INSPIRE MALIBU TREATS ADDICTION WITH SCIENCE, NOT FAITH

Friday, November 4th, 2011

ADDICTION INNOVATOR DR. AKIKUR MOHAMMAD’S INSPIRE MALIBU IS BEING CALLED THE FUTURE OF SECULAR ADDICTION TREATMENT

Dr. Akikur Mohammad, Founder of Malibu Horizon, the leading non 12-step treatment center in Malibu, California and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and the Behavioral Sciences at the University of Southern California (USC.edu), today announced that the recent opening of Inspire Malibu is indicative of the country’s need for not only a community approach to treatment, but also a growing demand for a recovery model that treats addiction with science, not religion.

 Utilizing a team of the industry’s top addiction and behavior experts, Inspire Malibu has garnered a great deal of recent national attention by becoming the first true recovery community to treat everything from food addiction to substance abuse in one communal facility, and with a purely scientific approach.

 Dr. Mohammad said, “It is critical that Inspire Malibu provides a non faith-based option for treatment to protect an individual’s constitutional rights, which state that religion shall not be forced upon them, but also for the simple fact that not everyone has a belief in God or religion – a fact that must be respected.” Mohammad added, “Frankly. We are dealing with the disease of addiction and like any disease recognized by the American Medical Association, the most effective, logical and accepted approach is one based in science, not religion. I will never discount the value of faith; however, we treat diabetes with a steady course of medicine, not prayer and the disease of addiction must be approached with the same logic.”

 Inspire Malibu’s non 12-step, non-religious, secular approach to recovery, coupled with their groundbreaking community model is recognized as the future of effective addiction treatment by industry insiders and Dr. Mohammad’s scientific approach is at the core of it’s success. “The addiction community has been derailed and distracted for many years by faith-based treatment tools and the patients have suffered. We are dealing with a medical disease and the primary course of treatment must be based in science, it is that simple,” added Mohammad.

 Inspire Malibu will be featured in an upcoming CBS special – check the Inspire Malibu site for details.

Dual Diagnosis Rehab Is A Must For Most

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

In case your not sure what dual diagnosis means, join the club. Most people have never heard of dual diagnosis, let alone know its meaning. You might guess it means when a person have 2 or more diagnosis, and that is correct. Specifically, it refers to someone who suffers from both alcohol or substance abuse and some kind of psychiatric problem too. The majority of people who abuse drugs and or alcohol are doing so to self medicate and self soothe a mental disorder. It is also known as a co-occurring condition. When someone reaches the point where they need to go to rehab, it better be a dual diagnosis rehab, and they most certainly need to have other issues correctly diagnosed and treated. Otherwise, the person will have not resolved the underlying cause and will almost certainly be back using again.

Drug Treatment Saves Lives

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Drug addiction is a fatal disease. You either wise up, are locked up or get covered up, that’s about the size of it. Still, going through the process of drug treatment is not fun. But neither is jail or the morgue. I talk with a lot of people who tell me they have tried drug rehab several times and it does not work. And I know they are telling me the truth. Ironically, an addict is probably the worst candidate for doing everything necessary to succeed in recovery. But when your life and freedom are literally on the line, some humans can often find a new gear. And that’s generally what it takes to make it.

Drug Treatment Centers Aren’t All Bad

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Nobody in their right mind gets up and says, “I think I’ll go to a drug treatment center for 30 days”. Drug centers are for people who have suffered a lot of pain. And pain, in this case isn’t all bad. Addicts are some of the nicest people in the world. Unfortunately, they are also some of the sickest. That’s right, addiction is a disease, a brain disease. Going to a treatment center and rehabilitation is no guarantee of successful recovery. This disease is very sneaky and will trip up the addict if given half a chance. Drug centers can only do so much to get the addict on the right road and headed in the right direction. The rest is up to the person to make recovery their number one priority, forever.

Michael Jackson Died From Brain Disease

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Maybe I missed it, but I have not seen the real truth about Michael Jackson’s death come out yet. The truth is Michael Jackson died from a fatal brain disease, that is right. And the thing that is a shame is that everyone close to him knew he had it and as far as I know, NOT ONE OF THEM did enough about it. Wait, there is more to the story. Part of the brain disease Michael Jackson had made it difficult if not virtually impossible for Michael to get the medical help he so obviously needed, on his own. Oh I saw a story today where supposedly Elizabeth Taylor tried to help Michael. So maybe it wasn’t everybody who knew him. Michael Jackson could be alive today if only someone close to him would have stepped up and helped him get treated for his fatal brain disease. And what was the brain disease? The fatal brain disease Michael Jackson had was what is known as drug addiction, a very treatable, beatable disease that can be put and kept in remission.

Doing 30 Days in an Addiction Center

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

People say going to a 30 day drug addiction treatment center is a big waste of time and money. People who say ” I am not going to go to rehab because it does not work”, do not know what they are talking about. And they are using it as a lame excuse to not go. The truth is 30 days of inpatient rehab is the ideal way to start down the road of successful recovery.  It is true not everyone who goes to drug rehab is successful. Those who do not make it in recovery, fail because they were unwilling to give it 100%. Since, addiction is a fatal disease, I like the odds of doing 30 days of rehab, as opposed to the absolute certainty of death from the disease called drug addiction.
