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.

Non 12 Step Programs Work Just Fine

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

When someone needs to stop drinking and wants to join a program for help, they can turn to several treatment types. There are non 12 step programs that work in a different way than conventional treatment centers. They have a high success rate because of many years of research and training. The program has some key factors in it that help to make it effective and useful for patients.

People are encouraged to seek rehab at a non traditional center when dealing with alcohol issues. These places are full of supportive staff who work with patients to listen to their needs and concerns. Ideas and suggestions are formed around the actual person and not general people.

A center that is full of professional care and other people going through the same thing, will help a person feel better about their habit and seek help for it. They will get to speak with other people just like them and speak directly to staff members whenever they need to.

There is a secular approach which allows alcohol abusers that chance to meditate and find their inner peace. They will discover who they are and why they began drinking in the first place. It could be a pathway to self discovery that is much needed to someone who suffers from an addiction.

A treatment that involves non traditional methods may be more effective for certain people. There are some people who are not fond of rules or being told what to do. A plan that involves most of the patient’s opinion and planning, will have a willing participant rather than an unwilling one.

Finding non 12 step programs is easy, they are available in every community and neighborhood. The non traditional values and research, allows people to find their inner peace at their own rate and time and deal with the addiction with experienced and trained staff.

Non 12 Step Rehab Centers Ahead of their Time

Monday, April 5th, 2010

The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous has been around a long time. It has proven to be the best way to stay clean and sober. But guess what, it’s not treatment. It is aftercare. Non 12 step rehabs understand treatment is treatment and AA is aftercare. It is far too easy, and cheap, to simply take patients to AA meetings and say ok this is what you have to do to stay clean. AA is there to keep people sober but not get them sober and the difference is detox and rehab.

Non 12 Step Rehab Programs

Friday, March 12th, 2010

The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous have saved more lives than seat belts. It is one of the real “miracles” of the the 20th century. But this is the 21st century. And alcohol and drug rehab has been around for over 75 years. It is time to see that drug rehab has to contain more therapy and less AA. Non 12 step rehab programs offer more real treatment. And in a world where drugs and alcohol have become more available, rehabs have a bigger job to do. The time has come to put the 12 steps where they belong, as the way to stay clean and sober, after rehab and treatment is completed.
