KANSAS CITY, MO, September 17, 2010 (Press-News.org) One of the biggest issues in addiction treatment is the high rate of relapse for patients. One of the most successful treatment facilities for relapse treatment and prevention is Challenges, a facility in Fort Lauderdale Florida.
Challenges is the first treatment center to have been awarded the prestigious national certification as a "Center of Excellence" in relapse treatment and prevention.
Unique Relapse Treatment and Prevention Approach
One reason the Challenges program is so successful is because of the focus on individual, unique treatment plans. Challenges incorporates cutting edge technology together with traditional treatment, twelve-step oriented treatment, and alternative treatment therapies for those challenged by alcoholism and drug abuse, chemical dependency, as well as co-existing, co-occurring and dual diagnosed disorders.
The relapse prevention experts at Challenges who treat addiction use a wide variety of different features in their treatment programs including:
*Technology Enhanced Recovery and Aftercare
*Full Day/PHP Treatment with or without Structured Living
*Extended Care Transitional Treatment
*Intensive Out Patient Treatment (IOP/Evenings & Partial Day)
*Flexible, Unique Individualized Treatment Plans
*Alternative Therapies used as part of recovery process.
Challenges founder Dale P. Redlich says they are constantly developing new ways to give clients support:
"We believe it's important to think outside the box in order to create successful programs for recovery, especially with clients who have a history of relapse. We are always pushing ourselves, seeking new ways to support our clients. For example, right now we are working with some of the world's leading technology research experts to create treatment support using new technology. We call our intensive continuing care support plan "Technology Enhanced Recovery" . We want to give our clients all the tools they need to help them identify their own particular warning signals and trigger mechanisms."

Protein clamps tight to telomeres to help prevent aging ... and support cancer
2010-09-16
The number of times our cells can divide is dictated by telomeres, stretches of DNA at the tips of our chromosomes. Understanding how telomeres keep our chromosomes – and by extension, our genomes – intact is an area of intense scientific focus in the fields of both aging and cancer. Now, scientists at The Wistar Institute have published the first detailed report on the structure and function of a crucial domain in the protein known as Cdc13, which sustains telomeres by clamping to DNA and recruiting replicating enzymes to the area.
While the nature of this portion of ...
NASA satellite measures monstrous Hurricane Igor as a '10-hour drive'
2010-09-16
Hurricane Igor is a monster hurricane in terms of strength and size. To get a perspective on its size, it is the same distance from one end of the storm to the other as it is from Boston, Mass. to Richmond, Va., some 550 miles. That's a 10-hour drive from one end to the other, and NASA satellites captured that entire distance in one image.
Because Hurricane Igor is a large storm and even if Igor doesn't make a direct landfall in Bermuda, the extent of the winds (the wind field) is so large that the National Hurricane Center noted that Bermuda can be buffeted by winds ...
Novel target for existing drug may improve success of radiation therapy
2010-09-16
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered a new drug target that could improve the effectiveness of radiation for hard-to-treat cancers.
The finding, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, focuses on the role of the enzyme cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). This enzyme promotes development and functioning of blood vessel networks that feed malignant tumors, enabling them to overcome the effects of radiation.
They have also identified a drug that stops production of the enzyme. Inhibiting the enzyme can stop ...
Increased brain protein levels linked to Alzheimer's disease
2010-09-16
Elevated levels of a growth protein in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients is linked to impaired neurogenesis, the process by which new neurons are generated, say researchers at the University of California, San Diego in today's edition of The Journal of Neuroscience.
Eliezer Masliah, MD, professor of neurosciences and pathology in the UC San Diego School of Medicine and colleagues report that increased levels of BMP6 – part of a family of bone morphogenetic proteins involved in cell signaling and growth – were found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients and ...
