My friend Deelee is a wonderful example of successful drug rehabilitation and the benefits of enrolling in a program designed to build a bridge to a new life and taking the steps to cross it.

Deelee worked hard to free herself from her cocaine addiction and knew she needed guidance and couseling as staying clean is a long term process. Every clean day is a miracle and a struggle for her, but she’s strong and positive and is crossing the bridge back to a productive life. She now has education plans for the future and giving back to others who need help is her primary focus.

Stonehawk offers addiction treatment programs with a variety of treatment models, ranging from detox to counseling. Long term treatment versus short term programs has been proven to work more effectively in the battle against addiction.

Many of the counselors at Stonehawk graduated from the very program in which they are working, giving them insight and the ability to relate to the need of the people they assist! They understand the causes of addiction and alcoholism and the reasons people turn to poor choices when they are trying to cope with unhappiness or hopelessness or traumatic events in their lives. Addiction is generally a compensation for something missing (or perceived to be missing) in one’s life.

The facility is very well staffed with 3 doctors on call and 12 RN’s on staff and the location on 350 feet of lake waterfront looks amazing.

The Stonehawk Blog has informative and useful information on drug and alcohol abuse, talking with your children or helping a friend or relative into rehab. It is full of important information of which we all should be more aware and knowlegeable. Read the well written articles about drug withdrawal, prescription drugs and a new treatment, the sauna detox which helps sweat chemicals from the body.
