		<description><![CDATA[Drug / alcohol rehab Vancouver, BC. What rehab program rehabilitates people back to full control over their actions? ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Drug rehab in Vancouver</strong>, BC focuses around 28 to 35 day rehab programs and extends itself for economic purposes through therapeutic communities TC. 2 months in a TC is not rehab, although you&#8217;ll probably be charged for it.</p>
<p><strong>Drug rehab centers</strong> are about rehabilitation, returning a person back to proper function. While some drug abusers can accomplish a full rehabilitation in 30 days, many addictions and life disorders don&#8217;t resolve in 30 days. Simply rehab is not completed in the allotted frame of time for recovery. Relapse becomes inevitable, returning a person back to the $700 to $1,000 / day rehab center, to only be released early and relapse or revert back to drug use.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s happening here?</p>
<p>Relapse often fails because the rehab program was not properly fitted to the person&#8217;s life or drug or alcohol abuse. A TC isn&#8217;t rehab. People given a proper and full rehab program would achieve rehabilitation during the course of a rehab program. TC would only be a transition phase out of rehab.</p>
<p>A <a title="learning model rehabilitation" href="http://www.narconon-vancouver.org/online-videos-on-drug-abuse-solutions/" target="_self">learning model of rehabilitation</a> would be better fitted for a person with life issues which were not resolving in the conventional 30 day rehab programs. While many executives, business people and successful individuals want to get back to their lives, urgency to return does not mean a rehab program should be shortened for time or work saving purposes.</p>
<p>A full rehab program would help the person come to terms with all aspects of the causes of drug / alcohol abuse, not just the consequences. The learning model of rehab focuses on the causes of addiction and helps a person address those life issues which are ruining their lives. Yes these can be handled. But life is not handled by ignoring or avoiding it.</p>
<p>Rehab is a place where people get their own determinism back to live life on their own terms and taking on their due responsibility for themselves, family, society and the consequences of their behavior on others. That&#8217;s a tall order, yet that&#8217;s what rehab should be doing.</p>
<p>Are you or a loved one going to accomplish that in 30 days?</p>
<p>Contact <a title="Narconon drug alcohol rehab" href="http://www.narconon-vancouver.org/online-videos-on-drug-abuse-solutions/" target="_self"><strong>Narconon for a drug / alcohol rehab program</strong></a> which rehabilitates people fully without justifying or making excuses.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Narconon rehab, long term rehab, how the 2010 Olympics will affect drug abuse]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the 2010 Vancouver Olympics start in under 1 month, how might these games or rather are drug infested city affect the Olympic games?</p>
<p>Vancouver, BC is a major port city for the rest of Canada and the US. Factually, a great deal of drugs move through our BC ports on their way to US markets according to the RCMP. Truthfully, many of the big drug players already have &#8216;family&#8217; representatives in the metro Vancouver area. I&#8217;m not talking about biker gangs, I&#8217;m talking mafia.</p>
<p>When the world puts it&#8217;s attention onto Vancouver, BC on 2010 some of that attention will be from drug dealing sources. We can expect an increase of gang land struggles between rival street dealers and possibly major players making moves into the area the 6 months following the Games. Prices of drugs may fluctuate and quality of drugs should likewise see some changes up and down.</p>
<p>Thankfully the majority of people coming to Vancouver will be wonderful social individuals wanting to tour the area and take part in the Olympic tradition. Vancouver welcomes the athletes, families and tourists converging on our city in February, 2010.</p>
<h2>Long Term Drug Rehab Centers in BC</h2>
<p>Currently, if you want a private pay long term addiction rehab program in BC, you&#8217;ll be paying $10,000 to $20,000 per month for the nicer centers. Many people have paid $50,000 for several months at &#8216;Edgewood&#8217; in Nanaimo, BC, some only to relapse shortly after but the majority to stay clean for a reasonable time following.</p>
<p>If one is comparing time / cost, the <a title="Narconon rehab &amp; detox program BC" href="http://www.narconon-vancouver.org" target="_blank">Narconon rehab program</a> is probably the most cost effective and life changing detox and rehab program available today in Canada. An average stay is between 3 and 5 months. The average cost is $25,000; half the amount you&#8217;d expect to pay at similar centers.</p>
<p>You can call us at Narconon Vancouver 604-873-1762 or 1-866-266-6616 to discuss the Narconon program for yourself of a family member.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Narconon BC History of Helping Drug Abusers</h2>
<p>Narconon drug rehab programs have helped thousands of drug abusers and alcoholics break the hold addiction had on their lives. Since the early 1970&#8217;s, Narconon BC used simple and very powerful learning programs which helped drug addicts come into full contact with their present environment and life situations.</p>
<p>Local BC Penitentiaries and courts ordered drug offenders to BC Narconon programs and courses as an alternative to imprisonment. BC&#8217;s Okala Prison received many Narconon counselors and supervisors who taught life skills, personal responsibility and ways toward self correction and emancipation.</p>
<p>The penitentiaries moved away from the city and Narconon became a residential program for private pay clients.</p>
<h2>Narconon BC Residential Rehab Program</h2>
<p>For years through the 1970&#8217;s, 1980&#8217;s and 1990&#8217;s Narconon BC ran drug rehab houses to help anyone suffering from addiction. 100s and 1,000s of people were helped to end drug and alcohol abuse in BC.</p>
<p>In 21st century, Narconon Vancouver was established to focus on drug prevention education. 10s of thousands of kids and adults were educated about the real dangers of drugs and alcohol. Many chose to never get involved in drugs or ceased to abuse drugs and alcohol because of these talks.</p>
<h2><strong>Today Narconon in BC &#8211; Drug Rehab &amp; Sauna Detox Center</strong></h2>
<p>Narconon BC has returned as is offering people help to end their own drug addiction. Narconon BC is a private pay, residential drug rehab &amp; sauna detoxification center.

		<description><![CDATA[West Vancouver, BC Drug rehab program, an alternative holistic approach different than 12 Step or medical 'disease' models. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Natural BC Drug Rehab &amp; Detox</h1>
<p>West Vancouver, BC has a devestating drug and alcohol abuse problem that is undercover. Big time drug dealers live and work in West Vancouver, BC. Supplies of cocaine, heroin and other drugs quickly get to the rich and famous residents and party goers of West Van., BC.</p>
<p>The families of West Vancouver, BC need and want a holistic and natural Drug Rehab and Detox program that brings their family back together and helps them get back the loved one they are loosing to drug abuse. Many families have already sent their loved ones to Edgewood, the Orchard and other higher end BC Drug Rehab Centers.</p>
<h1>BC Drug Rehab &#8211; Alternative Holistic Program</h1>
<p>See <a title="BC sauna detox &amp; rehab prgm" href="http://www.narconon-vancouver.org/bc-drug-rehab-center-holistic-rehab-sauna-detox/" target="_blank"><strong>BC Drug Rehab &amp; Detox &#8211; Holistic</strong></a> for rehab admission details. Alternatives to traditional 12 Step and &#8216;disease&#8217; based addiction philosophies are available to West Van, BC residents. Many drug &amp; alcohol abusers don&#8217;t fit into disease based models or 12 Step recovery program philosophies. Many alcohol and drug abusers will end their own addiction before it kills or seriously impairs them.</p>
<p>Not all drug abusers are predestined for a life of chemical intoxication. Many are normal people who simply got severely sidetracked by drugs and need help finding themselves again. Drug &amp; alcohol abusers can repair the damage that they&#8217;ve done and rehabilitate themselves IF they use the right tools, directions and alternative drug rehab &amp; detox program.</p>
<p>An alternative drug rehab &amp; detox program would first acknowledge the drug abuser can and should decide it&#8217;s time to take charge of their own lives. Now the person will need lots of help to get to rehab, stay with the program and succeed.</p>
<h2><strong>Drug Rehabilitation Philosophy &#8211; Success</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>People can be helped to end their years of drug &amp; alcohol abuse and are expected to be successfully rehabilitated</li>
<li>A decision to be healthy and take charge of their own life is expected for rehabilitation success</li>
<li>Sometimes drug abusers need lots of help, persuasion and insistence that they changes their ways and be informed of the natural consequences of continuous drug &amp; alcohol abuse (when properly done, this is called <em>Intervention </em>and is best done by a professional interventionist). Intervention is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> rehab.</li>
<li>People who decide to get rehab help require new skills and knowledge of how to successfully live clean and sober</li>
<li>Removing residual toxic residue baggage stored in the body is the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">best detox method</span> to prepare one for a new drug-free life. Toxic thoughts come from toxic bodies, clean thoughts come from clean healthy bodies</li>
<li><em>Rehabilitation</em> means to bring back to proper condition; return to being able; make right and proper</li>
<li>Intelligent and systematic right actions and open communication applied to problems resolves difficult situations</li>
<li>Anyone, despite prior situations, such as what was done to them or what they&#8217;ve done, can improve their conditions in life and end drug &amp; alcohol addiction</li>
<li>Starting a new drug-free life requires their participation.</li>
<li>One&#8217;s own decisions, agreements and actions makes one into a drug addict or alcoholic. You have the power to change your own decisions, agreements and actions and reclaim your life</li>
</ul>
<p>For <strong>Admission details</strong> see <strong><a title="BC sauna detox &amp; rehab prgm" href="../bc-drug-rehab-center-holistic-rehab-sauna-detox/" target="_blank"><strong>BC Drug Rehab &amp; Detox &#8211; Holistic</strong></a></strong> . You could admit someone in one day and begin their new drug-free lives by calling today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Narconon&#8217;s BC Drug Rehab &amp; Sauna Detox Program</strong> is back in British Columbia. Residential in-patient drug rehab and sauna detoxification program for private pay students / clients.</p>
<p>Private pay clients will be welcomed onto the program after acceptance by our intake counselor and agreements to abide by the acceptable behaviors required for continued advancement through rehab.</p>
<p>Narconon&#8217;s holistic drug &amp; alcohol rehab program meets and often exceeds family and rehab client&#8217;s expectations of a drug rehabilitation program. The difference in Narconon&#8217;s holistic program is that the physical health of a former drug abuser is rehabilitated first with a sauna detox program, proprietary and unique to drug rehabilation and detoxification programs.</p>
<p>Next, the Narconon rehab program in BC guides a person through their rehabiliation. Each person&#8217;s personal life and connections are inspected by the person themselves. Special courses and counseling is directed at correcting damaging behavior or abusive personal connections.</p>
<p><strong>Contact our intake counselor for admission onto the Narconon BC Drug Rehab &amp; Sauna Detox program at 604-873-1762, ask for admissions.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Drug &amp; Alcohol rehab and detox programs should improve abilities inherent in an individual. They should also train in life skills such as honesty, perseverance, contribution, living clean &amp; sober, ability to learn new things and to confront life situations and overcome difficulties without drugs or alcohol.</p>
<p>To help you understand the results you should expect from a detox and rehabilitation center, we have created an 18.5 min video<a title="Understanding addiction &amp; rehab" href="http://www.narconon-vancouver.org/online-videos-on-drug-abuse-solutions/" target="_self"> &#8216;7 Steps to Eliminating Addiction&#8217;</a> explaining drug &amp; alcohol dependency and how to end addiction.</p>
<p>These concepts may be new to you, or contradict someone&#8217;s deeply held beliefs that addiction is a life-long disease. Factually that is totally <span style="text-decoration: underline;">false</span>. Addiction is ended privately, publicly and personally by 1,000&#8217;s of people every couple months.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Vancouver, BC is experiencing gang violence fueled by drug and crime money. How did this problem get so out of hand? What can parents and families do about it before it destroys the family. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vancouver, BC appears to be the center of a drug and crime turf war. Many long-time Vancouverites are asking, &#8220;What is happening to my city?&#8221; As a 40 year resident in Greater Vancouver, I&#8217;m wondering if these acts of violence are a manifestation of societal decay, loose drug laws and an apathetic community.</p>
<p><strong>Greater Vancouver &#8212; War Zone in The Home</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been called by West Vancouver, North Van, Kerrisdale and Quilchena home owners whose young adult children were extorting their parents for protection in their own homes. In one case a West Van mom had her two boys threaten to kill themselves if she would interfere with the crack use.</p>
<p>A Quilchena family was kept in fear of having to bend their will to their son who would show up with a new BMW in their parking lot if mom and dad wouldn&#8217;t buy the kid one for himself. He didn&#8217;t work or go to school. But he placed his own and his family&#8217;s welfare in jeopardy for flash.</p>
<p>A North Van mother knew her son was working a grow op while his girl friend was pregnant with her soon to be grand child. If mom didn&#8217;t pay off his drug debts to the cocaine dealers who were after him, he was threatening suicide.</p>
<p>If this sounds like fairy tails to you, no it&#8217;s deadly real. These are case histories of people I worked with. All these kids are holding their families as moral hostages in a game of corruption which began long before then.</p>
<p><strong>Gangs and Materialism &#8212; Drug Use is Sabotaging Character</strong></p>
<p>Materialism is being taught on every TV, mall and in every University, morality is based on material possessions and money. If you are in doubt about this, ask how many ethics, character and philosophy courses are available in any public high school today. If you&#8217;re hoping for watered-down Disney ethics to do the trick, you&#8217;d better get some training yourself.</p>
<p>Gangs recruit kids from the age of 10 and 11 in elementary schools. These are the same tactics that the the Hitler Youth would recruit naive younger people &#8212; they used the stolen property and money from the neighbors, Jews at that time. Today gangs use drug, prostitution and stolen property money to &#8216;buy&#8217; cooperation. But the faster way is for gang members to apply peer pressure, gang and bullying tactics to threaten or &#8216;protect&#8217; vulnerable kids.</p>
<p><strong>Ethics and Character Leadership </strong></p>
<p>Values and morals can be taught. In fact, the final component of the Narconon rehab program is a common sense guide to better living called &#8216;The Way to Happiness&#8217;. This booklet, when applied has changed hardened criminals into peaceful and lawabiding citizens. Teaching values and successful strategies of succeeding in living can also bring a young person back to being themselves.</p>
<p>Videos and manuals. See our <a href="http://www.peerleader.ca">Narconon videos</a> or the index for further videos on drug rehab.</p>
<p>If addiction has already taken hold of your son or daughter, call us about our rehab program. It gets over 75% long-term success rate and is available for 18 year olds and up.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">The article details a scene so thoroughly corrupted with payoffs for fraudulent psychiatrists and medical doctor testimony that the <em>entire</em> community cannot be trusted in evaluating any medication.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Realize this lady was the editor of the most prestigious journal of medicine in the world for 20 years. The <em>NEJM</em> publishes studies after careful scrutiny of reports given. Ms Angell is stating unequivocally that <strong>no medical college or psychiatrist </strong>could be trusted to give unbiased reporting as they were receiving large sums of money from the drug companies they were reporting on.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">I strongly suggest anyone who has been experiencing any problems or difficulties with medications they&#8217;ve been prescribed to get properly checked by competent medical, naturopathic and other health practitioners to find the source of your conditions and get those properly treated.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Psychiatrists prescribing mind  mood altering drugs can no longer be trusted as these drugs have no solid foundation to stand on.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Troubled kids and drug abuse. Why are kids troubled? Most will indicate family problems or school. Both of these can be resolved if the youth or teen is educated by the parent to be part of the family and participate in it. Skills and abilities are key resources to develop in any growing youth to prepare them for adult life.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why are some kids unhappy and seem &#8216;down on themselves or life&#8217;?</p>
<p>How do drugs and alcohol abuse fit into a youth&#8217;s life?</p>
<p>Why do kids turn to drugs and alcohol abuse as a way out of life situations? And why do kids say they are stressed out?</p>
<p><strong>Youth Are Taking Responsibility For Their Families&#8217; Problems</strong></p>
<p>Young kids and teens have an innate sense of rightness. They know they depend on their mom and dad and other siblings to live well. When there is a perceived or real problem that isn&#8217;t resolved, kids often make it their problem.</p>
<p>Teenagers are trying to grow up as quick as possible in the best way they know how. They are also listening to their parents. When mom and dad say, &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry about money, we will deal with that. Just do well in school . . .&#8221; A kid may interpret that as, &#8220;I can&#8217;t help this family out financially and we have financial problems so I&#8217;m just a problem.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Failure: Perceived or Real</strong></p>
<p>Or, teens may have divorced themselves from being a part of the family after someone proved to them they couldn&#8217;t contribute to it. Disconnecting from the family after a real or perceived failure is quite common. They wanted to help their older brother through a problem and didn&#8217;t know how, so they feel like a failure; mom had an argument with dad about the kids so the oldest leaves home. You know?</p>
<p>The trick to helping kids confront and deal with these issues is by already having established an open and free flowing line of communication back and forth.  Absolving kids of their inherent responsibility is not a good solution. It&#8217;s better to prepare that teen for life and living so they can:</p>
<ol>
<li>Stand up to or confront the issue and the consequences of it</li>
<li>Help resolve that issue by contributing to bettering the situation, not by being invisible or disappearing</li>
<li>Contribute long lasting happiness and success to the family through accomplishment and development of strong character</li>
</ol>
<p>All these actions will require encouragement and support of a sensible and sensitive parent who is present in the lives of their kids.</p>
