Drug Treatment Washington State
Drug Treatment Washington State
The most frequently prescribed pharmaceutical drug is antidepressants. Did you know thirty-five million dollars of your taxes was spent to fund the largest trial of its kind on antidepressants? March 23, 2006, The Washington Post reported the results of this study. “…antidepressants fail to cure the symptoms of major depression in half of all patients, even if they received the best possible care.”
Furthermore, “…a significant number of patients continue to experience symptoms such as sadness, low energy, and hopelessness after intensive treatment, even as about an equal number report an end to such problems–a result that quickly lent itself to interpretations that the glass was neither half empty or half full.”
Government statistics reveal, depression affects fifteen million Americans each year. One hundred eighty-nine million prescriptions of antidepressants were written last year, and the disease costs eighty-three billion dollars annually because of treatment costs, lost productivity, absenteeism and suicide.
This information begs the question–If antidepressants yield these dismal results, why then do physicians, psychiatrists, pharmaceutical companies continue to tout the virtues of antidepressants as a miracle in the form of a pill?
The answer is simple. Antidepressants are easy to produce and can be sold at high prices. Antidepressants are a cash cow and people who have come to believe that a ‘quick fix’ is possible vis-à-vis the commercial and media blitz marketing are easy and plentiful prey.
There is hope. The American Health Magazine reported these findings from a comparison study.
o Psychoanalysis: Creates a 38% recovery after 600 sessions
o Behavior Therapy: Creates a 72% recovery after 22 sessions
o Hypnosis: Creates a 93% recovery after 6 sessions
This study confirms–Hypnosis is more effective and works more quickly than traditional talk-therapy or psychoanalysis. In a hypnotic state, you are more receptive to new ideas and you can more effectively process the emotions linked to the experiences, which created pain, fear, sadness, anger, guilt, shame, humiliation and low self-esteem.
Hypnosis is a dynamic and vital healing process embracing all aspects health care. Hypnosis is client-centered with its focus on the discovery of the origin of a person’s issues. Through the process of hypnosis/regression the unconscious mind goes to the original cause, which then gives the person and practitioner the opportunity to process the original feelings surrounding the original experience/cause. These surrounding feelings can be healed, thus empowering the person to live the life they want to live.
Through Hypnosis you connect with your subconscious mind, which puts YOU in control of your subconscious mind–the most powerful and empowering aspect of your brain.

I need the name of a in-patient drug treatment facility where my daughter can have her 4 week old son?
does anyone know of a drug treatment facility in washington state where new mothers can have thier baby stay at the facility with them? My daughter is a single mother, 20yrs old and my beautiful grandson is 4 weeks old. I want to keep them together if possible but there is no getting out of going to treatment for my daughter. it would be best for both of them to go together so please help with any info you may have. thank you very much for your time.
I think its wonderful that you are trying to keep your daughter and her baby together. So many people are so quick to judge that drugs cannot be overcome. I have a friend who used heroin from age 13 to 20. She is now a great mum with a loving husband and a part time job. She has told me her only reason for wanting to give up the drugs was her baby. Don’t get me wrong the childs health and wellbeing should come first but in rehab expecially at one that takes children normally only take other mums she will have someone watching her and her child at all time so if they feel there is a problem they will help. I think rehab is the best option for you, your daughter and her baby. It takes a strong person to stick by their children in these cases, you have my respect and best wishes to the whole family. I hope your daughter finds the help and support she needs. I am sorry I cannot help with the name of a rehab but if you or your daughter ever need to chat my email is open….
