Most people do not know they have options regarding drug recovery programs. Research shows that over 95% of drug recovery programs are a failure! Don’t waste your money. Get my report and you will see why.
Continue with this post and you will see a chart that shows the difference between conventional drug treatment and alternative drug treatment programs.
Past research has shown that omega 3 fatty acids (fish oil) are very helpful in recovery of mental disorders.
Recent research published in the February issue of Archives of General Psychiatry discovered that people at extremely high risk of developing a psychosis were found to be less likely to develop psychotic disorders after just 12 weeks of taking an omega-3 supplement.
Below is a summary of the study:
Objective: To determine whether omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) reduce the rate of progression to first-episode psychotic disorder in adolescents and young adults aged 13 to 25 years with subthreshold psychosis.
Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted between 2004 and 2007.
Setting: Psychosis detection unit of a large public hospital in Vienna, Austria.
Participants: Eighty-one individuals at ultra-high risk of psychotic disorder.
Interventions: A 12-week intervention period of omega-3 PUFA or placebo was followed by a 40-week monitoring period; the total study period was 12 months.
Results: The difference between the groups in the cumulative risk of progression to full-threshold psychosis was 22.6% . Polyunsaturated fatty acids also significantly reduced positive symptoms, negative symptoms, general symptoms and improved functioning compared with a placebo. There were no negative side effects.
Conclusions: omega-3 PUFAs reduce the risk of progression to psychotic disorder and may offer a safe and efficacious strategy for indicated prevention in young people with subthreshold psychotic states.

The American Psychiatric Association is proposing major changes to its diagnostic “bible”, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition. This is the manual that doctors, insurers and scientists use in deciding what’s officially a mental disorder and what symptoms to treat. The current manual is referred to as DSM IV.
The manual covers a wide spectrum of mental disorders, including drug abuse, ADHD, Autism, mood, eating, anxiety, dementia, etc.
The draft manual is posted at www.DSM5.org and is up for public debate through April 20, 2010. Visit the site and leave your comments. Who knows, you might make an impact.
I watched the first two episodes of the VH1 show, Celebrity Rehab 3 (Thursdays at 10pm), that advertises that it will follow Mackenzie Phillips, Heidi Fleiss, Dennis Rodman, Mindy McCready, Lisa D’Amato, Mike Starr, Kari Ann Peniche, Joey Kovar, and Tom Sizemore (Tom has not showed up yet) in an intensive 21-day drug rehab program.
This program is being supervised by Dr. Drew Pinsky, Medical Director of the Department of Chemical Dependency Services at Southern California’s Las Encinas Hospital.
The show takes place inside one of Southern California’s private addiction and recovery treatment facilities, the Pasadena Recovery Center. The center states that they believe in addressing mind, body, and spirituality in the treatment of addiction and offer several different “holistic treatments” which include yoga, meditation, acupuncture and fitness. (At least these 4 activities are a start to providing a complete program for true healing and recovery).
Celebrity Rehab Drug Program Failure
It was heart wrenching to watch the celebrities going through detox in episode two. Maybe it was good for some people to see it as a deterrent, but this is one of the areas where the rehab program completely fails! And this is where almost all conventional treatment programs fail. They are not treating and healing the brain first and using other holistic methods for quick recovery.
One of the first things they should be doing is using an IV to get the nutrients into the body as quickly as possible to detox and heal the brain neurotransmitters. This procedure also greatly reduces withdrawal symptoms and helps reduce relapses.
It is very unfortunate that Dr. Drew and the Pasadena Recovery Center is still using old outdated methods that have a high failure rate. The public should know that there are alternatives that are very successful.
Watch the video below to learn the truth about current conventional drug addiction treatment, why it has such a low success rate and what really needs to be done to recover from addiction.
This is a video with Dr. CE Gant that I recently shot and edited. It is very important that you “get it” (understand it) if you truly want to solve your drug abuse situation.
Researchers from Emory’s Rollins School of Public Health and Georgia State University have stated that daily marijuana use in adolescence may hasten symptoms of psychosis. The study was published in the November issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.
The researchers analyzed data from 109 hospitalized patients who were experiencing their first psychotic episode. The results showed that patients who had a history of using marijuana, or cannabis, and increased to daily pot smoking experienced both psychotic and pre-psychotic symptoms at earlier ages.
“We were surprised that it wasn’t just whether or not they used cannabis in adolescence that predicted the age of onset, rather it was how quickly they progressed to becoming a daily cannabis user that was the stronger predictor,” said Michael Compton, lead author and assistant professor of psychiatry in the Emory School of Medicine.
