It’s obvious to any parent who reads the news or is really connected to their children’s lives, that drug <strong>and</strong> alcohol abuse <strong>and</strong> dependence are a major problem among today’s adolescents <strong>and</strong> young adults. What may not be as obvious is what to do about it if you know or suspect that y<strong>our</strong> child is caught up in it. Traditional approaches normally involve inpatient rehabilitation programs <strong>of</strong> varying lengths using strict adherence to a 12-step program. Group or individual outpatient treatments use the 12- step model alone or as a follow up to inpatient rehab. Unfortunately, results from such traditional methods are frequently disappointing. Success rates (i.e., total abstinence after one year) following inpatient rehab treatment are as low as 18%. Successful outpatient treatment programs have been highly variable, with few prevailing st<strong>and</strong>ards. However, a new team approach combining a Board Certified physician in Addiction Medicine, Dr. Michael Frost, <strong>and</strong> Clinical Psychologist, W. E. ‘Ted’ Dewart, Ph.D. working in t<strong>and</strong>em, has shown promising results. A D V E R T I S E M E N T New Treatment For Adolescent Substance Abuse Shows Real Promise. H54 www.mainlinetoday.com Healthcare guide 2010 Their new individualized treatment plan <strong>of</strong>ten provides outpatient detoxification <strong>and</strong> medical treatment for withdrawal without an adolescent missing a single day <strong>of</strong> school or work. And, when indicated, medications can be given after detoxification to help reduce the potential for relapse. When combined with a unique weekly intensive psychotherapy program, their initial results show the success rate <strong>of</strong> total abstinence after one year to be very enc<strong>our</strong>aging, surpassing 75%. Their positive outcomes are a result <strong>of</strong> using a whole new category <strong>of</strong> medications that change the chemistry <strong>of</strong> the brain coupled with intensive, two-h<strong>our</strong> long psychotherapy sessions. Here, Dr. Dewart works to re-structure the adolescent’s underlying personality by teaching how his or her thinking, relating, <strong>and</strong> behaving is getting in the way <strong>of</strong> an otherwise successful life. For more on how Drs. Dewart & Frost’s team approach may be able to help y<strong>our</strong> adolescent or young adult, call 610-825-6607 or visit www.Dewart<strong>and</strong>Frost.com.

The American Cancer Society’s most recent estimate for the number <strong>of</strong> colorectal cancer cases in the United States are for 2009: 106,100 new cases <strong>of</strong> colon cancer <strong>and</strong> 40,870 new cases <strong>of</strong> rectal cancer in both men <strong>and</strong> women. While colorectal cancer is <strong>of</strong>ten found after symptoms appear, most people with early colon or rectal cancer have no symptoms <strong>of</strong> the disease. Symptoms usually appear only with more advanced disease. This is why getting the recommended screening tests before any symptoms develop is so important. The American Cancer Society recommends colonoscopy as well as other options. When colorectal cancer is caught at an early stage, it has a 90% survival rate. “Colon polyps are the seeds for colon cancer. By finding <strong>and</strong> removing them, we hope to keep the garden clear” according to Robert R. Atkins M.D., Medical Director. Take control: be an informed health consumer, get screened. Call y<strong>our</strong> physician <strong>and</strong> discuss what option is right for you. For more information visit the American Cancer Society: www.cancer.org or call 1-800-ACS-2345 Robert R.
