Recovery Support Groups: Exploring the Options

Image
    Originally posted on Futures Recovery Healthcare Our nation has seen an increase in the misuse of alcohol and other substances that continues to grow each year. According to the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 14.4 million adults 18 years and older had an alcohol use disorder (AUD) and an estimated 88,000 people die from alcohol-related causes each year. When it comes to substance abuse, the same survey reported more than  20 million Americans over the age of 12 with a substance use disorder (SUD). AUD is defined by the National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse (NIAAA) as a chronic, relapsing brain disease characterized by the inability to stop or control alcohol use despite negative consequences such as social, economic, or health issues. A SUD is categorized into three subgroups; mild, moderate, and severe. It is  defined by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)  as compulsive drug seeking despite negative consequences.

And each year, there are upwards of  88,000 alcohol-related deaths .  While alcohol and alcohol use disorders (AUD), as well as substance use disorders (SUD), are becoming more and more prevalent so too are those recovering from alcohol and substance use issues.

(June 4, 2020) – A recent online study surveyed dentists in 30 different countries in order to assess the psychological effects COVID-19 has had among dental professionals. The survey assessed their levels of anxiety and fear of contracting the disease while working during the pandemic, as well as the dentists’ knowledge about practice modifications to combat COVID-19. After analyzing the responses of over 600 dental professionals, the study concluded that 78% feared the devastating effects of COVID-19. Other findings showed that even though 90% of the respondents were aware of recent changes in protocol, only 61% said their practices have amended treatment protocols for infection control. To cope with the anxiety and fear, dental professionals should keep attending dental continuing education sessions and workshops to help them understand the new guidelines in place. As pract

How do we deal with our own anxiety and that of those around us in healthy and compassionate ways? Practicing self-care is a good start. Taking care of ourselves first makes us more capable to take care of others.

Pay Attention to Your Physical Well-Being If something affects your emotional well-being — like anxiety about the COVID-19 pandemic — it is going to be reflected in your physical well-being. If you start taking care of yourself physically, it will improve both your emotional and physical health. So first make sure you are taking care of yourself physically. Eat a nutritious

Spirituality and Addiction Recovery

          Originally posted on Futures Recovery Healthcare Addiction, addiction recovery, alcoholism, now referred to as alcohol use disorder (AUD), and substance use disorders (SUD) have become more prevalent in our society today. It’s very likely that everyone either is or knows someone who has struggled with – or continues to have –  some type of addiction issue. And while the increase in AUDs and SUDs is not desired, the silver lining is that there has been a significant increase in research in the field of addiction. More and more is being learned about the disease of addiction, yielding growth in treatment options. This increasing  variety of addiction treatment programs  reaches even more people living in addiction to get the help they need and find long-lasting recovery. The Evolving Face of Sobriety In the early 1900s, anyone who suffered from an alcohol problem did not fare well. So little was known and understood about alcoholism and addiction during that time the

The Champion Firm Donates Laptops to Georgia Students During COVID-19 Crisis

Image
The coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused unprecedented changes to the way Georgians are living their lives. The pandemic has shuttered businesses, led to layoffs, and interrupted education statewide. On April 1, Gov. Brian Kemp announced that the state’s public schools will be closed for the remainder of the year, switching instead to digital learning. The announcement highlighted a glaring problem for Georgia students: Far too few have Internet access and a computer to learn on. At The Champion Firm, P.C. , we wanted to help bridge the gap. That’s why we donated 25 new laptops to needy students at Campbell High School in Smyrna. While computers cannot replace in-person learning, they can help Cobb County students access the online assignments they need to prevent learning loss during this difficult time. That way, they will be as prepared as possible when they return to school again. We’re proud to support the fine Georgia teachers and administrators who are working so hard to reach
