How to Find a Rehab in Your Area

Finding in alcohol rehab facilities in your area does not have to be a challenge. This is particularly true of the secret, highly functional drinker who is smart enough to know he or she has a problem but does not want anyone to know about it. Guess what else? Some of the trickiest, secret drinkers are always going to be our teenage kids.

One of the simplest ways to find alcohol rehab facilities is to simply go online and do a search. Put in the name of the town or region that you are hoping to find help in and then search. There are also many comprehensive sites online that list all of the rehab centers in the United States by State and Region. Some specialize in helping adolescents and pre-teens with addiction problems of all kinds –including drinking.

If you do not wish, for reasons of staying private you can look up rehabs in an area where you might wish to go to recover in peace; far away from the usual pressures and family and social influences that may be causing you or your kid to drink in the first place.

It sounds absurdly simple but the plain truth is that most alcohol rehab facilities in your area will be listed in your local Yellow Pages. After you 'let your fingers do the walking' talk to someone at the facility to find out what a stay costs and what kind of treatment they offer.

It may seem painful to send your kid away for treatment but sometimes their best chance of getting well.

There are all kinds of health professionals that can recommend alcohol rehab facilities and detox units to people who are genuinely interested in recovering from their addiction. Psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists and physicians of all kinds will generally have recommendations about what are the best alcohol rehab facilities in your area.

Many Al-Anon and A.A. meetings are held in churches and most priests or pastors are more than willing to recommend alcohol facilities that may have helped other people in your community who were in need of help with an addiction.

The bottom line is you should never be hesitant to seek help for your drinking problem or be shy about asking for resources to help you find the alcoholic rehab facilities that you need. You should also get immediate help for a kid who has a drinking problem. It is their best chance of getting well.

Fight Acne With Galvanic Skin Gadgets

Do you have 'difficult skin?' How about your teenager? Does it always embarrass you just before a big job interview or important date? Is your teenager hiding in his or her room with attitude problems?

Does your skin misbehave by –
• Breaking out into blackheads, pimples or acne with no notice
• Failing to absorb expensive creams
• Look inflamed or puffy (especially around the eyes)
• Giving you a black rim around your eyes that makes you look like a raccoon
• Develop jowls
• Developing creases and wrinkles
• Looking saggy
• Sporting a dirty or flaky looking texture
• Having enlarged pores
• Boasting an unattractive grey or pale tone?

If so then you can be helped by a galvanic ionic facial massager such as the Fyola massager. This is brand new technology from Japan that is a cross between an ultrasound wand and an ionic facial massager. The ultrasound conducts a mild electrical current that helps gently exfoliate the surface of the skin, increase circulation (which brings healing blood to the surface of the skin so that toxins and bacteria can be whisked away) and gently exfoliates it.

This gadget is not just for teens. It is also for moms. The ionic galvanizing component creates a polarity of energy that draws water away from the skin and helps flush away impurities. The end result is a less fatty, jowled look and a more attractive sculpted look to your face.

For instance if your goal is to massage and clean your face then select an electronic wave mode. This helps remove the waste beneath your skin. This cleansing mold dissolves dirt, oils and other debris on the skin. The nutrition mode on the unit helps massage products deep into the dermis of your skin tissues. This ensures that the product is absorbed and utilized by your skin.

For best results move the massager around in circles on your skin. This will help lift, nourish and whiten your skin efficiently. After using the massager you should always wash your face as it is likely there will be dead skin cells flaking on the surface of it. You should then clean the treatment head of the massager with tissue to prevent bacteria growing on it.

All of this positive change can be accomplished simply by using the unit for five to ten minutes a day!
