Is it Time For an Intervention?

Family and friends are gathering together this holiday season.  It is a time for great joy and renewal of the spirit.  It may also be a time for coming to terms with the “elephant in the room”.  As you make plans to be with those you care about look inside yourself and ask…is everyone living a healthy lifestyle that can be sustained into 2017 and beyond?

These are tough questions to ask and MUCH tougher to address.  It may be important to touch base with some of the friends and relatives with whom you will be gathering before Christmas to strategize how you wish to handle a holiday intervention.  This may be one of the most important times in the life of your loved one.

The only mistake is ignoring an ongoing problem.  It will probably end in disaster.  Please remember that Blu By The Sea is a rehabilitation center for substance abuse located on the beautiful shores of the Gulf of Mexico in Florida’s panhandle.  It may be the right place for a loved one with a substance abuse problem.  Visit www.blubythesea.com.  Call today for more information at (850) 424-3252.  

The Times They Are a Changin’.

It is a familiar phrase made famous in a song by Bob Dylan.  Yes, the times they are a changin’ with regard to the legal use of marijuana.  No matter on which side of the argument you may fall you can’t stop a runaway locomotive.  The recent election shows that this plant, which may be medicinal but is definitely mind-altering, is becoming more and more acceptable.

Here is why we wanted to address the issue.  Remember that marijuana has different effects on different people.  It is very much like alcohol in that respect.  While many will argue that it does NOT lead to harsher, more addictive substances it must be recognized that the euphoria it brings could be the catalyst in attempting more harmful drugs.

Even if it is legal in your state that does not make it right for you!  Please remember that Blu By The Sea is a rehabilitation center for substance abuse, located on the beautiful shores of the Gulf of Mexico in Florida’s panhandle.  It may be the place for you or a loved one if you have a substance abuse problem.  Visit www.blubythesea.com.  Call today for more information at (850) 424-3252.
