We’re always looking for ways to better support the people in our care.

That’s why we’ve introduced trauma-informed yoga at River Oaks Treatment Center, as part of our ongoing commitment to whole-person, evidence-based healing.🫶

Recovery isn’t just mental. It’s physical. It’s emotional. And how we reconnect with the body matters.

This is one more way we’re helping patients build a foundation that lasts.

If you or someone you love is looking for care that goes deeper, we’re here to help. DM or call us for more information. 📲 866-407-4832

We don’t talk enough about how hard it is to know what to say�when someone you love is struggling with alcohol.

So we fall back on frustration.�
Ultimatums.�
Words we don’t actually mean.

Breaking the silence isn’t just about talking about alcohol use, it’s about how we show up in those conversations.

👉 Save this. It could help more than you think!

He has a job.
She pays the bills.
He goes to the gym.
She shows up… most of the time.

So this isn’t a problem… right?

Wrong.

When alcohol use looks “high-functioning,” it often just means the consequences haven’t caught up yet.

Here’s what people ignore:

• Joking about how much they drink
• Every situation revolves around alcohol
• “At least I’m not as bad as…”
• Getting defensive when it’s brought up
• Needing it to relax, sleep, or socialize
• Quitting… and always going back
• Being there physically, but not really present

You don’t have to lose everything to have a problem.

And you don’t have to hit rock bottom to take a closer look.

If this feels a little too familiar, don’t ignore it.

Change doesn’t have to be a big, perfect moment.

If you've been here for some time, you know that Mike Diamond, Recovery Advocate, does a lot of our weekend videos.

Well… this weekend, we’re giving Mike the time off. And for a very good reason:
He’s celebrating 20 years in recovery! 🎉

20 years of showing up.
20 years of doing the work.
20 years of choosing a different path again and again.

We asked Mike what it takes to reach a milestone like this, and he shared 3 things that have helped him navigate life’s ups and downs:
• Stay connected — When he feels angry, resentful, or frustrated, he checks in with another sober person instead of checking out.
• Don’t take things personally — “It’s just information… good, bad,
or indifferent.”
• Stay present — Appreciate what you have right now, because this moment is the only one guaranteed.

Simple, but not always easy. And clearly, it works.

Mike, we’re grateful for you, your honesty, and the way you show up for others.

👏 Help us celebrate Mike. Drop some love in the comments for 20 years in recovery!

We see every day how complicated -- and how human -- recovery really is.

That’s why we’re proud to promote director Jeffrey D. Shulman's new documentary, "What It Takes" -- a film about addiction, recovery, and the moments that remind people change is still possible.

Told through real stories -- including a former patient from our Orange County, CA sister center -- the film challenges how people understand addiction and what it really takes to find a way forward.

🎬 Premiering the month and coming to select cities this spring!

There’s a lot of noise around cannabis right now.

From menopause relief to brain health claims, many of these messages are spreading faster than the research behind them.

Here’s what current research actually suggests:�
👉 Cannabis is being used for symptom relief, but much of the data is still limited and self-reported�
👉 It’s often seen as a “safer alternative,” yet it still carries real risks for mental health and cognitive function�
👉 Research on brain health is mixed. Some findings suggest potential benefits, while others link regular use to memory and attention challenges

What matters most? Access has increased. Potency has increased. But public understanding hasn’t always kept up.

Cannabis isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it isn’t risk-free, especially with frequent use or higher-THC products.
This isn’t about judgment. It’s about having the full picture.

💬 Where do you see the biggest gap between what people believe about cannabis and what you’ve actually experienced?

Counselors and therapists make it possible for people to take the first real step toward change.

Behind every recovery story, there’s someone who helped carry the weight when it was too heavy to hold alone.

Counselors and therapists do that work every day!
🫶 They sit in the hard moments.
🫶 They hold space for stories people have never said out loud.
🫶T hey show up, again and again, with patience, honesty, and care.

This National Counseling Awareness Month, we’re taking a moment to say thank you to the people who show up, listen, and help make change possible!

⚠️Cannabis isn’t as harmless as many people believe.

During National Cannabis Awareness Month, we’re taking a closer look at what often gets overlooked.

As legalization expands, so does the perception that cannabis is “safe.” But research -- and real clinical experience -- tell a more complicated story.👈

Regular use has been linked to:
• Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
• Symptoms of anxiety, mania, and psychosis
• Impaired memory, judgment, and decision-making

🚨And for some populations, the risks are even greater:
• During pregnancy, cannabis use may impact birth weight
• Early exposure may affect long-term mental development and behavior

This isn’t about fear; it’s about understanding the full picture.

🎥 In this video, Dr. Mitrevolis, medical director at our sister center in Southern California, breaks down what’s happening and why it matters.

If you or someone you love has questions about cannabis use and mental health, we’re here to help. Send us a private message to learn more.

📞 Before you reach for a drink this weekend… reach for your phone.

That to urge drink? It can feel automatic. Weekends can be tough; stress, boredom, and even old habits can make reaching for a drink feel automatic.�

👉 But it’s not the only option.

If that urge happens, grab your phone.��

💚 Call someone you trust�
💚 Connect with a support group�
💚 Talk to your sponsor, counselor, or a treatment provider

You don’t have to do this alone. One conversation can be enough to shift the moment… and start something different.

It’s okay to not be okay.

But it’s not okay for people to struggle without access to care.

This Public Health Week, we’re reminded that real support means more than words. It means making sure help is there when it’s needed most.

👉 Access to care.
👉 Access to support.
👉 Access to a path forward.

That’s the work we show up for every day. Because getting help shouldn’t be the hardest part. 💙
