Holiday Shopping... For Insurance?

The shopping season is upon us and people all around the world have got their lists made and are beginning to find deals in retail stores, as well as online. But there are more deals to be found than just your 70% off electronics.

It may sound strange, but this is actually the time to be shopping around for insurance. Health and life insurance policies can be shopped any time of the year (though enrollment periods may apply) and few people are aware that insurance rates can be considerably lower at this time of year. The reason for this is because no one is necessarily thinking about insurance right now.

The truth of the matter is that the fourth quarter is about to end for all companies, including insurance companies. Eager to make sales before the beginning of the year, many insurance companies offer their own deals on new policies during the holiday season.

Addiction: Mental, Physical, Dual

The medical industry is learning more and more each day about just how addiction works. We know that it affects an afflicted individual both mentally and physically, but we are beginning to go deeper and realize the true cause of addiction. Somewhere down the line, a person made the decision to partake in either drugs and/or alcohol, and further down the line, they became chemically dependent on that substance.

Dual diagnosis residential treatment programs attack the addiction from two points. First: what was the underlying condition that caused the person to take the chemical for the first time? Second: how do we get the individual to stop using, and continue to not use the drug anymore? New Dawn Treatment Center wholeheartedly approaches these questions in order to effectively treat all parts of the chemical dependency.

First off, they find what underlying condition (i.e. depression, mental disorders, stress, anxiety, pain) prompted the individual to find a solution in drugs and/or alcohol. This is integral; this issue must be addressed or else treating the addiction itself head-on will not be effective. If there is an issue with depression or physical pain, drug treatment counselors must discover a way to treat that issue, then allow for the individual to be weened off of the drugs that were keeping him/her at-bay.

Though this approach requires much more work than more traditional strategies, it is a much more solid long-term solution to addiction that also lessens the chances of relapse.
