Press Release Body: SouthCoast Recovery Announces a Prescription Drug Rehab Program
- SouthCoast Recovery is proud to introduce an exceptionally effective treatment
program for prescription drug addiction.

Opiates (oxycontin, vicodin, codeine, darvocet, demerol, fentanyl, heroin, morphine)
and benzodiazepines (valium, xanax, klonopin) are the new drugs of choice for
America's youth and we have seen a huge increased in admission to our treatment
facility listing opiates, benzodiazepines or some combination of opiates with other
drugs as their primary addiction. Noticing this increase led our team to develop a
specialized treatment protocol to more effectively treat this type of addiction. On
June 1, 2007, our first client was admitted to our prescription drug rehab program
with promising results. The new program works like this:

It is the experience of SouthCoast Recovery that prescription drug addiction needs
to be approached in a very particular way. Due to the long acting physical and
psychological effects of heroin, oxycontin, xanax, valim and klonopin and
prescription medication of all kinds, South Coast Recovery has developed a unique
treatment program for people addicted to these types of drugs. Prescription drug
users have a very high relapse rate during the early states of recovery due to the
physical pain of withdrawal and easy access involved. The body has cravings that the
brain interprets as a signal that the body is in pain. Doctors prescribe these
medications to almost anyone. Our prescription drug treatment program recommends
that the client to be prescribed medications that decrease this level of pain for
the first 10-14 days. These analgesic drugs (suboxone or naltrexone) block the
transmission of pain messages to the brain thereby decreasing the level of pain. We
have experienced a 88% success rate during the first two weeks of recovery using
this method versus a 22% success rate using no opiate blockers.

SouthCoast Recovery has treated prescritption medication addictions for over 14
years. The first stage is to physically stabilize the person. We refer our clients
to an addiction medicine specialist for evaluation and opiate blocking medications,
if necessary. Detox doesn't have to be painful. With the addition of a
state-licensed detox, clients are now admitted to a SouthCoast residential home
specifically designed for medically supervised drug detox. "The addition of our
detox facility is an exciting venture," says Executive Director, Dennis Larkin.
"We're thrilled to be able to offer this component as another layer of support to
our clients."
This process doesn't have to be painful. With the addition of its state-licensed,
medically supervised detox program, SouthCoast Recovery is now equipped to handle
all stages of the recovery process. This personal attention allows clients to
comfortably progress to the next level of recovery.

Once a person is stabilized and has an opiate blocker medication, the learning
begins. Each client is evaluated by our psychologist, Dr. Robert Buley, to identify
issues and goals. Our marriage and family therapist identifies relationship and
family issues. Our addiction treatment specialists give individual attention and
evaluation. Once the person is properly evaluated, a treatment plan is developed
which ensures the best possibility of success. The root of the problem is identified
and treated through individual and group sessions.

South Coast Recovery, founded by Dennis Larkin, a former drug addict himself, is a
residential drug rehab center with an extended treatment transitional program. The
program lasts from 30 days to one year, depending on one's progress, and includes 30
people at a time working with 14 staff members. Most get jobs while in the program.
The desire to become sober and the willingness to stop using all mind-altering
chemical substances are the most important - and therefore the first essential steps
on the road to recovery.


We offer affordable drug rehab, alternative sentencing, alcohol rehabilitation and
court liaison assistance. Our drug treatment and alcohol rehab center works!
