Dr. Leeds Shows How to Handle Alcohol Cravings with the Sinclair Method

Leave a comment

Dr. Leeds is now providing The Sinclair Method treatment to help people who need helping with alcohol cravings.

Fort Lauderdale, FL – USA | August 13, 2021 — Dr. Leeds is now providing The Sinclair Method treatment to help people who need helping with alcohol cravings. Pharmacological extinction using naltrexone therapy helps patients to cut back on alcohol consumption.

The Sinclair Method uses naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, to help erase the harmful learned behavior of drinking alcohol. If you are wondering how to stop craving wine, beer, vodka, rum, or even tequila, Dr. Leeds can help.

Coping with alcohol cravings is possible with naltrexone treatment combined with controlled drinking. By using The Sinclair Method (TSM) to help reduce intense cravings when exposed to drinking triggers, patients are able to reduce alcohol intake gradually.

Furthermore, the dreaded alcohol deprivation syndrome that often occurs months after quitting cold turkey can be avoided. The Sinclair Method, by using pharmacological extinction with respect to alcohol addiction, is highly effective.

Is it possible to erase a habit from the brain? Would you like to know how to deal with alcohol cravings in a way that will help to curb alcohol cravings for good?

When you drink alcohol to feel better and face certain situations, it is a habit forming behavior. Endorphin reinforcement eventually leads to alcohol dependence and alcoholism. The Sinclair Method works at the level of blocking opioid receptors to progressively remove alcohol cravings and alcohol urges.

Of course, alcohol is not an opioid, so the mechanism of TSM and how it helps to manage alcohol cravings is not obvious. Dr. Sinclair developed this method with inspiration from the work of Nobel Prize winning scientist, Ivan Pavlov.

The way it works is simple. If you are craving alcohol in the evening, You simply take the prescribed medication as directed by Dr. Leeds. After the appropriate amount of time has passed, you engage in controlled drinking.

The naltrexone opiate blocker helps you to control your alcohol drinking, and it helps to extinguish the alcohol habit, bringing you back to a pre-addiction state. The process can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

Many of Dr. Leeds’ patients lose interest in alcohol and stop drinking altogether. They are able to finally beat alcohol cravings and give up their obsession with alcohol.

They are also able to finally lose the compulsion to keep drinking one drink after another. TSM teaches your brain how to resist alcohol cravings by using the unique habit erasing behaviors of the program.

You may have heard of TSM from the well-known TEDx talk given by actress Claudia Christian. Ms. Christian has also produced a documentary on the topic, “One Little Pill.”

While the program is fairly straightforward, there is more to it than simply obtaining a prescription for the medication. Dr. Leeds has many years of experience helping people to overcome addictions and find success in life.

His unique blend of medical treatment and success coaching has helped many people to turn their lives around, finding peace and happiness. Dr. Leeds’ patients are often able to accomplish things that they previously only dreamed of.

If you are interested in learning one of the best ways to reduce alcohol cravings using advanced medication-assisted treatment, please contact Dr. Leeds for more information.

Concierge Addiction Treatment Center In South Florida Expands To Provide Premium Telemedicine Services

Leave a comment

Dr. Leeds is a provider of scientifically proven, evidence-based, concierge addiction services that cater to the professional who is challenged with an active addiction to opioids or alcohol.

Fort Lauderdale, FL – USA | March 31, 2021 — Luxury rehab facilities offer many attractive amenities. Their goal is to bring in clients who want an exclusive addiction treatment experience. They offer fancy dining, well-equipped gyms, cable television, and exotic “treatments,” such as horse therapy and massage.

Unfortunately, luxury rehab rarely works any better than standard rehab. Rehab in general is an outdated way to address opioid and alcohol addictions. Medical science has moved on in recent decades.

Dr. Leeds is a provider of scientifically proven, evidence-based, concierge addiction services that cater to the professional who is challenged with an active addiction to opioids or alcohol. CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, and successfully retired men and women have sought after Dr. Leeds for his deep knowledge of addiction therapy as well as his availability and accessibility.

If you are concerned about seeing a new doctor for the first time, we completely understand. Doctors and their staff can sometimes be intimidating. Many medical practices use a cookie-cutter approach to treating addiction. Dr. Leeds does not work this way.

Dr. Leeds’ patients agree that he listens closely to what they have to say. His medical plans are carefully tailored to the individual needs of each patient. When a patient needs to communicate with Dr. Leeds to ask a question or resolve an issue, he is available at all times.

When you become a patient of Dr. Leeds, you may rest assured that he will be there for you when you need him. He will help you to get started on a successful path to recovery with careful and clear explanations every step of the way.

With proven medical addiction therapy, there is no need to leave your work or your family. You get to recover in your own time, on your own terms. You get to keep your freedom and control of your own life.

Luxury rehabs may reside in fancy buildings or even converted residential estates, with all the comforts of home and more. They offer an array of services, but typically the core of a luxury rehab program is built on the foundation of the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step program.

The ultimate goal of rehab is to get you to accept the AA group meeting way of life, which is fine for some people, but it is not for everyone. Daily group therapy sessions are an essential part of the luxury rehab curriculum. Does this sharing of intimate details of your life with strangers help you to recover from addiction to opioids or alcohol?

Luxury rehab works for some people, but if you are looking for a one-on-one solution with a discreet and private doctor, consider the medical practice of Dr. Mark Leeds. If you are looking for the best in treatment for addiction to either opioids or alcohol, the best solution is to see an experienced VIP addiction doctor. Dr. Leeds provides concierge Suboxone treatment and concierge alcohol treatment, including The Sinclair Method, for people who want to curb alcohol intake or stop drinking altogether.

Before making a commitment to luxury rehab, where they tell you when to wake up and when to go to bed, they take away your laptop and phone, and your ability to work or spend time with your family, consider the concierge addiction therapy alternative.

Consider a private consultation or medical visit with Mark Leeds, D.O. to get started on a scientifically-based medical treatment plan to help you to quit drugs or alcohol and get your life back on track. The best time to get started is right now.

Alcohol rated as top deadly drug, legal or illegal

Leave a comment

A recent study out of Great Britain suggests that alcohol is more deadly than crack cocaine and even heroin.

Scientists in Great Britain devised a system for evaluating the dangers of both legal and illegal drugs. The drugs were rated using a technique called Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) which assess damage according to nine factors with regard to harm to the user and seven factors that indicate harm to others. Factors which were considered for harm to the user were such things as drug-specific or drug related death, damage to personal health, drug dependence and loss of relationships. Criteria considered with regard to harm to others included crime, environmental damage, conflict within families, international damage, economic costs and damage relating to division within communities.

“I think that society, as a whole, doesn’t realize exactly how detrimental alcohol is,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “The attitude within the United States seems to be: ‘if you’re 21, the law says that you are old enough to drink, therefore there can’t be any real harm in drinking in moderation’. But, as this study shows, there are more factors to consider than just those related to personal health. Certainly, health is a major consideration, but personal, family and work relationships rank a close second. Educating young adults on the various ways that alcohol impacts on their lives and the lives of others can go a long way in decreasing alcohol abuse.”

The World Health Organization has estimated that factors related to alcohol and its consumption cause nearly 2.5 million deaths annually due to road accidents, suicides, heart and liver disease as well as cancer. Deaths related to alcohol factors account for 3.8 percent of all deaths worldwide and are the third leading risk factor for disabilities and premature death.

The MCDA technique utilizes a score system based on 100, with 100 being the most harmful drug and zero for drugs that are evaluated to be of no harm. Out of 100, alcohol scored 72 followed by heroin and crack cocaine at 55 and 54, respectively.

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has long been an advocate for alcohol and drug abuse prevention through education, starting at the family and community level. Since its inception, Mountainside has been committed to creating ways that will help individuals to get and to remain sober.

The compassionate, caring treatment team at Mountainside is comprised of licensed and certified counselors and social workers as well as an on-staff Nurse Practitioner and a Registered Nurse, both of whom have specialization and extensive experience in drug addiction and alcohol treatment. For clients who may have psychiatric issues and/or a dual diagnosis, Mountainside provides the services of a Psychiatrist who also has specialization in addictions. As a result of their unique, innovative approaches to addiction treatment over the past 12 years, Mountainside has become the model for the addiction treatment field.

The program, along with its professional addiction treatment team, have earned national recognition and resulted in Mountainside being invited to Washington by the White House to meet with the White House Drug Czar, John P. Waters, for an in-depth meeting on what makes its program so successful. These accolades did not go unnoticed within the addiction treatment field and resulted in the adoption by many throughout the country of a more holistic approach to drug addiction treatment.

Most beneficial form of drug rehab is individualized care

Leave a comment

For many years the course for addiction treatment remained fairly unchanged. The founders of Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center set out to establish a treatment program that incorporated innovative treatment modalities alongside the proven evidence based treatment modalities.

“Our program began by incorporating these new innovative treatment modalities into our treatment program” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “We developed a treatment program that incorporated many new treatment modalities along with the evidence based ones. Instead of viewing every substance abuser the same and prescribing the same course of treatment, we began seeing those same abusers for what they are: individuals. Our program focuses on the uniqueness of each person and, through a series of intake interviews and evaluation by our team of licensed social workers and counselors, we develop an individualized treatment program that addresses the special needs of each individual. We have seen dramatically positive results and our integrated care model™ has won widespread acclaim within the addiction treatment field.”

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has long been an advocate for new approaches to therapy and, since its beginnings, Mountainside has been committed to creating ways that will help individuals to get and to remain sober.

Rural teens show higher incidence of prescription drug abuse

Leave a comment

A recent survey published by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health indicated that teens who live in rural areas are more likely to abuse prescription drugs than their urban counterparts.

In a similar study, researchers for the Archive of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine found the results to be the same.

“These two corroborating studies emphasize the need for more education in rural areas,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “Some schools in rural areas lack the funds necessary for basic day-to-day prevention programs. When a school is faced with tough budgetary concerns, it is difficult to find funding for alcohol and drug prevention education. That’s why it is so vitally important that communities recognize this frightening problem and initiate prevention and education programs about the dangers of the abuse of prescription drugs, alcohol and illegal drugs. Research has shown that community based education programs coupled with parental support, are most effective in helping reduce the need for addiction treatment for adolescents and teens.”

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has long been an advocate for insuring that children are given access to drug abuse prevention at the community level.

Since its beginnings, Mountainside has been committed to creating ways that will help individuals get and remain sober. The compassionate, caring treatment team at Mountainside is comprised of licensed and certified counselors and social workers as well as an on-staff Nurse Practitioner and a Registered Nurse, both of whom have specialization and extensive experience in drug addiction and alcohol treatment.
