Florida Detox

Hello!

I know that I have mentioned before that there is a great medical detox facility in New Port Richey Florida called Novus Medical Detox and this is one of the best facilities that I know of.

So I am a counselor there - what of it... That means that I know firsthand why it would comprise such a good facility. Here are my reasons:

1. The difference between our facility is the level of care that goes into what we do, I mean that in a normal rehab or Detox you are considered all the same and all patients take the same meds at the same time and if you need something else stiff shit - Well, that is NOT how we operate, if a patient is nervous or anxious we will always do whatever we can to help him - That I promise you.

2. We use drugs in getting the patients off the drugs but the unique part is that we use quite a lot of holistic methods and ways to help the patients while they are here and we have major success with this. Many patients want to purchase the same natural products that we have available to them when they leave to ensure that when they are back at home they feel as good and as relaxed as they did at Novus.

3. The atmosphere is very relaxed and serene, there are no wake up times and you really get to conduct your day the way that you want to. I do sometimes tease people that I will wake them up at 7am with a bugle but i have yet to actually follow through. :)

4. As I am a counselor there I would have to say that we have good counsellor's :)... But in all honesty I am completely being honest when i say that. Look, I grew up in Los Angeles and have not been living with my parents since I was about 9 years of age. I did this on my own and it was in no way because my parents were nasty or in any way mean - I wanted to get street smarts so that I could relate to anyone that I talked to and understand where they were coming from. In being around the bums of LA I actually learned quite a lot, Since then I went to school and actually was able to work for some of the elite in Los Angeles so I have the taste of the full spectrum, No matter where you are coming from.

Having said that, My entire goal when I am working with someone at Novus would be to get them to look at the situations in their life that they have gotten into with the drugs or Alcohol and see what we could do to handle these. It is great and I will tell you honestly that when someone makes a life changing move and is very happy about and sheds a tear, THEN and only Then are my most true and genuinely happy moments on earths coil as that is what I live for and breathe for. And that is truly why I work at Novus.

Later - Monty
