We’ve faced our truth. More than four decades of helping people with addictions has driven home one cold, brutally real fact: You cannot force someone to change. You can force compliance, but change comes from within. Compliance may be easier to achieve than change, but it doesn’t last. Now, face up to yours. One other fact we’re absolutely sure of is that you are capable of change. No matter how tight a hold addiction has on you. You may not believe it yet, but if you’re here, reading this, we’re convinced we can help you face the truth of your life, and to move forward. The same is true if someone you love or are caring for is struggling with addition. Mirror offers change-based help that can change everything.
YOU’RE NOT ALONE. BUT YOU ARE UNIQUE. Everyone is different, so we tailor a program to meet the multiple needs of each individual in order to maximize the chances of success. We look at every obstacle that could stand between the person and their freedom from addiction – including legal situations, medical realities, transportation needs, childcare, and more. Mirror works to give the people the tools, the understanding, and the power to make positive choices through a cognitive based approach. OUR PERSONAL APPROACH At Mirror, the person who joins a treatment program is the person who’ll determine which behaviors to address. We help to create a program that offers the greatest opportunity for success, through skill development that focuses on strengths and provides the tools for change. Whether you are working one-on-one with a counselor, attending group sessions or discussing your goals with a support group, you will find the Mirror approach results in positive change.
WHERE WE’RE COMING FROM Mirror was founded in 1972 on the belief that people can and do change. Including you.
We’re a not-for-profit, private corporation providing behavioral healthcare, prevention and wellness, and correctional re-entry services. As a major provider in Kansas, we offer a comprehensive continuum of services and programs for people looking for help. Our mission is to make a difference for more people, families and communities through comprehensive, integrated health and wellness approaches. We’re committed to empowering people to be the best version of themselves and promoting safe, healthy people in strong communities.
ADDICTION, IN CLINICAL TERMS
At Mirror, we define addiction as a chronic disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences. It is also characterized by a high potential for relapse. Because of the structural changes that occur in the brain and affect functioning, addiction is considered a disease. These changes can be long lasting and lead to harmful behaviors. If left untreated, consequences of addiction can last a lifetime and can result in death due to the effects of use on other organ systems within the body. Just like many other chronic diseases, addiction can be successfully managed. Mirror’s approach is designed to help you succeed in counteracting addiction’s powerful, disruptive effects on the brain and behavior – and help you regain control of your life. To accomplish that, services are tailored specifically to meet the needs of each individual. Emphasis is placed on using cognitive, behavioral and other research-based approaches.
Our mission is to make a difference for more people, families and communities
STARTING YOUR RECOVERY
MEDICAL DETOX: GENERALLY 3-5 DAYS
etox by itself is not a cure for an addiction. Detoxification from D drugs and alcohol is aimed at managing withdrawal symptoms and acute intoxication. It involves cleansing toxins from a patient’s body who has been dependent upon substances.
Proper nutrition and exercise are encouraged as the person is able to participate There are three main areas of focus during drug or alcohol detox:
EVALUATION:
valuation involves testing for substances in the addicted person’s E system. Our 12-panel drug screens include tests for alcohol, marijuana (including THC isolates, wax, hash and edible products), amphetamines (including methamphetamine, Ritalin, Ecstasy, MDMA and Molly), buprenorphine (Suboxone and Subutex), benzodiazepines (including Ativan, Valium, Xanax, and others), cocaine (including crack cocaine), opiates (including heroin, oxycodone, Vicodin, Percocet, fentanyl, morphine, methadone, and others), phencyclidine (including ketamine and PCP), and barbiturates (including amobarbital, phenobarbital and others). Further testing starts when a registered nurse does a nursing assessment and the patient’s vital signs to determine whether a patient is ready for detox at our facility. The individual’s health and substance abuse history are reviewed, along with allergies, current medications, or any other factors that may affect his or her health. A licensed therapist will screen for mental and physical health disorders that affect an individual’s overall well-being. A behavioral health assessment gives us a clear look at the person’s background and needs for treatment, considering 12 different psychosocial factors. This aids us in developing an effective treatment plan for long-term sobriety. The evaluation also includes a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and physical examination by a qualified psychiatrist or mental health nurse practitioner.
STABILIZATION:
Sometimes individuals detoxing from substances can have severe symptoms while withdrawing, especially during a detox from benzodiazepines, alcohol or opiates. At our facility, vital signs are checked regularly and patients are examined by a registered nurse on a daily basis. Board-certified addiction specialists follow up with the recovering person regularly also. Often, medications are prescribed to treat symptoms such as nausea, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, depression, headaches, fatigue and irritability.
FOSTERING TREATMENT ENTRY:
This important step prepares an individual to enter a treatment program. Proper nutrition and exercise are encouraged as the person is able to participate, with help from our team, which includes a Certified Personal Trainer and registered nurses. In preparation to complete detox, clients will participate in group counseling and individual therapy sessions. A treatment plan is created with a clear set of goals to accomplish in order to graduate the treatment program.
Sometimes individuals detoxing from substances can have severe symptoms while withdrawing
Why are we non-12-step? We’d like to state at the outset that this does not mean that we are Anti-AA. (See “An Open Letter to Our Friends at AA.”) We believe in anything that works, and we believe that individuals should have a variety of choices from which to choose. Since 1995, here at Assisted Recovery, we have seen our approach work even when the 12step approach had previously failed.
Most people are already familiar with AA’s primarily spiritual program of recovery (turning your will and your life over to a Higher Power). AA offers many social support resources, in the form of self-help group meetings that are available nearly everywhere… plus dances, pot-luck suppers, retreats and conventions where members can meet other sober people. AA also offers some limited psychological tools, mostly in the form of simple slogans such as “One Day at a Time,” which are easy to understand and remember.
Finally EvidenceBased Treatment for Opiates that will empower you to quit using and make positive changes in your life. As a recognized leader in the non-12-Step recovery movement, Assisted Recovery’s founder and Director Lloyd Vacovsky was interviewed for the Penn and Teller Show on the Showtime Cable TV network. The episode about AA, entitled “12 Stepping”, which began airing in September 2004. In this episode, Penn and Teller were particularly critical of AA, and of government-mandated attendance to what is essentially a religious program. (Note: Suggested only for mature audiences and those who are not offended by foul language.)
Assisted Recovery is a leader in providing state of the art treatment for opiate dependence. ARCA addresses the biological, psychological and social components of the recovery process. This program fully integrates medications with psychosocial support. This type of integrated program is an example of the Pennsylvania Model of Recovery. The model is so named in recognition of the work of the University of Pennsylvania and in particular Dr. Joseph Volpicelli, MD, PhD (author of Recovery Options) Assisted Recovery is a fully licensed behavioral health agency, Arizona BH 2620. We recognize that most individuals whom become dependent upon drugs and or alcohol have core psychological issues which they self-medicate for. Stopping drug use does not stop the cravings and the thought processes that lead an individual to relapse. ARCA provides effective individual and group cognitive behavioral therapy. Suboxone® protocols offer opiate dependent individuals a safe, effective and reasonable path to abstinance and recovery. Treatment is provided in an Out Patient professional setting. With Suboxone®, we can safely and effectively detox an individual from opiate dependence comfortably in an Out Patient environment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is provided and is an integral component of the Assisted Recovery Pennsylvania Model program. It fully meets the counseling requirement that is mandated by the Food & Drug Administration for individuals taking Suboxone®. ARCA recognizes the anxiety and depression associated with detoxing from opiates. Further that benzodiazapine’s are not an appropriate response. ARCA utilizes ondansetron as a safe and effective alternative to a benzodiazapine. As soon as a client is detoxed, ARCA strongly reccomends the use of Vivitrol(r) which is injectible naltrexone. Vivitrol(r) blocks the ability to use any type of opiate for 30 days. Vivitrol(r) is an escential tool that clearly is often the differance between success and failure. ARCA works closely with Vivitrol’s manufacturer Alkermes Pharmaceuticals to facilitate the delivery of Vivitrol(r) to the client. Vivitrol(r) provides the assurance that an individual cannot use an opiate for 30 days. The Assisted Recovery Program fully integrates medications with psychosocial support. This type of integrated program is an example of the Pennsylvania Model of Recovery. The model is so named in recognition of the work of the University of Pennsylvania and in particular Dr. Joseph Volpicelli, MD, PhD (author of Recovery Options) The Psychological component is addressed primarily with the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as developed by Dr. Albert Ellis, PhD of the Albert Ellis Institute of New York City.

One unifying name with one common goal: Welcome to Memorial Regional Health.
The History of Memorial Regional Health How we came to be who we are today The original Memorial Hospital on Tucker Street, built in 1949. This site is now home to the current MRH Medical Clinic.
In 1946, a group of concerned Craig citizens banded together in an effort to build a local hospital through fundraising and a Hill-Burton grant. They were successful and The Memorial Hospital on Tucker Street was dedicated in November, 1949. In 1952, the hospital was deeded to the citizens of Moffat County, making it a county-owned hospital. Through the years, the facility was added to in square footage as well as services. It became apparent that the facility was no longer workable as a hospital. The idea of building a new hospital was put up to vote with Moffat County residents in 2007. They voted in support of the hospital, and a new hospital was built at 750 Hospital Loop and was dedicated November 9, 2009. The “old” hospital became the current Memorial Regional Health Medical Clinic housing hospital-employed physicians, physician assistants and traveling specialists. A plan is in place to build a new medical office building, as the original hospital is showing its age and doesn’t accommodate modern medical practices of the Clinic team. The hope is to start building in 2018. The old hospital was a solid foundation for what the health system has become today.

About
Us
Sterling Health Solutions, Inc. (SHS) is a 501c3
non-profit corporation that was formed in 2009 by a group of individuals with over 30 years combined experience in the local health care industry. Due to the poor health status of the region, the corporation was formed for the purpose of applying for a New Access Point Community Health Center (CHC) to increase access to medical, dental and mental health care in Bath, Menifee, Montgomery and Nicholas counties in Appalachian Eastern Kentucky. The CHC project was funded as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in June 2012.
Each of the counties in the SHS service area has an underserved federal designation (MUA or MUP). Because the counties are all underserved and have high rates of chronic diseases (especially heart disease, diabetes, and asthma), our target population is the entire service area. Our service area also includes a large number of persons living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. While lack of health insurance was once a serious problem, we continue to work diligently to sign up as many area people as possible for health insurance. We continue to work closely with our local Public Health Departments, including contracting with them to perform clinical services for the Title X program and breast and cervical cancer screening. This health center organization is a Health Center Program grantee under 42 U.S.C. 254b, and a FTCA deemed Public Health Service employee under 42 U.S.C. 233(g)-(n).

Cedar Recovery’s mission is to provide our community with the highest quality care for those with chemical dependency.

We deliver multiple behavioral services to our patients including group meetings, counseling and help connecting them with employment opportunities and teaching job interview skills. Cedar Recovery believes chemical dependence is a treatable disease and that by embracing the values of several evidence-based philosophies, we can help individuals with addiction issues reach recovery.

We maintain a safe environment that is free from judgment, discrimination, harassment, and dishonesty. Cedar Recovery believes addiction is a chronic disease, which must be treated holistically through the mind, body, and spirit. We believe addiction treatment must address all aspects of a recovering person’s life. We recognize that medication assisted therapy is crucial in the first stages of a lifelong path of sobriety and recovery. In the process of recovery, relapse may occur and we treat this as an opportunity to enhance our relationship and deepen our commitment to keep our patients clean. The entire staff of Cedar Recovery is committed to providing ongoing support, encouragement, and compassionate care to our patients in their battle against addiction. Once a person of addiction reaches clarity of mind and body, the difference in their life can be seen as they stop “surviving” and begin “thriving”!

What is Buprenorphine and how does it work? Buprenorphine (Zubsolv, Bunavail, Subutex, Suboxone) has been approved for the treatment of opiate dependency and substance use disorder. Buprenorphine has the ability to both activate and block opiate receptors. Naloxone is added to certain formulations as an abuse deterrent. How does Buprenorphine combat opiate addiction? Opiates attach to receptors in the brain causing euphoria through dopamine release.Similarly, buprenorphine attaches to those same receptors occupied by opiates absent of euphoria or symptoms of withdrawal. How long will I be in treatment? There is not a specified timeframe for treatment. Outpatient treatment for opiate dependency and addiction is based on an individual treatment plan which identifies the severity of one’s disease and establishes recovery goals. The medication treats the physical aspects of the disease. Full recovery requires treatment of the emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of the disease which is obtained through counseling and social services, as well as established support systems.
Full recovery requires treatment of the emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of the disease
Do I have to stop working to enter treatment? No. We offer extended hours with our providers and services to accommodate work schedules. What are the side effects? Mild side effects that may occur are flushing, headache, nausea, sleeplessness, or drowsiness, but have been reported to subside after the first week or so of treatment. This is not a complete list of all potential side effects. If you have questions about side effects, our providers will further discuss your concerns with you. Is Medication Assisted Treatment replacing one drug for another? No. Buprenorphine is not an opiate substitute and does not provide feelings of getting ‘high’ or extreme euphoria. It is a safe and effective medication for treating opiate dependency and substance use disorder. Research has identified that patients undergoing Buprenorphine treatment do not suffer the same social and behavioral destabilization that correlates in active drug addicts and abusers. Does insurance cover treatment? We currently accept the following insurance providers from Virginia Medicaid: • Aetna Better Health of Virginia • Anthem HealthKeepers Plus • INTotal Health (Inova Health Plan) • Optima Family Care (Sentara) • VA Premier from Health Plan, Inc.
Genesis Analgesia Center, PLLC offers a unique combination of traditional interventional pain medicine treatments along with holistic complementary services. Procedures are performed by David Newman, M.D., a board certified anesthesiologist, in an office based procedure suite to provide quality, convenience, and a tremendous cost savings for our patients compared to hospital or surgery center based practice. No longer will patients have to pay both a facility fee to a hospital or surgical center and then an additional physician’s fee. How we are different
Narcotic addiction, diversion, deaths and over prescribing are rampant problems today. We encourage patients to become as informed as possible. Please check the ProPublica Journalism in the Public Interest web site where you can look up the prescribing history of any medical provider in Tennesse. We envision Genesis Analgesia Center, PLLC as a unique facility in the Knoxville area. Pain, as we know, affects also aspects of life. To effectively relieve pain and suffering requires a caring multidisciplinary approach. Our specialization includes interventional pain management plus an emphasis on medical, nonnarcotic, medication management. We believe in the value of complementary therapies such as massage therapy, physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, yoga, meditation, acupuncture, chiropractic, and other mind-body wellness approaches. We diagnose and design treatment plans that are individualized. Successful outcomes require the active participation of both the patient in the medical staff. We listen to our patients, discuss what our goals are and then we decide together the best path to achieve them. We are strong proponents of quality, evidence-based medicine. This allows us to draw on the experiences and results of our peers. Unfortunately, there are severe limitations due to many poorly designed studies and an unwillingness to appreciate the importance of non-quantifiable nature of the human spirit.
We are strong proponents of quality, evidencebased medicine
Despite the fact that one person dies every 19 minutes in the United States due to prescription narcotic overdose, pill mills abound in Tennessee. Genesis Analgesia Center is not registered with the state of Tennessee as a pain management center. Tennessee defines pain management centers as a practice where 51% of patients are prescribed greater than 90 day supply of narcotics. This is the antithesis of our philosophy. Dr. Newman’s preference and the choice that he has made in his career, is to focus on a lower volume, more personal practice model. We are combining this with an office-based procedure suite to provide quality, convenience, and a tremendous cost savings for our patients compared to hospital or surgery center based practice.

My passion is meeting my clients where they are in life, and helping them move towards the direction and path they desire. I believe that when individuals have to information and resources they need, maneuvering through life’s challenges becomes more manageable.

Discover a real, dedicated, effective pain management clinic at Allpria Healthcare
Saving Lives. Changing Lives. If you’ve been frustrated by treatments that don’t relieve your pain, you should take a closer look at Allpria Healthcare. Our pain management doctors have multiple board certifications, including one of the very few pain doctors in Colorado who is triple board-certified in anesthesiology, pain medicine and addiction/ substance abuse medicine. We are one of only a few pain treatment practices in Denver that perform a specialized procedure known as dorsal root ganglion (DRG) spinal stimulation. Fewer than 10% of pain medicine doctors nationwide are trained in this procedure.
We use the most advanced, evidencebased interventional pain management procedures, including injection therapies, nerve blocks, implantable pain devices, neuromodulation, spinal cord stimulator devices and alternatives to opioid medications. Our doctors deliver integrative pain medicine with a heightened awareness of the issues around addiction, particularly opioid addiction. We are totally dedicated to saving people of all ages and walks of life from the ravages of pain. In the process, we hope to change many more lives for the better.

When Your Doctor Cares Enough to Help You Overcome Addiction
Have you ever wished you had a doctor who really understood your addiction? Have you tried AA-based addiction programs without success? Most addiction treatment programs are AAbased and spiritual in nature. They are also less than effective for most participants. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Addiction, over 90 percent of U.S. treatment programs currently offer group counseling and referral to AA, but no access to medications or evidencebased behavioral treatments. Almost all residential treatment programs in the United States are based either partially or entirely on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Is there any scientific evidence to support AA as a clinical treatment? Should addiction treatment centers make enormous profits by simply funneling substance abusers into the free fellowship of AA? These questions are addressed in The Business of Recovery - a 2015 documentary film. Like many documentaries, it offers some startling statistics - including this provocative one delivered early in the 81-minute film:
Leading specialists in prescription opioid addiction treatments
It’s extremely rare to find a physician who is boardcertified in addiction medicine and substance abuse. Our medical director, Christopher J. Frandrup, MD, understands that addiction is a medical problem, not a willpower problem. He has successfully helped patients in 86 countries around the world who became addicted to opioid painkillers during military service and many other people with substance addictions. We specialize in prescription opioid dependence and treating the underlying cause. We address both psychological pain and physical pain using evidence-based treatments that include injection therapies, pain pumps, opioid alternatives and advanced pain blockers.
Our doctors recognize that opioid dependence is a chronic disease
“I became the Director of the Alcoholism Treatment Unit at Harvard’s McLean Hospital. I’ve probably treated a couple of thousand people who have one addiction or another. Almost all residential treatment programs in the United States are 12-Step based, so their effectiveness will depend entirely on whether 12-Step programs work and the statistics for AA are not good. It is helpful for 5-10% and that’s a good thing. That’s 5-10% of people who are being helped by A.A. - it’s a lot better than zero percent - but it shouldn’t be thought of as the standard of treatment because it fails for most people -for the vast majority of people.” ~ Lance Dodes, MD - Addiction Expert & Author - Harvard Medical School Graduate, The Business of Recovery
As our patient, you will have ongoing conversations with your doctor as you progress through treatment. In our experience, too many addiction specialists avoid helping you deal with mental health issues that may be feeding your addiction. Too many addiction patients receive fragmented care, not to mention the inconvenience of being bounced from one program or specialist to another without relief. Simply put, we want to change that so you get all the care and compassion you need to return to a healthy, fulfilling life.
Effective solutions for opioid dependence
Physical addiction to prescription painkillers affects far too many people in the United States. It has reached epidemic proportions in recent years as millions of Americans became addicted to common prescription painkillers such as oxycodone, hydrocodone and fentanyl. You might know them by their better-known brand names like OxyContin®, Vicodin® and Percocet®. Heroin is also an opioid. Our doctors recognize that opioid dependence is a chronic disease that can affect anyone, including a friend, coworker, spouse, child, sibling or parent. People struggling with opioid dependence are often reluctant to seek help due to the social stigma of “drug dependence” or the notion that they simply lack self-control or willpower, which is completely false.
Our Mission
We strive to replace “standard of care” with “excellence of care”, utilizing an integration of traditional, holistic, nutraceutical, complementary and osteopathic philosophies and therapies provided by a physician, nurses, and staff who love their God, their patients and their work. We continually study and learn to appreciate the need for unconditional love and the body’s inherent ability to heal.
