Addiction Treatment - Insurance Information

As a private alcohol and drug rehab center, The Recovery Place accepts most major insurance

providers. While we also accept private pay options, utilizing an insurance policy can

greatly minimize the out of pocket expenses, often times covering the complete cost of

treatment at our facility. How do you know if your insurance covers substance abuse treatment?

First, check with your insurance provider. The best way to get information in regards

to your coverage is to call the “800” member benefits number on the back of your

insurance card. Most insurance cards will also have a website listed to answer general

questions about your coverage. We also have trained addiction specialists waiting by the

phone to answer any questions you have regarding our alcohol and drug rehab programs and your

insurance coverage. Grab your insurance policy information, including company and policy

numbers and call us toll-free at (888) 580 - 9759. Our trained addiction specialists

will get the appropriate insurance information from you and contact your insurance provider

directly to see what kind of coverage they will provide. When alcohol and drug addiction

is taking hold of your life, the last thing you need is the overwhelming nature of health

insurance. Let us help you take the first steps toward a happy and healthy lifestyle.

back from your injury

you can either watch the video from start to finish which i recommend for

those of you that are about to undergo surgery

or you can simply use the table of contents to review a specific area of

interest

from you the patient

from me your surgeon and from your team a physical therapist

I'm fortunate to work with a great group of physical therapists

i would like to particularly recognize the efforts of Dirk Kokmeyer and

christy alwine

who head my shoulder rehab team and who worked tirelessly to develop many of the

protocols you will see in this instructional video

Hi I'm Dirk Kokmeyer

and I'm christy alwine

we're physical therapist at the Howard Head Sports Medicine Center in vail

colorado

together Dirk and i head the shoulder rehabilitation team for doctor peter

millet at the steadman hawkins clinic

in collaboration with doctor millet and the steadman hawkins research foundation

we put together a dvd for you the patients to help you further understand

your shoulder rehabilitation program

the purpose of the video is to serve as a reference for the specific exercises

that we give you in your rehabilitation protocol

you should receive a protocol the day after surgery which details week by week

your rehabilitation progression

the protocol also contains exercises that are specific to the to each phase

of rehabilitation

use the dvd to reference these exercises in addition to the exercise in explained

in the protocol

some of the exercises are also applicable to non-surgical shoulder

injuries

again use the information your therapist gives you in your detailed protocol and then

use the video to further supplement the instructions that your therapist

gives to you

you'll also find that the dvd is divided up into sections so that you can just

reference the specific exercises you'll see many exercises

outlining the rehabilitation protocol

if you referenced the the dvd you'll find that you can just scroll through

specific exercises to find the exercise you'd like to reference at that time

you ready to get started with this?

let's get started alright

so now i'm going to go over a few of the instructions for changing your post-op

dressing

when you first come down to therapy

you will probably have a very bulky dressing that was applied during surgery

we'll remove that dressing and apply a water resistant dressing that you can

actually wear in the shower

and i'll teach you right now how to change that

so you'll notice right now the

the wound is basically exposed with steri- strips covering it these steri-strips will

remain intact for approximately ten to fourteen days

we'll use the

going to go ahead and apply a pair of gloves here

we'll use this dressing here this is called a op-site

as we remove the op-site dressing

the instructions are you've remove the paper backing first

there are two tabs on either and that are not sticky so you want to just hold

those to make sure you don't touch the white part

place that over

the wound

and you'll then

gently

smooth over the clear plastic part okay

and then you can remove it says number two on here your remove that outer

layer

and there you have a ddressing that can be you can use that in the shower

and

we recommend that you change the dressing everyone one to two days and what

you want to look for is any drainage coming through if you do see drainage go

ahead and remove

the dressing at that point or if it looks like it's gotten wet or steam bubbles

underneath after shower go ahead and change that as well

we're looking at the wound what we want a also examine for every time we take the

dressing off is any signs of infection those signs include redness around the

incision streaking you might feel warmth around incisions to check for that

any drainage that's maybe not bloody so it's ok if there's a little

bit of blood but nothing that's green yellow in color and if you feel

feverish or are having chills be sure to let someone in doctor millet's office

know as soon as possible

immediately after the surgery it is normal to have increased warmth redness

and bruising around the shoulder

this section of the video is to show you how to apply the sling most patients

will be provided

with a sling just like this this is called an abduction pillow

this is to keep your shoulder off your body and to provide the rotator cuff with

optimal

circulation during the rehabilitation process

alright lindsey let's have your just move your arm

out to the outside without actually

using your muscles

now what your going to do is with the left hand

secure that shut

this portion is the portion that goes around the neck so bring this to the back of

your neck

and you want to apply it to these two clips

you are allowed to use your hand for this portion of applying the sling

ok we'll have you stand up now

and behind you let's have you turn this way

you can grab this portion of the belt

this goes around your waist

turn around to the front

and attaches right here

a sling that fits properly

should have your elbow

off to the side of your body so that we provide the the rotator cuff with optimal

circulation during the healing process

the forearm

should be parallel to the ground

Drug Rehab Treatment and Recovery classes -Get clean and Stay clean

 Philip: “So before I came in here, I’d been struggling with drug use on and off for

the last nine years. I had relapsed and had gotten pretty bad the last year and a half

or so, I was using painkillers on a daily basis for several months. Once that ran out

I started using cocaine, not every day but when I did use it would be for maybe five,

six days at a time; with very little sleep, very little food. I lost about thirty pounds,

I was completely miserable; um I called out of work more often than I went to work. life

just felt completely unmanageable. I knew it was falling apart around me but I was powerless

to do anything about it, just couldn’t stop. I ended up in the hospital twice. My friends

came home one night and found me passed out on the floor, barely breathing. they, they

helped me out until the ambulance got there, I was in the hospital overnight, as soon as

I got out I started sniffing cocaine again at nine o’clock in the morning. I was hopeless

basically. I didn’t know where to turn. I knew that there was some better form of

life out there but I had no idea how I could get back in touch with it. And that’s when

I was fortunate enough to come to The Recovery Place, and in that time I’ve definitely

been shown the path back to a healthy, productive, faith-based life; and I’m just grateful

for this opportunity that I’ve had here. It’s really helped me get back in touch

with God and a manner of living that will not kill me.”

· John: “This is not a program about drugs and alcohol, drugs and alcohol are a symptom

of the disease. The disease lies within each individual person, that’s why we take a

client centered approach. Everybody’s disease is different but there is commonality in regards

to the behaviors manifested from the disease by all of us.”

Philip: “My name is Philip and I’ve been clean for 50 days today.”

Lessons for Healthy Living - Class 1 (excerpt)

The title of this class is: Lions Donít Get Headaches. This is an introductory class that

will help you get an understanding of how your body works. By the time you leave today,

you will know when youíre hungry, what your body is asking for and what will satisfy those

needs. As you probably know, there is a lot of confusion how many of you have ever been

to Barnes & Noble and visited the nutrition or health section? How many books are there?

Hundreds! How many opinions do you think there are? Hundreds and thousands of opinions. By

the time you leave today, you should have a firm understanding of what your body is

asking for and how it works. You will also understand the title of the class, Lions Donít

Get Headaches. How many of you think lions get headaches? We donít know, right?

When weíre making a change, when you make a change in your life, the first thing you

need to do is to learn to listen to your body. You have to learn what your body is saying

and then you have to learn how to respond appropriately. If you donít know what your

body is saying and you donít know how to respond..we know how most of us respond what

do you do when youíre bored? Eat. Itís probably not an appropriate response. You will learn

how to respond appropriately.

The other thing I want to encourage you now that weíre going into a five week series,

is donít feel that you have to make all the changes at once. Everyone in this room is

an adult; youíve been living with yourself a long time. You probably know your personality.

If you donít have a very extreme personality, or a black and white type of personality where

you just do it or you donít do it. then I encourage you to make gradual changes. Donít

think you have to rush into things. Because five weeksí worth of changes is going to

last you only about five weeks. Understand? This is really about lifetime changes or lifestyle

changes. You are much better off taking six months to make changes and staying with those

changes through your entire life than you are rushing into something that you canít

really hold on to. You need to know your own personality. My personality is such that when

I see something that I think is true, I convert overnight. But, not everyone is like that.

I encourage you to make gradual changes if that works best for you.

The first thing you need to learn.for many of you the next couple of minutes will come

as quite a surprise: the first thing you have to do is learn how to feel hungry. Is everyone

here confident that you know what hunger is? What is hunger? Anyone?

Dr. Andrea: You can just say it out loud; we wonít.what do you think hunger is?

Dr. Jeff: You can say it out loud. What is hunger? Now, is anyone here under five years

old? No. Youíve all been eating for a long period of time. Something is driving you to

eat, right? What is that force? When your stomach growls? Thatís right, when your blood

sugar dropsÖanyone else? Youíve all been eating: what drives you to eat? Twelve oíclock,

the time of day? Anyone else? Habit, pizza [laughing]. You see a certain food; pain in

your stomach, smell, mouth waters, advertisements, headaches, cravings, pregnancy[laughing],

what else? What are the other feelings that you get that you associate with hunger? Comfort,

uncomfortable, the shakes, does anyone get weakness or irritability? Anything else?

Let me ask you a question: Do you think when a lion is sitting under a tree in the plains

of Africa that they get the shakes when they get hungry? Or, do they get a headache or

pain in their stomach, get a little moody or a little attitude, or stand in front of

a refrigerator? Mostly this is a manís trait, right? You stand there like this, you look,

you close it, you wait three minutes, you hope something else appears, you open it again,

you say there is nothing else in there and then eventually you either walk away or eat

something youíre not in the mood for.

So, I am going to read a list of the things that I have heard in response to this question.

I have taught a class similar to this for about ten years. This is the list I have compiled

over the years, you will hear some of the things that you included: headache, fatigue,

weakness, moodiness, crankiness, pain in stomach, low blood sugar, dizziness, irritability,

nausea, listless, tired, empty stomach, bored, time of day, habit, cravings, foggy brain,

sick, low energy, acid stomach need something to soothe stomach, and dissatisfied. I have

to tell you: not one single one of those things is hunger!

Those of you who have been following those feelings for thirty, forty, or twenty-five

years or however old you are, youíre following something that is not hunger. Now, if you

came to me (we have a chiropractic practice) and you said, ìDoc, I have this problem.

I feel sick, I feel nauseous, I feel tired all the time, Iím dizzy and I get headaches.î

What would I consider those things? Symptoms! Yet if youíre home and you think itís time

to eat, you consider those things signs of hunger. They are not signs of hunger. They

are signs of sickness.

As a matter of fact, if you want to take note, the least expensive diagnostic test you can

do, you can do it on yourself, it is very safe. All you have to do is to go without

eating for some length of time. For some of you that will be six hours, for some it will

be a day or so depending on. If you get any of these symptoms before you actually get

hungry, there is something wrong with your body.

Basic First Aid & Emergency Medical Treatment : Basic First Aid: The Recovery Position

Hi, my name is Amy, and today we are going to be talking about the recovery position.

Once you have determined that the victim is indeed breathing and they have a pulse, the

safest position for them to be in is on their side that way. If they begin to vomit or aspirate

anything out of their lungs, they are less likely to breathe it in. First thing you want

to do is you are going to roll them away from you. So you want to make sure that the arm

that is on the side furtherest from you is placed above their head gently. That is the

arm that is going to cradle their head. You then bring their leg that is closest to you

up into a kneeling position like so because when you roll them over, this knee is actually

going to catch them from rolling all the way over. Then again, it is always important to

cradle the head, so as you roll them over onto their side, their head is cradled by

their arm, and their knees stop them from rolling all the way over.

Stories of Hope and Recovery: Demi Lovato

Demi: Hello, I'm Demi Lovato.

One of the most exciting things about becoming a young adult

is that you start to have a say in your life.

Where you live, where you work, what you do.

Unfortunately it's hard to feel in control when your life feels out of control.

That's what it felt for me when I was going through my dark period.

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I was hurting myself.

I was anorexic and bulimic, I wasn't doing well.

But it took my parents and my team to pull me aside to

talk to me about getting help.

What I experience may not be exactly what you experience

but for every young adult out there who feels scared or sad

or out of control, who feels like their mental health

diagnosis means that they're unworthy; I want to let you know that you are.

That your life has meaning, you can reach out to someone you trust and

be there for you.

I want you to know that you can overcome and get through anything.

I know where you've been and I know where you're going can be really magical.
