Drug Treatment For Nicotine Addiction


Serenity Vista Addiction Facility of Panama Leads the Way for Smoking Cessation to Finally be Treated Like Other Drug Addictions

Smoking tobacco is the deadliest of all addictions, yet designated smoking areas are still the norm at most addiction treatment centers around the world. Serenity Vista in Boquete, Panama, is taking the bold step of breaking this tradition, announcing today that it is taking the often unpopular position of deciding to treat the use of nicotine the same as other drug addictions.

Nicotine addiction is drug addiction. Period. If a person is smoking tobacco products, they are in active drug addiction. Abstinent, twelve step based, holistic residential addiction treatment is well known to give people who want it a great start at a new clean and sober life. The philosophy of Serenity Vista that differs from traditional treatment centers is that if nicotine is part of the equation, abstinence must also include being tobacco free.

Recent studies support this approach. According to Derry, "continued use of nicotine during and after the treatment process fuels the ongoing cycle of addiction and diminishes likelihood of treatment success. Yet for deep rooted emotional and cultural reasons, and resistance to change, this is rarely put into practice, and the reception Sally experienced prior to contacting us is sadly still the norm in the addiction treatment field".

Serenity Vista is boldly leading the way, and is prepared to go to any length to help those that are serious about full recovery from their addictions. Even if that means going against convention, and risk loosing potential clients.

"We'd rather facilitate the full, long term recovery of a few people to achieve a full and rewarding life free of all addictions, than have a lot of people come through the doors and leave still addicted to smoking which is highly toxic and deadly". Sadly, larger corporate treatment centers, driven by profit and economies of scale hold on to what is more popular, not necessarily what is in the best interest of those they purport to serve.

Rationalization - Let Me Explain. Clearing away the wreckage

In Focus Today…‎ > ‎

“Let Me Explain…”

posted by Focus On Today

Here’s a challenge. Listen for the words, “Let me explain…”. Whose mouth do you hear them from first? Your own?

I was working with a person today, discussing accountability. She asked, “What does rationalizing mean?”  A long forgotten ‘slogan’ came immediately to mind, so I’ll share it here too, as the slogan of the day.

The definition of rationalization: providing a socially acceptable reason for a socially unacceptable behaviour.



Learn the skills to be accountable for your own behaviour, without excuses. It is impossible to clear away the wreckage of your own rationalizing and justifying using your own rationalizing and justifying. Get the help you need to find clarity, peace of mind and harmony.

Let It Be - Discernment from the Universe

Let It Be

posted 12 minutes ago by Focus On Today

Like for a lot of people, this past two years has definitely been a bit of an endurance test. The shaken world economy also came into our home, and the recession became a reality. It has manifested in, when not appropriately treated spiritually, a lot of clouded vision, tightness of heart, and fear. It is finally Spring though, and it feels impossible to miss the tremendous and vast promise of the Universe as it unfolds in the slender shoot of the daffodils and the cheerful treble of returning songbirds. As I mentioned above, when treated spiritually, hard times are easy, but being human means, for me, usually being human and looking for human answers to solve apparent problems. I think that if I just think hard enough, or worry more, or twist the apparent problem over and over and over in my mind, that I shall be clever enough to come up with the grand solution. When I realize I'm doing this, again, I turn it over to the Universe, and ask for help. This past week, I specially asked for clear discernment as to God's will for me. What should I 'do'? And, as the Universe is unfailing, I got a personalized response that was impossible to miss. I had a fairly rare visit with my 15 year-old nephew, Anthony; we live in different cities. I was at his home, and he offered to perform his latest piano recital piece for me. With great deliberation and elocution, the familiar, but not often heard, The Beatles" song, Let It Be resounded through the living room. Anthony's beautiful instrumental version was accompanied with the words in my head, Let it be, let it be, let it be, ya, let it be, there will be an answer, let it be. All goose-pimply at hearing my message from the Universe, delivered through the experience of Anthony's joyous playing, I thanked my Higher Power for this unusual clarity. Apparently the Universe wanted to make sure I really got the message. Two days later I was audience to Dr Wayne Dyer speaking in Vernon, BC. This was the first time I had heard Dr Dyer live, but I was not surprised that his daughter Sky had accompanied him. She often joins his presentations and sings a cappella during the show. Halfway through the presentation, Dr Dyer turned the stage over to Sky, and she filled the arena with the familiar and more often now heard, you guessed it, Let It Be. The goose-pimples doubled, and I was overwhelmed with the love and assurance of the Universe that I didn't have to do anything. Dr Dyer said it very eloquently later in his lecture, speaking to me for the Universe, "Jane, you don't have to do anything, you just need to be done. Let it be." Nothing I have done has coaxed the songbirds to return or the first green buds to appear. No amount of mental gymnastics and agonizing over scenarios will resolve my 'problems'. The Universe has got it all worked out if I can relax and let it be. All the action to be taken will be intuitively obvious. And thanks be to God. (As I type these last words, gorgeous Red-tail Hawk - The Messenger, soars by my window like a wink from the Universe.) Jane Derry is a skilled and intuitive counsellor.
