Tarzana Treatment Centers in Los Angeles provides telemedicine services to qualified patients in alcohol and drug treatment, mental health treatment, and primary medical care.  After careful research of the technology available, we chose to partner with MDLiveCare in Florida so we could deliver services conveniently and securely at affordable rates.  The technology was a key in making our decision considering what our patients would need in order to use these services.

During our research of available telehealth technologies for video conference sessions, we were happy to discover that most of our services could be delivered through this medium.  Assessments of new patients entering addiction treatment or mental health treatment can be completed before they come to one of our locations.  This allows our staff to better prepare for their arrival, and saves patients critical time in on-site admissions time.  It can also be used for outpatient services for some patients.  We can also see qualified patients in primary medical care from their homes and offices.  

The MDLiveCare technology is browser-based.  This means that patients simply need to open Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, or whatever they use on a daily basis, and log in to their account.  Once logged in, a simple interface makes it easy for them to schedule appointments with Providers, send and read secure messages with them, and view records.  Anyone who browses the internet should be able to use the interfaces we provide, known as MDLiveVisit and TherapyLiveVisit.

Much of the technology used for telehealth video conferencing today would be considered complicated by the everyday computer user.  Some require special software that, putting it simply, directly connects one specific computer with another over long distances.  This adds work for the patient in setting up the software, which may not go well and lead to a need for technical support.  Also, if the program crashes there is no backup means to connect to a session, creating a delay in services.  These are issues that patients do not want to deal with when they need health care.

The MDLiveVisit and TherapyLiveVisit interfaces that are used by Tarzana Treatment Centers require no initial setup on patient computers.  They only need a login ID and temporary password to get started.  Literally within minutes, patients can set an appointment to see one of our health care providers.  And, if the browser they are using happens to crash, they can switch to another to start or resume a session.  All of this simplicity is delivered with the same or better security as those described above.

The LiveVisit application was started using the popular Flash Player to deliver video.  This meant that almost anyone already had the software needed to send and receive video before they used LiveVisit.  To improve services, a switch was made to using the VSee video format in LiveVisit.  The new format uses less bandwidth, meaning that even patients with very slow internet access can send and receive smooth video.  Patients still do not need to install bulky software to use this advanced video format.

We chose to partner with MDLiveCare and use the LiveVisit telehealth applications because the simplicity and security satisfied our high standards in delivering services to patients.  The goal was to make getting treatment easier for patients, with almost no chance that problems will occur.  No special equipment is needed, either, other than an inexpensive webcam since high resolution is not necessary in LiveVisit.

United States National Guard members are more likely to suffer alcohol abuse problems when they have been deployed for combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.  These problems include binge drinking, alcohol dependence, and other alcoholism-related issues.  Alcohol treatment centers must take into account that these individuals may require mental health treatment as well.

While National Guard members face high stress situations at home, it is understandable that those who have been in combat experience stress at even higher levels.  Either seeing combat or being in a support position places an individual in a position where lives are constantly on the line.  When they return from Iraq and Afghanistan, where alcohol is prohibited, some will turn to it as a stress reliever.

Initially, they may claim to simply be “blowing off some steam”, or “decompressing”.  But the mind of individuals at risk for alcohol dependence remembers stress-relieving qualities of alcohol.  This can be considered as the time when an imaginary line is crossed from social drinking to alcoholism.  After all, binge drinking to forget problems is an early sign of alcoholism.

Alcohol abuse among returning National Guard members can thus be considered a sign that emotional problems are going untreated.  When combined with problems in relationships, finances, or legal issues, it is a clear sign that treatment is needed now.  And since these emotional problems may be due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from combat, it is important to include mental health treatment.

This treatment can’t come too early.  The longer PTSD and emotional issues go untreated; alcohol dependence is more likely to make them worse.  Caught early, these individuals can heal from emotional pain and may avoid future problems with alcohol dependence.  They can also avoid the pain of alcohol withdrawal and a trip to a medical detoxification unit.

Tarzana Treatment Centers in Los Angeles provides mental health treatment for co-occurring disorders as part of our commitment to integrated behavioral healthcare in alcohol and drug treatment.  If you or a loved one needs help with alcohol dependence or drug addiction, please call us now at 800-996-1051 or contact us here.

United States National Guard members have been active in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the rest of the US Military.  Personnel have also shown rising trends in substance abuse, mental health disorders, and suicide.  Alcohol and drug treatment must include services for all of the problems suffered by both active personnel and veterans.

Since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began there has been a rise in prescription drug abuse and addiction among military personnel and veterans.  The trend is mainly due to the use of these drugs to treat severe pain due to injury or mental disorders from combat trauma.  The opiates and benzodiazepines used are highly addictive, and can easily be abused in severe circumstances.

Pain due to combat injuries needs to be treated in the short term with pain killers.  In the long term, alternative treatments should be explored to prevent the negative effects that drug addiction can bring to the lives of individuals.  And with combat injuries, physical pain is rarely the only issue that National Guard members suffer.

Mental and emotional trauma can cause many problems for combat and support personnel as well, even if they don’t suffer physical injuries.  Prescription medications like Xanax and Valium may be used to calm anxiety.  These are effective in the initial phases of treatment, but can cause serious long term effects if drug dependence takes hold.

If the underlying mental health issues are not properly treated with help from a psychological professional, individuals will become dependent on prescription drugs as the only solution.  This makes drug treatment very difficult because the underlying fear of suffering takes priority over recovery from drug addiction to them.  So the co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues must both be treated as primary problems in treatment plans.

Tarzana Treatment Centers in Los Angeles is well equipped and staffed to treat all physical and emotional problems that National Guard members may suffer.  We provide mental health treatment as part of our commitment to integrated behavioral healthcare in alcohol and drug treatment.  If you or a loved one suffers from drug addiction or alcohol dependence, please call us now at 800-996-1051 or contact us here.

Tragedy always brings sorrow, no doubt.  In the aftermath, though, we can take lessons from those working to prevent tragedies from repeating.  Efforts to support victims of the Ft. Hood shootings on November 5, 2009, are generating valuable lessons for those in need of mental health treatment and alcohol and drug treatment, and their loved ones.  Seek help.

Those who suffer from mental health disorders, alcohol dependence, or drug addiction generally do not ask for help at the first sign of problems.  They may also suffer co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders.  In any of these cases it is likely that problems will mount before they ask loved ones for help, if ever.  It is fair to say they are simply incapable of seeking help until it is too late.

To individuals who don’t have a problem with alcohol, drugs or their mental health, this may seem odd.  When a problem can’t be solved individually, it is easy to ask someone for help.  So if an individual in need of help is incapable of asking for it, others will generally not offer it because in polite society that may be rude.

Mental health and addiction professionals continually seek ways to get early help to individuals in need.  A simple suggestion to the public is in the excerpt below from an article on the Behavioral Healthcare website.  "Look to your left, look to your right and look within and basically determine who needs help."  This is true for veterans and the general public alike.

Fort Hood, TX — Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, III Corps and Fort Hood commanding general, announced the formulation by post leaders and health experts of a behavioral health campaign plan addressing the psychological and emotional needs of the community during a special live broadcast Monday night.

"Frankly, I believe as tragic as this incident may be, there could be some goodness that comes from this," he said, "and that is, in fact, that we could establish a baseline for our real mental health needs here at Fort Hood."

"First and foremost, seek help if you need it," Cone said. "If you're suffering from the effects of this incident you need to come forward and let us help you with it.

"Look to your left, look to your right and look within and basically determine who needs help," he added. "We've got the resources here right now. We've had a huge surge in the number of behavioral health providers that are available and we can accommodate the number of folks we think will come forward."

Drug addiction affects the lives of US veterans the same as anyone else, but at a higher percentage.  And the amount of veterans with these problems who are incarcerated is staggering.  It doesn’t need to be this way.  If treatment instead of incarceration would be implemented, these veterans would get the help we owe them, and society would benefit from lower crime and an ease on resources.

It needs to be repeated over and over.  Treatment instead of incarceration has been proven effective in rehabilitating non-violent drug offenders, and it saves money for the states where it is implemented.  And treatment for the incarcerated also needs to be provided.  Drug treatment helps addicts to stop using the drugs that lead them to commit crimes, where incarceration simply locks them away for a while before they return to drug use.    

Treatment should come first for veterans no matter where they live in the United States, considering that we send them into harm’s way, and then give them drugs to overcome the physical and emotional pain of combat.  It’s the least we could do for them when they come home.  But, for now, those convicted of non-violent drug offenses are simply locked away.

Veterans who receive drug treatment upon returning home from Iraq or Afghanistan would have a better chance to resume a normal life, and to get the benefits they were promised during recruitment.  Drug-free veterans would also be much less likely to commit crimes and more likely to focus on living a positive life.  We need to give them the chance to do so.

Drug treatment will also lower health care costs provided to veterans.  Drug abuse and addiction often leads to injuries, and there is a multitude of side effects and major organ damage that results from them.  Not only are these ailments a burden to veterans, but they are a substantial drain on the US Veterans Administration budget.

The Drug Policy Alliance has released a report that details the need for treatment instead of incarceration for veterans suffering from drug addiction as well as for those with mental health disorders.  It also makes a strong case for medication assisted treatment.  The excerpt below shows the latest statistics on incarcerated veterans.

Veterans in Prison, as of 2004*

• 140,000 veterans were incarcerated in state and federal prisons.
• 46 percent of veterans in federal prison were incarcerated for drug law violations.
• 15 percent of veterans in state prison were incarcerated for drug law violations, including
• 5.6 percent for simple possession.
• More than 25 percent of veterans in prison were intoxicated at the time of their arrest.
• 61 percent of incarcerated veterans met the DSM-IV criteria for substance dependence or abuse.
• More than half of veterans in federal (64 percent) and state prisons (54 percent) served during wartime.
• 26 percent of veterans in federal prison and 20 percent in state prison served in combat.
• 38 percent of veterans in state prison received less than an honorable discharge, which may disqualify them for VA benefits.

Most US Veterans return to normal lives after combat, and suffer few, if any, physical or emotional scars of war.  But a small and growing percentage return with mental health issues, alcoholism, and drug addictions that lead them into criminal behavior.  So the US Veterans Administration is taking action.

The goal is to get treatment for veterans rather than incarceration, or in exchange for reduced time incarcerated.  It is similar to successful programs like Prop 36 in California, the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000.  Alcohol and drug treatment and mental health treatment for veterans who commit crimes seeks a solution to the problem.  Incarceration without rehabilitation only invites repeat offenses.

Programs for treatment instead of incarceration are not only highly effective and save lives, but they also save money.  This is because incarceration cost savings are only the beginning.  Health care costs decrease, as well as personal losses from accidents, crime, and injury.

Tarzana Treatment Centers in Los Angeles provides alcohol and drug treatment for veterans as part of our commitment to integrated behavioral healthcare.  We also include HIV/AIDS services, women’s services, and mental health treatment for those with co-occurring disorders.  For more information, call us at 800-996-1051 or contact us here.

The following is from an article posted on The Washington Post website.

A July 15 Army report said more study is needed to determine whether there is a link between the soldiers' alleged crimes and their heavy combat duty and lengthy deployments.

The VA is training 145 specialists at its hospitals nationwide to help veterans who are in jails, awaiting trial or serving misdemeanor sentences. Other VA programs target homelessness and help veterans readjust after serving prison terms for serious crimes.

To date, more than 1.9 million U.S. service members have gone to Iraq and Afghanistan, the largest deployment since 3.4 million were sent to Southeast Asia in support of the Vietnam War.
James McGuire, the Los Angeles-based director of the VA's incarcerated veterans outreach programs, said some war veterans "are obviously struggling."

"The VA is very attuned to this and received an education about all this after Vietnam, when the whole issue of PTSD came up," he said, using the abbreviation for post-traumatic stress disorder.

In a typical case, VA specialists would report to a civilian court on an accused veteran's medical history -- and available VA benefits or programs that might help. Prosecutors and judges would decide whether and how to use that information when deciding if a veteran should undergo treatment instead of incarceration.

A disproportionate number of homeless people in the United States are military veterans.  The majority of homeless veterans suffer from mental illness, alcohol dependence and drug addiction, or co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders.  And while treatment is available for them, the symptoms of their disease can keep them on the streets for life.

Some veterans simply don’t know about the availability of treatment, or think going to several specialists would be a hassle.  They know they have problems and need help.  They only need someone to gently lead them to quality integrated behavioral healthcare, and they can again be at ease.

The brain works against many of these individuals.  Alcohol’s effects on the body, drugs and mental illness can cause paranoia and hallucinations.  Fears that seem baseless to those not afflicted are profound to the homeless veteran.  Some are saved when caring people lead them to quality care where they can get help for all of their disorders.

Tarzana Treatment Centers can provide all of the services that homeless veterans need.  We include alcohol and drug treatment, mental health treatment, primary medical care, housing, and HIV/AIDS treatment services in our integrated behavioral healthcare program.  The ability to receive treatment from one source helps ease the mind and offers hope to homeless veterans.

For more information please call 800-996-1051, or contact us here.

The following is important information for homeless veterans.  More can be found at the US Veterans Administration (VA) Homeless website.  Relatives of homeless veterans may be able to help by printing this and giving it to loved ones.  Some may even want to keep a copy with them and give it to the next homeless veteran they meet.

VA offers a wide array of special programs and initiatives specifically designed to help homeless veterans live as self-sufficiently and independently as possible.  In fact, VA is the only Federal agency that provides substantial hands-on assistance directly to homeless persons. Although limited to veterans and their dependents, VA's major homeless-specific programs constitute the largest integrated network of homeless treatment and assistance services in the country.

VA's specialized homeless veterans treatment programs have grown and developed since they were first authorized in 1987. The programs strive to offer a continuum of services that include:

• aggressive outreach to those veterans living on streets and in shelters who otherwise would not seek assistance; 
• clinical assessment and referral to needed medical treatment for physical and psychiatric disorders, including substance abuse; 
• long-term sheltered transitional assistance, case management, and rehabilitation; 
• employment assistance and linkage with available income supports; and 
• supported permanent housing.

US veteran women suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) along with alcohol dependence or drug addiction need specialized treatment to resume their lives back home.  The trauma they suffered may have produced trust issues.  So in order to successfully treat these co-occurring disorders, care must be taken by the alcohol and drug treatment center.

Studies show that among all PTSD sufferers alcohol and drug abuse is a problem with the majority of them.  Alcohol and drug treatment centers that provide mental health treatment through integrated behavioral healthcare have the resources to treat both problems simultaneously.  But women veterans who were subject to Military Sexual Trauma (MST) may need one more critical component to their treatment.

Women-only alcohol, drug, and mental health treatment is critical in these cases.  While there is no shortage of women-only homes for trauma sufferers, few offer all services under one roof.  It can be wearing on an individual in treatment to move between providers for different types of care.  So the ideal is to enter treatment with a provider that can offer women-only integrated behavioral healthcare.

Tarzana Treatment Centers can provide alcohol and drug treatment to US veteran women in a women-only setting when it is needed.  Our mental health professionals provide treatment as part of our commitment to integrated behavioral healthcare.  This allows for seamless communication between mental health and addiction professionals, and can offer a comfortable setting for women to regain the trust and confidence necessary to resume normal lives.

The International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies provides a great deal of information for individuals suffering from PTSD and MST.  A few points about these disorders follow as they relate to alcohol and drug abuse and addiction.

-- Begin external content --

Traumatized people are more likely than others of similar background to abuse alcohol both before and after being diagnosed with PTSD. For example:

• One-quarter to three-quarters of people who have survived abusive or violent traumatic experiences report problematic alcohol use
• One-tenth to one-third of people who survive accident-, illness-, or disaster-related trauma report problematic alcohol use, especially if troubled by persistent health problems or pain
• Up to 80% of Vietnam veterans seeking PTSD treatment have alcohol use disorders
• Veterans over the age of 65 with PTSD are at increased risk for attempted suicide if they experience problematic alcohol use or depression
• Women exposed to traumatic life events show an increased risk for an alcohol use disorder
• Men and women reporting sexual abuse have higher rates of alcohol and drug use disorders than other men and women.
• Compared to adolescents who have not been sexually assaulted, adolescent sexual assault victims are 4.5 times more likely to experience alcohol abuse or dependence, 4 times more likely to experience marijuana abuse or dependence, and 9 times more likely to experience hard drug abuse or dependence.
• Adolescents with PTSD are 4 times more likely than adolescents without PTSD to experience alcohol abuse or dependence, 6 times more likely to experience marijuana abuse or dependence, and 9 times more likely to experience hard drug abuse or dependence.

US veterans with HIV/AIDS need to take special care when it comes to alcohol or drug abuse.  Their health can be seriously affected if they binge drink or use illegal drugs.  Alcohol or drug treatment should be a consideration for these individuals even in mild substance abuse cases.

Due to the high level of care that HIV/AIDS requires, alcohol and drug treatment needs to come from a provider with the resources to do both.  Also, mental health treatment must be available to those who need it since the patient may suffer trauma due to combat and HIV/AIDS.  Very few alcohol and drug treatment centers offer this type of integrated behavioral healthcare.

Tarzana Treatment Centers is well known for providing the highest standard of treatment for HIV/AIDS as part of our goal to offer integrated behavioral healthcare.  Our alcohol and drug treatment programs staff mental health professionals as well as HIV/AIDS Specialists.  Your recovery begins the moment you enter alcohol or drug detox.

Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, or any other deployment, may want to read an article published by The US Department of Veterans Affairs.  A preview has been provided below from the VA website.

Drinking too much alcohol can weaken your immune system. A weaker immune system will have a harder time fighting off common infections (such as a cold), as well as AIDS-related infections. A weaker immune system also increases the chance that you will experience more side effects from your HIV medications.

Smoking marijuana (pot) or any other drug irritates the lungs. You may be more likely to get serious lung infections, such as pneumonia.

Other common recreational drugs, such as cocaine or crystal methamphetamine (also known as "meth" or "speed" or "crank" and "Tina"), can leave your body dehydrated and exhausted, as well as lead to skin irritation. All of these things can make it easier for you to get infections.

The organ in your body that alcohol and other drugs affect most is your liver. The liver rounds up waste from chemicals that you put in your body. Those chemicals include recreational drugs as well as prescription drugs, such as your HIV medications. A weaker liver means less efficient "housekeeping" and, probably, a weaker you.
