Are you making a resolution for the New Year? Why wait for and limit yourself to January 1st?

Health issues do not place themselves on hold until a certain date, and neither should you. If you don’t take care of yourself, your health will deteriorate in time. Even when you are in good physical and mental condition, it won’t last forever if you smoke, drink to excess, or don’t eat enough healthy foods. And if you have a need for medical care, or mental or behavioral treatment, your condition will get worse with every day that you wait.

Tarzana Treatment Centers provides Integrated Care services for most of your health needs. Many of our patients come to us for help when problems have resulted from their conditions, especially when the problem is mental health or addiction related. These problems can be avoided with proper preventive care, like the ones we provide for these conditions as well as for medical care. Most of these services are also covered by public funding programs like Medicare, Medi-Cal, and Healthy Way LA.

It’s a fun game we play every December. We promise that, at the start of the New Year, we’ll stop smoking, quit drinking, exercise regularly, eat healthier, or something else that will benefit our individual health. Most of us also break that promise by January 3rd. There are many studies and tips that can be found by Googling “New year’s resolution study”, but our best suggestion is to just make that resolution and get started right now.

The date doesn’t matter, and January 1st is probably the most pressure-filled of the year. So make a December 27th resolution or even an April 12th resolution if you want. The calendar doesn’t care about your good health. The time to improve your current health and future well-being is now. You can form a habit in just seven days. So get started, and Tarzana Treatment Centers will be happy to help you along the way.
