Research and technology has brought
recovery to a reality today. Just leaning how to 'rehab'- cope with a problem in a drug rehab - is not treatment, not even smart recovery or a detox. Typically just rehab, battling an addiction {sex gambling eating disorder drugs alcohol} or a psychological issue {PTSD panic attacks sleepless nights} sometimes means trying to live with "a dis-ease", like cancer. You could be just suffering from the results from an occurrence, whereby your body, mind and even your spirit have been shocked, ...thrown out of balance. These underlying conditions can manifest from a childhood unhealthy living environment, fear, an emotional occurrence, and shame or guilt. After about 6 weeks, excessive drug or alcohol use results in a change in serotonin levels in the brain, and then a dependency occurs, affecting moods, sexual performance, behavior... and as the disclaimers on the bottles read-, ...is often debilitating.
Often as a result of a slight head banging or general life-pressures, individuals get started by self medicating with alcohol or drugs and it becomes a dependency and an addiction. You may struggle with daily stress, panic attacks, pain, cravings,*sexual concerns, unfamiliar limitations, eating-disorders, OCD, fatigue-depression,...or just trying to keep your spirits up. As you review these pages, unlike medication,12-step drug rehab programs or a detox hospital, you will come to see why people are referred to the Crosby Center for accurate diagnosis to find the root cause and holistically regain control of their life again, often without medications.
"It can happen to anyone. I was surrounded by a husband and family that could not stop helping me. Because of the intervention and the Crosby Center,
I'm free from all the wine, my eating disorder, my emotional stress and so happy to be back to my previous self. I can laugh and enjoy my family and friends again" -MK
LIVING WITH PAIN OR ADDICTIONS is a struggle in many ways and painfully shortens your life. To resolve and recover from most disorders, effective treatments for drug or alcohol dependency, PTSD-unconscious fear, Eating Disorders, Compulsive sex, Gambling, Personality Disorders or Heroin /opiate addictions often requires congruent inpatient treatment to get to the real causes, to end the struggles. To actually find the cause, adjustment, stabilization and to set up an effective solution for results involves accurate diagnosis, selective integrated therapies and some form of a personal extended-plan that provides for support (crucial healing period -usually 90-days) to attain sustained recovery.
Addictions, Drugs, alcohol dependency, eating disorders and psychological disorders can simply be structured into a lifestyle via groups, track rehab programs OR clinically addressed and actually treated for stabilization, adjustments and sustained recovery, thereby regaining your 'mind-body-spirit' cohesion-, ...the freedom to think clearly, and experience the real joy and happiness of living life.
Addictions are often formed as a result of attempts to alleviate the symptoms of these conditions. Genetics is also influenced by the physical environment surrounding the individual. Early childhood trauma includes sexual and/or physical abuse, threats-fears, neglect, or abandonment.
Some of the mental illnesses that often accompany addictions are learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, eating disorders, bipolar disorder,* korsakoff-"alcohol" syndrome, insomnia fears, anxiety disorders and panic depressions. The Crosby Center is highly regarded for providing effective treatment for complicated dual diagnosis conditions.
There are many rehab 'track-social' programs that teach coping skills. To cope with a problem is not a fix. At the Crosby Treatment Centers, we accurately diagnose "the causes" and treat conditions that would be beyond the scope and capabilitiesof most other drug rehab or alcohol rehab track programs; Dr. Amen, Dr. Phil, Opra UCLA, John Hopkins, Harvard Medical, AMA stated, "without proper diagnosis and treatments, most addictions and psyc-addiction disorders will painfully continue to control your life". Untreated conditions often lead to legal issues, memory loss, emotional melt downs, suicide ideations, kidney or liver failures.
Because no two people are alike, the Crosby Center with NSI, provides you with accurate diagnosis through multiple tests and
professional assessments. A team of clinicians match individualized treatments to the problem with integrated therapies for effective adjustments and healing. We treat Substance Abuse, Eating Disorders, compulsive Sex-Gambling and various Pysc-addictions with extensive extended-care and follow through the recovery process of each client at no additional cost.
WHAT THEY DO NOT TELL YOU~! "So
many treatment centers claim to qualified to work
with “dual diagnosis”, but often their programs
'medications and groups' lack adequate tests and actually do little to address their client’s issues or their clinicians are not trained in specific therapeutic modalities that are required for complex clients with underlying psychological issues or eating disorders. If rehabs claim to treat dual diagnosis, the NIDA suggests their programs reflect multiple psyc-tests, a high level of clinical sophistication, meaning experienced specialists". JP, MD____
At the Crosby Center, you have a choice of treatment programs
with individual treatments. Alcohol rehab, drug treatments, several integrated dual diagnosis programs and personal individualized psychological programs. Our Doctors, Therapists and Specialists, through corroborated tests and assessments, compassionately "meet you where you are at", emotionally, mentally and physically, especially
in eating-disorders and borderline personality disorders by resolving psychological issues for healing and a lasting recovery. Our patient's successful outcomes speaks for our ever growing referral base and reputation.
FACTS AND STATISTICS: NIDA statistics reveal that just trying drug rehab or alcohol rehab with detox, medications and self-help PROGRAMS is merely trying to live with the problem, with the support of AA or GA and usually results in chronic relapses. Detox can provide some relief, but unless causes are diagnosed and properly treated, the problem reappears. WHAT TO EXPECT: Medications are primarily prescribed to help regulate emotions, reactions and provide some relief. While not being able to measure the full impacts of the medication effects, all too often medication side-effects create a chemical imbalance changing the brain functionality, setting up dependency, while altering sensory perceptions and compromising one's ability to logically manage feelings, emotional-regulation, fears guilt or shame to a point of thoughts of suicide.
DIAGNOSIS: Self medicating, prescriptions, i.e. drugs and alcohol can mask a pain, even quiet an agitating amygdala, giving signals like bipolar, eating disorders, ADD, OCD and insomnia. In time {studies show us} it becomes a dependency or personality disorder, anxiety, depressions or chronic fatigue syndrome, that often leads to a substance abuse or emotional behavioral problems.
AFFECTS: Drug or alcohol dependency changes the brain chemistry. (serotonin and dopamine) setting up cravings, Addictions-, conditions where the brain structure is normal but the functioning becomes abnormal. Left untreated, the continued detox and relapses have debilitating affects both mentally and physically (Korsakoff-syndrome), notwithstanding a difficult family life.
Advanced science has studied and determined how your brain processes sensory input, controls your feelings, beliefs that can result in self-medicating addictions and aberrant behaviors. Today we can literally see and therapeutically-technically adjust {somatoform disassociation and conversion discharge} what 's causing your problem, and with variable integrated treatments adjust, stabilize and set up healing for your sustained recovery.
At the Crosby Center, our advanced technology, doctors and clinical team can identify issues, effectively provide treatments and literally stimulate adjustments, and measure the stabilization, setting up the healing for your recovery.
COMMON CAUSES OF ADDICTIONS !
*A brain malfunction as a result of an injury, drugs or alcohol
*An emotional situation PTSD-trauma, fearful events from the past
*Current conditions you can not cope with, triggers,
somatoforms
*A brain chemical imbalance (serotonin-dopamine) sets-up cravings
*Sleep disorders
At the Crosby Center, we
find that very often the psychological issue occurs first. This
can lead people to self medicate with alcohol or drugs for relief,
setting up a chemical imbalance in the brain. Occasionally, the substance abuse evolves into
dependency as a result of a brain chemical change, you will experience cravings, impulsivity and often behavioral problems.
AMA research studies show us, unlike a common cold or cigarette
nicotine cure,
.. a level-2 addiction with drugs, alcohol, or combined co-occurring psychological issues is more like a cancer. It first becomes controlling-mentally, evokes aberrant behavior, often DUI(s)
and then becomes physically debilitating. It seldom goes
away without proper treatment click * Legal Issues
In drug rehab, Individuals can learn to live with an addiction, trauma or a brain
injury, but the struggles and side-effects usually mentally and physically consume your life and
the life of your family.
As you can see, these are effective treatments and rehab procedures.
All programs include the clinical neurological 19-functional Brain-scan, multiple psychological neurological exams, an intake physical and multiple doctor's reviews and assessments for a full evaluation for accurate diagnosis and holistic treatments.
At The Crosby Center, advanced technology and effective holistic rehab treatments have given patient's their best opportunity to reclaim their lives and achieve sustained recovery.
In typical rehab, with added medications and group talks, you run the risk of 95%-relapse.
As a professional, if you have referred your patient to the Crosby Center for intensive treatments, we encourage your input and engage your assistance with appropriate discharge planning.

You Can Get Your Life Back And Be Happy Again
You do not have to become a victim of "guess diagnosis" and medications, or just drug rehab and still suffer relapses and AA meetings for the rest of your life. Don't be fooled by words of treatment.
" We have had cases where hospitals were treating an alcoholic for a kidney problem when in fact the person had a shrunken hippocampus and his ventricles were swelling from the fluids into his brain causing his uncontrollable behavior".
Diagnosis and individualized treatments are based on integrating advanced technology and therapy. Treatments do not involve the use of drugs or hypnosis.
Cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Patients who have suffered for years from anxiety or distressing memories, nightmares, insomnia, abuse or other traumatic events can now gain relief.
Specialized rehab programs and treatments are a one-one where an experienced doctor therapeutically can change patterns of thinking or behavior that are underlying individual's difficulties, and so change the way they feel.
Multiple therapies are integrated with advanced technology to treat a wide range of issues from sleeping difficulties or relationship problems, to drug and alcohol abuse or anxiety and depression. CBT works by changing an individual's attitude and their behavior by focusing on the thoughts, images, beliefs and attitudes that we hold (our cognitive process) and how this relates to the way we behave, as a way of dealing with emotional problem. Our advanced technology can measure the change of effectiveness. This is also very effective in PTSD and personality disorder treatments.

With new technology, from the primary 19-points in the brain component, our Specialists identify hot areas, and brain functional imbalances that usually are the result from a chemical dependency {drugs-alcohol abuse}, or slight injury ...thus identifying what brain functions are controlling the behavior, and what damage is there as a result of self medicating. Our doctors can literally diagnose how to best treat the causes of psychological disorders and addictions for effective natural recovery.
Unlike a common cold or cigarette nicotine cure, a level-2 (combined, dual-diagnosis addiction from drugs or alcohol with psychological issues) is more like a cancer or diabetes. If you ignore it, it will physically debilitate you creating extreme moods, loss of memory and stressfully consume your life. (see below)
In most cases the decision comes down to "do I want to go to rehab and learn how to live this way with medications" or "do I want 'diagnosis' to find the cause and solution and holistically regain my life"? As you will see, The Crosby Center is unique and you can get well. The treatments and results are beyond the capabilities of most other centers or rehab counselors. You can enjoy your life again!
If you want to know what is causing your conditions and behavior, The Crosby Center provides comprehensive tests, assessments and one-one integrated treatments, identifying and adjusting brain functions and behaviors for actual change and results.
Why do most addicts relapse? No two people are alike. NIDA studies show us that without accurate psyc- diagnosis of the underlying cause and individually integrating cognitive-dialectical and remedial treatments; ...impulsive-emotions, and relapses will continue to control your life. Every time you see 'someone' or 'something' that reminds you of a bad event, PTSD, does not have to mean fear-danger! EMDR and integrated psyc-treatments are effective solutions.
FEELINGS / THINKING / BEHAVIOR: Most drug rehab or alcohol rehab addiction problems are set up by anxiety or 'UNDERLYING ISSUES', self-medicating unresolved psychological issues that have become impulsive triggers. Substance abuse can cause a brain chemical imbalance, the cravings. A drug rehab detox is temporary. When someone says "guarantee or cure" in health or addictions, you should consult your doctor for the reality.
FEELING TRAPPED by Obsessive or Compulsive Habits, sex, gambling, emotional shame or guilt?: We specialize in individualized dual diagnose therapeutic treatments with integrated technical procedures, a truly holistic "fix-it" approach for a lasting recovery.
EATING DISORDERS - Genetics, Occurrences, Temperament and Beliefs: Dr. Shafer; "It takes a TMT (highly skilled team) to work with these issues as a whole and not place clients in “tracks”. I have seen the “non track” approach work very well at this facility due to the fact a TMT develop an individualized resolving psychotherapy approach integrated with *advanced neuro and biofeedback scans- treatments that identify those UNDERLYING ISSUES, thereby allowing specialists to see and know what treatment and adjustments are needed, and it is extremely effective.".-Dr.MS
Programs are very individualized: For example, in this program, we only take 6 clients at a time, all women, and only those suffering from anorexia, bulimia, impulsivity, exercise addiction, self-image or obesity.

Focus Programs And Special Individualized Treatments
At the Crosby Centers, we can accurately diagnose the causes and treat conditions that would be beyond
the capabilities of most other treatment facilities, mental health clinics or traditional rehab centers.
*[In simplification} -, ...research, case studies and experience shows us that with new technology, brain scan-photos, neuro-psychological tests, thorough physicals exams and virtual-reality therapy we can identify and treat basal ganglia conditions associated with anxiety, irritability, PTSD, eating disorders, difficulty sleeping, and anterior cingulated {thought processing difficulties} problems.
These conditions often lead to OCD, feeling emotionally "stuck" and inflexible (anterior cingulated associated with the amygdala 'fight-flight' reactions [emotional impulsivity}PTSD). Compulsive addictions; associated with intense emotions, aggression, and sensitivity to pain results in intense anxiety and self medication with drugs or alcohol. Often the uncontrollable cravings cause doctor shopping for opiates.
Low and High beta (bio-lateral frontal) suggests a cause for difficulty with decision making, learning ability, filtering stimuli, emotion regulation and memory. The percentage of high beta in the occipital sites also suggests STRESS, sleep difficulties and multiple disorders. Panic attacks, acute anxiety, ...i.e. disorders driving your self-medicating.
Results: At the Crosby Center, the ultimate process is to rewire brain's thought processing through remedial cognitive therapy; reframing faulty thoughts, assumptions ("cognitions") and problematic behaviors with the aid of technical Neuro and Biofeedback procedures, integrated dialectical therapies and brain exercises. Neuro processing, brain neurotransmitter-flow with the aid of DBT, EMDR treatments and other individualized procedures can result in your renewed life, usually without multiple prescriptions.
At the renowned Dr. Amen SPECT-clinic, brain imaging research has shown that many chemicals are toxic to brain function. Alcohol, opiates, nicotine, caffeine, and many prescription-medications decrease blood and neurotransmitter activity in the brain. When neurotransmitter and blood flow is decreased, the brain cannot work efficiently. In a similar way, sleep deprivation also decreases brain activity and limits access to learning, memory, setting up fatigue, moods and anxiety.
How the Body Responds to Alcohol
Alcohol acts primarily on the nerve cells within the brain. Alcohol interferes with communication between nerve cells and all other cells, suppressing the activities of excitatory nerve pathways and increasing the activities of inhibitory nerve pathways. For example, the University of Chicago Medical Centers Alcohol and Anesthetic Actions talks about the ability of alcohol (and inhaled anesthetics) to enhance the effects of the neurotransmitter GABA, which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Enhancing an inhibitor would have the effect of making things sluggish, which matches the behavior you see in a drunk person. Glutamine is an excitatory neurotransmitter that alcohol weakens. Alcohol does this by interacting with the receptors on the receiving cells in these pathways.
Although dopamine is a key glutamate, it also plays an important role in a return to the substance of abuse. Brain chemical alterations to the glutamate signaling system lead to compulsive drug use and ultimately a dependency with then effects your vital organs.

Accurate Diagnosis, Specific Individualized Treatments And Procedures For Recovery
*{Psychological-Neurological-Physiological} -sexually- if you have difficulty having or keeping an erection more that 30% of the time, it is considered a problem largely due to an underlying psychological component, anxiety or depression. Occasional difficulty getting or maintaining an erection in many cases is a temporary condition with little treatment, however it can be an ongoing problem that can damage a man's self-esteem and harm his relationship with his partner and thus require treatment. Today, doctors believe that when the problem is not temporary or does not go away on its own, psychological factors are often the cause. One way to know if the cause is physical or psychological is to determine if you are having nighttime erections. Normally, men have 3-5 erections per night, each lasting up to 30 minutes.
WHEN WILLPOWER IS NOT ENOUGH
* {Compulsive-Behaviors} -behavioral health- Alcoholism, addictions and Eating Disorders are predominately referred to as a self-medicating abuse that has become a dependency for remedies that when prolonged have changed the brain chemistry, and unfortunately much like cancer are debilitating and can be fatal if left untreated. Addictions are typically treatable and the progression can be arrested through proper diagnosis, advanced treatments and
specialized rehab programs. The purpose of addiction treatment interventions is to interrupt the progression and implement diagnosis and treatments for adjustment, stabilization, healing and sustained recovery.
