Success rates and physician endorsements. These are the two most important factors addicts and their loved ones should consider when choosing a treatment facility. VistaBay – considered by some to be the best alcohol and drug treatment San Diego, San Francisco and Las Vegas residents can undergo – excels in each of these areas. It offers a 70-percent success rate and has endorsements from noted physicians such as Megan Shields, M.D., who highly recommends the Narconon-based approach VistaBay utilizes. Those seeking the most successful drug and alcohol treatment San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas and the surrounding areas offer need look no further than VistaBay.

August 2010 – Physician Megan Shields does not give endorsements lightly. A graduate of the Medical College of Virginia and a diplomat of the American Board of Family Practice, she presents often on the subject of substance abuse and detoxification. Her recommendation of VistaBay comes with more than 20 years of experience referring patients to the alcohol and drug treatment facility. She has seen firsthand how VistaBay’s Narconon-based program helps addicts regain their sobriety and maintain it long-term. She points to Narconon’s drug-free, sauna detoxification – used at all VistaBay locations, including the drug and alcohol rehab Las Vegas, San Francisco and San Diego area centers – as a key element of the program’s success.

“Unlike many of my contemporaries, I have never believed in using drugs and medications to solve the problems created by drugs and medication,” says Dr. Shields. “It was evident to me that the long-term physical, mental and emotional consequences of drug use had something to do with the residual effects of the drugs themselves. … It wasn’t until I discovered the sauna detoxification program at VistaBay that I knew we had a dynamic, working solution to a terrible problem.”

At VistaBay, students – as they are called – use a combination of dry sauna sessions and nutritional therapy to rid their bodies of drugs and drug residues. These residues can cause physical cravings long after alcohol or drug use, triggering a relapse. Drugs are never used to ease withdrawal symptoms, thus allowing students to graduate from VistaBay alcohol and drug treatment San Diego, San Francisco and Las Vegas area programs truly substance-free.

Students in the Narconon-based program also take a series of life education courses that arm them with the tools and confidence they need to live a life free of addiction.

“The depression, hopelessness and fear I saw in so many patients completely disappeared upon completion of the program,” says Dr. Shields. “My patients were both physically and mentally changed. They no longer felt that they were slaves to the chemicals that had trapped them. They reported a marked increase in mental clarity. Their lives were happier, healthier and more productive.”

At VistaBay drug and alcohol treatment San Francisco, San Diego and Las Vegas area centers, treatment is open-ended. Students are not limited in their length of stay, which allows them to heal at their own pace. The average stay at a VistaBay alcohol and drug treatment San Diego, San Francisco and Las Vegas area center is three to six months.

Students also take part in a long-term follow-up program. Throughout the first year of recovery, VistaBay professionals communicate with graduates and their families to ensure their long-term sobriety. If a graduate sticks to the follow-up plan and relapses within six months, he can return to the Narconon-centric drug and alcohol rehab Las Vegas, San Francisco and San Diego area center for up to 30 days at no charge.

All of these elements contribute to the high success rates and physician endorsements enjoyed by the Narconon-centric drug and alcohol rehab Las Vegas, San Francisco and San Diego area centers.

“In a world where you simply don’t hear much good news regarding alcohol and drug abuse, I am happy to say that the Vista Bay program is very good news. I will continue to recommend it to anyone who suffers from drug and alcohol problems.”
