Treat addiction the right way at Mindful Rejuvenation
L
ocated in Oceanside, Mindful Rejuvenation is a drug and alcohol recovery center that provides its attendees with accredited and licensed medical recovery professionals to treat their addiction. They believe in offering patient-centric and customized recovery treatments to patients seeking rehabilitation. This center is unique in that it offers a “dual diagnosis” which helps clients work on the “why” they have suffered in their mental health status and coped with it by abusing substances or other unhealthy addictive behaviors. “We use mindfulness in order to engage our clients in the moment,” says CEO / owner Jacqueline Ortega. “So often, adults get stuck in the everyday move and groove that we forget to care for our mind and body. We take the time to engage our clients in their current feeling and topics that are not usually discussed in the everyday life. We use an individualized approach to meet our clients where they are at.” Some of the services they offer include treatment for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), individual or family therapy, relapse prevention, and of course, mindfulness. Being mindful of your addiction will instill the right combination of customized outpatient, dual diagnosis, and substance abuse recovery treatments that are based on what you need. “All treatments will
consist of the same elements such as therapy to engage clients socially,” Ortega explains. “Individual therapy to discuss personal issues that need more attention, and case management to organize and assist in any life needs or resource of our own.” Mindful Rejuvenation believes in tailoring their treatment according to the patient and their needs. According to their official website, they provide professional disciplines which include licensed professionals, psychiatrists, life coaches, Pilates instructors, yoga instructors, nutritionists, and occupational therapists. “We can provide a customized treatment plan for individuals looking for a more effective and lasting solution. We treat the whole you. Not just your symptoms, but the underlying causes of your addiction as well.” Success largely depends on the client. Ortega says that for some, success was achieving sobriety. For others, “success was achieving a career after leaving us and that was achieved in the armed forces. Another client achieved success by overcoming anxiety to finish flight school. For other clients it was either rekindling relationships or having the ability to no longer react to past traumas.” For more information, visit www.mindfulrejuvenationinc.com or visit their center located at 717 Pier View Way in Oceanside, CA, or give them a call at (760) 994-8846. They take most PPO and offer in-network rates as cash options.

North County ups its fitness game
C
rossFit Counterculture is bringing CrossFit to North County with the intent of showing people a world of better fitness. CrossFit is a physical exercise philosophy that incorporates elements such as high-intensity interval training, Olympic weightlifting, calisthenics, and other exercises. It was founded by Greg Glassman back in 2001 and has since been used by gym goers for conditioning, improving health and weight loss in over 15,000 facilities worldwide. Included in this gym is the “Master’s program,” which is for people 55+ years old, and is specifically designed for mobility, flexibility, joint strength, mechanics, nutrition, overall
strength, and endurance. According to their website, the p r o g r a m ’s goal is to provide HUTCHINSON “assistance and modifications to any movement or workout to help provide a safe and comfortable space for our older members.” The master’s membership costs $125 a month. Additionally, they offer yoga, nutrition courses, a kid’s program, personal training and more. Tony Hutchinson, instructor, explains how he first discovered CrossFit, “I saw an Optometrist who was recovering from back surgery. He got into Cross-
Fit and said it helped him a lot. He told about this event called “CrossFit Open” which starts the last week of February and goes through March. You get ranked worldwide based on your performance. I enrolled when I was 60 and ended 77th in the world for my age group.” Tony said he has been fighting cancer since the first wave of Covid back in January of 2020. Between the chemo treatments and Covid, he was out of commission for a while, “I was going through chemotherapy treatments that were delayed because of Covid, so I restarted my fitness to get back into shape when I just turned 68 a couple weeks ago.” Since then, he’s been fighting to get back into

THEY ARE MOST COMMONLY • Extreme fatigue • Body aches • Lack of taste and a sense of smell • Lack of wellbeing • Lack of mental focus, brain fog
have a commonality, that their amelioration is best served from a holistic and whole perspective, such as optimizing our immune systems and addressing the underlying factors that affected us before the pandemic.
For many of us those are simple things such as reduction of stress, eating a whole diet, and finding time to do the things we love, whether that is going to the gym or just
shape. He knows that CrossFit can be intimidating to many and wants to ensure a safe atmosphere and coaching environment to get seniors more active, no matter what their starting point. Gym client Ryan Alex comments on his first meeting with Tony, and the amount of dedication he had, “Most of the time I couldn’t keep up, it didn’t matter if it was strength or aerobic. It didn’t matter that I was decades younger. . . I couldn’t keep up with him.” Zia Rohrbaugh, owner of the North County gym, comments, “I have made it my life goal to help people, and Tony is someone who has made me proud.
