STROKE REHABILITATION A CRUCIAL PART OF RECOVERY AFTER STROKE

‘Recovery is an acceptance that your life is in shambles and you have to change it’- says Jamie Lee Curtis, an American actress, author, and activist.

It is rightly said that giving a new start to your life after despair is in many ways a difficult task.

Likewise, recovering and rebuilding confidence within themselves after having a stroke is a tough, yet an important task for the patients. Here, stroke rehabilitation plays a pivotal role in regaining independence in patients’ lives. As per scientific research, stroke rehabilitation is the promising treatment that aids optimize recovery for an improved outcome.

After a stroke, some of the patients experience some improvement in brain functioning, while most of them experience some neurological deficits after a stroke. Often, stroke survivors possess problems with balancing, thinning of muscles, the stiffness of muscles due to brain damage, etc. While these problems remain at the verge of recovery, stroke rehabilitation offers a safe way to use the functions successfully with the help of an organized exercise plan. Hence,

Editor’s Column

rehabilitation therapy is designed in such a way that it would increase the diďŹƒculty level of exercises with time, giving the stroke survivors a secure feel of improvement.

Various new techniques are introduced in stroke rehabilitation that subsumes mirror therapy, and music therapy. Though most of the development takes place within a short span, the brain may continue to learn and re-learn the old tasks as long as one lives. After completing visits to the rehabilitation center, the patient may ask to continue the exercises given by the physical therapists.

Lastly, rehabilitation is not a cake-walk. It may seem daunting and physically discomforting task.

Basically, scientiďŹ c research studies conclude that a successful and meaningful recovery can only be obtained with the optimism and high-level of the motivation of the participants during the rehabilitation process. It is normal for people to feel exhausted when recovery seems to be at a standstill.

However, in situations where improvement seems sluggish, the whole outcome turns out to be way better in the long-term after rehabilitation therapy.

This way, stroke rehabilitation takes us through the journey from stroke to the complete recovery.

Wings of Freedom to Combat Addiction

Dr. Howard Rusk, the father of rehabilitation, wrote in his autobiography, “...Once a person overcomes a disability through his own courage, determination and hard work, he has a depth of spirit which you and I know little about.. Rehabilitation is a branch of medicine in which the patient has more power than the doctor in setting the limits and possibilities...”

Rehabilitation becomes mandatory when an individual loses his track and falls onto a wrong path and it becomes a tough task to bring him back to the right path. It is a hard situation where the patient must learn to live an addiction free life after completing the treatment. This is when a rehabilitation center comes in as a savior. These are the centers that provide the complete treatment and training to the clients, wherein they are given vocational, occupational, and physical therapy depending up on patient’s needs.

Farnum, Recovery Starts Here.”

”

F

or an issue that has impacted millions of families across the country, the opioid epidemic has been particularly hard on New Hampshire families. In the past this small state has one of the highest rates of opioid overdose deaths in America.

Recently the tide began to turn, and Farnum played a major role in the positive shift.

Farnum, a drug and alcohol treatment and rehabilitation center, stepped up in response to the opioid epidemic and expanded services to meet a growing need. Located in Manchester and Franklin, New Hampshire, Farnum is a well-established and well-known treatment center that offers a wide variety of services for alcohol and substance misuse. Farnum is the largest state treatment provider in New Hampshire.

Farnum’s success is found in its unique approach to treatment. It is the first center in the Northeast to incorporate Health Realization, also known as The 3 Principles. Farnum is making a difference in responding to the disease of addiction by teaching clients that they have everything within themselves to overcome the challenges they face. This program offers an empowering and long-lasting approach for clients of every background.

In the last three years, Farnum added outpatient and inpatient services, enhanced detox, increased capacity, and expanded its locations. To help those in need, Farnum provides financial aid to NH residents who need

treatment. In 2018 alone, Farnum provided $2,907,955 in free and subsidized services to their clients.

Through successful programs and exhaustive efforts, Farnum has made tremendous strides in saving lives while shattering the stigma surrounding addiction.

What makes Farnum Different?

Health realization is a very significant and distinctive approach that Farnum has adopted for treating its clients. The center practices what it preaches; employees are encouraged to nurture their own innate health, resilience, and they attend lectures every month.

Farnum’s Philosophy What is Health Realization?

Farnum integrates the 3 Principles of Mind, Thought, and Consciousness, which is also termed as ‘Health Realization’. This helps to assist the clients in accessing a healthier perspective on life, allowing them to leave their past behind.

Farnum’s Health Realization approach is based on the 3 Principles philosophy founded by Sydney Banks. The center started implementing this approach five years ago by calling the authors of the books that it was using to master the 3 Principles and having them come in to teach the staff this approach. This is a person-centered approach, and it allows people to see that outside events do not create their feelings; it is how they think about the events that create the feeling.

Health Realization explains that

individuals possess a natural state of well-being or innate health that will spontaneously emerge when circular thinking subsides. To elaborate this theory, the center gives an example‘Have you ever driven in the car and out of nowhere, you think of a solution to a problem that’s bothered you all day? That’s your innate wisdom at work! While driving you had a quiet mind; a new thought was available that let you come up with the solution.’

Farnum’s Health Realization approach has been immensely successful. A testimony to this is the ceaseless progress of its clients, who have gained a fresh perspective on life; a life free from addiction. Clients begin their path to recovery at Farnum and learn to access wisdom to help make decisions that come from innate health instead of the external world.

About the Compassionate and Dedicated Leader Dr. Cheryl Wilkie, COO of Farnum, has been in a longtime recovery from alcohol and drugs. Cheryl has supported several clients who came to Farnum in search of recovery. Having faced it all herself, she has compassion for those who are trying to find their innate health.“In my early recovery, I heard people in meetings talking about their lives and mine was the same.

There was a great deal of violence and a lot of craziness happening when I was using drugs and alcohol, and they were sober and sane. So it gave me hope that if they could do it, maybe I could, too,” expressed Wilkie.

That was the turning point of her life.

Thereafter, Wilkie found a path towards recovery and happiness. She geared her experience and dedicated her life to working with others who wanted to discover the inner peace within them without relying on drugs and alcohol. She has a deep and broad personal knowledge of recovery. In addition, she holds a Doctorate in Forensic Psychology along with a

state, municipal, and non-profit health services agencies around the state to ensure clients have access to any and all relevant treatments.

The Journey of Farnum It all started when Wilkie was experiencing a severe trauma due to the fact that she was homeless and had lost everything, including her threeyear-old twins. Then, in 1986, she decided to attend a treatment program located in a hospital setting, for which she considers herself very fortunate.

When she attended the treatment center, the staff treated her with the utmost dignity and respect, which made her sail through the traumatic phase.

When she was asked to take on the position at the Farnum Center, Wilkie wanted to create the same experience through a safe and dignified treatment program; similar to the one she had experienced at the treatment center she attended. When she took the position, Farnum had 32 beds, and no medical detox existed in the State of NH. She watched the clients suffer from withdrawal, and no hospitals were willing to take in those withdrawing from alcohol and drugs, except for the ones with severe medical conditions.

Looking at this situation, she realized that Farnum would have to create a safe medical facility for those in NH

suffering from substance use disorders who were willing to be treated.

Farnum then succeeded in opening the first medical detox in NH and from there, it has expanded to 140 beds, with a continuum of care, meetings for families, and other support.

Assorted Services under One Roof In response to the challenges of the nation’s opioid crisis, Farnum has dramatically expanded its services and treatment available to families throughout New England. The center offers a full range of services to its clients that encompass Detoxification, Inpatient, Partial Hospitalization Programs, Medication Assisted Treatments, Intensive Outpatient, Outpatient, Family Services, Stabilization Unit, and Transitional Living. Recognizing the depth of the grips of this disease, Farnum also provides programs designed to support families and loved ones to ensure that all those involved are getting the help they require/need. Ÿ

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) - It is a level of care offered for clients who require more support than intensive outpatient, but do not meet criteria for inpatient services. By engaging in PHP, clients can continue maintaining their outside

responsibilities while having the support of professionals and peers five days a week. Ÿ

Open Access- It is a walk-in service where clients are assessed by a skilled clinician to determine their program placement. Once the assessment is complete, the recommendation for placement in the appropriate level of care is discussed with the client and together they form a plan. The assessment consultations are on a first come, first serve basis with limited availability.

Ÿ

Medical Detoxification Unit- This unit serves individuals who are of age18 and older, seeking help to safely and medically stop using alcohol and other drugs. The average length of the stay is around six days. Once screened and accepted, a specific medical treatment plan is developed as per the established protocols. Then, each protocol calls for a certain medication to help alleviate the symptoms of withdrawal. The center has a strong relationship with CMC (Catholic Medical Center), which handles the client’s physical issues not generated by the withdrawal from alcohol and other drugs.

in building a sober network. Here, the length of stay can range from 112 months, depending on the client needs.

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) - This service is for the people with opiate use disorders.

Clinic participants are required to meet regularly with a medical doctor or nurse practitioner who specializes in addiction medicine and is specifically trained in the use of Suboxone and other MATs, such as Vivitrol.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) - This provides clients, who do not require a residential or PHP level of care, the opportunity to receive intensive treatment services. These programs allow clients to accomplish their daily responsibilities such as parenting, working, or pursuing educational goals. In the first phase of IOP treatment, clients participate in the educational programs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, for three hours each day, over the course of approximately one month. The program consists of group health realization education, group therapy individual counseling, friend/family education, aftercare planning, and case management.

Transitional Living (TL) - This approach followed by Farnum provides each client with an individualized care plan. It also allows them to take a step forward

The center provides its clients with groceries, guidance on resume building, and interview skills for employment, personal budget strategies, and more. The TL facility is within walking distance from the center and it offers various recovery resources, employment opportunities, and recreational activities. Ÿ

The Stabilization Unit- It is a 16bed, clinically-licensed, short-term residential treatment program.

Ÿ

Outpatient Services- These services are available to clients who are transitioning from a higher level of care, or to those who may need brief services for a specific purpose.

These purposes include license restoration, court-ordered LADC evaluations, or the solution of personal issues.

Ÿ

Inpatient Residential ServicesWith these services, clients learn about their own innate capacity for health, insight, and happiness during their stay.

Realization’ or The 3 Principals’ focused groups, counseling, and other recovery programs & activities. The inpatient facilities provide clients with three nutritious meals a day, prepared by the in-house team of chefs. When its clients aren’t participating in group activities, they enjoy socializing, meditating, gardening, participating in recreational sports, and other fun and productive activities during their free time.

Elevating its Success Ratio Farnum Center takes pride in reporting that through increased access and efficiencies, the outpatient services department could increase the assessments provided to new clients by 13%, over 2,300 in 2018. The prime focus of Farnum from 2013 to 2018 was to increase its capacity to serve individuals in need. In these years, inpatient bed capacity grew from 32 to 140. Two free-standing residential programs, Ray House and Webster Place, were renovated, clinically licensed, and staffed. Both of these programs served approximately 1,400 individuals, respectively.

Farnum Center operates the only freestanding medical detox in the state of New Hampshire. This 27 bed-unit served 1,011 individuals in 2018. It provides dignified, lifesaving support, to those starting the journey of recovery, that has to be monitored during the acute withdrawal period.

“Withdrawal from certain substances, including alcohol, can be lethal. We consider each admission into the Medical Detoxification unit a success,” asserted Wilkie. Further, she adds, “We are invested in our clients. We offer a unique approach to treatment through Health Realization that focuses on the mental aspect of addiction.”

Adopting Ethical Practices Farnum’s Stabilization Unit is an example of ethical excellence.

A year ago, the city of Manchester, NH, was lacking a treatment facility that would help keep the popular Safe Station program alive. Safe Station is a program whereby anyone in need can walk into a Manchester fire station seeking help to overcome substance misuse. Firefighters will offer a quick, non-judgmental assessment within their scope, and then send the individual to receive treatment either at a hospital or other treatment facility.

With Cheryl’s guidance as well as the dedication of Christine Weber and many other staff members, Farnum Center agreed to receive the recipients of Safe Station’s care because it was the right thing to do. Farnum Center had the space, staffing, and a desire to help those in need.

Farnum’s Stabilization Unit is registered as a residential facility, meaning that medical staff is not required. The clients can enter the facility 24/7 and have a warm, safe place to stay while they wait for an assessment for care. “These clients are typically on the unit for a short amount

of time. However, after seeing how sick these people were, it became clear that the ethically right thing to do would be to provide them with medical care and comfort while they start their recovery.

Many of these clients do not have insurance, so, at a considerable cost to Farnum Center, my team and I invested in medical staffing because ethically, this is what was needed. Sometimes, putting people ahead of profits is necessary,” stated Wilkie.

Future Prospects Using its unique Health Realization approach, Farnum helps people realize their inner strength by considering that every human being has a healthy internal core that is fully accessible to them.

For years, Farnum has shown its clients that everyone is innately resilient and has the ability to bounce back and overcome the adversity. Upon asking her about future plans, Wilkie asserted, “We will work to expand access to care, through partnerships with other non-profit providers, hospitals, clinics, and the state of New Hampshire. Our work establishes a balance between those in need, who seek care through Medicaid, along with those who have health care coverage and come to us through different avenues. We offer real help, right now.”

A World-class Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Center Providing High-level Individual Care

Darren Lockie CEO

B

ased on the beautiful island of Koh Chang in the Gulf of Thailand, Dara Thailand is a boutique rehabilitation center that treats clients with substance abuse and mental health issues. The center accepts 30 clients at once and is fully licensed by the Thailand Ministry of Public Health and staffed by International Therapists from around the world.

Dara Thailand provides treatment for most substance abuse, including drugs, alcohol and prescription medication. It also offers a dual diagnosis for co-occurring disorders and works with most mental health conditions as well.

Dynamic Pillars of Dara Dara was started by the two founders, Darren Lockie and Martin Peters.

Today, Darren Lockie is the CEO and runs the business side of Dara while Martin Peters, another helm of Dara, is the Program Director and manages the clinical focus of the center.

26 |April 2019|

Darren has been managing rehabs for the past 10 years. But, prior to that, he worked in a variety of roles for Microsoft in South Asia. The skills and discipline in working for Microsoft highly assisted him in running the business of rehabilitation and marketing for Dara.

Martin started his career as a Registered Nurse and Certified Substance Abuse Therapist working in the mental health field where he worked since 1994. He has also worked in Thailand for the past 14 years developing the clinical and operational side of rehabilitation.

Dara’s Journey While asking what influenced them to start the treatment program, Darren and Martin said, “With Dara, we set to create a world class International treatment program in an inspiring and beautiful location at an affordable price. We always liked the idea of staying small and focusing on the individual and providing a high level

of individual care. To this day, we answer every phone call and inquiry ourselves. It highlights how important customer care and attention is to our vision.”

The center accepts only those clients that want to join Dara, and do not accept clients that are forced by family or the court system. The center considers the client community as a very important part of its success. Dara creates a very optimistic community and environment. Even the most challenging clients understand that Dara professionals are here to help every client on 24*7 which is a very powerful part of Dara’s success.

Distinctiveness at Its Best The clinical program at Dara has a lot of content on relapse prevention which is handled within the group therapy portion and individual therapy. The center strives very hard on discharge planning with each individual, discussing the changes they intend to make when they go home to reduce the

One of the most unique features of Dara is that- Any client that completes a minimum of the 4-week program can visit the center every year for a 1-week complimentary refresher program. With this, the center fetches a lot of good data on what works and the struggles they faced that help them refine the program and content. It also allows clients that have remained sober to sit in front of current clients and share how they made it work for them and how they stayed clean. That is a very powerful part of the center’s alumni program – to show what is possible with commitment.

Dara’s Compliance Requirements and Ethical Procedures To be a legal rehabilitation center for drugs and alcohol in Thailand, one must be approved by the Thailand Ministry of Public Health. This process takes around 18 months and every part of the business is examined to ensure it meets the standards, after which, it is reviewed on a yearly basis. Dara

is fully accredited by the Ministry of Public Health and is going through its CARF accreditation from the USA to maintain its position as the most accredited rehab in Asia.

Upon asking them how they follow ethical guidelines, they said, “We try to be as ethical as we can and that is something that is instilled to every staff member in how they do their jobs and relate to clients. The clients deal with many parts of Dara and every single person needs to understand the boundaries of what is acceptable from clients and how we handle difficult situations or breaches of rules. As an example, we have to be very clear and firm on the rules of Dara. Clients will often push boundaries and we need to handle these situations diligently.”

Excellent Team Work Creating Paramount Upshots One of the effective ways Dara implements is, it tries to understand the exact needs of the client by answering every phone call to make sure that they are the best option for that person.

28 |April 2019|

They often speak to the client’s families as well to get more input on the client’s needs and to assist them flawlessly.

Additionally, the center has sturdy and finest teams, be it the clinical team, nursing team or even personal training and operational staff. The center hires the very best and apt people, trains them in what Dara does along with the responsibilities of the clients and their family.

Dara emboldens consistent feedback from clients to stay in equilibrium with the client’s expectations and goals of coming to the rehabilitation center.

Also, it continually makes improvements in everything, right from food to clinical programs and undergoes review process with the respective teams to stay in sync by making the necessary changes.

Spreading Smiles and Rejuvenating Lives “Every client that walks out of our front gates is a spectacular experience.

We get clients that are really struggling and arrive in very poor physical and mental condition. After going through detox process, getting meaningful clean time, regular therapy to deal with the issues and taking advantage of good nutrition and physical training, some of the transformations are stunning and very rewarding to all of our staff and we take great pride in the work we were able to achieve,” expressed Darren and Martin.

Some of the most memorable experiences, which Dara Rehab always cherishes, are the ones that come back for their free Refresher weeks and have new jobs, new partner or baby on the way, crediting Dara for saving their lives. The center strongly believes that these are the ones that make this challenging business worthwhile.

On asking him about the inception of Livengrin, David shares, “Livengrin was founded by Standish Forde Hansell, who purchased the former private school campus in 1960 with plans to make it a retirement home for men. In 1966, a friend recovering from alcoholic effect alked to him about opening it as a recovery center.”

World-class Recovery Services Livengrin provides men and women with a continuum of care including withdrawal management, short-term residential and partial hospitalization.

It also offers intensive outpatient counseling; general outpatient, family counseling, DUI Education, 12-Step Meetings, free community education seminars, aftercare and alumni services. The organization has also developed support programs to meet the unique needs of first responders, veterans and healthcare professionals.

Livengrin helps individuals recognize the early stages of relapse in which the chances of success are the greatest. The main focus of relapse prevention includes cognitive therapy and mindbody relaxation, which it uses to develop healthy coping skills. Besides these services, Livengrin addresses individual patient needs by assessing life stressors and life experience. It has developed support programs for first responders, health care professionals and emerging adults to complement its core treatment model.

Excellent Co-ordination Bringing Gratified Clients To bring in ultimate customer satisfaction, the organization surveys each patient during their course of treatment. This provides them the opportunity to take the feedback and utilize it for program or process improvement. It also utilizes monthly meetings of directors and managers in

addition to quarterly all staff meetings to increase communication throughout all levels of the organization.

One of the happy patients at Livengrin shares an intriguing experience and says, “I was controlled by drugs and alcohol and I was selfish in everything I did. I would manipulate any situation so that I would reap the benefits or avoid the consequences. My motives and behaviors were always centered on myself and getting what I wanted.

While I was in active addiction my thinking was so distorted and delusional that I began to believe my own lies as facts. My mother confronted me about my drug usage and I couldn’t hide it anymore. She helped me to get into treatment by the next day. I may not have been the most vocal patient while in treatment, but

the one thing that I did was listen. I took the suggestions provided to me. I knew that I had to change everything in my life if I wanted to grow. Although the fear that I felt was nearly crippling at times, I so badly wanted to save my life. I met my sponsor while I was a patient and we got right to work.

Working the 12 steps and applying them into my life on a daily basis has undoubtedly changed me for the best.”

Future Plans Talking about the upcoming plans, David says, “Changes in healthcare laws have made access to treatment easier and resulted in rapid growth in the number of treatment facilities.

Livengrin Foundation will continue to provide quality ethical treatment.”

Healthcare Management

I

n August 2017, parents watched helplessly as more than 60 babies, diagnosed with encephalitis from mosquito bites, died due to lack of oxygen at a hospital in Gorakhpur, UP, because suppliers’ bills of INR 68 lakhs had not been paid.

Such news is made even more tragic when India, in stark contrast, claims to be the lowest cost provider of the highest quality care in the world.

Post such an event, questions get raised and the usual causes get flogged in public: corrupt administrators, low government spend, poor sanitation, incompetent or absent doctors, inadequate supplies, etc. After an appropriate period of ennui, the nation moves on until the next tragedy that is inevitable and imminent.

Gross negligence and such obvious causes, though difficult to digest, are easy to understand. Our real quest, the Holy Grail, should be to eliminate any and all errors that prevent us from delivering the best modern science has to offer and delivering the same to all. Anticipating and correcting or preventing the errors created in healthcare delivery systems is a larger systemic challenge. The healthcare system is characterized by several major factors that are enlisted below.

Many agencies have recommended that the government spend of 1.1% of GDP be increased immediately to at least 2.5% and eventually to 3% of GDP. Each year over 55 million people go bankrupt due to healthcare expenditure, most of which is due to the cost of medicines. Before we get the increased spend we need to be prudent and pragmatic in how we spend rather than how much.

Affordability

If we take a systemic view of healthcare and improved it from first principles with a strong foundation on education, sanitation, primary and preventive care, we could stretch the healthcare spend to reach millions more and lift the nation to a higher global standard that each citizen truly deserves. In order to reduce the complexity, narrow the variability, increase the availability, improve the know-how and complete the gaps in information at the point of care, we need to invest more in digital health tools than increasing beds or doctors. Ayushman Bharat is a welcome program designed to fix the twin challenges of affordability and access to 10 crore families across India.

Information is at a premium when the time is of essence. But it is often the least available when most needed. Latest lab results, adherence to current medication, a detailed symptomatic history, past medical conditions, genetic profiles, latest best practice evidence. Most of the time the healthcare provider is working with less than the full picture.

Knowledge

Complexity

First, there is the science of medicine. There are estimated 10,000-30,000 diseases known to us that affect humans, of which only a few (500-1,000) have a known cure.

There are over 4,000 diagnostic lab tests, over 400 imaging tests and interventions, about 12,000 drugs, approximately 600-1000 procedures. Medical practitioners build up their skills over 60 main specialties and several hundred subspecialties. This knowledge base is constantly updated and modified so fast that even the best practitioners find it very hard to keep up.

Then we have the complexity of the vulnerable and disease-prone human system that is designed to die from the moment it is born. Over 100 billion cells, 78 organs (11 complex large organs) and 12 interdependent systems make the human body - everchanging, continuously monitoring, detecting, and self-healing. The National Institute of Health, USA now estimates that over 400,000 people die unnecessarily each year in the US alone due to medical errors making it the third leading cause of death.

A typical healthcare intervention consists of a 4-day admission into a 400-bed Many-to-many hospital during which stay you get “managed” by over 40 different persons across 175-200 This takes place across multiple specialties, multiple diseases, Interactions multiple encounters. drugs, procedures, and tests. None of these result in absolute guarantees. A reasonable large variance in each encounter can result in the same event being interpreted, acted, and monitored in completely different ways by different persons (the knowledge and competency of and tools available to doctors, nurses, technicians, management, ward boys, pharmacists etc.) Finally, there is the inherent lack of congruence on motivation on the part of the patient (the consumer) and the rest (the payer and the provider). Efficiency vs. effectiveness, today vs. tomorrow, cost vs. profit, need vs. greed, and the strange but compulsive desire by all humans to outsource their mistakes and seek a free ride on someone else’s goodwill.

Availability

36 |April 2019|

Hospitals operate 24/7 but are not fully functional at night or weekends. Patients, on the other hand, need urgent instantaneous care (be it advice, first aid, trauma, or acute pain). Patients often commute for 1-24 hours, wait for 15-45 minutes, only to see a doctor for 2-15 minutes.

What gets measured gets improved. The complexity that arises in healthcare leads to an enormous list of metrics all which claim to improve health care: Beds per 1000, doctors per 1000, cost of an inpatient stay for each procedure, toilets per family, nets in mosquito-friendly regions, lab tests per person, out-of-pocket spend, Healthcare spend as a percent of GDP, infant mortality rates, and maternal mortality rates.

Metrics

The 910 bed Bokaro General Hospital (BGH) run by SAIL has one of the best neonatal care facilities in Asia, but has one of the worst records for neonatal deaths.

Just 10 minutes away is the Sadar Government hospital that had the best record for neonatal deaths: ZERO. The entire result can be attributed to the well-meaning, Good Samaritan intervention of the rickshaws near the government hospital who nightly transfer high-risk women in severe distress to the better facility at BGH. A few get saved, many die as it is too late but the government hospital manages to keep its record intact. What can be counted doesn’t always count, and not everything that counts can be counted.

Last, but not least, we have the environment; viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Add to this diet, sunlight, exercise, nutrition, stress, sleep, road accidents, murders, and natural calamities.

Environment

This vastly-complex intersystem of medicine, the human body and environment is also both dynamic and fast changing. The human body is subject to more stresses, less rest. The environment is more toxic, the air more polluted, the food more artiďŹ cial (with high sugars and high hormones), medicine is more segmented and intrusive. All of this creates the market conditions for supply and demand of healthcare. We are willing to pay for the right to live a little longer. Sanitation, vaccinations, antibiotics, heart surgery, wound management, and healthier diets and environment have helped us raise our life expectancy from 30 to current 78 years.

But this is neither uniform nor guaranteed at an individual level.

Modern healthcare seeks to remedy this through practiced carefully prescribed established best practices that deliver near-zero errors for all aspects of healthcare: preventive, diagnostic, interventional, progressive and palliative.

The System Of Profound KnowledgeÂŽ (SoPK) propagated by W. Edwards Deming lays the foundation for any large complex system in four parts: System, Variation, Knowledge and Motivation.

Healthcare systems have a vast multitude of parameters with a range of possible values that create an inevitable variation of results built into the design, interpretation, intervention, and prognosis.

The organization treats patients at one of its six different treatment locations. Residential locations have six beds each, where clients are tended to at a ratio of two to one. Solution Based Treatment & Detox aims to expand its roots, by treating patients across various regions in the country.

It is aptly said that experience is the best teacher, and the worst experiences teach the best lessons. Similar is the story of Scott Brown, the CEO of the rehab center and how the idea of Solution Based Treatment & Detox

42 |April 2019|

came about. He was influenced to start a treatment center after his own journey to become clean and sober.

Scott was raised around drugs and alcohol before he had the slightest idea of what they were. When he was 12 years old, his home burned down, and he bounced around to different family members. “My home life was not stable, and I began experimenting with drugs and alcohol. By the age of 15, I was on my own and at the age of 20 had already experienced jail. I was in and out of jail and prison for the next 8 years,” Scott expresses.

Ultimately, at 28, he decided to revamp his life and seek treatment. During treatment the owner of the rehab center Scott was in, took a moment to talk with him because Scott was inquisitive on how to save as many lives as he possibly could, and the owner shared with Scott the dedication it took.

“From that moment I started building a treatment center in my head because I knew the feeling of being clean was amazing. I knew, if I could get clean, anybody could, and I wanted everyone to know they deserve the same second chance that I got,” states Scott.

Excellent Team Delivering Diverse Services Solution Based Treatment and Detox offers all levels of care ranging from sub-acute detox to residential treatment and (PHP) partial hospitalization program to (IOP) intensive outpatient program. Each client is assigned a counselor, a therapist, a psychiatrist as needed, and a client care coordinator.

acquiring everyday life skills, including assistance with tasks as simple as paying bills.

The robust treatment team at the center possesses an array of qualities and strengths which allows them to provide hands on and immersed, specialized treatment with each client. Upon asking more about the team, Brown said, “Our 2-to-1 ratio helps clients get the quality care that they need and deserve. I feel like I have a family, not just employees. We are a unified clinical and medical team that truly cares about our clients and their success.”

The center recognizes and abides by all state, Federal, Joint Commission, and IMS (Incidental Medical Services) standards of practice. The center has a multifaceted approach to ensure a multitude of individuals are involved in delivering a compliant and Ethically Operated treatment facility.

Astounding Customer Satisfaction Approach On asking him about the exceptional customer experience, Brown said, “The most spectacular experience is the change and hope in the eyes of each of our clients. A client will come in broken, beaten, discouraged, and

hopeless. After being shown love, compassion, and empathy, something changes; our client’s eyes begin to light up. This change in the client’s eyes is something that cannot be articulated words. We get to witness a first-hand miracle that families have prayed for, such as, ‘Please god, give me my child back,’ or ‘Please lord I just want my wife back.’ This is our team’s most beautiful gift that they receive from working for Solutions Based Treatment and Detox.”

Further, he adds, “I measure success when a client returns to my office a year later with his/her family still clean and sober, and shakes my hand and says thank you. To me, that is true satisfaction.”

At the center, every team member communicates to ensure the patient gets the individualized help they are desperately asking for. Team members are in place and accessible to clients, each having specific skill sets and training to assist in working thought various types of trauma.
