News About Drug Addiction Treatment

A Team of Drug Addiction Specialists
CTC is guided by a team of drug addiction treatment professionals with years of training and experience in drug and alcohol rehab. Our drug treatment centers employ the best addiction staff experts who are driven to help clients through their chosen program and to sobriety. Whether it's alcohol or drug rehabilitation, the men and women of CTC are qualified and ready to help you to a sober and healthy life.

CTC in its quest to help those suffering from drug addiction and alcoholism, dedicates its resources to other goals as well. Educating the public about the disease of addiction, treatment, and addiction from the viewpoint of those who have suffered and survived, is an important priority.

Our treatment center has an Outreach Program that extends beyond treating addicts; CTC is in the community carrying a message about the dangers of drugs to younger people, and also speaks to groups about the effectiveness of responsible recovery providers.

CTC is involved with:

• Police Department's D.A.R.E program
• Saddleback College-Internship for pre-graduate addiction counselors
• CTC Counselor Internship on-site training program
• Question and Answer Interviews on Orange County's Public television
• CTC sponsored radio talk show-KORG of Southern California-Comeback Treatment Center's RECOVERY LINE
• Gilbert Elementary School/Santa Ana High/Fullerton College: Drug and Alcohol abuse Seminars

Comeback Treatment Center publishes a Treatment Quarterly Newsletter. Here is an excerpt or two:

TRY LOOKING AT ADDICTION THIS WAY:

• Drug addiction is highly treatable; continued suffering is optional.
• No addict really likes the way he 'has' to be dependent on the drug.
• Temptation to relapse can be 'outgrown' in an honest, character-building environment.
• Personal growth feels better and lasts longer than any drug.
• The hardest part about getting sober and clean is getting started, the rest is reward.
• Nobody ever planned to become an addict, so you don't have to feel too bad about it.
• GOOD NEWS: Recovery is guaranteed when a person decides not to give up.
• The Human Spirit is more powerful than any drug.
