get help from a recovering addict of cocaine and heroin?

Dr. Howard Samuels psyd is known as Doc Hollywood, is said to be a favorite of celebrities because of his unconventional treatment methods at wonderland center. Don't be fooled by these methods when it is really the willingness of the addict to seek help. The more willing the addict of drugs or alcohol, the more able Dr. Samuels is of helping the addict become sober.

While Dr. Samuels has said of famous addicts like lindsay lohan: "Lohan will likely participate in group therapy, individual therapy and 12-step meetings." He follows the treatment plan of group therapy and 12 step amongst his wonderland rehab methods.

In very sharp contrast to Dr. samuels and wonderland rehab, Dr. sober companion is against the 12 step and group methods because of the gross affects of being in the environment of potential enablers. Just being in a room full of drug addicts is very harmful, because you can't think of anything else besides drugs, when you are in that kind of environment. Its the same for alcoholics. They are in the group with only one subject to talk about.

While the addict is in the safe haven, this is not the moment of volatility, but when they leave Wonderland Rehab and are on their own. This is when the sober companion is most important to keeping the addict sober and even more important, is keeping the addict alive. (unless we believe so called experts like Dr. drew pinsky whose own rehab facility has said, wherever you have addicts you have drugs. Dr. Sober Companion feels that rehab centers are different only in the amount of supervision given)

While dr. sober companion does not differentiate between a recovering addict or a person getting high daily, it may be another form of denial on the addicts part to hide their continued dependency.

The difference between the people in the sober business and the different forms of sober coach, sober companion, sober escort, sober driver and personal recovery assistant and whatever else people are calling themselves is that they were and are all addicts of drugs and alcohol or both, that need to constantly be drug tested and watched for relapses of their own.

dr-sober-companion is different. dr. sober companion is made up of licensed doctors who were never drug addicts or alcoholics. Peer pressure or for whatever the reason in life, they were not cursed with the problems of addiction and don't need the supervision that all other sober companions require.

DENIAL

Because of denial, most addicts refuse rehab so that is why a sober companion is of most importance. Its like going to rehab, because you get many of the same benefits, without learning from other addicts on how to become a greater addict.

Another difference of opinion is that Dr. Samuels tries to get the celebrity to feel less important, when he said: "Really getting the individual to have an understanding that it's not about them, that they are not the center of the universe. It's not about "don't you know who I am?"

Why do addicts try different rehab centers besides wonderland?

While Dr. Sober companion feels that an addict can learn very destructive techniques from fellow addicts in the setting of rehab centers, they might not to return for their willingness to become sober, but instead gain new suppliers, learn about new drugs, best pill pushing doctors, and other unsaviory techniques of denial.

Dr. Samuels said of Lindsay Lohan "She's becoming a professional, unfortunately," Samuels said on The Early Show Thursday. "There are many people that we work with at wonderland that go in and out of treatment. We have so many people that have been to all the treatment centers. And that's part of the process. So you can go at them harder because they've already been in so many treatment centers that you can start to identify their arrogance and their entitlement much more."

break the bonds and choose an independent sober companion

if you had enough of the rehab facility when you left or were asked to leave, then break your bonds of addiction to them and try dr. sober companion.

dr. sober companion is not controlled by the rehab facility and does not give kickbacks for continuing to keep people addicted to them.

Is replacemt therapy the immedate cure?

The main ingredient that some rehab centers and sober companions that work with the rehab centers use for an immediate cure for a drug and alcohol addict is to feed them another prescription to replace the original addiction. this is known as the replacement therapy

dr. sober companion, what do you mean: "replace my addiction with another addiction?"

For instance, if you are addicted to drugs and alcohol, there is a technique used called replacement therapy, which simply means replace one addiction with a pharmaceutical replacement, that is every bit as addictive as the original.

Some of these replacement medications are:

• Suboxone
• Naltrexone

The rehab center or sober companion associated with a rehab center and its medical physician will place you on these replacement therapies to control your addiction, ease discomfort from cravings during withdrawal and other psychiatric medications where indicated for treatment of co-occurring disorders.
(They are every bit as addictive as what they are replacing.)

why begin the cycle of addiction again?

This is not really a cure for your addiction, nor is it recommended if you really want to end your addiction to pharmaceuticals, medications, or drugs or even alcohol. The pharmaceutical versions that control your cravings are every bit as strong and works on the same part of your brain as the drugs you became addicted to originally. Its no cure, its just a replacement.

how is dr. sober companion different?

dr. sober companion is not interested in replacing one addiction with another addiction, that may be worse than the original, and much easier to get.

why is dr. sober companion's approach unpredictable?

dr. sober companion uses a different approach that is more realistic to a natural reaction that might cause you to seek your drugs or alcohol, but you don't. Its this real life experience, that dr. sober works on. its the unpredictable life experience that dr. sober companion prepares you for.

The difference between the different forms of sober coach, sober companion, sober escort, sober driver and personal recovery assistant and whatever else people are calling themselves is that they were and are all addicts of drugs and alcohol or both, that need to constantly be drug tested and watched for relapses of their own.

dr-sober-companion is different. dr. sober companion is made up of licensed doctors who were never drug addicts or alcoholics. Peer pressure or for whatever the reason in life, they were not cursed with the problems of addiction and don't need the supervision that all other sober companions require.

The following is actual experts from sober companion websites:

Why do so many drug addicts and alcoholics think they make great sober companions?
Why do so many drug addicts and alcoholics think they make great sober coach?
Why do so many drug addicts and alcoholics think they make great sober escorts?
Why do so many drug addicts and alcoholics think they make great sober drivers?
Why do so many drug addicts and alcoholics think they make great personal recovery assistant and whatever else these people are calling themselves?

But a bigger question is: Why are you choosing them?

Another drug addict and alcoholic went into the business and is calling his brand sober soldiers.

The following is a so called experts from his sober companion website:

Paris Cronin of sober soldiers

"Paris was born in Los Angeles, California and is the son of famed REO Speedwagon lead singer Kevin Cronin. Being raised on the road and exposed to the Rock N’ Roll lifestyle at an early age contributed to his struggle with drug addiction and alcoholism. At the age of 29 Paris grew tired of the way his life was going and finally decided to take control of his future and get sober. Paris began traveling all over the world working with touring bands as a Sober Companion."

The difference between paris cronin is that he is an addict of drugs and alcohol, that need to constantly be drug tested and watched for relapses of his own. (using the teachings of alcoholics anonymous: once you are an alcoholic or drug addict, you are always a drug addict and always a alcoholic)

dr. rob tencer of dr-sober-companion, also grew up in the household of a famous rock n roll group that toured the world, and also had excessive amounts of drugs and alcohol around him, except his family would not allow him to be in the same room when this excessive behavior was going on, and would not allow anyone around him to even swear or cuss around him.

Kevin Cronin failed his son and made him into the drug addict alcoholic that he is today.

dr-sober-companion is different.
dr. sober companion is made up of licensed doctors who were never drug addicts or alcoholics. Peer pressure or for whatever the reason in life, they were not cursed with the problems of addiction and don't need the supervision that all other sober companions require.

The worst fear that the families of my patients have, is that the enablers can get into the lives of their children. At sober soldiers They are letting addicts into the lives of their clients.

The list of addicts with experience as an alcoholic and drug user are endless.

* Is that the kind of 24 hour 7 day a week supervision you want for your son?
* Is that the kind of 24 hour 7 day a week supervision you want for your daughter?
* Is that the kind of 24 hour 7 day a week supervision you want for your loved one?
* Is that the kind of 24 hour 7 day a week supervision you want for your client?


dr. sober companion is unlike the rest, we aren't addicts now and never were.
dr. sober companion is different. dr. sober companion is not an alcoholic and was never an alcoholic.

Michael Jackson agreed to have a Sober Companion right before his death. Was it with dr. sober companion?

Because dr. sober companion respects the request for privacy for his clients, he would not confirm or deny the report to NBC today show reporters, when he was interviewed.

NBC Today show missed the boat with their segment with Dr. Rob Tencer, by instead following a drug addict as he went undercover to a medical doctors office, and deleted all but one sentence of Dr. Rob Tencer's interview. "They told me they had their agenda, and that the work of a sober companion was unimportant to them. They only wanted to know about drug use of celebrities." said Dr. Rob Tencer of dr. sober companion.

was he hired by Jackson family?

Michael Jackson agreed to hire a sober companion before his death, to accompany him on his London tour, reported health care examiner Sheila Guilloton of the examiner on July 20, 2009.

While the examiner mentioned rehab and other forms of replacement therapies, it seemed to veer away from the usefulness of a sober companion.

While most families that are part of the entourages are enabling the drug addict, they are all in denial. Dr. Sober Companion has mentioned this many times before and last discussed denial while mentioning the high functioning drug addict and the high functioning alcoholic.

Dr. Rob Tencer wrote about Ms. Sarah Allen Benton's book: Understanding the High-Functioning Alcoholic: Professional Views and Personal Insights which covers denial very clearly as a main reason for avoiding the help that the addicts really need, to stay alive.

Dr. Sober Companion was featured 7/10/2009 on the #1 morning show in the USA, NBC The Today Show, in a special story called: "Undercover: Prescription meds in Hollywood". The video is available online from NBC entitled: "Undercover: getting drugs in Hollywood". The description of the segment on the NBC site is "Video: TODAY examines how easy it is for people with cash to get drugs."

Sources report that although he continued to deny any drug abuse, he did agree to honor the wishes of his family that he bring a “sober companion” with him for the London tour.

What could a sober companion do to keep michael jackson alive that other methods could not?

This was and is the true bombshell that while it is to late to hire a dr. sober companion for Michael Jackson, it is not to late to hire a dr. sober companion for your son or daughter. Are you in denial?
