Let's face it: Nowadays, we're constantly connected to our smartphones. And when they're not in our hands, they're rarely far away. But when we're so focused on our screens, we miss out on the experiences that make life great. How do you encourage yourself to put your phone down?

Studies suggest that seasonal affective disorder (SAD) affects about 10 million people in the United States. SAD symptoms are most common during the autumn and winter. Experts have identified harsh weather, shorter days, and diminished socialization as potential risk factors for SAD. As we continue to implement safety precautions to protect ourselves from COVID-19, it's important to also be aware of the signs and symptoms of SAD. http://ow.ly/4kcG102zu8O

February 17 (that's today!) is Random Acts of Kindness Day. During particularly difficult times, please don't forget that even seemingly minor acts of kindness make a tremendous positive difference. Each day contains myriad opportunities to brighten someone's life. Today is a wonderful day to identify how we can add more kindness to our lives. Here are some great ways to get started: http://ow.ly/Hi3O102zt1a

During the holidays, you were focused on giving, but as you begin a new year, it's a great time to self-reflect. Take a minute to repeat positive affirmations that remind you that you deserve love and compassion just as much as everyone else.

Putting everyone else first is an act of compassion, but it can also prevent you from meeting your own needs. Make your mental and physical well-being a priority this year.

Halloween is an opportunity for people of all ages to celebrate together. But if you're working to remain in recovery, this holiday can be frightening for a very personal reason. You are well aware of the risks associated with celebratory gatherings, but you don't want to isolate yourself. Thankfully, it's possible to have a happy Halloween without jeopardizing your recovery. If you follow a few important pieces of advice, you can have a ghoulishly good time without using substances. http://ow.ly/4gBP102qEUd

It's ADHD Awareness Month! Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a mental health disorder that can cause significant distress. Unfortunately, even though the American Psychiatric Association and other reputable organizations have definitively established the legitimacy of ADHD, misinformed beliefs and incorrect information continue to add difficulties to the lives of the millions of people who have this disorder. We encourage all of you to join the effort to promote increased ADHD awareness. The NIH website is a perfect place to learn more about ADHD: http://ow.ly/8QoS50C5nYh

October typically ends with a celebration of candy, costumes, and creativity. This year, though, the global COVID-19 crisis has complicated matters. With Halloween just days away, many families and communities are still struggling to identify ways that they can celebrate safely. It's still possible to have an enjoyable holiday. However, as we've done so often throughout 2020, we have to make a few changes. Click here to learn more about how you can have a fun but safe Halloween: http://ow.ly/MXUu102qr38

On the last day of #TreatmentWeek, we celebrate all our colleagues, employees, and friends who help in the fight against addiction. Thank you for all that you do! http://ow.ly/3HEE50C1ZeQ

Our founder Gene Duffy was passionate about helping others find freedom from addiction. More than 50 years later, his legacy lives on, and our team operates Duffy's with the same passion, commitment, and focus. Duffy's has helped thousands of individuals achieve long-term recovery, and we would consider it a privilege to be able to help you.

We make an effort to add a hopeful or motivational message to our first post of the week. We do this because we appreciate what a significant challenge it can be to feel inspired and energized on Mondays. For the many people who have ADHD, though, the fight to remain focused and driven isn't limited to one part of one day. In a recent Psych Central article, two ADHD experts described a few fundamental strategies that can yield significant benefits: http://ow.ly/5BUF102pNyI

Yesterday was the start of OCD Awareness Week, which runs through October 17. Studies indicate that more than 2 million adults in the U.S. are currently living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Signs and symptoms of this mental health concern occur most frequently among older adolescents and adults, but children can also be affected. OCD is not an uncommon disorder, yet many people continue to believe myths and false information. Working together, we can create a more understanding and compassionate world for all who have OCD.

Today is the final day of Mental Illness Awareness Week. It is also World Mental Health Day. The focus of the 2020 edition of WMHD is to promote increased investment in mental health. The most forward-thinking investment we can make for ourselves and our families is to give mental health the attention it deserves. Take the time to educate yourself about how to recognize potential warning signs, and please do not hesitate to seek assistance when necessary. Today and every day, devote some attention to self-care, vigilance, and support for your loved ones. Learn more from the World Health Organization here: http://ow.ly/1GfF102oYPB

Self-care is an indispensable component of a healthy lifestyle. But your efforts to improve your quality of life must also include monitoring your mental health. Education and awareness play a vital role in this endeavor. Today is National Depression Screening Day. If you think you may have developed depression, or if you are worried about one of your loved ones, a screening can be a key source of information.

When someone is struggling with a mental health disorder, getting the right type and level of care can be essential to their continued well-being. But clinical services are just one piece of the puzzle. To establish a more compassionate environment for all who are impacted by mental illness, each of us must take action to eliminate shame and stigma. Please join us in supporting NAMI's StigmaFree campaign. Ready to take the next step? Get all the details here: http://ow.ly/N3Ln50BMF4y

Here's a truth bomb to start the work week: If you have developed symptoms of a mental health disorder, we hope you realize that mental illness is not a personal shortcoming or a sign of weakness. Every single person is worthy of being treated with respect and compassion. This includes you! Even in times of doubt or crisis, don't lose sight of your many amazing talents, strengths, and capabilities. We see you, we celebrate you, and we will always be here for you!

Welcome to the first day of Mental Illness Awareness Week! Every year, this week is a chance for us all to promote greater understanding about mental health disorders. Our facility is always proud to contribute to this important cause. Focus areas of the 2020 MIAW include ending stigma and listening to those who are living with mental illness. We'll be posting several new updates throughout the week. Please join us in our effort to spread the word and make the world a more compassionate place. http://ow.ly/A0t2102oo4Z

As we approach October and the weather begins to cool, we all need to prepare ourselves for flu season. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, we've maintained strict protocols to ensure the safety of all who enter our facility. The safety of those we treat will always be our top priority. During the fall and winter months, as flu cases rise, we will remain vigilant, and we encourage all individuals, families, and communities to do the same.

If your life has been affected by substance abuse or a mental illness, it can be very hard to decide what path you need to follow to experience a healthier future.

Perhaps best of all, one step in the right direction can make all the difference in the world. To learn more about the many options that are available to you, call us at your convenience.
