You’re still here -- Living after suicide Amy Biancolli Amy Biancolli, who lost both her husband and her sister to suicide, talks about surviving those blows and figuring out how to move on. Loss forces the living to reinvent themselves, to re-tool family dynamics and to find meaning in life and laughter with the loved ones who remain. The grief has a mind of its own, frequently ignoring the tidy stages we expect of it. But so do moments of levity, which come and go at wi...ll. Biancolli tells some of her own story, including her decision to write about a personal subject so often hushed in public. Amy Biancolli is the author of Figuring Shit Out: Love, Laughter, Suicide, and Survival (Behler Publications), a memoir of life after the death of her husband, writer Christopher D. Ringwald. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3FKQNSYoxw Accepting new patients age 13 and up for general outpatient mental health treatment and outpatient detoxification. Fee-for-service practice.

Drug Treatments for Alcohol Abuse | Alcoholism There are a couple of medications that can be used for people with alcohol use disorders. One of them is called Antabuse. Antabuse is a medication that people take each day. It comes in two different doses, and what Antabuse does is it creates an adversive reaction to alcohol. So if people drink when they're taking Antabuse, they'll have a physical reaction. That can range from getting very red in the face and their body's turnin...g red, getting very sweaty, or actually feeling nauseous, or vomiting. And that can be, again, the idea behind that is that it's so adversive that it causes people to really not want to drink. It can stay in one's system for several days, even if you stop taking it. So if someone stops takes the medication and they may drink that next day, they may still and most likely will still have some adverse effect. Of course, just like any other medication, as it washes out of your body over time the adverse reaction will become less and less, and then go away. Another medication that's used is called Naltrexone. Naltrexone is given and what we see in Naltrexone is that what it does, it's not any adversive reaction to Naltrexone whatsoever. What it does do with some people, not all, is it helps people with their craving of alcohol. So often what happens for people, we talk a lot about triggers that people have. So people may get triggered to drink because they walked by a liquor store, or they walked by a restaurant or bar. And then what happens is that triggers a craving where they feel sometimes in their body, you know, they want alcohol really, really badly. And that often causes them to start drinking. So often people describe taking Naltrexone and not having that craving, or if they do have that craving it's much less in magnitude than it is when they aren't taking Naltrexone. And those are really the two major medication that we know used for people with alcohol problems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTpLdHLtR-U Accepting new patients age 13 and up for general outpatient mental health treatment and outpatient detoxification.

Living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is not about having tidy, color-coded closet shelves. Living with OCD is like living with a monster, driving the afflicted to extreme behaviors that compromise quality of life. As mother to an OCD daughter, Tauscha Johanson describes their family’s discovery of how to starve the monster, making it weaker in the process, and everyone’s life a little better. People have questioned Tauscha Johanson’s unconventional approach to life since... college where she studied zoology, pre-medicine, then re-directed her attention to her family instead of going to medical school. Obstacles and negative opinions didn’t sway her when she fought to get treatment for her daughter’s OCD, rose to leadership in pharmaceuticals, or chose a risky, but tremendously successful career in direct sales. What’s not in question is whether she knows how to lift, edify, and teach to empower others. Tauscha’s biggest concern is making a difference and having a positive impact on the lives of others beginning with her family. Her faith and her family are the most important things in her life. Tell her she shouldn’t do something significant and she’ll show you the Righteous Rebel who can This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZZIxyY23IA Accepting new patients age 13 and up.
