In his famous anthem, Alice’s Restaurant, Arlo Guthrie tells the story about his adventure with the Selective Service System<\/a>. Near the end of the song, he is asked the classic question, “Kid, have you rehabilitated yourself?”<\/p>\n

It seems being rehabilitated is all the rage now-a-days. Of course, recently, Tiger Woods put rehab squarely in the public’s eye, but many others are also doing the rehab thing. Charlie Sheen and his wife, Brooke Mueller, are both in rehab for “undisclosed reasons.” Although, it is also being reported as “preventative rehab.” I’m all for prevention.

The long list of famous people in the news who have been in rehab may have first started long ago with Betty Ford. She was being treated for alcoholism, and now the center<\/a> is named after her.<\/p>\n

Have you noticed some of the names of these popular rehab centers? Tiger Woods went to the Gentle Path Rehabilitation Facility<\/a>. Many of these centers have soft and kind names like that.<\/p>\n

I thought about opening up a rehab center at one time. I envisioned having a group of people including MDs, psychologists, therapists, trainers, nutritionists, etc., all working together to help the patient\/client find their way. Being from the Rambo psychiatrist school of thinking<\/a>, my original name for this center was The GYST Center, as in Get Your $hit Together Center!<\/p>\n

What Is Rehabilitation?<\/h3>\n

Rehabilitation<\/a>, as related to matters of physical and emotional well being, refers to any process that seeks to restore the patient to their previous level of health. At its core, rehabilitation has the goal of assisting individuals to achieve the highest quality of life and health as possible.<\/p>\n

Addiction rehab is a form of retraining that also is likely to involve both physical and emotional therapy as part of the rehabilitation process. This can involve helping the addict to deal with physical cravings and the emotional bonds that entwine the addict to his or her habit.<\/p>\n

Often, centers that deal with these types of problems actively measure the progress of each patient. In addition, they do their best to provide an atmosphere that is welcoming, as well as encouraging for the client.<\/p>\n

Rehab for Eating Disorders<\/h3>\n

In the area of health and fitness, the use of rehabilitation to treat an eating disorder can be a savior for some individuals afflicted with this condition. Though not as likely to be all over the news as Tiger Woods’ sex addiction (something, which I do not agree is an addiction in his case, by the way), eating disorders affect many more individuals, and in my opinion, cause much more damage to people’s overall lives and health. If you have this problem, it would be in your best interest to seek treatment. I\u2019m sure you can find a kind and supportive center near your area that will help you, and I implore you to consider this option. If you are concerned about maintaining your privacy, there are many well-established centers all over the country where you can go and your anonymity would be protected. The National Eating Disorders Association<\/a> is a rehab organization dedicated to providing education, resources and support to those affected by eating disorders.<\/p>\n
