Unity Recovery Center is located in Florida and treats drug and alcohol addiction. Treatment begins with medical detox if needed. Detox is completed in another facility and then you are brought the Unity. Treatment may be covered by medical insurance and Unity assists in getting clearance from your insurance company. If this is not possible, there are other options available including financing.
Along with drug and alcohol treatment Unity treats you as a whole person. If you have another addiction such as gambling or eating addiction, or suffer from depression or a mood disorder, Unity has resources to treat you. You’ll go through an assessment and then get an individualized treatment plan. Everyone is be seen by a Psychiatrist once per week and takes part in counseling sessions more than once per week, goes to group therapy every day, attends 12 step programs daily, exercises multiple times per week and learns about nutrition.
Families are invited to attend Unity for a week of therapy to help them learn about addiction and how to cope with the addict especially upon their return home. If a family can’t afford to attend, they are invited to take part via conference calls.
After your 28 or 45 day stay, Unity provides continuing care meetings. If you are out of state, you can attend via conference calls. There are quarterly renewal retreats and monthly follow up calls. You are also encouraged to go to a halfway house if necessary and Unity assists finding a place for you.
If you are not able or it is not necessary in your case to be a patient of Unity, there is an outpatient program available also. You can attend 12 step programs, individual counseling, group counseling and educational classes.
When searching for drug rehab Florida, be sure to look into Unity. You can learn about them with a phone call at

There’s so much going on with my health as usual, that I’ve been preparing for the future. There’s good mixed in with the bad though. My daughter Alicia just got her Master’s Degree. My daughter Sammi is going to start middle school. My mother recently finished treatment for breast cancer. My husband got his own route at work, but was just in a car accident and hurt his neck along with his back problems that he already has.
Of course it’s better to focus on the good, but it’s important to prepare for the future too, even if it isn’t pleasant. I have a good example to look to – my parents. They prepared for their passing with a will and burial plans. My mother and father both bought Funeral Insurance. When my Dad passed 14 years ago, all of his plans were made. It was a difficult time, but not having to worry about where he was to be buried and how to pay for it, made it easier.
Life Insurance is something that concerns my husband and me. When my husband was in the military we both had Life Insurance, but we let the plans lapse when my husband was medically retired. Since I have chronic illnesses, it is too expensive for me to get Life Insurance. We do need to consider it though, as it would be costly to replace me! In reality it is. I take care of our daughter Sammi while my husband works and do other household chores as I’m able. It’s time for us to start getting Life Insurance Quotes to see if we can afford it vs. what it would be like without it and something happens to me. Maybe that will get my husband to recognize how valuable I am!

Are you aware that Acuvue Oasys Contact Lenses are made specifically for dry eyes? The technology called “Hydraclear Plus silicon-hydrogel” , which is patented and used by Johnson & Johnson makes these lenses remain moist.
Your eyes can become dry because of aging, hormonal changes, certain medications, eye strain and environmental factors including heat, dust, air conditioning and cigarette smoke. If your dry eyes are not serious or caused by disease, then using contact lenses like Acuvue Oasys can make your dry eyes feel moist.
If you purchase your Acuvue Oasys online from discount retailers like BuyMoreContacts.com, you can save money also. The retail price is $34.95, the cost online is $23.25, saving you $11.70. You can also purchase 8 or more boxes and pay $20.13 per box. (Lenses are packaged 6 to a box.) Shipping is FREE for orders $75 or over.
Acuvue Oasys are lightly tinted to make them easier to use, but they won’t change your eye color. Choose them if you have dry eyes.
Because of the continued issue with low potassium, I saw an Endocrinologist to get a second opinion on the diagnosis of Gitelman’s Syndrome. After going through a complete medical history and some medical tests, I do indeed have Gitelman’s Syndrome.
The good news is that this doctor is going about treating me differently than the Nephrologist. Instead of continuing to increase my Potassium he’s going to increase my Aldactone slowly. Hopefully I won’t need to continue to take Potassium at all.
I also had my Magnesium tested to see if that’s low. If it is, I’ll be taking supplements to get that in order. I’ll have more blood tests now to check my Potassium and Magnesium levels but I’m very hopeful that this lessen my fatigue, muscle cramps and Myasthenia Gravis symptoms.
The eye laser surgery I had scheduled is done in my left eye. The medical term for the procedure is peripheral iridectomy. Everything went well and the doctor was able to see a big change in the angle of my eye an hour later. My only issue is that I had a reaction to the cream that is used on the lens that was put into my eye when the procedure was done.
Because my eyes are very dry from Sjogren’s Syndrome, my doctor believes that the cream irritated my eye. So instead of going home and being able to put on my glasses and get online, I was stuck with a washcloth over my eye, keeping my eyes closed and adding artificial tears every hour or so. The prescription drops burned my eyes so much that I didn’t even want to use them.
Reminding myself that I needed this procedure and that it made a huge difference in treating the narrow angle glaucoma kept my spirits up. I slept on and off all night having to put drops in, change the washcloth and try not to focus on the pain. I also kept in mind that the next day I’d be able to wear my eyeglasses, read, go online and do my normal activities.
I’ll be having the second laser surgery next week on my right eye. This way both eyes are treated for the glaucoma. All I’ll need after that is my regular checkups, probably every three months. Plus my eyesight will be checked to see if I need prescription glasses. I’ll be having my angles and pressure checked during my visits for the rest of my life, but saving my eyesight is worth it.
I’m happy that I have an opthalmologist who does a thorough check up and caught the glaucoma when he did. And with modern medicine, the eye laser surgery is much easier than the old type of surgery where I’d have to have my iris cut. So many things have changed including the ability to buy glasses online, which can save lots of money. Although having glaucoma isn’t fun, focusing on the positives is how I get through.
