The late morning rays of the sun finally shine on you. Your head is pounding, and you feel like you’ve been hit by a bus. You swore you weren’t going to drink too much last night, but it just sort of happened. And now you’re hungover. Eyes half-open, you look for your cell phone. Is it hiding between the sheets? Maybe you left it charging. You finally find it, but the relief you feel is quickly replaced with panic as you check your text messages and see you’re supposed to meet a friend for brunch today at noon! It’s already 11:00 am, and there’s no way you can roll out of bed right now. Your first instinct is to reach for Gatorade, but you know it doesn’t always work. Sometimes even a whole bottle doesn’t take away that dehydrated and exhausted feeling. Then you remember the sample Hangover Helper kit you ordered online recently. You had read about it and liked the idea of a scientifically backed, herbal remedy created by a pharmacist, so you figured it was worth a try. Praying it’ll work, you stumble to the kitchen and stir the Hangover Helper powdered mix in a glass of water and down it with the 2 pills included in the kit. Within half an hour you’re amazed by how much better you feel. By some miracle, you’re revved up and actually excited about getting to brunch on time! You head out the door and make a mental note to stock up on Hangover Helper so you’ll never have to experience another miserable morning after. - [Read More]

At FHE Health, aftercare services for those that have been cared for through treatment are proven to work. We understand the need for support in the early days of recovery and have provided anything and everything that we can to the graduates of our treatment programs so that they have the highest chance of recovery success. Our sober living environments implement a connection to spirituality so that inner peace and comfort can be achieved. Additionally, those who have graduated from our programs are held to a high standard. Our motto implemented at the sober living program is, “It’s either impeccable or unacceptable”, meaning that we expect only the best out of those that choose to further their treatment, and nothing less. We wish not to enable the men and women enrolled in the program, but to provide the tools to live addiction free with the implementation of daily schedules and routines. The number one goal for those that choose to utilize our sober living homes is a lifetime of permanent sobriety. Most think that addiction recovery is only about refraining from using drugs and alcohol. While giving up substance abuse is a large part of recovery, it is mostly about determining the underlying causes and emotions that feed your addictions. Surrounding yourself with individuals that have encountered through similar circumstances will give you a safe environment to explore the hidden driving factors of addiction into your life. Along with providing you a place to live that holds sobriety as the highest priority, we will also give you a support group that you can rely on to get you through the hardest days of recovery. Group and individualized therapy are services that are offered at our sober living home programs, so treatment can continue as your daily life starts to. Instead of being thrown back into the routine of work, school, and social responsibilities that you so recently left and juggled along with an addiction, you can slowly introduce those areas back to your new, sober lifestyle, while being surrounded by those that are doing the same. - [Read More]

Drug addiction is a chronic disease that changes the brain circuits, including those responsible for governing self-control and other behaviors. Quitting drugs, even with the best intentions and strongest will is very difficult, since drugs change the brain in ways that foster compulsive drug abuse. Alcoholism is when you have trouble controlling your drinking, you are preoccupied with alcohol, you continue to use alcohol even when it causes problems in your life (job, relationships, health, etc.), you have to drink more to get the same effect, or you have withdrawal symptoms when you rapidly decrease or stop drinking. Drug addiction is a biological problem that causes changes in the brain after long term drug abuse, making it difficult to abstain from drugs without getting treatment. Alcoholism and addiction are chronic diseases that can be managed successfully with ongoing treatment. Treatment has helped millions of people stop drinking and drugging, rebuild their lives and live a life in long-term recovery. Like other diseases, it is not always cured. - [Read More]
