Breaking the Cycle: Vista's Sacred Journey Recovery Offers Transformative Men's Drug Rehab Amid Rising National Addiction Rates
As drug addiction continues to take a toll on communities across the United States, the need for effective, targeted rehabilitation has never been more urgent. In Vista, California, Sacred Journey Recovery is answering the call with a men's drug rehab program designed to provide holistic, trauma-informed care to individuals battling substance use disorders. This specialized program goes beyond symptom management, helping men uncover the root causes of addiction while fostering emotional growth and long-term recovery. With national overdose rates remaining high and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declaring addiction a public health crisis, treatment centers are adapting to meet complex and changing needs. In many cases, men experience addiction differently than women—facing unique societal pressures that may prevent them from seeking help or expressing emotional vulnerability. Sacred Journey Recovery's gender-specific approach recognizes this disparity and offers a safe, structured space where men can begin to dismantle the behavioral and psychological patterns fueling their substance use. The men's alcohol rehab program at Sacred Journey Recovery combines a blend of evidence-based clinical therapies, peer support, and experiential healing practices to address addiction from multiple angles. Clients undergo a comprehensive assessment to develop a personalized care plan, which may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), group therapy, and individual counseling. These therapeutic interventions aim not only to break physical dependency but also to address unresolved trauma, co-occurring mental health disorders, and emotional regulation challenges. What distinguishes this Vista-based program is its commitment to holistic healing. Alongside traditional therapeutic models, clients participate in mindfulness practices, physical fitness routines, and Sacred Journey's well-known adventure therapy experiences. These outdoor excursions offer opportunities for real-time learning, stress management, and team-building—giving clients tools they can carry into life beyond treatment. This nature-based approach is especially impactful for men, many of whom benefit from action-oriented recovery methods that reconnect them with a sense of purpose, confidence, and inner strength. Recent initiatives throughout California underscore the urgency of treatment programs like this one. In 2024, several statewide public health campaigns launched to address rising stimulant and opioid use, particularly among working-age men. Local statistics reveal an alarming increase in polysubstance abuse involving methamphetamine, fentanyl, and benzodiazepines, leading to a spike in emergency room visits and overdose deaths. Communities such as Vista are not exempt from these trends, making local access to high-quality rehab options essential. Sacred Journey Recovery's alcohol addiction treatment program also addresses the intersection of addiction and mental health, a crucial element of long-term recovery. Many men entering treatment have untreated depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health disorders that fuel their substance use. The center's dual-diagnosis approach ensures that these underlying issues are addressed concurrently with addiction, increasing the likelihood of sustained recovery and a more fulfilling life. Moreover, the rehab experience is structured around a continuum of care model. After completing residential or intensive outpatient programming, clients have access to aftercare support, sober living referrals, vocational development opportunities, and alumni networks. This wraparound model is designed to reduce relapse risk and empower individuals to reintegrate into their families, communities, and careers with confidence. At a time when drug addiction continues to fracture families and overwhelm health systems, programs like Sacred Journey Recovery's men's drug rehab offer a path forward rooted in empathy, expertise, and real-world support. The program doesn't just aim to help men stop using drugs—it strives to help them rediscover who they are without them. Through therapeutic exploration, physical activity, emotional connection, and a strong community, clients are given the chance to rebuild their lives from the inside out. For men in Vista and throughout Southern California seeking meaningful, lasting change, Sacred Journey Recovery's approach provides a beacon of hope amid the noise of crisis—a reminder that recovery is not just possible, but deeply transformational.

Maharashtra mulls MHT-CET twice yearly
Mumbai: The state govt is considering the possibility of holding major CETs, such as the MHT-CET, for admissions to engineering, pharmacy, and agricultural courses, at least twice a year for the convenience of students. The idea is to provide the students an opportunity to improve their scores and rely on more than a single-day exam, said a source. With the computer-based test (CBT) spanning multiple days and the large volume of students taking CETs in the state, the higher and technical education department will need to study the feasibility of conducting the exercise more than once every year. A govt representative stated that there is too much reliance on a single-day test, which can be unfair for various reasons. A student might be unwell, under immense pressure, or face an unexpected issue that day. "If something goes wrong, they risk losing an entire academic year. We, therefore, want to see if we can offer students more than one attempt. However, conducting the CET is a massive exercise that spans several days, and we need exam centres for nearly a month. So, giving students more than one attempt could be challenging, but we are figuring out the logistics. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dementia Has Been Linked To a Common Habit. Do You Do It? NeuroVita Global Learn More Undo It is at the discussion stage," said the representative, adding that they hope the volume of students is likely to taper off toward the later attempts. Recently, a team of senior officials visited Karnataka to understand their processes. However, the Karnataka Examinations Authority conducts its entrance examinations in a pen-and-paper format, which is conducted on a single day like NEET, and is taken by a little over 3 lakh students. Maharashtra's MHT-CET is a computer-based test and is conducted over 15 days, and is taken by more than 7 lakh students.

For instance, the govt is planning to involve aided colleges to act as exam centres. "Aided colleges have computer laboratories which can be used for conducting the computer-based tests. As they are aided, the govt will have more control over these colleges, unlike the private centres," added the representative. In the ongoing assembly, the higher and technical education minister also announced a committee that would look into the smooth conduct of the exams from a technical point of view. The announcement was made following a question raised by a member on the mistakes in the MHT-CET question paper this year, which led to a re-exam. The higher and technical education department is planning to hold a one-day national-level conference with testing agencies such as the National Testing Agency (NTA) and other states' authorities for sharing and understanding the best practices in holding entrance exams in a more effective and student-friendly manner.

Rakyat again swamp Agong's FB page to express a host of displeasure against PMX, Madani gov't
DETRACTORS had for a second time flooded the page book of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia to convey a slew of disgruntlements against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his Madani administration. The latest was through the comment section of the Johor ruler's post that the appointment of judges to Malaysia's superior courts must be handled with care and integrity to prevent the matter from being politicised. Citing Article 122B of the Federal Constitution, the July 10 statement by Istana Negara highlighted that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong appoints the top four judicial office holders and other superior court judges based on the PM's advice after consultation with the Conference of Rulers. The first time a similar venting of public displeasure happened was three weeks ago when Sultan Ibrahim posted a photo of him meeting PMX who also briefed the former on current developments and various current issues. It cannot be immediately ascertained if such practice of undermining PMX at the highest level is orchestrated by the Opposition in the wake of the PAS-backed Turun Anwar rally at Dataran Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur on July 26 which has targeted to draw some 50,000 participants. What is sure, however, is that running down the public image of a serving PM in such a manner has been unprecedented and is reflective of a sense of desperation in tandem with the escalating public trust deficit on PMX and his Madani administration following the May 23 PKR central leadership polls. In the latest antic, the most popular comment has called for the 're-opening of the (Datuk Seri Ahmad) Zahid Hamidi case file', alluding to the discharged not amounting to acquittal (DNAA) judgment bestowed on the Deputy PM from all 47 charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT), corruption and money laundering in relation to Yayasan Akalbudi funds. The comment was, however, denounced by Madani government backers as 'falling outside the topic'. Another commenter lamented the appointment 'of problematic individual such as PMX' which he described as 'a big mistake for the country' which again necessitated Madani keyboard warriors to come to PMX's defence. A perhaps more balanced view is one which paid tribute to PMX for having mooted judiciary reform by sparking public pressure following the 'looks like me and sounds like me' V.K. Lingam's case yet he himself is now caught in an 'impending judiciary crisis'. However, many Madani backers tend to brush aside concerns over a brewing judiciary crisis on grounds that the 'judges were not sacked as during the Mahathir era but just that they've reached their mandatory retirement age'. One commenter even seized the opportunity to seek the National Palace's urgent intervention to ensure that the case of incarcerated former premier Datuk Seti Najib Raszak 'is tried with due diligence'. At the end of the day, a number of commenters wanted the Agong and the Conference of Rulers to rely on their own discretion to decide on judiciary appointments without intervention from politicians who includes the PM himself. – July 13, 2025 Main image credit: Bernama
