Advocating for Eating Disorder Prevention

Addiction Treatment, From the Frontlines, Mental Health TreatmentBy Amatus Recovery CentersMarch 12, 2020

Every 62 minutes someone dies as a direct result of an eating disorder, and that could have easily been me. When I was growing up, I believed being smaller meant being better. There was nobody to tell me that’s wrong.

St. Patrick’s Day is around the corner, and your corner bar will be full. After St. Patrick’s, there’s March Madness and the start of baseball season.
March in general is a heavy drinking month. But you can get through this season sober—and enjoy it.

Music in Sobriety: Meditative Effects

Addiction Treatment, From the Frontlines, Recovery, Substance Abuse TreatmentBy Amatus Recovery CentersMarch 6, 2020

Setting Boundaries in Recovery

Addiction Treatment, From the Frontlines, RecoveryBy Amatus Recovery CentersFebruary 27, 2020

Creating boundaries requires knowing what they are, which means being in tune with what you’re feeling. This is difficult to do when you’re not cognizant in general. It is also hard to do when your sense of self is enmeshed with substances.

Johnny Cash’s Birthday: A Day to be Grateful for Recovery

Addiction Treatment, From the Frontlines, Recovery, Substance Abuse TreatmentBy Amatus Recovery CentersFebruary 26, 2020

Addiction Prevention: Start Early

Addiction Treatment, From the Frontlines, Recovery, Substance Abuse TreatmentBy Amatus Recovery CentersFebruary 26, 2020

I was a few months sober when a member of my old social circle died in a vehicle crash; he had been drunk.  I could easily think of a dozen people who died in incidents from drugs and alcohol when they were very young.

Nostalgia in Recovery: How I Release It

Addiction Treatment, From the Frontlines, Recovery, Substance Abuse TreatmentBy Amatus Recovery CentersFebruary 14, 2020

Nostalgia happens. I remember circa 2006, 2007, people I hung out with were already reminiscing about the 90’s—honoring the decade by wearing big flannels and listening to TLC’s “Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls.”

Destigmatizing Addiction in Sports Franchises

Addiction Treatment, From the Frontlines, Recovery, Substance Abuse TreatmentBy Amatus Recovery CentersFebruary 14, 2020

Prior to this season, baseball players were not tested for “drugs of abuse” unless there was probable cause. Previous drug screenings were meant primarily to identify whether a player was using a performance enhancing substance.

and Recovery Begins

Our addiction specialists are always ready to answer your questions and help you access the care you need. Every patient in our care receives a personalized treatment plan that takes into account their unique needs.

We Stand for Equality - A message from CEO Mark Gold

Amatus stands in solidarity with all of the people across the globe mourning the death of George Floyd and countless others who lost their lives unnecessarily. We are outraged and heartbroken. We support those fighting to combat hate, discrimination, and unfair treatment of our fellow humans. We stand with our staff, our clients, and all those who live in legitimate fear that they and their loved ones may be targeted based on race. We empathize with the anxiety, fatigue, and frustration of the African American community. We acknowledge that these lives matter.

Racism infiltrates every aspect of our lives. We would be remiss not to mention how it impacts the addiction community. Spurred on by The War on Drugs, African Americans and other people of color are often incarcerated for similar practices for which the white population receives treatment.

Nearly 80% of people in federal prison for drug crimes are black and brown people. This is why Amatus supports Drug Abuse Response Team (D.A.R.T.), a program that connects people willing to enter addiction treatment to resources and help to minimize jail time.

We know that dealing with systemic racism, fear of violence, and discrimination is traumatic. We are committed to supporting people in our communities in need of compassion and trauma-informed care. As an ongoing commitment, we will continue to develop meaningful ways to use our voice and resources to support reforming the drug policies that so negatively impact African American communities. In addition, we have set up a Social Justice Scholarship Fund, as a way to provide treatment for individuals who are facing jail time for drug-related offenses.

As a company, Amatus embraces diversity and wholeheartedly believes in the power of inclusion. We acknowledge that we do not have all the answers. We may never be perfect, but we resolve to work to make Amatus the best version of itself. We are dedicated to leading peaceful and positive change in our workplace and across the communities we serve. We have the responsibility to create a culture where there is no place for hate and discrimination.

We take a knee with those who fight oppression and who demand to make our country a more perfect union.

To a brighter future, upward and onward.
