A Review of The Coleman Institute in Indiana

The Coleman Institute which is run under Dr. Peter Coleman has been in existence since 1998. The programs they have developed for detoxification are unique and effective and have achieved remarkable results. Over a thousand patients have been treated for detoxification and their success rate is 98%. Their unique programs help detoxify and stabilize patients from the effects of opiates, alcohol, and benzodiazepines.

Dr. Coleman is a recovering addict as well as the National Medical Director and founder of the Coleman Institute. Dr. Coleman understands that the patient experiences deep and intense levels of pain when detoxing because he has gone through the same experiences. Dr. Coleman also understands the challenges and stress that goes along with sobriety, especially long-term sobriety.

Floridians are a fun loving people; so much so that even when something as drastic as an addiction problem happens with them, they are quite reluctant to accept that they are in a genuine problem. This is actually the classic state of denial where a person will not want to accept that something is wrong with him or her. This is what takes the person away from treatment. Even though there are hundreds of very effective programs available for treatment of drug and alcohol addiction in Florida, such denial can prohibit most people from the kind of treatment they ought to get.

Kansas is another state within the US which has a small population overall, but a large number of people who are addicted to drugs. It has close to three million people, and out that about 16,000 people actively volunteer for treatment for drug and alcohol abuse within this state. The most rampant problem within Kansas is the influx of marijuana addiction in every way possible. The second largest drug problem in the state is that of cocaine, especially the cocaine HCl which is widely used within the state. Heroin addiction is also present in the state but not to a staggering extent, which makes it a milder problem than it is in some of the neighboring states. As in the other states, Kansas is also getting its fair share of methamphetamine both from within its own borders and other states, which keeps this problem in the reckoning too.
