in the medical field are now taking a different approach when dealing with
those who are drunk and injured. Instead of simply administering care and

as a way to convey to the patient how their alcohol abuse or alcoholism is
negatively impacting their lives, and how they need the help of a professional
alcohol treatment facility in order to treat their disease.”

Both of these motto's are meant to be motivational, meaning that when going
through tough times, it begins with how you perceive that experience.” –Rebecca

of Michigan finding that

later life.
