Alternative Treatment International, Inc. Receives the Principle Registered Trademark for Mind-Body-Spirit-EnvironmentÂ®

(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 30, 2007 ) Clearwater, FL – Alternative Treatment International, Inc. has received the principle registered trademark for the term “Mind-Body-Spirit-Environment®” which is a specialized treatment plan and clinical protocol to treat inviduals with substance abuse and psycho-emotional disorders.Many substance abuse drug rehabs and mental health treatment programs are beginning to recognize that addressing mind, body, and spirit in their treatment approaches provides clients with a well-rounded and comprehensive treatment plan protocol for sobriety and recovery; however, recently Alternative Treatment International, Inc. (A.T.I.), located in Clearwater, Florida, has coined this phrase. A.T.I understands that in order to adopt a true holistic philosophy and address the client’s healing in the fullest spectrum of an addicts life, the treatment protocol must be taken a step further to include the client’s environment and the environment in general.When clients are taught to heal the environment around them as part of their therapeutic recovery process while in a residential setting such as that offered by Alternative Treatment International, Inc., they have the opportunity to practice raising their consciousness. By this, they help to heal themselves in a mindful and purposeful way.According to Dr. Alan Meyers and Julia Stewart, founders of Alternative Treatment International, Inc. (A.T.I.), (http://www.alternative2rehab.com), the success with its clients who experience substance abuse and psycho-emotional disorders not only comes from the intensive small group therapy and individual psycho-therapy sessions received by the clients, but also the integrated attention to healing the Mind-Body-Spirit-Environment® in each treatment plan and clinical protocol.Healing the Mind incorporates group and individual therapies, written and reading assignments, as well as study. Healing the Body includes a comprehensive physical fitness program of exercise that is designed for each individual client to address his/her specific fitness deficiencies. Healing the Spirit encompasses assisting each client to reconnect with their “Self” and adopt and practice a spiritual exercise which could include: meditation, Yoga, Tai Chi, or some other spiritual practice which best suits the client’s specific orientation. Healing the Environment promotes an understanding and consciousness of proactively healing the client’s personal living environment as well as becoming aware of the global environment in general. The purpose of including the environment in the total healing philosophy and process, particularly for drug and alcohol abuse clients and those suffering from depression and other emotional problems, is for the client to understand that by healing one’s own environment and building a consciousness of caring for and healing the planet they help to heal themselves. At Alternative Treatment International, the recovery process of healing Mind-Body-Spirit-Environment® is specifically designed to promote recovery from drug abuse, alcohol abuse, depression and other psycho-emotional disorders by assisting clients to elevate their thinking to a heightened awareness. According to Dr. Meyers, “When the thinking changes, the behavior will change by itself, as thinking produces behavior.” The A.T.I. program emphasizes a change in thinking throughout its therapeutic programming and achieves this by using indirective and metaphorical techniques. Dr. Meyers states, “The best therapeutic result always occurs when the client is brought to his/her own conclusion.” Rather than employing a directive and controlling approach that may produce a defensive attitude by the client and hamper the change process, the indirective and metaphorical techniques allow the client to come to his/her own conclusion. This yields a more productive therapeutic result, not only in the clients’ behaviors but also in their thinking, sobriety, and recovery.Alternative Treatment International, Inc. ("A.T.I.") offers a private, exclusive, Non-12-Step recovery treatment in a stress-free tropical setting.
