Drug Rehab Program Launching New Website to Offer College Credits at Addiction Treatment Center
Woodland Hills, CA (PRWEB) April 9, 2008 -- Unlike other addiction treatment facilities, Sober College will soon be able to offer actual college credits to its clients who, in a markedly advanced program, will be able to complete both drug rehab and college courses simultaneously. Students will be able to sign up through the newly designed website launching in April 2008. Located in Woodland Hills, California, Sober College is a drug rehab center (http://www.sobercollege.com) that caters to the needs of young adults.
Based on research and experience, Sober College operates under the premise that youth respond better to drug rehab treatment when they are in a group of peers and their chances for success increase the longer they are able to remain at an addiction treatment center (http://www.sobercollege.com). The teenage years are extremely important from both a developmental standpoint as well as an educational one. Sober College has long provided those in their drug rehab program the option to complete their GED or work on college courses that apply to their future goals. The ability to award college credits within a treatment setting is an industry first.
When students arrive at Sober College, they will undergo an academic placement in which they will have a chance to work with professionals to set a course that will allow them to achieve their goals while participating in the drug rehab program (http://www.sobercollege.com). Once they have been placed, students receive a personalized program that is tailored to their individual needs. Each student is monitored by staff at Sober College's Learning Center to ensure their educational progress works in concordance with the 12-step sober living program that Sober College advocates. From that point, students work toward re-integration into the real world, moving from the Sober College setting to local community colleges, etc., while still living in the supportive environment of the Sober College homes.
Sober College believes that building a foundation for success is a multi-tiered process that promotes personal growth as well as educational advancement. Allowing substance abuse treatment center (http://www.sobercollege.com) clients to continue education with college credits that will carry over to any institution is an essential part of a seamless transition into sober living in the real world.

Lower Inhibitions, Lower Performance: Impotence And Alcoholism
Alcohol is known to effectively lower a person's inhibitions. It is because of this effect that alcohol is also believed to bring out one's sexuality, increase one's sex drive, and even improve one's sexual performance. The truth of this, however, cannot be actually verified. Although, one thing is for sure about alcohol and its effects on a man's system. Too much alcohol intake or excessive alcoholism can eventually result to impotence or erectile dysfunction. Simply put, this is a man's inability to achieve an erection when sexually stimulated. It is not, therefore, always true that alcohol increases or improves one's sexual performance. When alcohol intake is already too much, it can have the opposite effect on a man's functioning.
