We are thrilled to join the nation in celebrating Juneteenth! 🎊🎆

Today, on this momentous occasion, we pause to reflect and honor the significance of Juneteenth. Juneteenth symbolizes the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, marking the day when news of their freedom reached Galveston, Texas in 1865. It is a powerful reminder of the Black community's resilience, strength, and perseverance throughout history.

At Eleanor Health, we stand firmly in solidarity with our Black community members and recognize the profound impact that Juneteenth has had on shaping our organization's values and mission. As we strive for health equity and justice for all, we acknowledge the historical injustices Black individuals face and commit ourselves to dismantling systemic barriers that hinder their well-being.

Juneteenth serves as a reminder that the fight for freedom and equality is an ongoing journey. It compels us to continue advocating for racial equity, social justice, and mental health support for all individuals, regardless of their background. Everyone deserves access to compassionate and comprehensive care, free from stigma and discrimination.

Today, as we celebrate the progress and resilience of the Black community, we also acknowledge the work that lies ahead. We are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and equitable environment within our organization, and actively working towards eliminating health disparities that disproportionately affect communities of color.

Let us stand together, united in pursuing a more just and equitable future. Happy Juneteenth! 🌟🌍🤝

"A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society."
- Billy Graham

Father's Day is this Sunday - a day to celebrate all the dads, soon-to-be dads, moms acting as dads, step-dads, adoptive dads, foster dads, and dads no longer with us.

Thank you for bandaging scraped knees, bedtime stories, life lessons, laughs, and unconditional love and support.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at Eleanor Health!

Today marks the first day of National Men's Health Week. What better time to shed some light on the importance of taking care of yourself, mentally, physically, and spiritually?

To start, we would like to share some facts about men and drug and alcohol misuse that you may not be aware of.

Did you know that men are more likely to use illicit drugs than women? And to top it off, men are also more likely to end up in the emergency room or worse, overdose, because of it. Oftentimes, men turn to drugs as a coping mechanism when they've experienced trauma or are in stressful situations. But let's face it, it's not a sustainable solution.

Now, let's talk about alcohol. For many, it's tempting to have a cold one after a long day, but moderation is key. Men have higher rates of alcohol use and dependence than women, which can lead to serious health issues. So, it's important to be mindful of alcohol consumption and know when to say no.

Now, moderation and finding healthier ways to cope with stress sound good in theory, but if it were easy we wouldn't be having this conversation. The good news is, you don't have to figure it out on your own. We can help and encourage you to reach out if you are looking for support.

In the United States, 46% of adults have a family member or friend who has been or is addicted to drugs. Add alcohol to that statistic and the number is even higher! Yet, when those friends or loved ones are ready to seek treatment, they may not even know where to start, in part because there is so much inaccurate information about substance use disorder treatment.

That's why we created this ebook “Addiction Treatment: Fact vs. Fiction,” which debunks common myths and provides clear, accurate information about addiction treatment. Understanding the facts can help break the stigma around addiction and encourage more people to seek the help they need.

June is pride month and we're proud to support the LGBTQ+ community. We would like to take this time to shed some light on how substance use disorder continues to plague this community at alarming rates.

As allies, it is important for us to recognize the unique challenges and struggles that members of the LGBTQ+ community face on a daily basis. From discrimination and stigma to lack of access to healthcare, these individuals often face greater barriers when seeking treatment for substance use disorder.

If you or a loved one is seeking a safe and inclusive environment where members of the LGBTQ+ community feel comfortable seeking help for substance use disorder, we're here for you. Reach out to learn more or schedule your appointment at 866-624-3816.

In our last post, we shared some signs to watch for that may indicate an addiction to opioids. Today, we're sharing some ways to safely detox from opioids.

Medical detox is one of the safest ways of detoxing as it provides a drug-free environment and close medical supervision and support. Studies show that people who use medication as part of their treatment have a higher success rate. (Note: when not done safely, opioid detox can present life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, so always detox with the help of a professional.)

In addition to MOUD (that's Medications for opioid use disorders), there are multiple behavioral strategies you can use to set yourself up for the best success with getting through withdrawal in addition to medications.

Want to know more? Check out our blog post:

Detoxing from opioids requires comprehensive treatment under the supervision of professionals to minimize the risk of relapse or fatal overdose.

The 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health revealed that around 30 million people over the age of 12 have an alcohol addiction, 24 million have a substance use disorder, and 9 million struggle with opioid addiction. 📊

This accounts for approximately 16 percent of the population, making addiction an undeniable part of our society. Trying to quit using substances or drinking alcohol 🍻 can be very difficult, and withdrawal can be a big deterrent.

Withdrawal can be very dangerous, even fatal, so it’s important to know the risks and what options are available for safety. ⚠️ →
