⭐MICHIGAN ADDICTION SPECIALIST GUIDES YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY TO SOBRIETY IN A STRAIGHTFORWARD YET COMPASSIONATE APPROACH.⭐

In her new book, Aliya Pasik, PA-C, explains various types of addictions and their consequences in easy-to-understand terms, as she guides you on how to get the help you need.

Don’t wait for the legal system to make treatment mandatory. Addictions are life-threatening concerns, and this new book, The Sobriety Manual: The essential tool for sobriety, health, and happiness, is your companion on your recovery journey. This eight-chapter paperback is straightforward, informative, easy to read with its many metaphors, and can be read in any order. If a chapter jumps out at you, read it first, the author directs. Included is a sobriety journal that instructs you to identify yourself as two people inside your head - the addict you and the sober you. You are urged to journal your thoughts and cravings as the “addict you”, while the “sober you” sets the record straight in the journal and seeks health-promoting activities.

August is here - and with it, a gentle reminder that it’s okay to slow down, take stock, and reset your routine.

✅ Get outside for some sunshine
✅ Check in on your sleep habits
✅ Revisit your therapy or medication goals
✅ Drink water, breathe deeply, and celebrate small wins

You don’t need a big breakthrough to make a big impact. Progress is showing up - even on a Friday.

Do you struggle with PTSD and severe depression?

SPRAVATO® has not been formally evaluated in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), though patients with comorbid PTSD were included in the TRD phase three trial program and the studies listed below.

Across the phase 3 trial program in TRD, 12/1601 patients (0.7%) treated with SPRAVATO® had PTSD upon enrollment. In addition, results from 3 retrospective analyses showed overall improvements in depressive and PTSD symptoms following treatment with SPRAVATO®.

How to Prepare for Your Medication Review | Featuring Kim Roznwski, PA-C

Your medication appointment is a valuable check-in to make sure your treatment is working for you. To get the most out of your visit, here’s how to prepare:

✅ Let your provider know about any new or adjusted medications from other doctors
✅ Share how you're feeling on your current meds - even small changes matter
✅ Complete your pre-visit survey (it helps us track your progress!)
✅ For virtual visits, have your weight and blood pressure ready, if possible
✅ Check your internet connection ahead of time to avoid tech hiccups

And remember:
You won’t get in trouble for missing a dose or needing a change. Your provider is here to support you - no judgment, just care.

At RCBM, we’re committed to working with you to find what works best.

What Is Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)?
🎥 Featuring Riley Ubben, LMSW

BPD is a complex mental health condition that affects how individuals manage emotions, perceive themselves, and relate to others. Those living with BPD may experience:
- Intense, rapidly shifting emotions
- A fragmented or unstable sense of self
- Impulsivity and self-destructive behaviors
- Fear of abandonment

Relationship challenges, often marked by "splitting" (seeing others as all good or all bad)

Riley Ubben, LMSW, explains how BPD often stems from early attachment trauma or inconsistent emotional experiences - and how healing is possible.

🌿 With the right support, individuals can learn to:
- Build emotional regulation
- Shift from reactivity to reflection
- Strengthen relationships
- Develop a more stable sense of self

At RCBM, we believe in the power of psychotherapy to help individuals with BPD create lasting, meaningful change.

📱 Let’s Talk About Screen Time
Advice from Elizabeth Sweet, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at RCBM


At RCBM, we know that managing screen time for kids and teens can feel overwhelming - but it’s also one of the most important ways to support their mental health and emotional development.

Elizabeth Sweet, PMHNP-BC, MSN, shares her top tips for setting healthy digital boundaries:

✔️ Watch together - Shared screen time (like family movies or games) builds connection and helps model healthy boundaries.
✔️ Check app usage - Don’t rely solely on age ratings; content creators often find ways to bypass filters.
✔️ Know your platforms - Apps like YouTube and Roblox are popular, but best suited for older children with supervision.
✔️ Teach digital awareness - Help kids recognize the difference between screen time that’s enriching vs. draining.

💡 Pro tip from Elizabeth: Use trusted resources like Common Sense Media and the AAP's Family Media Plan to guide your household screen habits.

When it comes to digital wellness, a little structure goes a long way. You’ve got this - and we’re here to help.

Congratulations to Dr. Joel Young, MD, and Dr. Benjamin Young, MD, on their recent article in Closler, a publication of Johns Hopkins Medicine. The article emphasizes that when patients show persistent inattention, disorganization, or poor response to anxiety treatment, consider the diagnosis of ADHD. A comprehensive, multidimensional assessment can uncover overlooked conditions and transform a patient’s life. RCBM is committed to an accurate diagnosis. Central to our approach is our diagnostic screening program, Mind Metrix, which plays a crucial role in this process.
