Treating addiction is expensive and patients often relapse. A new company is offering better results at a price that's lower in the long run — and clients get treatment right at home.
Drub abuse treatment at home as described here makes sense if the professionals know what they are doing and help build the necessary structure the client needs. But, without that structure and skill, a residential program still might be needed. That is, provided it is designed for drug addiction. Many therapeutic boarding schools cover other attitudes and emtional problems but are weak in treating addiction. That probably was the reason the therapeutic boarding school did not work. Parents and clients have to realize special schools are not all the same and the selection must be made with great care. -Lon

Journalists take for granted skill sets that define the profession: researching unfamiliar topics, asking probing questions, synthesizing new information, and engaging publics. Yet these skills also correlate to what K-12 students will need in order to navigate an ever-changing and complex world.
An intriguing experiment. Lots of potential benefits, including interactions with peers, thinking straight on a topic, even a kind of journaling. -Lon

Is empathy a good thing? Put this way, the warm glow of fellow feeling suddenly seems worse than useless - a purely unconscious thing, like a string vibrating because another string tuned to the same pitch is vibrating somewhere nearby.
A valuable relook at the value of empathy, especially for someone that values sketicism.. Some critics seem to say that without rational control, empathy might be the subject of the old saying "The road to hell is paved by good intentions." -Lon

For the young, mostly white, upper-class men I observed, this presents a significant “gender dilemma.” In other words, the behavioral and expressive qualities emphasized in the therapeutic environment clash with dominant notions of masculinity – particularly privileged masculinities associated with control, competition, and toughness that students embodied prior to enrollment in the program.
What do you think of this perspective? -Lon

The use of smartphones and tablets has exploded over the same period that drug use has declined among American teens. Researchers say the correlation is worth exploring.
Interesting question. Sounds like smart phones just might be replacing drug use, at least in teens and pre-teens.- -Lon
Teenagers are smoking fewer cigarettes, drinking less alcohol and taking less drugs. Fantastic news! But is carrying a Smartphone the equivalent of having a portable dopamine pump to boost your mood through video games and other apps?
As teens become overwhelmed with life, surging hormones and the demands of education they need to realise that true and lasting happiness/contentment doesn't come from anything outside of themselves.
