A concerned mother contacted the Dr. Phil show to seek intervention for her daughter, Brandi, who has shown no signs of recovery from substance abuse addiction even after completing a mandatory two-year alcohol treatment program in the State of Georgia. Both Brandi’s mother, Stephanie, and husband, Victor, appeared on the Dr. Phil Show in desperation to find help for their loved one whose drinking, destructive behavior and smoking have gone out of control. To demonstrate the significance of her addiction problem, Victor said that when his wife was pregnant with their son for nine months, she quit smoking, but three hours after giving birth, she was outside smoking again. Even when she was released early from the mandatory program in Georgia, that very night Victor came home and found his wife with a full bottle of wine when she returned home. Victor expressed his loss of trust and also his grave concerns about recovery results of the next program; after having drained his retirement funds, borrowing money from his company and losing his three cars because of his wife’s drinking problems, he is at his wits’ end and is turning to Dr. Phil for advice.
Dr. Phil Show Recommends New Method Wellness for Brandi
Having heard Stephanie and Victor’s pleas for help, Dr. Phil personally met with Brandi and invited New Method Wellness to come help this family. On the show, Dr. Phil acknowledged that Brandi’s substance abuse is “not occurring in a vacuum” but may be linked to anxiety or some other personality disorder. Vocalizing doubts about the addiction treatment industry, Victor said, “You can keep her for 10 years somewhere…she would be the best student, best patient, whatever, and she would go right back to her old ways.” When Victor expressed his loss of trust in his wife, Dr. Phil said, “You don’t need to trust her. The proof is in the results and that’s why I’m not recommending that she go to an addiction center. What causes someone to get sober, get traction and go right back [to addiction] – it is a personality flaw that has to be addressed.”
“Not Just a 28-Day Program Patch on Addiction”
Introducing DeAnna Jordan, Brook McKenzie and Nik Grikitis from New Method Wellness, Dr. Phil talked about the array of holistic treatment programs that could help individuals like Brandi. “Their emphasis is on dual diagnosis treatment; it’s not a 28-day patch on addiction or alcoholism. They take a very holistic therapeutic approach” to “comorbid situations,” remarked Dr. Phil, who also highlighted New Method Wellness’s “really customized” approach to meeting clients’ needs.
