MALIBU BEACH RECOVERY CENTER TO PROVIDE TREATMENT, INTERVENTION RESOURCES
Malibu – Malibu Beach Recovery Center announces effective immediately its first annual “Holiday Help Line” (Telephone: 800-756-6990) which any member of the public can call through January 31, 2011. The inspiration for the Help Line came from Taylor Armstrong, a star of the hit reality show “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
Holidays often trigger excessive drug abuse and drinking. Last holiday season Taylor and her financier husband Russell Armstrong learned that a close family member had a serious substance abuse problem. They called Malibu Beach Recovery Center CEO Joan Borsten for support. Borsten worked with the Armstrong's to bring the family member to treatment. A year later that family member has a new life and the Armstrong's are part owners of the innovative treatment center.
“I encourage people to make the call,” said Taylor, “no matter what your economic situation or geographic location. I know how frightening it is, trying to make the right decision when you don’t even know what to ask. What they will get is a good listener who knows a lot about intervention and treatment and can help them find a good solution. Some questions to ask are: How do I get someone to go to treatment? How do I choose the right treatment program? How long should someone remain in treatment? How can an interventionist help?”
Added CEO Borsten: “At Taylor’s behest, we have readied a network of interventionists, rehabs and sober livings.”
Families and those in need of treatment can also email questions to mailto:taylor@malibubeachrecovery.com
TAYLOR ARMSTRONG WILL SERVE AS AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE CENTER
| Malibu, CA (November 8, 2010) – Joan Borsten, CEO of Malibu Beach Recovery Center, announced today that Taylor and Russell Armstrong have acquired an equity interest in the exclusive alcohol and drug rehabilitation clinic based in Malibu, CA. Taylor Armstrong, a star of Bravo’s hit television series "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills", will serve as an ambassador on behalf of Malibu Beach Recovery Center. Taylor and her venture capitalist husband, Russell Armstrong, took a keen interest in Malibu Beach Recovery Center after they successfully sent a family member through a 90-day treatment program in 2009. Malibu Beach Recovery Center is owned by Borsten, an entertainment and business executive, and her husband, Oleg Vidov, one of Russia’s most acclaimed actors. "Before marrying Russell, Taylor worked for Pfizer, one of this country’s leading pharmaceutical companies,” said Borsten. "Her background makes her an ideal ambassador for the Malibu Beach Recovery Center as she understands the cutting edge neuroscience that is the basis of our treatment system and can easily explain how it works to addicts and their families and health care professionals alike. With Russell on board, we have the benefit of his business acumen allowing us to begin licensing the Malibu Beach Recovery System to other treatment centers across the country." "For a long time," explained Taylor "we knew that something was wrong with our family member”. “We often felt that we were being emotionally terrorized. When we discovered she was an addict, suddenly everything made sense.” "We have seen firsthand that addiction is a disease of the brain, and that both drugs and alcohol create neurological imbalances causing an addict to stop thinking and acting like a rational person,” continued Taylor Armstrong. “We chose the Malibu Beach Recovery Center because its goal is to quickly and efficiently begin to repair the addict’s brain chemistry through holistic means. The results were almost immediate and thus far lasting. By becoming equity owners, we can proactively help make the Center’s system of treatment available to people from all walks of life."  Way to go Taylor, thats why we love you so much :) |
