n.d. Web.

Richard Sine is an editor, writer, and consultant and is currently specializing in
health and business writing. He has been on the staff of The Philadelphia Inquirer along
with The Cambodia Daily. He is associated with a reputable institution or organization
including WebMD. This article that he wrote relates to my subject regarding rehab and
he is currently specializing in health writing. Also, this article really backs up how rehab
can transform a person which in turn backs up the statement regarding if a person can
have a second life. This article is a first edition copy.
I intend to use this article in order to help me prove a point that it is possible for a
person to have a second life especially when it comes to rehab because people decide
to turn their lives around and come out a completely different person when they leave.
There will be multiple quotations used from this article.

Smith, Melinda M.A. "Choosing a Drug Treatment Program." Choosing a Drug
Treatment Program.
N.p., Apr. 2016. Web. 15 Apr. 2016.
Melinda Smith works in the Department of Biology at Colorado State University.
She is a Professor and director. Most of her research focuses on understanding the
consequences of human caused changes. She is indeed associated with Colorado

Wilson 2

State University which is included as a reputable organization and it is well known. In

her article, it gives good facts for choosing a rehab clinic and what to expect to receive
from going there. This article has been kept up to date all the way up to April 2016, This
article has been revised in order to keep as up to date as possible and give out all the
current, useful facts.
I believe that this article will help me present my side on how a person can live
two lives because it shows what to expect to receive from that clinic and what the clinic
is supposed to do for you. It also guides you into what you are specifically going into
rehab for and gives you recommendations there.

"Drug Rehab Treatment Information." What Is Rehab? Rehab.com, n.d. Web. 24 Apr.
2016
Rehabs.com involves different people who all have a list of certain requirements
in order to publish their work on this website. All of the publications are focused on
Rehab and all the information that comes along with it. Rehabs.com is a well known
website that allows many different users find out all the information they need when
considering rehab. All of the information ranges from either questioning if youre
addicted to finding places to help. The goals of the institution are to provide information
for those suffering with substance abuse and to connect those people with the
treatment programs that can help them. Rehabs.com was founded in 2011 and is
currently undertaking the largest known data collection. It is a first edition publication
and it is continuously updated.
I am planning on using this website/source in my research by showing what
rehab is really about. Rehabs.com provides plenty of information on all the information
about rehab needed and all the available places people can go to, to gain the help they
need.

abuse and mental health treatment program ranging from teens to adults. All of the
institutions or places Mr. Wagener has worked at are all reputable and have goals to
help others. This source is also currently dated and keeps up with all of the information
it receives even if that means revising what they already have on their website. This
website together is a first edition of this publication and it continues to stay up to date on
all information it has included.
I plan on using this website to show that rehab really does work. I also plan on
using this website to really showcase that aftercare is essential to success and plays a
key part in the beginning in a second life of your life.

Sack, David. "Why Didn't Drug Rehab Work? 5 Wrongs That Don't Make a Right."
Addiction
Recovery. N.p., n.d. Web. 24 Apr. 2016.
David Sack is currently Chief Medical Officer at Elements Behavioral Health. He
went to Rush Medical College where he then received his medical degree. He then
went on to complete a residency involving Psychiatry at UCLA Neuropsychiatric
Institute. Previously, he had been a senior clinical scientist. Most of his research
consists of alcohol dependency, opiate detoxification, schizophrenia, depression,
insomnia, and cognitive disorders. To continue, he is board certified in topics involving
Psychiatry, Addiction Psychiatry, and Addiction Medicines. All of these are revolving
around my subject of Rehab and all the studies show and prove it. Along with all the
research Dr. Sack has completed, he has also designed programs.
I am planning on using the information I found from the paper he wrote to use as
my opposing view. He explains 5 different points on how rehab doesnt work along with
why it doesnt work. In his explanations, he makes it very thorough and easy to
understand and identify what went wrong for any person reading the site.
