I went to this Juno Beach Florida place for Alcohol Rehabilitation my drinking was way over the top again, out of control ! This was Dec 2010. I had been there 4 years ago and I wasn't paying attention but they have this quackery called "Dual Diagnosis" and they gave me some shrink label during the process of detoxification from alcohol and a drug called Xanax I had been getting for sleep from my doctor . It (xanax) worked rather well in the beginning.
vXanax Withdrawal Symptoms May Include:
abdominal pains, aching, agoraphobia, anxiety, blurred vision, body vibrations, changes in perception, feeling of unreality, flu-like symptoms, hair loss, heart palpitations, insomnia, loss of balance, , nightmares, panic attacks, paranoia, persistent & unpleasant memories, severe headaches, shaking, short term memory loss, sound & light sensitivity, unusually sensitive, fear.
4 years ago these clowns gave me Zyprexa !
They had given me a psyciatric label of some sort during this process of withdrawal back then and wanted me to take dangerous shrink pills again dec 2010. I knew better this time. neuroleptic withdrawal syndrome from zyprexa was no joke. Nothing anyone would ever want to repeat.
Look at this paste directly from there website:
Multiple diseases often co-exist in a single client. Co-existing disorders, commonly termed Dual Diagnosis, can be identified during the evaluation process. It is important to address any and all ailments that can cause difficulty for clients in treatment so that strong and permanent sobriety can be achieved and maintained.
"Dual Diagnosis, can be identified during the evaluation process" They say on there site.
During the process of drug and alcohol withdrawal ? ?
Look at just the XanaX withdrawal symptoms ! I see half a dozen psychiatric labels in that list alone. some clients may well have mental health issues that have been unaddressed and overshadowed ** addiction.This is what is called disease mongering. - "Overshadowed ** addiction" may
They threw me out of Ocean Side Treatment center for refusing psychiatric drugs 3 weeks into my recovery. I told them I want sobriety not psychiatry. Im in the "Professional clinicians" office asking "why should I take this seroquel?" I hate the way it makes me feel. "how about trying risperdal"? These professional clowns "stephen gumley" and Lynda keep returning my question with a question in response, That classic conversation diversion thing . I stood my ground and asked "what, if I don't take shrink pills I have to leave"? They said "medication compliance", Wait What ? We think you may have a chemical imbalance.
It would go against everything I believe to put toxic shrink pills in my body and call it sobriety. I let them throw me out before doing that, I made them do it in front of everyone cause I had not broken any rules and my new friends didn't believe me when I told them why I had to go.
It was HUMILIATING and uncalled for. I was singled out as a lesson to the others.
Oceanside Treatment Center is a joke run ** these clowns . I'm crazy ? I didn't get a Refund that's crazy.
Dual Diagnosis = Psychiatric disorder
Psychiatric disorders are not medical diseases. There are no lab tests, MRIs brain scans, X-rays or chemical imbalance tests that can verify any mental disorder is a physical condition. This is not to say that people do not get depressed, or that people can’t experience emotional or mental duress, but psychiatry has repackaged these emotions and behaviors as “disease” in order to sell drugs. This is a brilliant marketing campaign, but it is not science.
To make this story more clear, 4 years ago they gave me and others Zyprexa "for anxiety" and I experienced major Zombification and had most of the side effects so I had to have the experienced of neuroleptic withdrawal syndrome when I quit that evil ###.
When I went back in Dec 2010 after a relaps on alcohol. I wanted nothing to do with and had every right to refuse neuroleptics and any shrink drugs, I even wrote neuroleptics on my drug allergy list... the 1st day !
These clowns didn't think neuroleptic withdrawal syndrome is an allergy or the possibility of dyskinisa was an important concern to me. "Med compliance" as a chance to send a lesson to the others was more important.
Thank God I didn't have any thing like a DWI/DUI pending like many who were there or I really would have felt the pressure to take part in experimental pharmacology.
Med complience violation = No refund
Scam !

This Psychiatric Diagnosis Abuse Report Form is for your protection. You can fill out this form and provide it to your legal representative and insurance carrier to take further action.
Anyone diagnosed with a psychiatric (mental) disorder and/or their parent or guardian has the right to informed consent before any treatment is undertaken. Unlike diagnoses for medical conditions, psychiatrists do not have blood tests or any other biological tests to ascertain the presence or absence of a mental illness. It is important to know that according to one state government medical manual, “Mental health professionals working within a mental health system have a professional and a legal obligation to recognize the presence of physical disease in their patients” and to rule out any physical condition causing “a patient’s mental disorder.”
Psychiatrists rarely conduct thorough physical examinations to rule out medical conditions, thereby misdiagnosing the patient. This can result in inappropriate and dangerous treatment, added to the fact that the real underlying medical condition is left untreated. Treatment for alleged mental illness is also extremely expensive to you or to your insurance company.
Further, if a psychiatrist asserts that your mental condition is caused by a “chemical imbalance” in the brain or is a neurobiological disorder, you have the right to ask for the lab test or other test to prove the accuracy of that diagnosis.
