CARE Florida, a holistic-based drug rehab clinic, has developed a personalized approach to drug and alcohol &amp;quot;detox&amp;quot; methods blended with a no-cold turkey attitude toward detoxification and recovery.

			<description><![CDATA[A&amp;#38;E Network today announced the launch of The Recovery Project, a wide-ranging, multi-year initiative designed to help raise awareness that addiction is a treatable disease and recovery is possible.  More than 22 million Americans*  struggle with addiction to alcohol and other drugs, yet fewer than ten percent receive the treatment they need because of stigma, lack of awareness or cost.  The Recovery Project - inspired by the incredible response from viewers, individuals and families in recovery to the Emmy-nominated documentary series Intervention -- strives to shed light on the scope of the addiction crisis, and its impact on society.  The Recovery Project kicks off on Saturday September 27th with a public celebration organized in partnership with the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD) in New York City. (eMediaWorld Sep 17, 2008)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[While Heart Disease, Cancer and HIV remain the most prominently known diseases, there are several  other diseases which are equally debilitating, although affecting a significantly smaller population. In several rarer diseases, the challenge is to obtain quality information about the disease as there is only a limited amount of patient data available at one location. Web based Technology is changing all this. Healthcare researchers specialized in these diseases, can now  collaborate across cities, states, provinces and countries to equip themselves with quality information. Information about prevention, control and treatment can be collected and disseminated using web technologies across the globe, while not compromising the security and privacy of patient information. Datazoom Solutions based out of Mississauga, Ontario, has created a software product and platform that provides the security, robustness and performance to facilitate clinical research into rarer diseases.
