The Elevate Experience

Nitrous oxide, often seen as a harmless "party drug," is a silent killer on the rise. In this powerful episode of The Elevate Experience, we expose the shocking dangers of "whippets" and "laughing gas," revealing how this easily accessible substance is leading to severe health consequences, from brain and nerve damage to even death.   From its use in whipped cream canisters to its serious abuse, we break down what nitrous oxide is, why it's so addictive, and the devastating long-term effects it has on the body and mind. You’ll hear about real-life cases, including a driver caught with a tank of nitrous, and learn about the severe B12 deficiency and psychological dependency this drug can create.   This is a must-watch for anyone who believes nitrous oxide is a safe high. We dive into the signs and symptoms families can look for and emphasize that this is a serious addiction that requires professional help.   Need Help for Yourself or a Loved One?

Welcome back to the Elevate Experience! In this week's episode, we're sitting down with Seth and Nate to talk about helping families understand what their loved one is going through during their addiction treatment.  When a family sends their loved one to rehab to get treatment, they may not realize that their loved one is gradually changing and working on themself day-by-day to get better. The family may only remember what their loved one did to hurt them. They aren’t at treatment to see all of the positive changes that are occurring. In this podcast episode, you’ll find out why it’s important to be patient with your loved one as they are healing and how Elevate keeps families informed on the progress that their loved one is making during the program. You’ll also hear Seth and Nate’s personal experiences about how everything started to “click” and make sense as they progressed through the program. And if you or a loved one need help with addiction, tune in to find out how you can get the help that is needed to start recovery today.   We hope you enjoy the show.

Welcome back to the show! In part two of this episode, Seth sits down with Gregory Fry, one of the counselors at Elevate, for a discussion about making successful habit changes in your life.    Denial and rationalization are some of the common defense mechanisms used by those struggling with drug addiction. Trying to help someone get the help they need to break free from drug or alcohol addiction can be challenging. More often than not, the person you want to help doesn’t see a problem even when their whole world is falling apart around them. How do you help someone who is in denial? How do you help someone to see that there is a problem and that they need help? It’s a process. Elevate Addiction Services gets to the root of addiction on an individual bases with each client by getting them to examine their true self so they can then make a decision to choose recovery. Here’s an inside peek at how so many lives are turning away from substance abuse and choosing a life of recovery.   We hope you enjoy the show.
