Online Addiction Resource Connecting Individuals With Addiction Specialists

SANTA ANA, Calif. - Sept. 18, 2018 - PRLog -- Beginnings Treatment Centers, a Southern California drug and alcohol addiction treatment center, now provides free access to a multifaceted interactive online educational initiative titled Ask an Addiction Specialist. The elements of the program are moderated by Dr. Bob Weathers, an eminent Southern California psychologist, recovery coach, and addiction specialist.

"Most rehabs immediately try to convert any contact into a paying admit for their treatment center.", said Tom Nemat, CEO of Beginnings. "This can discourage people who may not be ready to make a decision. Our goal is to provide answers for anyone struggling with addiction, and especially their families and loved ones, without the high-pressure sales tactics."

"Addiction is a deadly disease, but the good news is that recovery is possible if a person and their loved ones have the best information, so they can make the best choices." said Dr. Bob. "I'm here to answer any questions from the perspective of an experienced addiction clinician, and not to try to sell someone on our program, because our program may not be the best choice for them."

The Beginnings Treatment Centers Ask an Addiction Specialist educational initiative (https://beginningstreatment.com/ask-an-addiction-specialist/) links addiction specialists and professionals with those who have questions about addiction, recovery, and other related issues. A Facebook group is available 24 hours a day, and various clinicians will respond depending on the question asked and the specialization required to provide the best answer. The exceptional addiction treatment team at Beginnings includes multiple Ph.D. and Masters level clinical staff, so the optimal resources are always available.

In addition, a live session on addiction topics with an addiction specialist and noted psychologist Dr. Bob Weathers occurs every Wednesday at 3 PM PST on the Ask an Addiction Specialist Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/AskAnAddictionSpecialist/).
