If you have been following the news recently you have probably heard the stories coming out of Boston regarding the owner of a group of drug addiction treatment centers who was recently arrested for Medicare fraud. While I won't go into details of the story, it has served to give a black eye to the entire industry of addiction treatment. Right or wrong, individuals associate the actions of one doctor with the field as a whole. This means all of us within the profession must now work harder than ever to make sure we are above scrutiny. Addiction treatment is a very complicated entity - not only from the treatment standpoint, but also the business standpoint. Center operators must adhere to a long list of regulations dealing with accounting, record keeping, medical reimbursements, and so on. With just one little slip up on an administrator's part, a drug addiction treatment program could be plunged into collapse overnight. For patients and their families, it's important to know that what happened in Boston is the exception to the rule. This has been gen er ated by GSA C ontent Gen erator DEMO.
Almost every addiction treatment center and program of any reputation is very careful in following the law in all aspects of their business. Not only that, the professional staff working at America's clinics pour their hearts and souls into their clients, making every effort to help them break the cycle of drug addiction. Very few would purposely do something in violation of the law that might jeopardize the well-being of addicts. It is unfortunate that business interests sometimes clash with treatment objectives, but that is in no way a reflection of treatment programs themselves, or the professionals who administer them. Addiction treatment centers exist to provide care and support for addicts regardless of the business aspects of making a center work. We need to give the benefit of the doubt to individual programs and their staffs, that they will help their patients in an ethical and wavedream.wiki responsible way. As those in the addiction treatment profession have gained additional knowledge and skills, programs around the country are realizing higher rates of success in direct proportion. More and more programs are reaching individual addicts and helping them reclaim their lives through a variety treatment methods. Not only that, they are helping them through support and aftercare in the weeks and months following the completion of a residential treatment program. Yet in order for clinics to succeed, they also need to make sure they maintain proper business practices. What has happened in Boston has resulted in the closure of a large number of clinics that served thousands of clients. Experts are warning of a possible flood of clients into other programs as well as high rates of relapse among patients who are unable to enroll somewhere else. Hopefully we have all learned a lesson in the concept of doing things right. We need to do so not only for the health of our industry, but more so the health of our clients.

William Wyler's Roman Holiday crosses the postcard genre with a hardy trope: Old World royalty seeks escape from stuffy, ritual-bound, lives for sneakers a fling with the modern world, especially with Americans. "And Introducing Audrey Hepburn". With that credit, William Wyler‘s Roman Holiday set off a special bombshell in the world of Hollywood stardom, one that announced a major film personality and instantly showered her with an Oscar, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe, and a New York Film Critics Circle Award. On this side of the Audrey legend, nearly 70 years later, we can perceive that the hubbub was justified. As issued on Blu-ray in a remastered 4K transfer for the Paramount Presents line, the film is clearly a showcase for two elements of grace, class, and beauty: Hepburn and Rome. Aside from introducing Hepburn, the credits declare proudly that the film was entirely shot and recorded in Rome. This sign of Hollywood’s postwar internationalism also signals a revolution in travel brought about by a burgeoning airline industry, which began promoting the possibility of far-flung vacations to middle-class Americans.
Hollywood created many tourist or vacation movies, as it was still cheaper for most audiences to travel by cinema. Jean Negulesco‘s Three Coins in the Fountain (1954) and shoes David Lean‘s Summertime (1955) were both shot in Italy soon after Roman Holiday, this time in glorious Technicolor. There were even films implying that pilots and stewardesses (today called flight attendants) lived a glamorous life among the "jet set". Roman Holiday crosses this new postcard genre with a hardy trope: the idea of Old World royalty who seek to escape their stuffy, ritual-bound, politically threatened life for a fling with the modern world, the New World, and especially Americans. This kind of fairy tale had been told in such charmers as Norman Krasna’s Princess O’Rourke (1943) with Olivia de Havilland and Amazon Beauty Robert Cummings, and Richard Thorpe’s Her Highness and the Bellboy (1945), with Hedy Lamarr and Robert Walker. Roman Holiday feels like the set-up of Princess O’Rourke combined with the resolution of Her Highness and the Bellboy.
