There's an App for that
When I say “that” I mean everything, including recovery.  Here are a couple that I use and really enjoy.  There are a few more out there but they are not rated very high, and really don’t look as professional and user friendly as these.  A La Ha app is on my wish list but it might be awhile.  If you have any ideas for our app I would love to hear them!

The Doc Spot with Dr. Dan
So, I always like to have something visual to go with my posts.  However, with this one it was better that I didn’t…. Good news for those who suffer from Chronic Hepatitis C.  The FDA has released a new drug that will be combined with Interferon and Ribavirin, called Victrelis.  This is an oral medication, it has to be taken 3 times a day with meals.  It does have the side effect of...

One for you, two for me
At least that’s the way I shop.  :) Are you looking for that perfect gift for your friend in recovery?  Or maybe you keep a wish list for yourself?  Either way here are a few ideas…. These girls were in San Antonio at the World Conference, they had a booth right across from La Hacienda in Sober Ranch.  I wanted everything they were selling!!  The jewelry is beautiful and...

Treatment for Families
Addiction is a family disease.  Thankfully, there are all kinds of resources out there.  One is an Intensive Workshop.  Intensives usually last 5 to 7 days and there are workshops for every area of life.  I am a huge fan of intensives and in the future plan to highlight some in different areas of recovery.  Today I am highlighting Family Intensives.  Your family might be in need of a tune up or...

An Intern Perspective...
Hello, my name is Kristin Zerr and I am an intern at La Hacienda currently working on my LCDC.  I have been working here 10 months so my perspective is fairly new.  I never get tired of looking at the view out here and watching lives change because of the wonderful program that we have to offer.        My treatment knowledge was very limited before I started working here.  My idea of a treatment...

The Doc Spot: Off the Clock with Dr. Layne
You may be asking yourself what do chili’s have to do with anything….meet Dr. Layne, if you haven’t already.  He is another great inspiration on our medical team!     Hi Alumni!  At the moment I have two things going on off the clock.  First, I have done medical missions to Mexico for 25 years, and I’m now putting the finishing touches on a history of the mission.  It will be...

Staying Spiritual with help from the La Ha Store
Growing spiritually is part of the program and here are some books that can help. A New Pair of Glasses is an oldie but goldie.  I think I have read it at least 3 times. The Life Recovery Bible is for people who want to integrate their Christian faith with a 12-step way of life. Daily Reflections is a meditation book that I am sure all of you know.  In fact, you probably already have it.  Is...

Doc Spot: The Docs off the Clock
Just when I thought they couldn’t be any more fabulous……the Boone’s continue to help others and have fun while doing it!  Who knew Dr. James had award winning fishing skills, and Dr. Dan knew his way around a bowling alley? The Annual JP Griffon Fishing tournament was held recently out of Port Mansfield, with close to 400 anglers attending in the largest in-shore tournament in the state. The...
