I am just curious as to what kind of opinions people have on the treatment of celebrities and high profile people when it comes to their substance abuse. I know that personally I feel that they should be treated just like anyone else. In treating them different I feel it is hurting them in the long run. It is only allowing their addictions to progress and make their situations worse. Please tell me what you feel about the INCB's statements on the issue and your own opinions.

I just want to start out by saying welcome!!!
In this post I am going to give you a little background information about myself and what my goals are for the GWR weblog.
My name is Chris Holloway and I am a cd-tech at Gray Wolf Ranch. Not only am I an employee but I am also an alumni of the program. In being an alumni and an employee at GWR I have a unique perspective on the goings on at the ranch. It also allows me to connect with the residents on a whole different level. I know exactly where they are coming from and what struggles they are facing while they are here.
The basic goal of this blog is to engage in discussions about alcoholism and the treatment field. I will be posting discussions about the latest ideas in the treatment field. I encourage everyone to discuss freely their opinions on everything i post here.
I would also encourage you to tell me how we can better our communication as to what is going on here. Feel free to float some ideas out there!!
Another big thing for me is that I want to learn more about the "blogosphere". This is a completely new thing for me. So again feel free to give me advice and throw out some ideas for future posts that you would like to see discussed.
Again I thank you for all your support of GWR. Without you we wouldn't be here!!
