This is a list of some of the most commonly asked questions when people are considering options on alcohol treatment in Oregon. Though the treatment program in Oregon is quite diverse, these are some very generic questions and their answers.

Q1. What are the various options for alcohol treatment in Oregon?

There are several options here. The mildest form of treatment is obtained through the outpatient treatment program. Here you won’t have to live in the treatment center, but will have to visit the center for several days a week. The actual number of times you will have to visit will depend on the policies of the center. Then there is a day treatment program where you visit the center on an almost daily basis, but you continue living at home. This program is well suited for people who are having some obligations such as a job or an educational course that they do not want to let go as they are getting their alcohol treatment.

The other options are more stringent. There are options for inpatient treatment here, both with or without the detox program. The ones that have the detox program will medically cleanse the body from the alcohol that must have accumulated in it over the years of the addiction and then embark upon a counseling program that will help people come out of their dependency completely. The ones without the detox will only depend on the counseling program. They might have an affiliation with an outside center for detox which they will refer the patient to if his or her condition demands it.

Then there is the rehab program. This is a complete program that contains the detox and the counseling. The patient lives in the treatment center. Most centers do not make a differentiation between the inpatient detox and the rehab program.

But for people who are with the most intense forms of addiction, the treatment program known as the residential treatment program will be the most suitable. This is a program where the patient lives in a community format. This is not just a treatment program; it is a complete lifestyle changing program that shows patient how they can overcome their addiction and look at living a better life.

Q2. When does a detox treatment become compulsory during alcohol treatment in Oregon?

Usually detox treatment is not compulsory when you are looking for alcohol treatment in Oregon. But some centers will make it compulsory under certain conditions. If the patient has been with the addiction since several years or if the usage of the substance has been quite frequent and quite high in volume, an inpatient detox becomes necessary because the accumulated toxins have to be removed from the body if the treatment has to have any sustainable effect. Also, if the patient has been analyzed to have some chronic health condition, inpatient detox becomes compulsory. The same is the case for patients who are diagnosed with some mental conditions. This is because it is necessary to remove all incidences of the addictive substance (alcohol in this case) from the body of the patient in order to make it lose its craving for it.

Q3. Can I go for a holistic program for alcohol treatment in Oregon?

Yes, you may, but you have to remember some points. Remember that most of these holistic programs are run in private treatment centers, which means you will usually end up spending a lot more than with a state approved program. Secondly, you will have to fend for the payment and cost of the treatment yourself because there will be no state backing and you may also not get an insurance cover for such programs. But the most important thing is that the holistic programs are not yet approved by the state, which means you will be going ahead with a program that is not quite guaranteed to succeed.

In order to get a complete list of the qualified treatment programs in Oklahoma (actually on a nationwide basis) and to understand how these programs are conducted, you can visit the websites of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the National Institute of Drug Abuse and the National Clearinghouse where all these programs are clearly explained.

Go ahead with the holistic programs for alcohol treatment in Oregon only if you are completely sure what these programs will provide you with and you are sure that you will be comfortable with their implementation.

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard

Nashville, Tenn. (Vocus) May 13, 2010

In remarks today at the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions’ “A Day with the Commissioner,” St. Louis Fed President James Bullard discussed the U.S. economic situation and provided an overview of the Tennessee economy. He also repeated his call for regulatory reform that enhances the Fed’s regulatory authority and maintains its ability to remain at arm’s length from politics.

The State of the U.S. Economy

“We are seeing continued signs of recovery for the U.S.,” Bullard said in his presentation, “The U.S. Economic Situation and Regulatory Reform.” In particular, he noted that real gross domestic product has surpassed pre-crisis levels and is expected to reach its 2008 second quarter peak before the end of this year.

“Real consumption of nondurables and services held steady during the recession and has increased,” Bullard said. “While real investment had declined more than 30 percent at one point during the recession, it is now improving.” He added, “We have had five positive employment reports in the past six months, which is evidence that labor market conditions are slowly improving,” and noted that he expects this trend to continue going forward through the spring and summer. Bullard also said the U.S. has led G-7 economies in productivity improvements since 2007, and that “U.S. monetary policy remains extremely accommodative.”

One risk to the outlook is the sovereign debt crisis in Greece, Bullard said. “The crisis in Greece has escalated and spread, leading to volatility in world markets,” Bullard explained. “This is causing a flight to safety, depressing U.S. Treasury yields.”

He added, “Some of this flight to safety reversed after the announcement of major initiatives by EU governments over the weekend,” and although LIBOR-OIS spreads — a measure of market stress — have increased during the recent weeks, they are “nowhere near 2008-2009 peaks.”

Bullard also noted that the debt burdens of U.S. states are an order of magnitude lower than typical European sovereign debt burdens.

Tennessee’s Economy

Turning to Tennessee, Bullard addressed the state’s economic situation.

“Like nearly all states, Tennessee’s state government is facing a budget crisis in 2010, which will be more challenging than it was in 2009,” Bullard said, noting that in 2009, Tennessee’s total tax revenue was nearly 9 percent lower than in 2007, the year before the recession began.    

Bullard noted that in percentage terms, Tennessee’s job losses during the recession have been higher that the U.S. as a whole. “At the beginning of the recession, Tennessee’s unemployment rate was higher than that of the U.S., and it also rose by more during the recession, reaching nearly 11 percent last summer,” Bullard said. “It has since begun to drift down along with the U.S. unemployment rate.”

On the foreclosure front, Bullard said, “The foreclosure wave for the U.S. peaked through 2009 and began to fall by the end of the year. At its peak, the U.S. foreclosure rate was about 3.5 times its 2005 level. Tennessee’s foreclosure rate rose more steadily and less sharply and ended 2009 a bit below its high of about 1 percent.”

Financial Regulatory Reform

As the debate continues in Congress over financial regulatory reform, Bullard said that under the current system, “Regulation works well for the thousands of community banks in the U.S. This system features deposit insurance plus prudential regulation, and also allows failure — capitalism at work — but prevents bank runs and the associated panic.”

In addition, Bullard noted, some reform proposals would have created a “Wall Street-only” Fed.

“The Fed should remain involved with community bank regulation so that it has a view of the entire financial landscape,” Bullard explained. “It is important that the Fed does not become biased toward the very large, mostly New York-based institutions.”

He further explained, “Community banks tend to fund smaller businesses, an important source of job growth for the economy. Understanding the entire financial landscape helps the Fed make sound monetary policy decisions.”

“The Federal Reserve’s regional structure was designed to keep some power out of New York and Washington and allow for input on key policy questions from around the U.S.,” he said. “Some proposals for auditing monetary policy would have diminished the independence of the Fed. Allowing short-term politics to mix too closely with monetary policy leads to poor economic outcomes. The consequences for the U.S. and the global economy would be large. No one would be served well by this outcome.”

Quick, name the city in the United States that offers nurses the most career opportunities. If you guessed New York City, you hit the nail on the head. In 2005, there were nearly 70,000 jobs for skilled nurses in New York City. But there’s more to the demographic than just numbers. When it comes to nursing jobs, New York is number one in more ways than one.

Salaries

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean salary for a registered nurse nationally is ,810. In New York, 72% of all registered nurses are earning more than ,000 annually. The average salary for a registered nurse in New York is ,000 as compared to the national average of ,840. (all statistics from BLS). A licensed practical nurse can count on a salary in the ,000-,000 range. New York is the single top market for nursing jobs across the country.

Flexibility

Registered and licensed nurses have incredible flexibility in work schedules and types of jobs. Nursing jobs in New York offer a wide range of opportunities that can fit nearly anyone who enjoys working with and helping people. There are nursing jobs available at prestigious teaching hospitals and universities, at inner city clinics, at upscale doctor’s offices and in schools or with the health department. A New York nurse might specialize in obstetrics or dermatology, in pediatrics or oncology or in any one of myriad other specialties. Nowhere else in the world is there such a wide variety of nursing jobs available.

Scheduling is every bit as flexible. As hospital and other medical facility administrators try to cope with the shortage of nurses (predicted to hit 800,000 by 2020); they’ve started offering schedules that fit anyone’s way of life. It’s not unusual for a nurse to work three twelve hour shifts in a week and have four days off, or work just weekend nights – for a premium salary.

Career Options

New York has a lot to offer nurses in the way of career opportunities and continuing education. The state is home to some of the best teaching hospitals in the world. Nurses who are ready to move on will find it easy to make a lateral move to a different type of nursing, or to climb the career ladder in nearly any nursing specialty field imaginable. Here are just a few ‘non-traditional’ New York nursing jobs.

Community Health Nurse

Not all nurses work in hospitals and nursing homes. Community health nursing jobs in New York include on site nursing in transitional residences, or home visit nurses who help people stay in their homes rather than ending up in a nursing home or institution. Working in community health can include being part of ground-breaking research, combating an unexpected epidemic or teaching new young mothers how to care for their babies in their own homes.

Policy Makers

For nurses who want to make a difference on a wide scale, there are many nursing jobs that include opportunities to help make policy. Nurses are integral team members at insurance companies, in government and on hospital boards. As a consultant to city and town councils, nurses help ensure that patient and family needs are met when the big companies make policies that affect nursing and medical care.

Occupational Health Nursing

More and more large businesses are including an on site nurse on their payroll. Occupational health nurses may work for a single company, doing preventive and assessment nursing, or work for a clinic or rehabilitation facility helping patients recover from sports and work-related injuries, or learn to live with limitations caused by their medical conditions. New York is at the forefront of many trends in nursing, and a nurse who chooses to specialize in occupational health will find many nursing jobs in New York.

Teaching Specialties

Nurse educators are very much in demand in any large city, and New York is no exception. Whether teaching nursing in a formal nursing school or delivering continuing education in the form of in-services and specialty courses, there’s a place for a nurse with a talent for passing on knowledge to others.

In short, New York has a little of everything for those interested in pursuing a nursing career. From rural nursing to inner city health, there are thousands of open nursing jobs in New York.
