The benefits of Detoxification to various drugs: The process it takes to detox

The benefits of Detoxification to various drugs is the starting point of a meaningful treatment of drug addiction

With the advent of drug addiction in our societies, efforts are being made every day to deliver lasting solutions to this problem of drug addiction. One of the treatment processes of drug addiction is detoxification which is seen to be the first step. Of course this comes after the patient has come to the acknowledgement of the problem thereby giving the authority to commence any meaningful recovery treatment process. Somebody ones ask me that “what are the benefits of detoxification to various drugs if the victim is in denial?” surely this is worthy and we want to build on it to establish the real benefits that will come as a result of detoxification process. We are privileged to have Dr. Akoury, a veteran expert in addiction, MD and also the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center which is one of the leading pioneers in natural and holistic addiction treatment in US to take us through the discussion of unlocking the truths about the benefits of detoxification to various drugs. This expert has been of help to many in her over two decades of practice and she will be the same to you. All you need to do on your part is to schedule for an appointment with her now for the commencement of your journey to drug addiction recovery.

And now to the discussion doctor Akoury says that medical detoxification is a process that applicable in the systematic and safe withdrawals of people from addictive drugs. The process of detoxification is not a home-made thing but it is a medical process which is usually done under the care of a physician. It is important to note that drinking alcohol or using drugs can cause physical dependence over time and stopping them can result in withdrawal symptoms in people with this dependence. The detoxification process is therefore designed to eliminate the immediate bodily effects of stopping drug use and to remove toxins left in the body as a result of the chemicals found in drugs being abused or alcohol.

The benefits of Detoxification to various drugs: The plat form of doing detoxification

It is important to note that this treatment process of detoxification is done in close supervision by the physicians and it can be done on both an outpatient basis at mental health centers, addiction clinics or private clinics or inpatient at a hospital or residential treatment center.

Inpatient detoxification allows the patient to be closely monitored, prevents use of the substance of abuse, and can speed up the process of detoxification.
Outpatient detoxification has the advantage of being less disruptive to the patient’s life and less expensive.

The choice of setting depends on many factors such as the drug of abuse, amount and length of history of abuse, psychosocial issues, patient’s age, and co-existing medical and/or psychiatric conditions among others. While treatment centers often have their own detoxification facilities, others make arrangements for their patients to use detoxification programs at nearby sites, including hospitals and clinics. There are several substance of abuse but for the purpose of our understanding of the importance of detoxification doctor Dalal Akoury is going to shade some light on the following:

Alcohol detoxification
Cocaine detoxification and
Opiate detoxification

The benefits of Detoxification to various drugs: Alcohol Detoxification

We have already mentioned that medical detoxification is a process that is used to systematically and safely withdraw people from addicting drugs, usually under the care of a physician. And that drinking alcohol or using drugs can cause physical dependence over time and stopping them can result in withdrawal symptoms in people with this dependence. We also mentioned that the detoxification process is designed to treat the immediate bodily effects of stopping drug use and to remove toxins left in the body as a result of the chemicals found in drugs or in alcohol.

The intensity of the problem is that many patients struggling with drug addiction are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms during withdrawal from alcohol and can undergo detoxification without medications if they receive supportive care and monitoring. However experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center conquers that inpatient medical detoxification services are the most appropriate for alcoholics who are at risk for serious complications of withdrawal or those with co-existing medical conditions. In consultation with your doctor, it is advisable that these patients and those with previous alcohol withdrawal seizures, delirium tremens, or moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms should receive benzodiazepines to reduce the risk of adverse events. Remember that other than benzodiazepines, other medications have also been used in the detoxification process including clonidine, which can help reduce symptoms such as tremor, mild depression, elevated blood pressure, anxiety and tension, and carbamazepine, an anticonvulsant medication used to prevent seizures or delirium.

Even though time spent with the doctor is the only difference between inpatient and outpatient detoxification, studies has established recently that, outpatient detoxification has also shown to be as effective as inpatient treatment and less costly for people with less severe alcoholism. This requires daily follow-up and monitoring. It is therefore worth noting that outpatient detoxification is commonly performed by using a tranquilizer such as chlordiazepoxide 50 mg, oxazepam 15 to 30 mg, diazepam 10 mg, or lorazepam 2 mg every 6 hours for the first 24 hours. However additional medication can be provided as is medically necessary and doses can be decreased as symptoms resolve. Supportive care for patients undergoing detoxification includes providing treatment for nutritional and electrolyte deficiencies, monitoring withdrawal severity and abstinence, and providing referrals to alcoholism recovery programs and self-help meetings. All these are services that on scheduling for an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury will all be at your disposal.

Finally we have only discussed alcohol detoxification in this article, nevertheless we are going to continue with the discussion with the remaining two in our next article and I know you don’t want to miss that too. In the meantime it is also important to note that doctor Akoury is also running projects including trainings through organized conferences for professionals in the addiction discipline. Currently AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, one of the leading pioneers in natural and holistic addiction treatment, will be conducting the first Educational, Functional and Integrative Addiction conference for doctors, counselors, nurses and addiction therapists. The conference will be August 23-25 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This new frontier in Addiction Medicine will be conducted by the most influential group of leading visionaries specializing in the latest advances in natural and integrative addiction medicine, under the theme “The Future of Integrative Addiction”. This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss, for more information you can log in to www.integrativeaddiction2015.com or email sharon@integrativeaddiction2015.com. We will be glad to have you in the conference and it will be great to learn from the best of the best who are specializing in the latest advances in natural and integrative addiction medicine.

Addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment: The implications of denial

Addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment is just the beginning of the long journey of drug addiction solution

Almost everybody today is aware of the problems that are associated with drug addiction. The worry is, even with the knowledge of addiction, the problem seems to be gaining ground day in day out. The time has now come for all of us to support the campaign that is wording towards addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment by all means. We spoke to one of the veteran experts in addiction doctor Dalal Akoury about this and this is what she had to say. In her line of duty doctor Akoury acknowledges that the prevalence of drug addiction is worrying and very little is being done at least in relation to other diseases. Noting that there is a gap, Dr. Akoury made a decision to create a medical center whose main objective is to transform each individual’s life through increasing awareness about health and wellness and by empowering individuals to find their own inner healing power. Dr. Akoury’s practice focuses on personalized medicine through healthy lifestyle choices that deal with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of patching up symptoms. This is one of the mile stones in addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment and the sooner you get the problem solved the better not just for you but to the whole family and even to the society. And now let us get into the discussion of finding out the remedies of some of the known challenges.

Addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment: Long-Term Residential Treatment

One of the ways of addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment is by taking the long-term residential treatment that provides care 24 hours a day. This is generally in non-hospital settings. The best-known residential treatment model is the therapeutic community (TC) with planned lengths of stay of between 6 and 12 months. The focus of this is on the “re-socialization” of the individual and uses the program’s entire community including other residents, staff, and the social context as active components of treatment.

In most cases addiction is viewed in the context of an individual’s social and psychological deficits, and with that treatment will focus on developing personal accountability and responsibility as well as socially productive lives. Under this concept, treatment is highly structured and can be confrontational at times, with activities designed to help residents examine damaging beliefs, self-concepts, and destructive patterns of behavior and adopt new, more harmonious and constructive ways to interact with others.

Addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment: Short-Term Residential Treatment

Short-term residential programs provide intensive but relatively brief treatment based on a modified 12-step approach. These programs were originally designed to treat alcohol problems however during the cocaine epidemic of the mid-1980s many began to treat other types of substance use disorders. The original residential treatment model consisted of a 3- to 6-week hospital-based inpatient treatment phase followed by extended outpatient therapy and participation in a self-help group, such as AA. Following stays in residential treatment programs, it is important for individuals to remain engaged in outpatient treatment programs or aftercare programs. These programs help to reduce the risk of relapse once a patient leaves the residential setting.

Addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment: Outpatient Treatment Programs

Outpatient treatment varies in the types and intensity of services offered. The cost of treatment is minimal than residential or inpatient treatment and often tailored for busy people with jobs or extensive social supports. It should be noted, however, that low-intensity programs may offer little more than drug education. Other outpatient models, such as intensive day treatment, can be comparable to residential programs in services and effectiveness, depending on the individual patient’s characteristics and needs. In many outpatient programs, group counseling can be a major component. Some outpatient programs are also designed to treat patients with medical or other mental health problems in addition to their drug disorders.

Addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment: Individualized Drug Counseling

Individualized drug counseling not only focuses on reducing or stopping illicit drug or alcohol use; but it also addresses related areas of impaired functioning such as employment status, illegal activity, and family/social relations as well as the content and structure of the patient’s recovery program. Through its emphasis on short-term behavioral goals, individualized counseling helps the patient develop coping strategies and tools to abstain from drug use and maintain abstinence. The addiction counselor encourages 12-step participation (at least one or two times per week) and makes referrals for needed supplemental medical, psychiatric, employment, and other services.

Addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment: Group Counseling

Many therapeutic settings use group therapy to capitalize on the social reinforcement offered by peer discussion and to help promote drug-free lifestyles. Research has shown that when group therapy either is offered in conjunction with individualized drug counseling or is formatted to reflect the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy or contingency management, positive outcomes are achieved.

Addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment: Treating Criminal Justice-Involved Drug Abusers and Addicted Individuals

Finally many at times drug abusers come into contact with the criminal justice system earlier than other health or social systems, presenting opportunities for intervention and treatment prior to, during, after, or in lieu of incarceration. Research findings have shown that combining criminal justice sanctions with drug treatment can be effective in decreasing drug abuse and related crime. Individuals under legal coercion tend to stay in treatment longer and do as well as or better than those not under legal pressure. Studies show that for incarcerated individuals with drug problems, starting drug abuse treatment in prison and continuing the same treatment upon release in other words, a seamless continuum of services results in better outcomes: less drug use and less criminal behavior. And remember that in all matters relating to drug addiction treatment, you will need an experienced professional in drug addiction to help you with all your concerns. You could want to schedule for an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury today for the commencement of your recovery.

Addressing the challenges of drug addiction treatment: The implications of denial

The complexity of drug addiction treatment

The complexity of drug addiction treatment: The prevalence of drug addiction

The complexity of drug addiction treatment can be very costly if preventive measures are not taken timely

The complexity of drug addiction treatment is as complex as the addiction itself. Professionals at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center says that drug addiction is a multifaceted disorder that can encompass virtually every aspect of an individual’s life functioning in the family, at work, school and in the community. When victims of drug addiction are in denial of their situation, it even becomes more difficult and frustrating to have the problem addressed with some degree of seriousness. In her over two decades of experience in this line of addiction, doctor Akoury says that because of addiction’s complexity and inescapable consequences, drug addiction treatment characteristically must involve many components. Some of those components will focus directly on the individual’s drug use while others, like employment training, focus on restoring the addicted individuals to productive membership in their families and society enabling them to experience the rewards associated with abstinence.

The experts in addiction are in agreement that treatment for drug abuse and addiction can be delivered in many different settings using a number of behavioral and pharmacological approaches. In the United States for example, there are more than 14,500 specialized drug treatment facilities providing treatment, counseling, behavioral therapy, medication, case management, and other types of services to people struggling with substance use disorders. These are worthy steps in handling the complexity of drug addiction treatment and more still needs to be done. Like for instance, alongside these patients needs to individually visit their physician’s offices for specialized treatment besides visiting mental health clinic for mental assessment and treatment. Such services are available if only the right personnel can be identified. When seeking for all these, it is important to note that treatment of drug addiction can be administered in various ways including in outpatient, inpatient, and residential settings. And remember that although specific treatment approaches often are associated with particular treatment settings, a variety of therapeutic interventions or services can be included in any given setting.

The complexity of drug addiction treatment: Types of Treatment Programs

It is true that everything we do medically should be backed by some research findings and that is why many studies on addiction treatment have classified programs into several general types or modalities. Nonetheless treatment approaches and individual programs continue to advance and diversify. With these advancements many programs today do not fit precisely into traditional drug addiction treatment classifications says doctor Akoury. Majority of treatment being administered normally start with detoxification and medically managed withdrawal which is considered to be the first stage of treatment. However detoxification being the process, by which the body clears itself of drugs, is intended to control the acute and potentially dangerous physiological effects of stopping drug use. Remember that detoxification alone does not address the psychological, social, and behavioral problems associated with addiction. This means that on it alone, it may not typically produce lasting behavioral changes necessary for recovery. Therefore detoxification should be done but must also be followed by a formal assessment and referral to drug addiction treatment.

Doctor Akoury says that since detoxification is often accompanied by unpleasant and potentially fatal side effects stemming from withdrawal, its management becomes very necessary and this can be done with the medications administered by a physician in an inpatient or outpatient setting which often referred to as “medically managed withdrawal. It is therefore very important to note that medications are only available to assist in the withdrawal from opioids, benzodiazepines, alcohol, nicotine, barbiturates, and other sedatives which can really ruin your life if not addressed in good time. And as a concern individual, if you know of anyone who is straddling with drug addiction whether they are in denial or not, you can be the bridge of help to them by scheduling for an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury for commencement of their recovery journey. But in the meantime it is also important to note that AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center being one of the leading pioneers in natural and holistic addiction treatment, is not just working towards helping individual patients but also running programs tailored to meet the needs of professionals handling drug addiction patients.

And for that reason, AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center will be conducting this year the first ever Educational, Functional and Integrative Addiction conference for doctors, counselors, nurses and addiction therapists. This conference is a must attend for you as a professional and it will be held in August 23-25 at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The Philosophies of Drug Addiction Treatment

June 17, 2015

The Philosophies of Drug Addiction Treatment: Addressing some of the pertinent concerns

The Philosophies of Drug Addiction Treatment includes all known remedies of treating all the chronic conditions related to substance abuse

A lot has been said about drug addiction in terms of creating awareness and offering solutions to the ever increasing problem globally. And even though several efforts to contain this problem are underway, a lot more needs to be done. In our effort is dealing with this problem, we have chosen to continually inform the public through this plat form and other media about the magnitude of the problem we have found our self in all in the name of drug addiction. In particular, we want to focus on the philosophies or drug addiction treatment and respond to some of your concerns in the most direct and professional way says doctor Dalal Akoury MD and also the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center which is one of the leading pioneers in natural and holistic addiction treatment. We have aligned several questions which when all are responded to, then you will be well equipped with all the necessary tools you need to defeat drug addiction says doctor Akoury. Meanwhile as we get into the discussion you may want to talk to doctor Akoury for more insight on matters relating to substance abuse, the opportunity is available and you can schedule for an appointment with her anytime of your choice.

The Philosophies of Drug Addiction Treatment: Is there a difference between physical dependence and addiction?

In response to this concern the answer is definitely yes. Drug addiction or compulsive drug use despite harmful consequences that comes with it, it is also characterized by helplessness and difficulty in quitting the use of the drugs in question; failure to meet work obligations and set deadlines, social responsibilities and family obligations; and occasionally and depending on the drug tolerance and withdrawal. The latter is a bit sensitive as it reflects on physical dependence in which the body familiarizes with the drug thereby demanding for more of it to achieve a certain effect of tolerance and eliciting drug-specific physical or mental symptoms if drug use is abruptly terminated (withdrawal). This is about drug addiction and on the other hand physical dependence is different in the sense that it can happen with the chronic use of many drugs including many prescription drugs even when taken as instructed by the physician.

It therefore means that, physical dependence alone does not constitute addiction however it is an accompaniment of addiction. This distinction can be difficult to differentiate, particularly with prescribed pain medications, for which the need for increasing dosages can represent tolerance or a worsening underlying problem, as opposed to the beginning of abuse or addiction.

The Philosophies of Drug Addiction Treatment: How do other mental disorders coexisting with drug addiction affect drug addiction treatment?

Doctor Akoury says that drug addiction is not just a chronic problem but one which affects the brain quite frequently alongside other mental disorders. The magnitude of this problem is evident according to the available statistics that in every 10 people struggling with drug addiction, 6 will also be suffering from another mental illness and the same is replicated for users of licit drugs like tobacco and alcohol.

For these individuals, one condition becomes more difficult to treat successfully as an additional condition is intertwined. Thus, people entering treatment either for a substance use disorder or for another mental disorder should be assessed for the co-occurrence of the other condition. Research indicates that treating both (or multiple) illnesses simultaneously in an integrated fashion is generally the best treatment approach for these patients.

The Philosophies of Drug Addiction Treatment: Is the use of medications like methadone and buprenorphine simply replacing one addiction with another?

No. Buprenorphine and methadone are prescribed or administered under monitored, controlled conditions and are safe and effective for treating opioid addiction when used as directed. They are administered orally or sublingually (i.e., under the tongue) in specified doses, and their effects differ from those of heroin and other abused opioids.

Heroin, for example, is often injected, snorted, or smoked, causing an almost immediate “rush,” or brief period of intense euphoria, that wears off quickly and ends in a “crash.” The individual then experiences an intense craving to use the drug again and again to stop the crash and reinstate the euphoria.

The cycle of euphoria, crash, and craving sometimes is repeated several times in a single day is a hallmark of addiction and results in severe behavioral disruption. These characteristics result from heroin’s rapid onset and short duration of action in the brain.

In contrast, methadone and buprenorphine have gradual onsets of action and produce stable levels of the drug in the brain. The good news about this is that, patients maintained on these medications do not experience a rush, while they also significantly reduce their desire to use opioids.

If an individual treated with these medications tries to take an opioid such as heroin, the euphoric effects are usually dampened or suppressed. Patients undergoing maintenance treatment do not experience the physiological or behavioral abnormalities from rapid fluctuations in drug levels associated with heroin use. Maintenance treatments save lives they help to stabilize individuals, allowing treatment of their medical, psychological, and other problems so they can contribute effectively as members of families and of society.

The Philosophies of Drug Addiction Treatment: The role in drug addiction treatment process

Exercise is increasingly becoming a component of many treatment programs and has proven effective, when combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy, at helping people quit smoking. Exercise may exert beneficial effects by addressing psychosocial and physiological needs that nicotine replacement alone does not, by reducing negative feelings and stress, and by helping prevent weight gain following cessation.

The Philosophies of Drug Addiction Treatment: The effects of drug addiction treatment in reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C (HCV), and other infectious diseases

There is no doubt that those individuals who are abusing drugs either through injection or other means are increasingly risking their life for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and other infectious diseases. Since these diseases are transmitted by sharing contaminated drug injection equipment and by engaging in risky sexual behavior sometimes associated with drug use. Effective drug abuse treatment will result in HIV/HCV prevention by reducing risky activities that can spread the disease like sharing injection equipment and engaging in unprotected sexual activity.

Finally the discussion we have heard in this article about the philosophies of drug addiction treatment is not the end of the problem of drug addiction, but just an opportunity we have given to you so that you are aware of some relevant information in containing the bigger problem. Even with this knowledge, it is still very important that you get to involve the services of a professional when it comes to matters relating to drug addiction. This is very important because no individual can go through the process of addiction recovery alone. Therefore you can use this opportunity to schedule for an appointment with doctor Akoury for assistance.

The distinction between drug addiction and Crime

June 16, 2015

The distinction between drug addiction and Crime: Offering the much needed solution

The distinction between drug addiction and Crime is quite debatable whether to treat or prosecute

Most of the drugs that are commonly abused are not only addictive, but are also illegal. Their users are sometimes very much helpless and all that they need is a helping hand in their illicit behavior. We have organizations who are doing all it takes to rehabilitate these people back into the society as sober and productive people. This they do with a lot of legal, emotional and psychological challenges. The challenges come as a result of the illegality of these drugs that are constantly being abused by most addicts. To such groups, these people needs help and not to be locked behind bars while at the same time the law is and must be seen to be applicable to everybody equally and with lots of transparency. This is the dilemma most of us are finding themselves in hence the need to get to the distinction between drug addiction and crime and especially those crimes that are associated to substance abuse.

In this regard it may be a very difficult topic to discuss but all the same, we are still going to discuss it with the help of doctor Dalal Akoury MG and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center. We have already seen that the law must take it full course yet again addiction is also a problem that needs to be fixed. The one million dollar question is the jail the best place for helping hard core drug addicts? I don’t think so addicts need to be in hospital and not in jails because even though jails are said to be correctional facilities, they do not offer the perfect environment for treatment of any form of addiction. Most convicts are very angry not just with the authority for their predicaments bur are also anger with their loved ones and friends who initiated the court proceeding that led to their being imprisonment.

The distinction between drug addiction and Crime: Addiction and Crime Punish or treatment

The big question in this context is to punish or not to punish and the other side of it reads that to treat or not to treat. These are the dilemmas that many of the civil societies and even the various governments are struggling with. I really don’t know what is going on in your mind right now but before we continue in that direction of establishing the proper distinction between drug addiction and crime, the problem of drug addiction is a thorn in the flesh of everyone and jail or hospital a lasting solution must be found. Experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center are not keen in being drugged into the debate of prison or rehabilitation because they have made a conscious decision to attend to the problem as it is.

People suffering from addiction are our children, mothers and fathers and the business of treatment is our priority says doctor Dalal Akoury MD and also the founder of the facility. The primary objective of this facility is to transform each individual’s life through increasing awareness about health and wellness and by empowering individuals to find their own inner healing power. Dr. Akoury’s practice focuses on personalized medicine through healthy lifestyle choices that deal with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of patching up symptoms. Therefore if you are struggling with any form of addiction, then you can schedule for an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury today for the commencement of your treatment. That is our goal and we want to do it to all people professionally and in confidence.

The distinction between drug addiction and Crime: The professionals’ conference

Besides offering treatment to all patients AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Akoury’s care also focuses their effort on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE. By offering exclusive NER Recovery Treatment to all people including other physicians and health care professionals through training, clinical apprenticeships, webinars and seminars doctor Akoury is succeeding in delivering the much needed solution to the problem at hand. Therefore any qualified professional can now be a part of this truly successful and fast addiction recovery treatment that is only growing from strength to strength. And as a matter of fact AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, one of the leading pioneers in natural and holistic addiction treatment, will be conducting the first Educational, Functional and Integrative Addiction conference tailored for professionals including doctors, counselors, nurses and addiction therapists. The conference will be held in August 23-25 at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This new frontier in Addiction Medicine will be conducted by the most influential group of leading visionaries specializing in the latest advances in natural and integrative addiction medicine, under the theme “The Future of Integrative Addiction”. This is such an opportunity that you don’t want to miss for more information on about the details of the conference log in to www.integrativeaddiction2015.com or send an email to sharon@integrativeaddiction2015.com

The distinction between drug addiction and Crime: The grieving society

The debate about what to be done for the addicts will continue because people will never think the same and that is natural. Therefore the grieving society may feel that people who have committed criminal offences be made to pay for their crime irrespective of whether they were under the influence of drugs at the time of crime or not nonetheless from the medical desk it is a unanimous agreement that people who have committed crimes in order to pay for their addiction may surely benefit more from help by administering treatment to them rather than having them locked up in the prisons. The challenge or problem with prison is that while these offenders are confined in these facilities, it is always believed that they will not have any access to the drugs thereby making their rehabilitation much easier but many at times this is not the case, there is evidence that drugs can be accessed in prison easily through corrupted officers who smuggle in drugs to the prisoners even in their confinement, meaning that the vicious circle continues because such convicts are still able to continue with their bad addictive habit. And for this reason it is not about the distinction between drug addiction and crime or what punishment to give but administering treatment for lasting solutions that will kill the re-occurrence of the vicious circle. To do this talk to us at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center and we will be of great help to you.
