Avisa Recovery is pleased to be a leader in addiction and substance abuse care in the State of New Jersey - at their combined inpatient and outpatient treatment facility, they perform comprehensive substance use disorder therapies alongside other mental health treatments and holistic therapies.

Following the announcement, Avisa Recovery is specifically reaching out to members of the LGBTQIA+ community in New Jersey because they understand that the community is uniquely impacted by substance abuse issues. As the latest figures from American Addiction Centers affirmed, today, LGBTQ adults are more than twice as likely as heterosexual adults to use illicit drugs and almost twice as likely to suffer from a substance use disorder.

Avisa Recovery also understands that there are many reasons for this problem, including that LGBTQ Americans are more likely to be the victims of discrimination, harassment, and even hate crimes. Many LGBTQIA+ individuals also avoid seeking help for their substance abuse issues because they fear the discrimination they may experience in a traditional rehab clinic.

The welcoming, empathetic, and highly qualified team at Avisa Recovery stresses that their center is different and they describe themselves as being a community for all. As one representative said, “We believe everyone should have access to quality care and at Avisa we seek to continuously identify and address systemic barriers that prevent marginalized populations from accessing care.”

If an individual who is suffering from a substance abuse disorder seeks treatment at Avisa Recovery, they will have access to both a completely individualized treatment plan and advanced medical care, including a supervised detox and an intensive therapy regime. The center also uses peer recovery plans and other holistic wellness therapies that seek to treat the whole person, not just their symptoms or condition.

Avisa Recovery admits patients from across New Jersey and their center's therapies are accepted by many insurance companies.

A spokesperson for the substance use disorder therapy center said, “We offer comprehensive and effective care that addresses the complex and delicate nature of mental health and substance use disorders. We strive to help individuals achieve sustained recovery and improved quality of life. Our multifaceted treatment plans address the healing of the entire individual; including their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual needs.”

Yolanda Hopkins upsets World No. 3 Gabriela Bryan to reach WSL Championship Tour Philippines Pro quarterfinals

MANILA, Philippines —  World No. 14 Yolanda Hopkins pulled off a major reversal, knocking out World No. 3 Gabriela Bryan to advance to the quarterfinals of the inaugural World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour Philippines Pro at the iconic Cloud 9 reef break in Siargao on Saturday. Hopkins came through in Heat 2 of the women's competition, posting a combined score of 10.10 from waves worth 5.27 and 4.83 to eliminate the highly-ranked American and arrange a quarterfinal showdown with World No. 6 Caitlin Simmers in the event presented by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), with the support of Surigao del Norte Gov. Robert Lyndon Barbers, General Luna Mayor Johnson Sajulga and Vice Mayor Romina Sajulga. Bryan, finished ninth with a total of 7.00, combining scores of 4.00 and 3.00 to collect 2,000 championship points. The competition unfolded under four- to six-foot waves, giving the world's best surfers challenging conditions to display their skills, while calm winds helped maintain a steady lineup. Also making her way into the quarterfinals was Simmers, who dominated fellow American and World No. 11 Caroline Marks in their opening-round encounter. Simmers posted an impressive 15.17 on a 9.00 and a 6.17. Marks could only managed 9.00 from waves scoring 5.50 and 3.50 and likewise settled for ninth place with 2,000 championship points. Beyond her impressive performance, Simmers expressed her admiration for Cloud 9, describing the famed Siargao break as one of her favorite surfing destinations because of the technical challenges and opportunities it offers.  “Honestly, I keep telling people it's one of my favorite waves on the planet because it's just really tight, and you kind of have to do some exciting things in the spaces you get. It's pretty hard to just do your stock-standard couple of turns on it,” said Simmers. The American explained that Cloud 9 demands creativity and precise timing, as its changing sections can force surfers to adjust their approach while looking for opportunities to execute difficult maneuvers. She also singled out the wave's end section as a promising spot for aerial moves, expressing hope that the world's top female surfers would take advantage of the opportunity to showcase their skills. “I think I'm just hoping all the girls do airs because these are the best surfers in the world, best women in the world. And I know every single one of them can do an air on that end section. It's just a matter of timing, really,” she said. Simmers believes the challenging but rewarding nature of Cloud 9 could produce spectacular performances as the competition progresses, particularly with the world's best women surfers battling for a place in the next round. The event is also supported by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), Department of Tourism (DOT), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), and NEA/SIARELCO.
