Los Angeles, United States - February 6, 2024 /PressCable/ —

Bend, Oregon is about to be home to an addiction treatment program whose concept was inspired by one of its owner’s journey to sobriety. Situated in the upscale community of Somerset, Recover Together Bend (RTB) will offer customized inpatient care at its five-acre, 15-bed residential facility. After detox, clients undergo 30 to 90-day programs involving individual, group, family and experiential forms of therapy. Each patient’s treatment plan, which is customized to meet their individual needs, is designed with long-term sobriety as a goal. After “graduating,” clients are encouraged to resume treatment by participating in RTB’s alumni and mentorship programs.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ranks Oregon #1 in the nation for methamphetamine and prescription opioid misuse while alcohol is the most misused substance in the state, with a little over 12% of Oregonians suffering from alcohol use disorder. Oregon’s youth are not exempt from the epidemic. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration estimates that 26% of people age 12+ have used marijuana in the last year, with some 47.28% of those 18-25 having experimented with the drug.

RTB is a family-run enterprise. Husband/wife team Marvin Ament, MD and Judith Brill, MD head the organization that includes son, Michael, an attorney who serves as Co-CEO and manager of the facility; and his brother and Co-CEO Zack, whose own experience in substance misuse led to a career in the field. His initial endeavor, Westwind Recovery with several locations in Los Angeles, has been lauded by Newsweek Magazine for its novel approach and efficacy in treating those with substance misuse issues.

Westwind Recovery approaches addiction recovery uniquely by treating substance use and mental disorders simultaneously. While mental health care might include medication, individual and group therapy, lifestyle changes and peer support, substance use treatment may involve detoxification, managing withdrawal symptoms, undergoing behavioral therapy and participating in support groups like AA to maintain sobriety. Another key to recovery is experiential therapy in which recovering addicts replace getting high with healthy activities like working out, hiking, weekend BBQs, horseback riding, dinners out on the town, weekend trips, etc. And another particularly important key is volunteering as therapy in which the addict finds the value of being in service to others. When the focus is no longer on themselves but those on the other end of their efforts, the addict develops a greater sense of self-worth.

Clamor tapped as head coach of Altas Spikers

LAS PIÑAS CITY — Multi-titled volleyball coach Dexter Clamor took over as the new head coach of the University of Perpetual Help men’s volleyball team in preparation for NCAA Season 102 this year. He replaced Michael Cariño, who handled the Altas Spikers for the past two seasons. Clamor is bringing along former Perpetual Help players Sandy Montero and EJ Casaña as part of his coaching staff. Clamor, who hails from Mariveles town in Bataan, was a public school teacher by profession before he transitioned as coach for the Cignal HD Team that won six Spikers’ Turf championships. “Well, when they called me and offered the position, honestly, I was surprised. But at the back of my mind, I felt that maybe it’s time to give back to my alma mater,” Clamor said. “I want to share my knowledge and experience that I gained from playing and coaching volleyball to the Altas team. I want to help them grow, not just as volleyball players, but also as individuals.” Returning for the team this year are John Castil, Dexter Arrozado, Klint Mateo, Charles Pallasa, James Pascua, Justin Favila, Ike Jolaton Nash Abenoja, 2nd Best Middle Blocker awardee Jester Bornel and last season’s Rookie of the Year Marc Tangon. They are joined by rookie players Daryll Torio, Dave Borasca, John Penaroyo, JP Noblefranca, Steven Corpuz, Josh Cubar, Dino Espiritu and Marius Calijan. “One of my biggest goals is to bring back the championship culture here, the same legacy that Coach Sammy [Acaylar] had left us,” Clamor added. “For the past two seasons, we failed to reach the semis, so I know this is a big challenge for the coaching staff. But I see it as an opportunity to help rebuild the program, develop the players, and bring Perpetual Help back to where it belongs.” “For me, it’s more than just accepting a coaching position. It’s about giving back to the school that helped shape me, and doing my part to bring pride and success back to the Altas program,” he said. Clamor led Perpetual Help win back-to-back NCAA championships during his collegiate playing years in seasons 86 and 87. As the star setter and leader for the Altas Spikers, Clamor enjoyed a historic collegiate career where he was also awarded the league’s Most Valuable Player and Best Setter in season 87. Alongside teammates Marcelo Joaquin Jr., Jay Dela Cruz and Adam Daquer, the Altas Spikers swept the tournament at 14–0, securing the school’s seventh men’s volleyball title under the guidance of legendary coach Acaylar. Last year, Perpetual Help topped the elims in Group A with 10-3 win-loss record and earned the twice to beat advantage in quarterfinal round. The Carino-coached team, however, lost twice to Letran and failed to advance. Perpetual Help is the winningest team in NCAA volleyball with 14 championships under the guidance of Acaylar. The Altas Spikers last won the NCAA crown in 2024.
