Leading Chemical Dependency Recovery Center Successfully Begins Treating Patients With CITA Biomedical's Innovative Treatments for Alcohol, Cocaine, And Crack Dependence LCM Chemical Dependency Recovery Center Treats First DNA for Addictions Patient for Alcoholism
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CITA Biomedical, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DTOX) a growing leader in the treatment of addiction dependency, today announced that Little Company of Mary (LCM) Chemical Dependency Recovery Center in San Pedro, California successfully began treating patients using CITA's Detoxification and NeuroAdaptation (DNA) for Addictions family of treatments. The first patient was treated for alcoholism with CITA's DNA for Alcohol. The DNA for Addictions treatment family includes DNA for Alcohol, DNA for Alcohol and Cocaine, DNA for Cocaine, and DNA for Crack Cocaine. CITA has patents pending for the family of DNA treatments.
The patient, a 55-year-old male who had been dependant on alcohol for 43 years was treated with DNA for Alcohol. The patient was consuming an average of one quart of alcohol daily. "I've tried several programs including Betty Ford, St. Joseph's, and I've been in and out of AA," said the patient. "The DNA for Alcohol treatment is miraculous! I continue to have no desire to drink and can't even remember what alcohol tastes like." The treatment was administered to the patient for less than an hour daily over two consecutive days and he experienced no withdrawal symptoms.
DNA for Addictions establishes a new treatment regimen in the fight against drug addiction, a disorder that impedes normal neural functioning of the brain and body systems as a whole. Addiction causes cravings, possible brain damage, and can lead to potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms. Historically, the disorder of addiction has been treated only through behavioral intervention, but the CITA DNA treatment provides a solution for treating both the physiological and psychological components of this devastating disease.
DNA for Addictions patients experience a less than 25 percent relapse rate, compared to a more than 75 percent relapse rate generally associated other accepted means of treating addiction. The new treatment was also shown to reduce the time, pain, and costs associated with withdrawal, and allowed the patients to return to a productive level of functioning within hours of the treatment's completion.
"Now that we have multiple centers serving California we're ready to open centers across the United States," said Joseph Dunn, president and CEO of CITA Biomedical. "The patient testimonial from LCM Chemical Dependency Recovery Center is similar to comments from all our patients treated so far. Treating both the physical and psychological components of addiction are key to DNA for Addictions' success and what sets DNA apart from any other treatments."

Leading Chemical Dependency Recovery Center to Offer CITA Biomedical's Groundbreaking Treatments for Alcohol, Cocaine, and Crack Dependence
San Pedro Hospital's Peninsula Chemical Dependency Recovery Center to Begin Treating Patients in Early October 2002
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CITA Biomedical, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DTOX) a growing leader in the treatment of addiction dependency, today announced that it has reached an agreement with Little Company of Mary-San Pedro Hospital (LCM-SPH) in Los Angeles County, California to provide CITA's Detoxification and NeuroAdaptation (DNA) for Addictions family of treatments.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19990413/LAPHOTO )
The San Pedro Hospital's Peninsula Recovery Center will start treating patients with DNA for Addictions in early October. The DNA for Addictions treatment family includes DNA for Alcohol, DNA for Alcohol and Cocaine, DNA for Cocaine, and DNA for Crack Cocaine. CITA has patents pending for the family of DNA treatments.
"We are pleased to add the DNA treatments as an option for our patients suffering from substance dependency," said Dr. Crescenzo Pisano, Medical Director of LCM-SPH Peninsula Recovery Center. "The DNA technology now allows us to treat addiction at the source, providing renewed hope for those who were previously unresponsive to former treatment attempts. The combination of CITA's treatments and our recovery services provides our community with the most advanced and effective treatment options available, safely administered by our specially-trained medical professionals."
Addiction is a brain disease/disorder and DNA for Addictions treats addiction at the source. Historically the disease of addiction has been treated through behavioral intervention, but DNA for Addictions treatments provide a solution for treating the physiological and psychological components of this devastating condition. Substance abuse impedes normal neural functioning of the brain and body systems as a whole; resulting in cravings, potentially serious or even life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, and damage to the brain. The CITA DNA treatment reduces or eliminates cravings while correcting and regulating the neural functioning.
By providing successful detoxification and neural adaptation solutions that reduce the time, severity, pain and cost associated with withdrawal, the DNA for Addictions process allows the patient to concentrate on returning to a productive level of functioning in a very short time. DNA for Addictions treatments occur over two to three days, depending on the addiction(s) being treated. The process is performed under medical supervision followed by a continuing care program.
Completion rates for the DNA treatment process far exceed standard detoxification solutions, approaching a 100% completion rate. DNA for Addictions treatments have a relapse rate of less than 25%, in contrast with a relapse rate exceeding 75% for those people treated by other methods.
"By working together, CITA, LCM-SPH, and its highly competent medical staff are able to offer high-quality, safe, and cost-effective substance dependence recovery services," said Joseph Dunn, president and CEO of CITA Biomedical. "CITA's mission is to make the transition from substance dependence to independence as quick, smooth and humane as possible. With DNA for Addictions we've done that. We plan to continue to partner with leading treatment centers in order to make the DNA for Addictions treatment family widely available across the U.S. and Canada."

Patient Treated for Alcoholism With CITA Biomedical's Proprietary Treatment Program to End Alcohol Dependence Remains Craving Free, No Withdrawal Symptoms, No Cravings for Alcohol
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Aug 7, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- CITA Biomedical, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DTOX) a growing leader in the treatment of substance dependency, today announced that the first U.S. Detoxification and NeuroAdaptation (DNA) for Alcohol patient continues to be craving free one month after treatment. DNA for Alcohol is a part of a family of treatments called DNA for Addictions. The DNA for Addictions treatment family also includes DNA for Cocaine, DNA for Alcohol and Cocaine, and DNA for Crack Cocaine. CITA has patents pending for the family of DNA treatments.
The patient said he is the happiest he has been in his life. He has even been able to enter a bar and have no desire for an alcoholic drink. Treated with DNA for Alcohol at the beginning of July the patient, a 62-year-old male who had been dependant on alcohol for over 40 years was consuming an average of 1.5 liters of gin, brandy, and beer a day. He is now saving the money he once spent on alcohol. The treatment was administered to the patient over two consecutive days where the patient experienced no symptoms of withdrawal.
DNA for Alcohol establishes an accelerated alcohol treatment in the fight against alcoholism, a disorder that impedes normal neural functioning of the brain and body systems as a whole. Alcoholism causes cravings, possible brain damage, and can lead to potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms. The disorder of alcoholism has historically been treated only through behavioral intervention, this is in contrast to CITA's DNA for Alcohol treatment which provides a solution for treating both the physiological and psychological components of this devastating condition.
Patients treated in Europe last year experienced a less than 25 percent relapse rate, compared to a more than 75 percent relapse rate generally associated other accepted means of treating alcoholism. The new treatment was also shown to reduce the time, pain, and costs associated with withdrawal, and allowed the patients to return to a productive level of functioning within hours of the treatment's completion.
"Treating both the physical and psychological components of alcoholism are key to DNA for Alcohol's success and what sets DNA apart from other treatments," said Joseph Dunn, president and CEO of CITA Biomedical. "We anticipate that the benefits this patient is experiencing will also be realized by the thousands of patients we plan to treat for alcohol dependence in the coming year. CITA's mission is to make the transition from substance dependence to independence as quick, smooth and humane as possible, with DNA for Addictions we've done that."

Park your Sub at the iHub - Bub; ....the experience might just "...float your boat..." !!
I contacted a responsible "..dependency treatment physician.." in Des Moines about this subject, here is his response:
sorry for the delay, but i needed to consult an expert in treatment methodology.
the expert said, "The consensus is that there is no such treatment for
cocaine. NIDA has been researching one for years without success."
however, it is possible that the subject treatment may someday be proven
effective. the key will be recognition by the professional treatment
community and appropriate government agencies.
### #####
So, they are skeptical, but willing to look at documented results.
I don't think I'd fill up the footlocker with this one quite yet.
