CITA Biomedical Licenses Innovative Treatments for Alcohol, Cocaine, and Crack Dependence to Major California Medical Center
Freedom Treatment Center Treating Patients Successfully Since Early July


BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CITA Biomedical, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DTOX) a growing leader in the treatment of addiction dependency, today announced that it has signed a license agreement with Freedom Treatment Center in Southern California. The agreement enables Freedom Treatment Center to provide CITA's Detoxification and NeuroAdaptation (DNA) for Addictions family of treatments. Freedom Treatment Center has been successfully treating patients with DNA for Addictions since early July. 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.

"DNA for Addictions family of treatments is an important option for our patients and community," said Dr. Morris Loffman, neurosurgeon and managing partner of Freedom Treatment Center. "Because this is the only service of its kind in this area, our community now has the most advanced and effective treatment options available to them. More important, the service is provided in a medical center setting and safely administered by Freedom's staff of very experienced doctors."

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.

"We are pleased to be working with Freedom Treatment Center and its highly competent medical staff, to provide the DNA for Addictions family of treatments to their community," said Joseph Dunn, president and CEO of CITA Biomedical. "Treating both the physical and psychological components of addiction are key to DNA for Addictions' success and what sets DNA apart from other treatments. By working together, CITA and Freedom Treatment Center are able to offer high quality, safe, and cost effective addiction treatment services."
