READ THESE PERSONAL TESTIMONIES FROM DR. BUTKINS' CLIENTS

"Dr. Butkins played an integral part in my recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction. He provided me with knowledge about the disease of addiction and taught me how to overcome the triggers that would lead me to go out and use or drink. Dr. Butkins is a very knowledgeable, respectable, and professional counselor. He truly cares for his clients and you can tell from the minute you first meet him that he is a man who has genuine concern for the addict and is willing to do what it takes to help you. I am forever grateful to Dr. Butkins for teaching and giving me the tools necessary to maintain my recovery from alcohol and substance abuse." John - Orlando, FL January 2009

“I met Dr. Butkins when I went to a counseling session with my alcoholic husband about 2.5 years ago. He is a highly skilled professional and is very knowledgeable on the disease of alcoholism and its affect upon the families of alcoholics. When we met, I was sick with worry and fear, angry, and unhappy. Living each day in fear of what awful thing would happen next, both my mental and physical health were beginning to suffer. When my husband went off to a rehabilitation center, I continued to see Dr. Butkins. As he challenged my thinking and attitudes and encouraged me to recognize and deal with my feelings, my mind began to open and allow me to look at life situations and the disease of alcoholism in ways that would never have occurred to me on my own. He sent me to Al-Anon where I found other people affected by a loved one’s alcoholism that were working the 12 Steps and willing to help me in my recovery. Today, there is less worry and fear in my life and more serenity. I know that Dr. Butkins’ skill, wisdom, and compassion guided me to this better way of living. I will be forever grateful.” Karen, Lake Mary, Florida

"Dr. Pete probably saved my life 7 months ago when I came to him in October, 2005. He has a great talent in evaluating problems and making you aware of them. He has helped me turn my life around and helped me see things about myself that I have been able to work on; he also helped me help others. It is the best money I have spent in many years. Thank you for being there for me." Richard A. March, 2006

"Dr. Butkins has been treating me since I was in middle school; later on at 19, (he helped me again) I had to see someone I felt comfortable with. He talks to me like a friend, not a doctor. I choose him over any other (counselor) because I look forward to seeing him; he’s just like one of my own friends. He’s very real, but not in your face;he doesn’t sugarcoat, but he’s very understanding and kind. He will help you make progress through anything and leave you feeling better than when you came in."
Jerry K. April 2006

"Dr. Butkins is the best thing that ever happened to me. I would have been dead a long time ago if it were not for him. I drank way too much and wanted to die. He has brought me through a lot; because of him I can handle anything and I love myself today." Janie D. April, 2006

"Dr. Peter Butkins has provided much needed support and direction during emotional turmoil in my life."
Ken H. - Longwood, FL April, 2006

"Dr. Butkins is an amazing guy. He has helped me so very much. When I first came to him I was ready to give up on life. With his help and guidance I pulled myself up. I’m now accepting a full paid scholarship to Stetson. Dr. Butkins saved my life. Thanks for everything." Ann A. - Orlando, FL April, 2006

4	Stop Her Addiction WHAT DOES NOT WORK Addiction creates seven (7) ways of coping that do not work. They function as defenses and not ways to cope. These are all included in my counseling topic on "Healing, a direction for escaping". Five of these ways of coping are: * Being addicted to out of control behavior. This does not work * Coaxing, persuading her to stop or cut back. This does not work. * Operating from fear. This does not work. * Fighting. She will see this as a way to control her. This does not work. * Justifying the problem. This does not work.	259
5	Teen Drug Abuse When we started this web site, I had in mind the purpose of reaching families who didn't know where to turn or wanted information and direction but weren't sure of the extent of their teen's "use". My hope is to reach those families who suffer from teen drug abuse and lead them to help. In the 80's and 90's many teens were placed in treatment due to misdiagnoses and lack of competent intake procedures. I don't think every child is addicted. Some are and some are abusing due to stress or loss/grief. Treatment will be different for each of these two categories. I think that it is important to find out the extent of his or her "use" from a professional who has specialized in addiction and then decide on a course of action based on the diagnosis. This involves having the strength and good sense to find out.	197
6	Drug Treatment Center Before considering a Drug Treatment Center there are a few things to consider. The first has to do with detoxification. If the person needs to detox for medical and/or psychological reasons, consider medical treatment with an M.D. If the person is not ready for treatment and is not in a life-threatening situation, think about treatment cost and effectiveness. You have to consider enabling - the process whereby you accept the consequences of the person's maladaptive behavior, thus depriving them of the opportunity to get sober and clean. Pain and loss gets a person to treatment.	221
