We were contracted to produce a Public Service Announcement for Shaw University’s Alcohol Awareness week by Damen Cromwell (substance abuse counselor) and the Shaw University Peer Educator Role Models. This is the first of a three-part campaign created to inspire college-aged individuals to “Take Over” their minds, bodies, and souls as well as raise awareness about the many ways alcohol and substance abuse can influence and affect that trinity in a negative way. We are attempting to send a real message about investing in self, and not wasting time engaging in destructive activities. This first spot takes a look at how we can take over our bodies and health, by making a decision that might be a little bit harder at first, but will definitely pay off positive dividends in the long run. This PSA features NYC-based physical fitness organization Bartendaz/Giant Thinking. The Bartendaz share a similar goal, sending positive messages out into the world about the values of physical fitness, self-empowerment and alcohol awareness. They use their unique brand of calisthenics (natural movement, own-body weight exercises) to attract and inspire youth to live active, healthy, and positive lifestyles. Also featured are local NC hip-hop group, Kooley High. Not only is their music featured (as well as a solo track by Tab One from the group), but two of their members performed as actors!

Question by jake: How long does it take for a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to last?
I want to undergo a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. I want to start over with my life and I think allowing myself to be sober and detoxified is my first step to recovery. I’m worried about the time, though. I want to know how long the program will last because I want to be fully-recovered by the time my sister Sam gets married (which is in 6 weeks). Please help. Thank you.

Answer by wldntulike_2know I suggest you make an appointment with the facility you are most interested in being committed to. They will give you realistic goals and facts about rehab. Every person is different, and it’s not only going to rehab that makes you clean, it’s the desire not to go back to that type of behavior. Really WANTING it is the first and largest step to getting clean. Good Luck!
