When you enter a drug rehabilitation program, you’ll re-learn how to live without drugs. It may seem easier to give up than pursue recovery. But deep down you know that isn’t true. Your life is complicated, finding your fix, managing to pay for it however you can, and worrying about your next fix, the cycle keeps repeating over and over. Think of your drug treatment as your way of trying to get to the root of your problem. Something bigger is tugging at you. Your addiction is filling a void. With the help of the counselors at Drug Treatment Center Sarasota, you will discover what your life was missing and why you began using drugs as a cover. Your addiction has been your primary focus. Maintaining your habit has been more important than anything or anyone else. Wouldn’t it be nice to be up when the sun comes up and actually notice the colors in the sky and the clouds floating by without a care in the world? When you are clean, you will notice everything differently. Nothing will seem small and unimportant. You will appreciate your life a lot more.

The International Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia Foundation is a registered 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting everyone affected by Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia through research, support, education, and advocacy. Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, also known as lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (or LPL), is a rare form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with no known cure. Because less than 1,500 cases are diagnosed annually in the US, Waldenstrom's is considered an orphan disease, making it difficult for researchers to secure funding and for patients to connect with one another. That's where IWMF comes in. Led by an all volunteer board with a four person administrative staff headquartered in Florida, the IWMF is lean but powerful organization, and a force behind changes that have made an enormous impact on the understanding of WM and the prognosis for patients. Since 1994, IWMF has been a global force in helping promote research, spread awareness, and empower patients and caregivers. IWMF helped fund the rationale for using BTK inhibitors in WM which led to Ibrutinib being the first drug specifically approved for the treatment of WM. As the organization continues to fund and encourage research towards a cure, IWMF member services help patients, caregivers, and medical professionals around the globe make more informed healthcare decisions and connect the WM community locally and internationally. Join IWMF, and help support intelligent programs that change lives and empower patients. Visit iwmf.com to learn more.
