Getting clean from ReVia, Dicodid, alcohol or other drugs you or your loved one is addicted to takes an individualized treatment arrangement. Two options of substance abuse treatment centers in West Plains can help you succeed: either In-patient or Outpatient Rehab. Residential treatment offers continuing benefits with extended stays in a highly-rated rehab clinic. Outpatient programs may be more opportune, but lack the permanence and resources of two-month programs to get into recovery. Ultimately, the choice is your own, and we are here to help you find the one that's right for you.
Removing yourself from the environment of the addiction issue can help eliminate distractions and temptations that prevent long-term recovery. When viewing rehab as a therapeutic refuge, addicts will find private luxury facilities in cities outside of West Plains, Missouri. Offering resort-like features, the best-rated clinics help achieve a physical, psychological and emotional recovery. However, those looking for treatments from home may find a center near your address is a less difficult decision to make. Still unsure where to look for an outpatient or inpatient drug rehab center in West Plains, MO? You can reach us without cost 24/7 at (888) 716-9806.

What are the side effects of emergency contraceptives?
There are some minor side effects of emergency contraceptives. The emergency contraceptives Plan B One-Step�
and Next Choice� are
made from levonorgestrel - a common ingredient of many birth control pills. Some of the side
effects are similar to those of regular birth control pills such as: nausea, abdominal pain,
tiredness, headache, dizziness, and breast tenderness.
Some women may experience changes in their menstrual cycle after taking Plan B One-Step� or Next Choice� - spotting or bleeding before their next expected cycle, heavier or lighter bleeding - or they may start their period earlier or later than usual. Most women should expect to get their period at their expected time or within a week of their expected time. However, if your period is more than a week late, you may be pregnant and should contact your healthcare provider.
Important Note: If you are taking Plan B One-Step� or Next Choice� and vomit within 1 hour of taking either medication, then call your healthcare provider immediately to determine whether you need to repeat the dose.
Remember that Plan B One-Step� or Next Choice� is not meant to be a routine method of birth control. In addition, neither medication protects against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS.
Learn more about safe sex and birth control in our Health Encyclopedia.

ALBUQUERQUE -- The final suspect in a deadly home invasion on Wellesley NE turned himself in late Monday, according to Albuquerque police.
Luis Carlos Grajeda, Jr., 41, was taken into custody by the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department on an outstanding felony warrant for his involvement in the Aug. 15 home invasion.
Grajeda is being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center on several charges, including first-degree murder, aggravated burglary and aggravated assault.
APD plans to execute a search warrant on Grajeda's truck later Tuesday.
Police said Grajeda drove the getaway car while three other men, 18-year-old Edgardo Marquez-Ordonez, 22-year-old Luis Vargas-Rivera and 20-year-old Miguel Marquez, Jr., broke into the home in the 3400 block of Wellesley.
One of the residents of the home shot and killed Marquez-Ordonez during the break-in, according to an APD official.
Vargas-Rivera also sustained a gunshot wound during the invasion and was arrested after receiving treatment at a local hospital. Marquez was also arrested four days after the incident.
Vargas-Rivera and Marquez are charged with murder, aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, assault with intent to commit a violent felony, conspiracy and tampering.
APD spokesman Tanner Tixier said the murder charges stem from a state statute that says if a person is in the commission of a crime and a person related to the crime dies—regardless of intent—the others can be charged with murder as well.

Tolls, the widening of Interstate 81, and rail.
All hot topics at VDOT's public hearing about the draft environmental impact statement.
Residents from all across the Valley came out to speak to VDOT about the statement and how it would affect the Valley.
Many think that some of the proposed options would negatively impact the Shenandoah Valley.
"Civil war battlefields historic sites, agricultural forest districts, farming, economy tourism all of those things would be impacted by a large road widening proposal," says Kim Sandum.
VDOT will take the remarks from all of the meetings held over the past week and then make a recommendation to the state.

Big Data
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is looking for a new way for defense and other government agencies -- and eventually the public -- to search the ocean of Internet data more deeply.
The research agency said it wants ways to perform user-defined, domain-specific searches of public information, instead of the current commercial one-size-fits-all approach that uses the same set of search tools for all inquiries.
In a Feb. 9 statement, DARPA said that while that commercial approach has been wildly successful, it doesn't work as well for some government applications.
For example, commonly used search systems remain mostly manual processes that don't save sessions, require almost exact input with one-at-a-time entry, and don't organize or aggregate results beyond a list of links. They also miss information that could be embedded deeper in the web that aren't indexed by standard search engines, and skip over information that might be shared across web pages.
DARPA's statement said the initial application for its deep-web "Memex" program would enhance the Defense Department's efforts to combat human trafficking, a scourge that has a significant web presence. Using a more flexible search technology, DARPA contends the DoD could look deeper into online forums, chats, advertisements, job postings, hidden services and other out-of-the-way sites that enable the growing industry of modern slavery. An index curated for the counter-trafficking domain, along with configurable interfaces for search and analysis, would unlock new opportunities to uncover and derail trafficking enterprises, the DARPA statement said.
DARPA launched the Memex program looking to develop a next-generation search engine that will allow users to extend the reach of current search capabilities and quickly and thoroughly organize subsets of information based on individual interests. The program, the agency said, also aims to produce search results that are more immediately useful to specific domains and tasks, and to improve the ability of military, government and commercial enterprises to find and organize mission-critical publicly available information on the Internet.
"We're envisioning a new paradigm for search that would tailor indexed content, search results and interface tools to individual users and specific subject areas, and not the other way around," Chris White, DARPA program manager, said in the statement. "By inventing better methods for interacting with and sharing information, we want to improve search for everybody and individualize access to information. Ease of use for non-programmers is essential."
Through its solicitation, DARPA said, the program would explore three technical areas of interest: domain-specific indexing, domain-specific search, and DoD-specified applications.
DARPA noted that it is not interested in proposals for attributing anonymous services, deanonymizing or attributing identity to servers or IP addresses, or accessing information not intended to be publicly available. The agency said the program plans to use commodity hardware and emphasize creating and leveraging open source technology and architecture.
The agency plans a proposer's day on Feb 18 in Arlington, Va., to familiarize interested parties with the program.

And still felt pretty good! I got hungry a couple of times, but I ate the snacks and meals I had prepared. I even had room for a cookie (and filled it!).
Exercised again and have plans to go again in the morning.
Time for bed now. Sleep is another important component of weight loss!
Night all!
I went into the Start page and changed my goal weight from 134 to 126 and gave myself until 1/31/2010 to reach that goal. Yep...Thanksgiving, Christmas (and all the mandatory parties) and my birthday ALL fall in that short two month timespan.
That means that I need to make smaller goals and the timelines that go with them. So here they are.
By December 6th, I will have lost two pounds (132)
By December 20th, I will be down another two pounds (130)
By January 3rd, I will have maintained (130)
By January 17th, I will have gotten another two pounds off (128)
By January 31st, I will be at my new goal!! (126)
Did you know that you get fewer calories when you're trying to lose weight than when you're trying to maintain? Oh, okay, I knew that intellectually, but DANG!! Seeing it on the Nutrition Tracker just really hit home! I guess that means that I will have to go back to entering my food in the day before I eat it. It's a good habit and this is just reminding me.
Bring on the holidays!!
My daughter gets an allowance every week. She gets it in part because she has certain chores she has to do every week and in part so she can get some practice managing money before it is vital to do it right.
That said, her "needs" are larger than her allowance. She asked if she could do any chores to earn extra money (I did something right there!) I thought about it and decided that I could afford to pay her $5 if she cleaned the refrigerator. Of course, I low-balled her and said I'd give her $3. She took it!! Woo Hoo!!! And, she did it ALMOST as good as I would.
When she was done, I told her how good it looked and told her thank you very much and I even paid her! She was happy and I was ecstatic. Sometimes, having a teen is a good thing! LOL!
BTW, exercise done! In calorie range, done! Started out right and kept on going!
First of all, thank you to all who posted support on my blog. You are all a big part of the reason that I stayed on track today. Didn't want to come tell you that I was weak! LOL!
Went to lunch with the girls and I had Blimpie's grilled chicken bacon ranch without the ranch. Later in the afternoon, I was exhausted and hungry. The cookies from every vending machine in the plant (and it's a BIG plant!) were calling my name. So what did I do? I ate the yogurt and Fiber One cereal that I brought from home. It was enough to sustain me through the end of the day.
Came home, still beat and now hungry. I cooked the pizza (yes, pizza) and ate one piece. Then I went to the gym! Still had room in my calories and I was hungry, so had one more piece. I get the thin crust with chicken, spinach, artichoke hearts, bacon and other yummy stuff on it. (Did anyone else notice the bacon-theme?)
Basically, I am proud to announce that I started day one meeting my goals! I will be doing abs and arms tomorrow. Legs on Sunday. By Sunday evening, I will have the remainder of my strength workouts planned.
Now, time to go back and watch my BSU Broncos beat the Utah Aggies. Not destroying them like they should, but winning!
No, really! I have been eating and eating and eating and eating and...well, you get the idea...all week. Today I was hungry all day. Not sure why, but I was. I did eat, but had the snacks I took to work. Yogurt and Fiber One cereal, apple and string cheese, a plum.
Anyway, back to seriousness. I need a plan. I need goals. Otherwise I am going to bust through the top of my comfortable range (on the scale) and make something break!
Here's the plan:
Exercise at least 35 minutes every day through 11/28. (I'll look at my schedule tomorrow and determine which days will be at work workouts, after work and before work. Cross your fingers that I don't have to do the before work ones! Those suck! LOL!)
Start doing situps, squats/lunges and pushups at least three times this week.
Stay in calorie range every day through 11/28, except T-day.
On T-day, stay below 2800 calories.
Tell one of my real-world friends my goals so they can help keep me accountable.
Tell ALL my Spark friends my goals for the same reason!
I've said it to my friends a billion times (no, I don't exaggerate! ) that every choice you make makes a difference. Time to start living that!
I'll let everyone know how I did on each of these goals...starting tomorrow!
