Unlike other treatment centers that may offer “non 12 step programs” the Brookside Recovery Protocol ™ is a science-based, medical model that applies over twenty years of scientific research to provide a comprehensive treatment for addiction. Although other treatment programs may claim to be non 12 step, none provide the same level of care and innovative approach to addiction as Brooksides individualized, all-inclusive treatment protocol. Many programs have recently jumped on the non 12 step trend; however, Brookside Institute is the pioneer in science-based, medical model treatment for addiction and has always used this model to treat addiction.

Magno-EEG Resonant Therapy (MERT) is an innovative treatment procedure using a noninvasive electromagnetic resonant process to tune up or down specific brainwaves.

Married 7years, marriage not consumated because he had a problem that he said would get better. Viagra didn’t work. It never did. Turns out he was diagnosed with heart failure due to a life time of alcoholism. He knew he couldn’t “get it up” when he married me but kept it a secret. I’m 50 and he’s 60. I’ve thought of an extra marital affair but my conscious bothers me. I still feel the need for “it”, but there is no physical contact between us (separate beds) as he has no libido. Toys don’t do it for me and I feel trapped and very depressed. It is an embarrasing subject and he refuses to communicate about it. How many marriages survive like this? Am I too old to go on? I need a hug. Anyone in the same boat? Nevertheless I stay. How can one leave an ill partner…for better or worse right? I feel like I’m already dead and too dumb to drop. At this point I have no sexual feelings for him and don’t think I ever will again. He refuses to have an “open” relationship. :(

I’m hoping that I can bundle several questions about health insurance here, as to avoid making multiple threads.

I’m looking to buy a new health insurance policy. I have been covered by the same one for nearly 6 years now (blue care network company policy), and am currently being treated for add. Here are my questions;

I’ve found a plan by Bluecare Network for about $130 a month, that covers just about everything I want. However, the prescription package has a calender year limit of $2500. After that I have to pay for it myself apparently.

I’m currently on 60 30mg adderall XR/month, and nothing else. I’ve called around, and found that while CVS would charge me over $300 out of pocket, my local independent pharmacy only costs about $150. Now, my question is-How do health insurance companies determine pricing when paying for prescriptions? Do they go by store price, or is it some kind of negotiated term agreement?
I want to make sure I don’t buy the policy only to find that it doesn’t cover the medication I need if I unexpectedly hit this cap because of high drug prices.

2. How do preexisting conditions come into play here? As I said, I have ADD and am prescribed medication for it. Would that be counted as a pre-existing, or would HIPAA require them to cover the condition because I haven’t been without insurance for over 30 days?

Thanks for any info offered!
