August 2007 – One important discovery: evidence is building to support the 90-day rehabilitation model, which was stumbled upon by AA (new members are advised to attend a meeting a day for the first 90 days) and is the duration of a typical stint in a drug-treatment program.
It turns out that this is just about how long it takes for the brain to reset itself and shake off the immediate influence of a drug. Researchers at Yale University have documented what they call the sleeper effect--a gradual re-engaging of proper decision making and analytical functions in the brain's prefrontal cortex--after an addict has abstained for at least 90 days.

Love-Sex Addiction Treatment for Women: Balboa Horizons 866.316.4012:
"Love & Sex Addiction in Women
What's love got to do with it? A lot when it relates to a woman suffering with an addiction to a significant other. Part of the addiction recovery process is first identifying why the obsession is occurring with another human being, and then helping the woman understand that it has little or nothing to do with that other person. Love and/or sex addictions, as with any other addiction, are utilized in an effort to make her feel better because on some level she does not feel complete in and of herself.
Some characteristics of the love-sex addict are as follows:" Click here to read more....

Testimonials Balboa Horizons for Women
Paul:
I wanted to thank you for your kindness and help. I am honoured and a bit at a loss on how to accept the offer to stay at Balboa without a firm offer of employment. As I do not believe in taking, but honouring to the best of my ability, you and your team.
That being said, I would be remiss if I did not tell you how grateful I am for your calls and answering my email for help this year, and how my life has changed since this time. Who would have thought that I would be where I am today, with my heart in Newport Beach, wishing not to leave and not knowing God's plan for me.
For I feel that is where I am and for that I am completely giving this over to God, for his Will, to guide me during this time. I remember the first day I arrived and you took me for a tour (which you asked me not to share and to this day I have not, as your trust means alot me), and I so want to find that one place, where the inlet met the sea, to go back. This was my time of peace, where I felt I had come home and I could not have asked for a more gracious gift that what you gave me.
No matter what, I am hoping to find a job and praying as there was no "tomorrow" for this, to be able to stay as long as I can, but I know if I don't in short order, this will change and I must leave. My hope would be to be a part of NPB as I have so connected in AA, in volunteer work, in friends and community - that I have come home, that I know God did not bring me this far, to let me go now. But His plan, not mine.
Please accept this email as a personal thank you from my heart for the gifts received here, may they come back to you ten-fold and then some.
Respectfully,
Tina
