Part 1: Close Up Radio Spotlights Percy Menzies of ARCA

St. Louis, MO – Percy Menzies is a respected and sought after speaker and President and founder of Assisted Recovery Centers of America one of the top centers in the country for the treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction.

According to Percy, our health care system continues to be sluggish in effectively responding to addictions  and we must ramp up ongoing efforts to treat addiction as a prolonged, but absolutely curable, condition.

“Addiction throws people into a survival mode and human beings are meant to thrive not survive, which is a dangerous state to be in and not a sustainable way to live,” says Percy.

Prior to opening up his own treatment center, Percy worked for over 18 years for DuPont Pharmaceuticals where he recognized how naloxone and naltrexone, largely underused at the time, had a tremendous potential  as key medications to battle the opioid and alcoholism addiction.

Part of Percy’s success is based on the meds he offers such as buprenorphine and naltrexone which protects patients and curbs craving for drugs and alchohol. The key, he emphasizes, to treating addictive disorders, is that patients must stay on meds indefinitely. Once you successfully curve their craving and their withdrawal systems they will get better.

Through Assisted Recovery Centers of America, Percy creates a purpose driven atmosphere to protect the patient living in drug infested environment be encouraged to seek self-care. With so many drugs continuing to come in it’s troubling that we have a supply driven problem and Percy emphasizes we must  curve the supply and demand and make certain the demand is gone.
