Narconon East US Now Offering Careers In Fast Growing Substance Abuse Rehab Sector
Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) November 09, 2011
Narconon East US is now providing career training on an immediate basis in the fast growing substance abuse rehab sector which includes substance abuse prevention education. Prescription drug abuse now leads the field of drugs being abused and per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is the Nation’s fastest-growing drug problem being classified as an epidemic. In Florida alone, there are 7 deaths a day from prescription drug abuse.
The recently released Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 2008-09 Occupational Outlook shows the Substance Abuse and Behavioral Disorder Counselors sector is expected to experience a 34% net increase in jobs in the next decade. Occupational Outlook Handbook (2008-09) – http://www.bls.gov/emp/optd/.
“We are currently experiencing rapid growth in our Narconon East US Substance Abuse Facilities with centers filled to capacity and the list of arrivals showing no signs of slowing. While the prescription drug abuse epidemic is a contributing factor to our filled centers and growth, another major influence is the over 75% success rate of the long-term Narconon Program,” says Yvonne Rodgers, Executive Director of Narconon East US.
“To meet the growing demand for alcohol, drug and prescription drug rehabilitation we need many more substance abuse centers and trained counselors in the Narconon East US sector which includes all states east of the Mississippi River, Louisiana, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean,” says Rodgers.
According to the 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Summary of National Findings (http://oas.samhsa.gov/NSDUH/2k10NSDUH/2k10Results.htm, “In 2010, an estimated 22.6 million Americans aged 12 or older were current (past month) illicit drug users, meaning they had used an illicit drug during the month prior to the survey interview. This estimate represents 8.9 percent of the population aged 12 or older. Illicit drugs include marijuana/hashish, cocaine (including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, or prescription-type psychotherapeutics used non-medically.”
The survey further reported that “slightly more than half of Americans aged 12 or older reported being current drinkers of alcohol in the 2010 survey (51.8 percent). This translates to an estimated 131.3 million people, which was similar to the 2009 estimate of 130.6 million people (51.9 percent).”
With this more people are needed immediately in this sector to fill the growing need for additional counselors, substance abuse facilities and drug abuse prevention educators. Those interested in careers with job security in the expanding field of Substance Abuse that is expected to increase 34% in the next 10 years should contact Narconon East US.

Loyola University New Orleans Makes $164 Million Impact on New Orleans Area Economy
Loyola University New Orleans Makes $ 164 Million Impact on New Orleans Area Economy
(PRWEB) November 02, 2011
During the 2010–2011 academic year, Loyola University New Orleans made a $ 163.9 million economic impact, most of which went into the Greater New Orleans and Louisiana economies, according to a report prepared by the College of Business. The university’s financial impact on the Greater New Orleans area results from expenditures to local companies, employment of local personnel, and attracting students and employees from out of state who work and spend in the area.
In the past year, Loyola has increased productivity on capital projects that provide revenue and job stimulation to local firms. It has hired new employees, including 38 new faculty members, who by and large reinvest their salaries in the local and regional economies. Loyola also attracted and enrolled a record number of students last year who contribute economically in many important ways, particularly to New Orleans’ housing sector.
“The city of New Orleans is experiencing one of the greatest urban revivals of our lifetime, one in which Loyola University New Orleans plays an important role,” said Loyola President Kevin Wm. Wildes, S.J., Ph.D. “Loyola has remained firmly engaged with New Orleans throughout the university’s 100-year history and is in a position of strength as we approach our centennial. We are making improvements to our physical campus and academic programs and we are working to generate an unprecedented level of support from the Loyola community.”
Last year, the university’s operations and expenditures contributed $ 74.8 million to the economy, including $ 44 million on utilities, insurance, debt service and miscellaneous costs. The remaining $ 30.8 million was spent on construction projects, such as upgrades to infrastructure and renovations to Thomas Hall and the College of Law Broadway Building.
Additionally, the university contributed $ 64 million to the economy in employment activities, including $ 50.4 million in after-tax payroll, $ 11.8 million in fringe benefit disbursements and $ 1.8 million in state income tax revenue. Loyola is a major employer in New Orleans with 1,148 full- and part-time employees.
All together, Loyola’s enrollment and community engagement activities contributed $ 25.1 million to the economy. The university’s enrollment activities attract out-of-state students and campus visitors to the city on an annual basis. Last year, out-of-state students enrolled at Loyola contributed $ 24.7 million to the economy. The 2010-2011 student body hit record levels with 5,178 total students, and of the $ 24.7 million spent by out-of-state students, approximately $ 6.1 million went to off-campus housing.
Some aspects of Loyola’s economic impact are harder to pinpoint, such as student, faculty and staff involvement in countless programs that benefit the Greater New Orleans community. Though much of what Loyola contributes in this area is unquantifiable, Loyola’s Carnegie Committee on Community Engagement found that more than 700 students documented 21,132 hours of service learning, benefitting 62 different community partners for an in-kind value of $ 395,379.
“Our interactions with the broader community clearly help shape the city’s civic, social, spiritual and intellectual lives,” said Wildes. “As we begin our second century, Loyola looks forward to taking an enhanced role in the citywide effort to make New Orleans a better place.”
For more information, please contact Meredith Hartley, director of Loyola’s Office of Public Affairs, at mhartley(at)loyno(dot)edu or 504-861-5883.

Baton Rouge, LA Attorney Rhett Spano Negotiates Favorable Plea Bargain in Difficult Drug Trafficking Case
Baton Rouge, LA Attorney Rhett Spano Negotiates Favorable Plea Bargain in Difficult Drug Trafficking Case
Baton Rouge, LA (PRWEB) October 25, 2011
Criminal defense attorney Rhett Spano of the Law Offices of Rhett P. Spano, L.L.C. successfully represented an out-of-state client charged with possession of five pounds of cocaine in Case 20-11-2, heard by the 31st Judicial District Court of Louisiana. If convicted, the client could have been imprisoned for up to 60 years. Instead, Attorney Rhett Spano successfully negotiated a plea bargain and the client will serve at most four years and 10 months before becoming eligible for release for good behavior. Just as importantly, the client will be assigned to a work release program, live in an offsite dormitory setting, and go to a job every day. The client will be paid an hourly wage, allowing him to send money home to his wife and five young children.
According to the facts reported in the Louisiana 31st Judicial District Court Case 20-11-2, the client was initially stopped for failure to dim his headlights. He was traveling with his six-month-old child and the baby’s mother. During the stop, the client gave the state trooper consent to search his vehicle, which is something Attorney Rhett Spano advises clients to never do. While searching the trunk, the trooper was alerted to a battery jumper in the trunk. Because the car was a 2010 rental, the trooper thought this strange. He then popped the hood and examined the battery, which smelled strongly of fresh epoxy resin. Knowing that drug traffickers often hide cocaine in unusual places, he pried the battery open and located five pounds of cocaine inside. The car battery had been outfitted with a false compartment below a motorcycle battery that was being used to start the car. Because the motorcycle battery was much less powerful than the regular battery, the jumper was necessary.
Per the Louisiana 31st Judicial District Court records, the client signed a statement admitting that he was paid a few thousand dollars to drive the car to someone in Louisiana and that he had done this before for the person. Per Attorney Rhett Spano, “It did not help matters that he rented the car in his name and admitted that he suspected he was paid to do something illegal.”
Attorney Rhett Spano uncovered several problems with the search, which he pursued in a motion to suppress. Attorney Rhett Spano subsequently commented, “As a result of our aggressive defense of this client, the State made an offer we could not refuse. Because the client had five very young children, the prospect of spending 25 years in prison was unthinkable.”
About The Law Office of Rhett P. Spano
Attorney Rhett Spano is dedicated to representing criminal defendants. He is a former prosecutor with 13 years of experience. Attorney Rhett Spano is also highly experienced in representing clients charged with driving under the influence (DUI) / drunk driving defense.
