As the Director of A Positive Alternative, I wanted to include a quick note about the huge positive impact that Dr. Kristen Allott has had upon our clients at A Positive Alternative. We are still the only gender-specific, non-12 step oriented alcohol and drug treatment program in the region.
Dr. Allott has been working with our clients for over a year, providing nutritional, lifestyle and wellness guidance. This has all been for the purpose of assisting clients in gaining greater awareness of their bodies, helping clients to understand the impact that food and activity have on increasing the sense of well-being that we believe is extremely necessary for people making the transition from addictive use of alcohol and substances into an alcohol and drug-free life.
Feedback from clients has consistently confirmed that her methods are critically useful. We are very fortunate that Dr. Allott has continued to be willing to offer her workshops to our clients on an ongoing basis.
Dr. Allott is the first Naturopath we refer to when a client has a need for a personal physician – especially in the areas of emotions, difficulty with withdrawal, a need for depression or anxiety to be addressed, as well as for those who would like to begin a safe process of transitioning from using standard antidepressants to a more natural approach.
Having known Dr. Allott for over 5 years, gives our entire staff a confidence in her methods, her scientific and research orientation, her personal commitment to wellness for all, and her compassion for our clients.
In addition, I have personally attended her workshop for professionals, which includes her great width of knowledge that is made extremely accessible for mental health care professionals to pass on to their clients. Her handouts, lectures and question and answer format make her an amazingly wonderful gem in the realm of empowerment both of the clinician and their clients. I would HIGHLY recommend her upcoming workshop.
