Los Angeles/Ventura, CA Drug Rehab Broadens Scope of Sober Fun

Dec. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Stuart Birnbaum, brother of Roger Birnbaum, Co-Chairman and Co-CEO of MGM Entertainment, and Director of Recovery Advocates Addiction/Alcoholism Treatment Center on the cusp of Ventura and Los Angeles County in Southern California, is taking a proactive role in helping to teach recovering drug addicts & alcoholics in the importance of learning to have “sober fun” in early recovery.  Says Mr. Birnbaum, “addicts & alcoholics, in early recovery, are often lost when it comes to re-learning how to have natural enjoyment within life’s simple pleasures due to the mental and emotional damage created by drug & alcohol abuse.”

With the recent release of MGM’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” along with his close relationship to his brother, Roger Birnbaum, Stuart is going to great lengths in his efforts to re-introduce struggling addicts and alcoholics into the enjoyment of arts and entertainment.  Simply put in his own words, “if you can’t learn to have a little fun in sobriety then why bother in the first place?”  As such, Stuart plans on taking groups of those in early recovery to viewings of the film and even utilizing it as a kick-off to attending subsequent fun-type effects designed to promote the brain’s production of pleasure center chemicals such as, dopamine, serotonin & norepinephrine.
