Choices Recovery and Janell Flack at the 2017 Sundance EcoLuxe Lounge

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - April 12, 2017 - PRLog -- Choices Recovery, a holistic treatment facility for those struggling with addiction, took their effort to raise awareness about substance abuse and rehabilitation to Park City, Utah during the 2017 Sundance Film Festival as sponsor of the EcoLuxe Lounge, a red-carpet event that gathers together some of the world's leading innovators in all-natural and eco-friendly technology and services. Held in the Blue Iguana in Downtown Park City, the EcoLuxe featured the Choices Recovery Media Center, where "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Gretchen Rossi hosted dozens of the entertainment industry professionals who stopped by.

"The epidemic of addiction facing our country will not be solved by rehabilitation alone," commented Choices Recovery founder and CEO Per Wickstrom. "If we trulywant to make a difference in this battle, we must reach outside of the halls of our treatment center to engage others, sharing our positive message of leading asubstance-free lifestyle and educating people on the truth surrounding theseissues.

This was the goal behind our sponsorship of the 2017 Sundance EcoLuxe Lounge." The EcoLuxe Lounge is organized by Debbie Durkin of Durkin Entertainment, theindustry-leading producer of on-screen sustainable product placement. The holistic nature of the Choices Recovery treatment program is a great fit with the other service providers featured in the EcoLuxe Lounge.

Though Rossi spoke mostly with producers, directors, and actors, she also had the opportunity to speak with a young lady named Janell Flack who was working at the EcoLuxe Lounge as a Guest Ambassador. Flack had experience with addiction in her family, and wanted to share her story in the hopes that she could provide some insight to others who might be facing the same problems in their own families.

"Me and my brother were best friends," Flack says. "We grew up as twins. After high school, he got a really good job and had all this money. As a 19 year old, you don't make the wisest of choices. It was very evident in his life that's what was happening.

It was very hard to see. It grabbed him so fast, I don't think he saw what was happening." A video of the complete interview can be seen on the Choices Recovery YouTube channel https://youtu.be/EpKEPKvPpok.



Choices Recovery is continuously vocal and active in their outreach efforts, sponsoring everything from high-profile events like the EcoLuxe Lounge to music events and charity golf outings. Like the name suggests, Choices offers a wide variety of treatment options for their patients to choose from, and they take every opportunity to educate people on those options, as well as helping them to more thoroughly understand the causes of addiction.
