Alvin Elliott is a person in long-term recovery. For the past thirty-one years, he’s worked an active program of recovery, and has remained abstinent from all mind-altering substances, including alcohol. He is also a professional working in the field of addiction, at the flagship facility, Las Vegas Recovery Centre (LVRC). Alvin has found over the years that a common anxiety among patients that are contemplating entering residential rehabilitation is what the actual entry process will entail. In this short film, he describes what kind of physical exam a male client might expect when entering LVRC. When the paperwork is completed, the client should anticipate a physical examination. For this, they will need to undress fully. This allows for injuries to be checked, and for the presence of patches that are delivering medications. People entering treatment are often poor historians, with a poor recall of what is in their system. It is crucial that the physical examination is carried out, ensuring that their entry in the treatment facility will be a fruitful and safe one. The examination does not include a cavity search, and it is done as dignified manner as possible.
