Remaking Promises

By Alexa Hyland

Promises Treatment Centers became famous for its Hollywood clientele, including starlets Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. But when those stars suffered relapses, the sordid news was splashed over the tabloids and made Promises famous in an unwanted way.

Indeed, Promises got a reputation as a high-dollar Malibu getaway for wayward celebrities rather than as a serious drug and alcohol treatment center.

So when David Sack acquired the treatment program and its Malibu and West L.A. campuses in 2008, the psychiatrist had a big job: rehab the rehab centers.

Job 1 was to cut down those high-profile episodes of backsliding. “People do relapse,” Sack said. “And if I’m a celebrity and I relapse, it’s all over the tabloids. When treating celebrities, you are associated with their successes and failures.”

Families agree Corby poison waste settlement

By Paul Baker

George Taylor is 18 and like many other teenagers of his age, except that most of his right hand has been removed after a series of tumours.

In an historic judgement, a court decided these had been caused by his pregnant mother's exposure to toxic waste as it was being removed from a former steelworks in the Northamptonshire town of Corby.

George and 18 other children will now share an out-of-court settlement reached with Corby Borough Council, which carried out the clean-up.

Corby steelworks closed in 1980 and the industrial sites were bought by the local authority for regeneration.

Before any building work could begin, the site had to be cleared and thousands of tonnes of contaminated land was removed.

However, the clearance operation was badly managed.

Promises Treatment Centers

Promises  hired AHPR in September of 2008 .  Within a couple of weeks, AHPR delivered quality opportunities.  A month ago, a tabloid magazine wrote a story about  Promises that cast us in a very negative light.  AHPR responded immediately, and  had the story removed from the magazine’s website ,  as well as from all of the blogs that reported the story.  AHPR’s experience and hard work has  been a benefit to our organization in many ways. They have been a great PR partner.  I  would  recommend them to anyone who needs PR services and deals with the press .
