Wizards knock off hot Hornets, Jamison flourishes with big game

The New Orleans Hornet took the Western conference by surprise. With a 1.5 games behind the Spurs in the Southwest division. they came into Washington last night coming off a big win against the Utah Jazz over the weekend. Unfortunately, the Wizards refused to become another one of their victims. The offensive firepower wasn't there for the Hornets who normally play with high energy and offensive intensity. Without Gilbert Arenas or Caron Butler on the court Washington found their scoring solution in Antawn Jamison. He lead them to a 101-84 victory scoring 28 points and grabbing 9 rebounds.

Washington took a lead into halftime and continued to build upon it. The guys off the bench chipped in well to help out with 35 points. The deciding factor down the stretch was made free-throws. Back-to-back threes late in the 4th quarter put the game out of reach. Although the Wizards are a game below .500 they won 4 of their last 5 games without their 2 central pieces to their offense. They really have to push and play like there is no tomorrow to earn a final playoff seed in the East. When and if they get Caron Butler back some serious ground could be gained in their division. For now the young guys filling temporary starting roles and more minutes off the bench will have to step up their game.

Alcohol and drug addiction is a disease that progresses through predictable stages. It takes a trained health professional, often a doctor specializing in addiction medicine, to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the most appropriate treatment.

A Drug Rehabilitation treatment center should offer a variety of treatment programs that meet individual needs. Programs may include inpatient, residential, outpatient, and/or short-stay options.

The difference between inpatient and a residential treatment center is that inpatient services are provided by a licensed hospital, while residential programs usually do not meet the same rigorous standards of medical care.

The length of stay depends on the severity and stage of the disease.
