WestCare specializes in helping
people traditionally considered difficult to treat, such as those who
are indigent, have multiple disorders, or are involved with the
criminal justice system. These risk factors include, among
others, limited operating history and lack of statistically
significant formal research studies, difficulty in developing,
exploiting and protecting proprietary technologies, intense
competition and substantial regulation in the healthcare industry; and
additional risks factors as discussed in the reports filed by the
company with the Securities and Exchange Commission , which are
available on its website at http://www.")
"Our Third Stage Recovery program is designed to empower participants to
heal their physical and emotional bodies, and stop using any form of addictive
behavior they've gotten trapped in," said Small.
