The Secret in Seattle
Schick's Medical Solution Gains Recognition
Often an organization’s or business’ relevance can be measured by its exposure in the media. For quite some time, addiction rehabilitation has been front page news in television journalism and medical publications. Everywhere you turn, you can find a sports figure, movie celebrity or musician going in to treat for addiction problems.
Mainstream television programs about addiction treatment are showing up in prime time and there seems to be more addiction professionals than weather forecasters in the nightly news reports! An estimated 30 million plus are struggling with addiction today and this translates to big business.
An indication that the Schick Shadel Hospital medical treatment for addiction is being noticed by mainstream media is supported by the amount of calls we are receiving by talk show hosts and television newscasters. Even business publications are writing stories about “The Secret in Seattle.”
Several years ago, the Oprah Winfrey show contacted Schick Shadel Hospital for a potential story. Since that time we have been interviewed on three Seattle radio stations and one in Alaska. We were a featured story nationally on Fox News Television. The producers of the Tyra Banks Show and MTV out of New York have contacted us within the past year for addiction treatment content.
In 2008, Schick Shadel was featured on KIRO 7 television in Seattle as an expert in the addiction treatment field within an investigative report about street drug addiction. And lastly we have been featured in Seattle Business Magazine, the Highline Times and Seattle Times in stories about addiction.
The bottom line…when news media wants to speak to “cutting edge” experts about the problems and solutions for alcohol and drug addiction, they call Schick Shadel Hospital. Keep watching, another Schick Shadel story is coming to a radio, television or newspaper near you.
