Tampa, Florida – September 17, 2025 – (PRESS ADVANTAGE) –

WhiteSands Treatment highlights new data: the Sunshine State had a near 10 percent decline in fatal overdoses from 2022 to 2023. This marks a meaningful development in the state’s ongoing response to substance use. Recent data show reductions in deaths linked to fentanyl in several regions across Florida. While many factors influence these outcomes, treatment providers remain central to the broader public health strategy by expanding access to evidence-based care.

WhiteSands Treatment, recognized by Newsweek in its annual ranking of “America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers – Florida,” operates facilities across the state that reflect this commitment. At its Tampa center, services include medical detox, inpatient and residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and outpatient care. This range of programs allows patients to begin at the level most appropriate for their needs and transition smoothly through different stages of recovery.

The WhiteSands approach integrates medical support with behavioral therapies. Patients entering detox receive clinical oversight to manage withdrawal safely, and treatment plans may include cognitive behavioral therapy, individual counseling, group sessions, and relapse prevention education. Nutrition and wellness resources are also part of the program, reinforcing the organization’s whole-person model of care.

Family involvement is another dimension of treatment. Addiction often affects loved ones and household relationships, and WhiteSands offers family therapy sessions to help build healthier patterns of communication and support. These services are intended to give patients a stronger foundation once they leave treatment and return to their communities.

Patient feedback provides insight into how these programs function in practice. Many report that the structured environment, therapeutic resources, and staff support created conditions where they could make meaningful progress. While recovery outcomes vary, testimonials frequently emphasize the importance of having both medical and psychological resources available in the same setting.

Beyond clinical services, patients may engage in structured activities designed to promote accountability, resilience, and practical life skills. From group therapy formats to nutritional education, these components complement the therapeutic process and give patients tools for navigating daily challenges after treatment.

The Tampa facility is positioned to serve people across the city and in surrounding neighborhoods such as Seminole Heights, Country Place, Sweetwater Club, Wingfield North, Sabal Point, Markham Meadows, and Springs Landing. By situating services within reach of these communities, WhiteSands ensures that care remains accessible to those searching for support close to home.

The consistency of patient reviews underscores the organization’s reputation. Former participants often describe their experience as transformative, citing not only the clinical quality of treatment but also the compassion and attentiveness of staff. This feedback reflects the broader philosophy of WhiteSands: treating addiction as both a medical and personal challenge that requires comprehensive, individualized care.

Florida’s overdose trends show progress, but challenges remain—particularly with synthetic opioids such as fentanyl continuing to drive fatalities nationwide. The decline in statewide overdose deaths suggests that efforts to increase treatment access, expand prevention strategies, and strengthen community resources are making an impact. Providers like WhiteSands remain part of this landscape, offering programs that adapt to the evolving nature of substance use.

By combining medical oversight, therapeutic interventions, wellness programming, and family engagement, WhiteSands Treatment continues to refine its model in response to the evolving needs of its patients. Its recognition by Newsweek reflects a broader pattern of positive outcomes and community trust, positioning the organization as a leader among Florida addiction treatment providers.

The broader message emerging from Florida’s latest data is one of cautious optimism. Declines in overdose deaths represent progress, but sustaining that progress requires ongoing coordination across healthcare providers, treatment centers, policymakers, and families. WhiteSands Treatment contributes to this effort by maintaining a comprehensive continuum of care that helps people pursue sobriety, stability, and long-term recovery.

Additional information about programs and services is available on the WhiteSands’ Florida locations page.

Disaster Plus, a Mount Pleasant-based restoration company with over 37 years of experience, emphasizes the importance of professional mold remediation services as indoor moisture concerns continue to affect properties. The company recently received a five-star review from a customer whose home required mold removal following roof leak damage, underscoring the value of certified remediation services.

The recent customer testimonial from Anna Stonefield detailed how Disaster Plus responded quickly to address mold growth in her home after discovering water damage from a roof leak. Stonefield praised the company for their transparent pricing and professional approach, noting that the team adjusted their estimate downward when they determined the damage was less extensive than initially assessed.

Mold growth remains a persistent challenge for property owners throughout South Carolina, particularly during periods of high humidity and following water damage incidents. Disaster Plus utilizes advanced containment methods and air filtration systems to safely remove mold while preventing the spread of spores to unaffected areas of the property.

“Mold remediation requires more than just surface cleaning,” said Keating Norris, a representative for Disaster Plus. “Our team follows strict IICRC S520 guidelines and employs negative air machines and air scrubbers to ensure complete containment during the removal process. Many property owners don’t realize that improper mold removal can actually spread spores throughout the building, creating a larger problem than the original contamination.”

Disaster Plus’s mold removal service is a comprehensive approach, including both pre-remediation and post-remediation testing conducted by Certified Industrial Hygienists. This dual testing protocol ensures that properties meet safety standards before residents return to the space. The company accepts various forms of documentation, including photographs, videos, and virtual consultations, to assess areas of concern and provide rapid response solutions.

Beyond standard remediation services, Disaster Plus addresses the root causes of mold growth, including air conditioner leaks, broken pipes, appliance malfunctions, and storm damage. The company’s technicians are IICRC certified and maintain current training on the latest remediation technologies and safety protocols.

“Property owners often wait too long to address mold issues, which can lead to structural damage and potential insurance claim denials,” added Norris. “Early intervention not only protects the property but also safeguards the health of occupants who may be sensitive to mold exposure.”

Disaster Plus has served the greater Charleston area since 1986, providing water damage restoration, mold remediation, fire and smoke damage restoration, odor abatement, biohazard cleanup, and sewage removal services. The locally owned and operated company maintains 24/7 availability for emergency response and works with all major insurance carriers. Their service area includes Charleston, Daniel Island, Folly Beach, Mount Pleasant, and surrounding communities throughout South Carolina.

Toughook USA, a leading manufacturer of unbreakable plastic hooks and hanging solutions, announced today that the company has reached a significant sales milestone with 100,000 hooks sold year to date. The achievement reflects growing demand from schools, offices, and public facilities seeking durable hanging solutions for coats, backpacks, and other items.

The milestone comes as educational institutions and commercial facilities increasingly prioritize durable infrastructure investments. Toughook USA’s backpack hook racks and hanging systems have gained widespread adoption due to their lifetime guarantee against breakage and ability to safely support up to 88 pounds per hook when properly installed.

“Reaching 100,000 units sold this year demonstrates the market’s recognition that traditional metal hooks simply cannot match the durability and safety profile of our injection-molded nylon products,” said Eli Cohen, spokesperson for Toughook USA. “Schools particularly appreciate that our hooks eliminate the sharp edges and bending issues common with metal alternatives, while maintaining the strength needed for daily institutional use.”

The company’s product line includes individual hooks, hook rails, and complete coat racks and hook systems designed for high-traffic environments. Each product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the demands of busy schools, gyms, and offices where traditional hooks frequently fail under heavy use.

Toughook USA’s Coat Hanging Hooks are manufactured using injection-molded Nylon PA6, a tough plastic material that resists breaking, bending, or cracking under normal use. The hooks are available in more than 20 colors, allowing facilities to match their existing decor or create custom color schemes for different areas or grade levels.

The 100,000-unit milestone includes sales of various product configurations, from individual hooks to complete backpack wall hanger systems. Educational facilities account for a significant portion of sales, with many schools installing the hooks racks throughout classrooms, hallways, and common areas to provide reliable hanging space for students’ belongings.

As a TIPS-approved vendor for participating school districts, Toughook USA has streamlined the procurement process for educational institutions. The company’s hang safe hooks design philosophy prioritizes both functionality and safety, addressing concerns about injuries from broken or bent metal hooks in school environments.

The achievement follows several years of steady growth as facilities managers and administrators recognize the long-term cost savings of investing in unbreakable hanging solutions. Unlike traditional metal hooks that require regular replacement due to damage, Toughook USA’s products carry a lifetime guarantee against breakage under normal indoor use.

Based in the United States, Toughook USA specializes in manufacturing unbreakable hooks and hanging systems for institutional and commercial use. The company’s products are designed and assembled in the USA and UK, serving schools, offices, gyms, and public facilities nationwide. With a focus on durability, safety, and style, Toughook USA offers comprehensive hanging solutions backed by a lifetime guarantee against breakage.

Mansfield, Texas – September 16, 2025 – (PRESS ADVANTAGE) –

Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center has published a new article titled “Facelift vs. Thread Lift: Which Facial Rejuvenation Solution is Best?” offering patients a clear perspective on two commonly compared cosmetic surgery procedures. The article, authored by Dr. Michael L. Thornton, a fellowship-trained, double board-certified cosmetic surgeon and Diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, outlines the key differences between surgical facelifts and thread lifts. It provides readers with direct, medically accurate information on safety, effectiveness, longevity, cost, and the risks patients should consider before choosing a treatment.

The article underscores that while both facelifts and thread lifts are marketed as treatments for sagging skin and deep wrinkles, the outcomes are not comparable. Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, involves surgical techniques to lift and reposition facial muscles and deep tissues while removing excess skin, thus resulting in long-lasting rejuvenation that can restore youthful contours of the face and neck for up to ten years or longer. In contrast, thread lifts use temporary barbed sutures placed beneath the skin’s surface to provide subtle lifting. Although marketed as minimally invasive and convenient, the improvements typically fade after months, leading to repeat procedures with higher long-term costs and increased risks of scarring or complications.

Dr. Thornton makes it clear that the promise of quick results from thread lifts often comes at the expense of safety and effectiveness. He warns patients that thread lifts are frequently performed in med spas or clinics by non-surgeon providers who lack formal surgical training in facial anatomy or the ability to manage complications. This lack of proper surgeon oversight has led to cases of nerve damage, infection, facial irregularities, and disappointing outcomes that fail to deliver on marketing claims. By contrast, a facelift performed by a qualified, board-certified cosmetic plastic surgeon has a long track record of predictable safety and dramatic results when paired with appropriate aftercare.

Recovery is also addressed in the article, with a candid explanation of what patients can expect following each treatment. A facelift requires two to four weeks of downtime, during which swelling and bruising are carefully managed under a surgeon’s guidance. While the recovery period is longer, the results are significantly more dramatic and durable. Thread lifts, on the other hand, allow patients to resume activities within a few days, but the trade-off is a superficial and short-lived result. Dr. Thornton reminds patients that less downtime does not equal better results, and convenience should never outweigh safety or effectiveness when choosing a cosmetic procedure.

The article further explains the anatomical distinctions between the two approaches. A facelift corrects deeper structural issues by repositioning muscles and tissues, releasing facial ligaments, and removing excess skin. This method restores youthful definition to the jawline, jowls, midface, cheeks, and neck in ways that thread lifts cannot achieve. Thread lifts primarily affect the superficial skin layers, meaning they cannot adequately address significant sagging, deeper wrinkles, or volume loss. For patients seeking meaningful facial rejuvenation, thread lifts fall short of the surgical precision and durability of a facelift.

Dr. Thornton’s strong stance against thread lifts is based on years of surgical training and hands-on experience in facial rejuvenation. As the Surgical Director of Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center, he has seen the growing trend of thread lifts and the number of patients disappointed with their outcomes. Many of these patients later turn to his practice seeking corrective options after investing in procedures that failed to meet expectations.

Patients seeking the growing demand for facial rejuvenation procedures will find this article timely and informative, as it provides a balanced yet decisive explanation of why facelifts remain the gold standard. It also sheds light on the marketing tactics behind thread lifts, which are often promoted as an easier alternative despite their significant limitations and risks. Patients researching facial rejuvenation options will gain valuable insight into why investing in a surgical facelift with a qualified cosmetic plastic surgeon ensures safer outcomes, longer-lasting results, and overall better value.

Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center continues to be a trusted provider for patients in Texas seeking advanced cosmetic procedures performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon. Dr. Thornton personally performs all surgical and non-surgical treatments at the practice, including facelifts, eyelid surgery, fat transfer, dermal fillers, Botox and Xeomin injections, and advanced laser skin resurfacing. His commitment to patient safety, education, and individualized care sets the practice apart and reflects Dr. Thornton’s mission of delivering natural-looking, lasting results with the highest standard of care. Each patient receives one-on-one personal attention, ensuring their experience is both safe and tailored to their unique needs.

Trendsi, a supply chain solutions provider for fashion e-commerce businesses, today announced significant findings from its latest user poll. The results confirm that Trendsi tops UK user survey for fashion dropshipping, with a majority of responding boutique owners selecting it as their preferred vendor. The survey was designed to gather quantitative and qualitative feedback on the platform’s performance and its role within the British online retail ecosystem.

Founded in 2020, Trendsi provides backend services for online retailers, including those operating on major platforms like Shopify and TikTok Shop. The company, with operational teams in the US and Asia, offers a suite of services that includes product sourcing, real-time inventory synchronization, order fulfillment, and returns processing for its clients.

The United Kingdom’s dynamic fashion e-commerce market presents a specific set of challenges for independent and emerging retailers. These include high capital requirements for inventory investment, intense competition from established brands, and increasingly complex logistical demands from consumers. In the Trendsi survey, respondents were asked to identify key operational hurdles. A recurring theme in the feedback was the utility of the dropshipping model in mitigating these challenges. The model allows business owners to allocate resources away from inventory management and toward brand development, marketing, and customer service.

The positive outcome of the poll, showing that Trendsi tops UK user survey for fashion dropshipping, is attributed by users to several key performance indicators. Respondents based their preference on factors including the variety and regular updating of available fashion items, the reliability of automated inventory synchronization to prevent overselling, and the stated efficiency of order fulfillment processes. One boutique owner from Manchester commented, “Their reliability is the main reason. It allows us to compete with larger stores without worrying about logistics.””We regularly survey our users to ensure our service development is aligned with their real-world needs, and we decided to share the results from our UK community,” stated Sherwin Xia, Co-Founder of Trendsi. “The positive feedback is a confirmation that our focus on building a robust, simplified supply chain addresses tangible problems for fashion entrepreneurs. The data suggests that by removing logistical friction, we enable them to be more agile in a fast-moving market. These insights are valuable, and they will directly inform our roadmap as we continue to refine the platform.”

Trendsi’s platform functions by enabling retailers to select and list products from a large, centralized catalog without holding the physical stock themselves. When a retailer makes a sale, the order is automatically routed to Trendsi, which then ships the product directly to the end customer. This model provides retailers with greater flexibility and reduces upfront financial risk. The fact that Trendsi tops UK user survey for fashion dropshipping provides a clear data point on the successful application of this model in a mature e-commerce market like the United Kingdom.

About Trendsi: Trendsi, founded in 2020, is a fashion technology company with a mission to simplify the supply chain for modern e-commerce entrepreneurs. It provides powerful backend services to online retailers, including those on major platforms like Shopify and TikTok Shop. The company offers an all-in-one platform that includes product sourcing, dropshipping, private labeling, and manufacturing solutions. These tools are designed for a global client base of online boutiques and retail brands, empowering them to launch and scale their businesses with minimal risk
