Joe Pinelli

Joe Pinelli has worked extensively over the years in helping people rid themselves of the harmful effects of drugs, medicines and alcohol.  He is a Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor and Certified Detoxification Specialist and has also specialized in marriage, family and personal counseling.

Through his years of practice, he saw that drugs, medications or alcohol were usually at the root of much of the trouble people were having in their work, family and personal lives.

“Having gone through my teenage years in the 1960’s, I saw firsthand the harmful effects drugs and alcohol had on individuals and the very moral fabric of the culture.  But even those early years were nothing in comparison to the devastation created in our current society with the introduction of psychiatric drugs, antidepressants and other behavioral modification drugs.  The addiction and side effects of these poisons are unlike anything I have seen in my 30 plus years of practice.  People are being prescribed antidepressants and psychotropic drugs as commonly today as aspirin was 50 years ago.  My purpose is to help others get their lives back by freeing them of these chemical dependencies.”

Today, Mr. Pinelli practices at the Institute of Detoxification and Health, in the Woodlands, Texas, using the Hubbard method of detoxification in coordination with his colleagues in the medical, chiropractic and alternative medicine fields.

Mr. Pinelli is certified with the National Association of Forensic Counselors (NAFC) and the International Academy of Detoxification Specialists.

Claire Pinelli has been a personal counselor and educator since 1973.  She has taught children of all ages [pre-school through college] in both the private and public sectors.  As and educator, Ms. Pinelli witnessed first hand the effects that alcohol and drugs [both illegal and prescribed] had on our young people; our future.  So in 2001 Mrs. Pinelli began specializing in treating alcohol and drug abuse. 

She has been the Senior Case Supervisor of a long term residential drug rehabilitation program in Oklahoma, Narconon Arrowhead, which was servicing over 200 clients daily.  Her duties at Narconon Arrowhead included monitoring the quality of clinical delivery to each client as well as ensuring that the counselors were well trained professionals and capable of helping their clients beat addiction problems.

It became apparent to her that more well trained Alcohol and Drug Counselors were needed if the global epidemic was going to be confronted.  Mrs. Pinelli then decided she had to put her attention on training Alcohol and Drug Counselors so that they could better service the clients and produce more drug free individuals who would be able to go out and remain drug free and contribute to society.

While she continues working on the training of Alcohol and Drug Counselors she is now focusing her attention on assisting people to handle the physical effects drugs have had on them.  As the drugs and toxins remain in the individual’s body for years after cessation of use, Mrs. Pinelli has helped start, The Institute for Detoxification and Health in The Woodlands, Texas with other professionals in order to assist people in ridding their bodies of these poisons.  Once the body is free of these stored toxins the person will look and feel better both emotionally and physically.  This gives them a stable point from which they can continue their lives.
