Addiction Recovery

Addiction Recovery
At Narconon Arrowhead we apply the word recovery in its fullest sense. We do not operate under the false assumption of once an addict, always an addict. Recovery means to return to a normal state or an improved state following a setback or loss; it also means gaining back something lost. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in addiction recovery which leads to a drug free productive life for a lifetime. Getting the drugs fully out of the body (not just withdrawal), handling the factors of cravings, guilt, and depression so often accompanying and adding to addiction, and the gaining of skills and abilities are all factors leading to full addiction recovery. There is a definite difference between a program that stops drug use, but leaves the underlying reasons untouched, and a program that leads to recovery in the fullest sense of the definitions above.

Drug Use and Addiction

Drug Use
How does one go about determining when drug use crosses the line into drug abuse and addiction? Drugs are used as a solution to pain, be it mental, emotional, or physical. Fore instance one takes a painkiller and physical pain subsides or one take a street drug and the emotional pain of feeling like an outsider goes away. There are many motivations but they all come under the heading of handling pain in one way or another. Drug abuse sets in when the drug is being used more and more to mask and cover up the pain rather than addressing the actual causes of the pain itself. From abuse one quickly moves on to addiction where tolerance to the drugs builds up to the point where the individual can’t conceive of life without them for fear of unbearable pain of one type or another. Ones life then becomes centered on acquiring and using more and more drugs at any cost or sacrifice. Along with this comes all the cravings, guilt and depression that results from harm done to self, family, loved ones, careers, etc.

 

Drug Addiction Recovery and Addiction

Drug Addiction Recovery
In the Encarta dictionary recovery is defined as ‘the return of something to a normal or improved state after a setback or loss’ and ‘the regaining of something lost or taken away’. When speaking of drug addiction recovery what exactly are we recovering, regaining or returning? How about physical health and the natural balance of the body to begin with? Follow this with the return and improvement of extroversion to the individual, accompanied by a renewed zest and vigor for life minus the cravings, guilt, and depression that so often accompany addiction. Drug addiction recovery should also mean recovery for relationships with loved ones of the addict as well. Narconon Arrowhead uses a drug addiction recovery program that not only ends drug use but returns the individual home in not just a normal state, but actually a vastly improved state. This is not our opinion but is proven out by the addicts own statements as well as statements from the loved ones. Drug addiction recovery does not mean tolerable existence but actually an improved drug free productive life!

 

Chemical Dependency Treatment and Addiction

Chemical Dependency Treatment
There are three major components to the Narconon Arrowhead chemical dependency treatment. 1. A full and complete handling of the mental and physical cravings that come from any form of dependency. There is more to this than mere withdrawal from use, though this is a vital starting point. 2. Handling the guilt and depression that comes from the dependent life style and the damage done to self and loved ones. Most addicts, given the know-how and chance will jump at the chance to relieve these devastating feeling that have been keeping them using more and more drugs and alcohol in a failed attempt to find some relief. 3. This involves having the needed skills and abilities to fix what damage they can and then go on to create a truly drug free and productive life. Once the individual feels better without drugs or alcohol than they do with them the need for these substances fade away. This is what chemical dependency treatment is all about.

 

Rehab Programs and Addiction

Rehab Programs
There are many different types of rehab programs using many different philosophies and methodologies. Some are long, some are short, some are drug free, some are advocates of using drug therapies to handle other drug addictions, and some built the individual up, while others tear him down with a philosophy of being diseased for life. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional, completely drug free rehab program. We do not operate from the disease concept of addiction but rather assist the individual in confronting their own cravings, guilt, and depression that are the three main points needing address to resolve addiction or alcoholism for a lifetime.
