Alcohol Addiction
Alcoholism is the usual term applied to someone with an alcohol addiction.
The physiological and psychological affects of
alcoholism can be quite severe.
At high levels of daily alcohol use the user can run the risk of severe withdrawal called delirium tremens which can be life threatening.
Such alcohol
addiction requires full medical supervision until the threat to life is reduced.
Most 28 day traditional
treatment programs are only able to affect a success ratio of 16% to 20% in achieving lasting sobriety. Cravings, guilt and depression are the three factors preventing long term success with alcohol addiction, or any other for that matter. These three points usually require a more thorough address than that received in the shorter programs.
Drug Rehab Information By State
An outpatient
rehab is a drug
treatment facility where the individual goes for
treatment and then returns home at the end of the day. It could be the personal goes for a
counseling session, or perhaps a seminar.
All day seminars are often used as well.
These offer viable services for those with a lighter
abuse problem or as a starting point for full treatment. One thing that should be watched for in medical outpatient rehabs is the use of additional drugs in a mistaken attempt to handle the current drug problem, such as methadone.
For most with a serious drug
abuse and
addiction problem an impatient and more long term treatment program is more effective, though outpatient treatment can be a good beginning if chosen carefully.
Cocaine
addiction can involve the use of powder cocaine or the more potent form of cocaine known as crack.
Both are highly addictive, but crack creates an almost instantaneous short lived feeling of euphoria.
More and more of the substance is used more and more often in an attempt to regain the feelings of euphoria.
The cocaine initially filled some sort of need for the individual.
Perhaps it was only the need to fit in. Cravings, guilt, and depression soon set in and only get worse as the individual violates his own values and those of his family and loved ones in an attempt to simply get back to some feeling of normality. It is a deadly trap that can only end one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety
What makes Narconon unique as a drug
addiction rehab facility?
First and foremost Narconon is primarily staffed by former addicts who have gone on to become trained as
addiction recovery specialists. Our staff has ‘been there and done that’.
We know full well what it takes to overcome the cravings, the guilt, and the depression. These are the key points in creating and then continuing addiction, and are also the key points that need fully and completely addressed if one is to create a drug free productive life.
This factor of caring compassionate staff who have been there themselves should not be ignored.
Nobody knows what an addict is going through and what it takes for full recovery like an ex-addict who has been through it themselves.
Drug
abuse begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain for which the individual does not have an immediate answer. The person feels that his problem or pain is major, persistent, and without solution or relief.
For these reasons, some people, young or old, male or female, high income or low, begin to use potentially addictive drugs or alcohol in an attempt to relieve the pain or discomfort.
These drugs may even offer temporary relief.
At this point the individual will continue to use in an effort to find continuing relief.
Tolerance for the drug or alcohol sets in requiring larger and larger doses more and more often to obtain the same results. At this point the door has been opened to drug
abuse and it is only a short walk to full blown addiction.
