Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment
There are three key components to any alcohol and drug
abuse treatment.
These are a full address of and handling for cravings, guilt, and depression.
Without a full resolution of these three factors one cannot expect real and lasting results from any alcohol and drug
abuse treatment.
These are the three points that have lead up to the
addiction or
alcoholism and are the three main points that create the continuation of the
addiction or alcoholism.
When it comes to addiction or
alcoholism there are only three choices – jail, death, or sobriety, there really are no other options. Lasting sobriety can be obtained through a full handling of cravings, guilt, and depression.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Addiction clinics are generally out-patient facilities which offer various services to aid in
addiction recovery. Some, such as methadone clinics, are actually involved in simply substituting one drug or another.
This is misguided help as replacing one drug with another is never a long term solution to drug addiction.
This is not to say that
addiction clinics don’t offer some valuable services, most of them do.
An addiction clinic can be a starting point in confronting addiction.
Following up clinic services with a comprehensive long term, impatient drug
rehabilitation program is the best insurance for a drug free productive life. Narconon Arrowhead is such a facility.
The term ‘Alcoholic’ is simply the name given to someone addicted to alcohol.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
All the various formulas regarding how many drinks, how often, are meaningless when reviewed against the above definition.
The compulsive seeking and use could be by the minute, hour, day, etc.
The key is compulsive seeking and use, despite what it does to self, family, or career. It is not that the
alcoholic doesn’t care; it is that the use has become compulsive and the cravings, guilt, and depression keep him or her drinking.
The correct choice of drug and alcohol
treatment is a life altering and (more often than not) a life saving choice.
Here are some of our suggestions at Narconon Arrowhead for what to look for in drug and alcohol
treatment regardless of whether you choose Narconon Arrowhead or not.
First, find a program that is drug free including withdrawal (except when medically needed).
Handling
addiction with more drugs just doesn’t make good sense.
Second find a program that offers full
detoxification in addition to withdrawal only. Stored drugs and toxins can account for cravings and relapse months or even years after last use. Third in our list of most important drug and
alcohol treatment needs is a treatment that fully addresses guilt and depression which almost always accompany drug or alcohol addiction, and in fact can be major factors that led up to the drug or alcohol
abuse to begin with. These are of course not a complete list, but are starting points when exploring various treatment options.
How does Narconon Arrowhead compare to other drug and alcohol rehabs?
We are a long-term residential facility where the individual progress is measured by results and not time spent.
Unlike some
drug and alcohol rehabs we are a drug free facility.
This means no substitute mood altering drugs or substances used in an effort to alleviate some other drug.
We follow this up with a full
detoxification program designed to remove the actual stored quantities of drugs and toxins from the body. Many short term
drug and alcohol rehabs deal mainly in getting the person clean and teaching him how to live as an addict or alcoholic. Narconon Arrowhead deals with terminatedly handling the
addiction or
alcoholism and giving the individual the skills, abilities, health, and personal certainty to live a drug free and productive life.
