Alcoholism
Alcoholism is an
addiction to alcohol.
Addiction is defined as a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
In severe
alcoholism cessation of use can cause delirium tremens and be life threatening.
Medical withdrawal is vital in these situations and needs to be evaluated by competent and informed medical professionals.
Following a full withdrawal from alcohol use the alcoholic’s health and nutrition levels need to be monitored and a program to return them to a health nutritional balance is needed. Follow up with a full
addiction program to address the cravings, guilt, and depression are vital to creating an alcohol free productive life for the individual.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Prescription drug
addictions are on the rise, not only as primary substances of
abuse but also as secondary substances of abuse.
At Narconon Arrowhead statistics show significant numbers of program participants involved in multiple prescription drug
abuse along with any other reported drug
addiction or alcoholism.
This is no small problem when one takes into account the severe debilitating effects occurring on both the mental and physical levels from the abuse of these ‘medications’.
Couple this with severe and often deadly side effects from mixing these substances and the clear rise in violence and suicide that can accompany withdrawal and ones sees a whole new level of
treatment needed in handling today’s addictions.
An inpatient alcohol
treatment clinic is generally short term in nature, dealing in the main with medical complications as the result of extended alcohol
abuse or alcoholism.
The severity of delirium tremens that can occur with cessation of alcohol use in the
alcoholic often require a medically supervised withdrawal process with a close monitoring of other medical complications or conditions.
This approach, though necessary, is only the beginning in the
rehabilitation process for the alcoholic.
Cessation of use and drying out thing, full
rehabilitation requires fully confronting and resolving the cravings, guilt, and depression that result from
alcoholism and are more often than not contributing
factors leading up to alcoholism.

Narconon Arrowhead has a 76% success rate as compared to 16 -20% in more traditional approaches.
Alcoholic Anonymous statistics show a retention rate of 5 – 7%.
12 step
treatment options definitely work for some but not all by a long ways.
Many shorter term inpatient alcohol
treatment centers are based on 12 step methodologies and as such often suffer from the same low retention and success rates.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term inpatient alcohol
treatment center that used the more effective but less traditional methods of education and empowerment.
We do not treat
alcoholism as an incurable disease that one is stuck with for life. Our success rates show that when the factors of cravings, guilt and depression are fully confronted and resolved that the need and desire for alcohol, or other substances for that matter, fades into the past as a motivating factor.
