Like all addictions, no matter what the substance, once sobriety is achieved then the real work of handling the cravings, guilt and depression begins. These are the barriers that left partially or totally unhandled are the causes of relapse and reversion. Feelings of being stuck with an incurable illness also stem from these three factors.

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!

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

Many people have a misunderstanding when it comes to detox. Quite often it is confused with withdrawal. Withdrawal is the process of ceasing the current drug or alcohol use with enough of the effects handled so as to give the individual a fighting chance at continued sobriety. Detox on the other hand should involve removing the quantities of drugs and toxins that store in the fat tissues of the body, sometimes for years. The Narconon Arrowhead New Life Detoxification Program is done following withdrawal and results in a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being for the individual. Many, if not most, of our detoxification program completions report an end to their drug or alcohol cravings at this point.

Drug and alcohol treatment need not only occur when addiction or alcoholism has set in. Competent drug and alcohol treatment centers realize that treatment of drug abuse can be just as effective, if not more so, than treatment of addiction. One need not have lost everything in order to seek help with a drug or alcohol problem. Drug and alcohol abuse inevitably lead to addiction and alcoholism if allowed to continue unchecked. Once drug addiction or alcoholism is reached there are only three possible endings to the story – jail, death, or sobriety. Narconon Arrowhead drug and alcohol treatment can reverse this dwindling spiral of pain and suffering for self and loved ones and again allow individuals and families to live in the sunshine of a drug free happy productive life!
