Drug Overdose
When you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate a
drug overdose can occur.
Most drugs create a tolerance with increasing amounts needed to create the same effects. Drug abusers and addicts are constantly faced with the risk of a drug overdose. There can be a fine line between getting the high they're seeking and overdose leading to serious injury or death. Mixing drugs such as heroin, pills and alcohol is the most common cause of death by overdose.
More and more participants in drug
rehabilitation are reporting multiple drugs being
abuse simultaneously. This vastly increases the medical complications that can result from this dangerous mixing of drug ‘cocktails’.
This is all in
addiction to the sometimes life threatening side effects that can occur from abusing
prescription drugs especially painkillers and anti-depressants.
Drug Rehab Information By State
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.
Relapse all too often in the
rehab community is considered almost inevitable.
This comes from a defeatist mentality after year of failure in addressing the situation.
Relapse CAN be prevented and is not a forgone conclusion. If one fully address and handles cravings, guilt and depression then relapse fades away as a point of concern.
This may sound over-simplified but really isn’t.
Narconon has a 76% success rate and over 40 years experience in handling exactly these factors with a long term, drug free and non-traditional approach to these exact three points. A Narconon Arrowhead we create drug free productive lives for a lifetime.
Drug symptoms are various and quite numerous depending on what drug or what combination of drugs are being abused.
One thing is clear however – when
addiction exists the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the drug use.
Some drugs stimulate, some depress, some hallucinate, and all of this can vary widely depending on the types as well as quantities being abused.
At Narconon Arrowhead testing and interviews are done concerning drug symptoms, and are then done again and again. The story and the picture of the individuals
addiction will then get clearer and clearer and the fog of addiction lifts more and more as the program is progressed through.
As individuals and loved ones move through a seemingly endless cycle of rehab, relapse, rehab, relapse etc. one cannot but wonder what the solution is.
More and more people are looking for long term drug
rehabilitation as a more viable and lasting solution.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term drug
rehabilitation facility, but we take this even one step further.
Our
rehab services are based on RESULTS and not on time spent.
Ours is a self-paced program to assist the individual in confronting all the factors necessary to go beyond hope and actually achieve a drug free productive lifetime. Average time is around 90-120 days, some take longer. It is not a matter of ‘you have been here X amount of time and now its time for you to go’. It is a matter of getting all the tools, abilities, and skills needed to end all the cravings, and feeling of quilt and depression that are the major reasons behind relapse.
