Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab Program
I’ve finished the Narconon Arrowhead drug alcohol rehabilitation program and I feel great. When I arrived at drug rehab, I was completely hopeless and thought that my life was to be nothing more than sticking needles in my arm. That thought continued until sauna where something happened. All of a sudden I was positive and rational. Throughout the rest of my drug rehab program, I realized I could stay sober, that I could do anything I wanted to and I will! Thank you. K.K.

Drug Rehab Information By State
In researching for an effective
rehab facility for yourself or a loved one there are several factors that should be taken into consideration.
Long-term facilities are statistically shown to produce more lasting results.
There are a myriad of issues to handle in most
addiction cases and is not achieved overnight.
A drug free facility is another vital factor.
Some initial medication may be called for in the withdrawal process as withdraw from many substances can be life threatening if the individual is not weaned of the drug or alcohol properly. Another important factor is a full and complete handling of the cravings, and feelings of guilt and depression resulting from addiction. Failure to fully handle these three factors is the number one reasons behind relapse or continued use following treatment.
Drug Rehab Information By City
Cravings (both mental and physical) for increasing and continuing use of drugs and alcohol.
Guilt as a result of all the harm and damage done to self, loved ones, and others.
Depression resulting from failed hopes and dreams, and the feelings of being trapped in a vicious cycle with no escape.
These are the points that must be handled by a drug and alcohol
rehab center if that
treatment is to be effective and create change for a lifetime.
An effective drug and alcohol
rehab center knows there is much more to
treatment than merely getting someone to quit using. At Narconon Arrowhead we know there are only three paths available once
addiction or
alcoholism has set in – jail, death, or sobriety. A drug and alcohol free life is possible without constant worry of relapse.
Rehab involves returning to a previous condition and preferably an improvement of even that. Recovery involves the gaining back of things lost.
Truly effective
addiction treatment will address both of these factors.
Rehabilitation would involve ceasing drug and alcohol use altogether and effecting a complete
detoxification of the system of store drugs and chemicals in the fatty tissues of the body.
Cravings, guilt and depression would then be fully addressed as these are the causes of continued
drug use or relapse. Recovery will also involve gaining the needed life skills and abilities to begin repairing the damage to self and others that has been created as well as tools to move forward towards ones actual hopes and dreams with a new drug free productive life.
As an opiate, regular use of methadone causes physical dependency - if you've been using it regularly (prescribed or not) once you stop you will experience a withdrawal. The physical changes due to the drug are similar to other opiates (like heroin). If you are a woman using methadone you may not have regular periods - but you are still able to conceive. Methadone is a long-acting opioid; it has an effect for up to 36 hours (if you are using methadone you will not withdraw for this period) A Personal story of methadone withdrawal:
“I've been on both ends of withdrawals, heroin and methadone, every patient of methadone will always tell you the same, as I do; I can kick heroin anytime, but methadone that is something else. In 15 yrs of heroin addiction, I've kicked 3 times, 'cold-turkey'. In 10 years on methadone I've never kicked methadone.”
