Narconon Arrowhead Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center Success Story

Wow! I never thought I would be 120 days sober, ever again in my life, but thanks to the Narconon Arrowhead Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center, this has happened. Furthermore, I look forward to increasing that number every day. Before I came here to drug rehab I was lost in a sea of hopelessness. I knew how to be an addict and that’s about it. I never admitted to myself that I had a problem. My family was slowly throwing me away. In a matter of three months, I did a 180-degree turnaround in almost every aspect of my life. I’m comfortable in my environment and with myself. I’m able to communicate and confront. Best of all, I know how to stay sober. I am so excited about my future here and with my family and friends. I have my dreams back! E.V.

Addiction - Abuse and Addiction

Addiction - Abuse
Drug abuse occurs with any use of illegal substances and also occurs when prescription drugs are taken in excess of recommended dosages or for longer than prescribed. Addiction is the inevitable next step forward if drug abuse is not handled. Addiction is the compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. At this point the abuse of drugs goes beyond just impacting the individual and is severely impacting family, loved ones, finances and careers. When the individual moves from abuse to addiction the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.

Addiction Recovery Program and Addiction

Addiction Recovery Program
An effective addiction recovery program should be much more than just withdrawal or a few meetings. A truly effective addiction recovery program will be a series of actions or steps, done in the correct sequence, each of which would full handle a particular aspect of addiction. All of the steps or actions added together should add up to a drug free productive life that lasts and is not subject to constant reversion or relapse. Three of the main factors needing resolved are cravings, guilt, and depression. These are quite often the factors that not only lead up to addiction, but then continue it despite the addict’s best efforts at staying clean. Narconon Arrowhead is a comprehensive addiction recovery program whose state purpose is not only drug use cessation but a drug free productive life for our program participants.

 

Substance Abuse and Addiction

Substance Abuse
What is the connection and where is the line between substance abuse and addiction? Drug use begins as an attempt to relieve some sort of pain, whether emotion or physical pain or a combination of the two. The drugs do not solve or remedy the source of mental or physical pain but rather mask or remove symptoms only. As one uses more and more of the drugs in attempt to escape the stresses of life rather than solve them abuse sets in, often accompanied by abuse of additional substances. When the individual finds himself unable and/or unwilling to cease use on his own and life revolves around obtaining and using more and more drugs despite attempts to stop addiction has set in. Narconon Arrowhead handles all the factors involved in substance abuse or addiction and give back to the individual a drug free and productive life.

 

12 Step Program and Addiction

12 Step Program
The 12 step program has been around in various forms since the 1920’s. It basically involves 12 different steps done by the addict or alcoholic in an attempt to gain control over the addiction or alcoholism. There are thousands of local meetings throughout the world whose membership uses the 12 steps as their basic approach. Many of the short term drug rehabs also use the 12 step approach to solving addiction or alcoholism. There is absolutely no doubt that this approach works for some and works well. However, overall success rates tend to be dismally low. For instance AA reports a meager 5-7% retention rate for those attending these meetings. All is not hopeless for you or a loved one who has found a 12 step program not fully handling addiction or alcoholism. There are more non-traditional alternatives available with significantly higher success rates; Narconon Arrowhead is one of these.
