Long term Drug Treatment Success Story

I came here to drug rehab some months ago in a brutal state. I was underweight, unhealthy and extremely sick. I had an addiction to opiates that I just could not kick. After getting through withdrawal and completing sauna, I finally got my body healthy. About the middle of the program, my mind really began to change for the better. The rest of the program really helped me see how I should live. Somewhere along the line, something really changed inside of me and I realized how important my life is. I am very confident that I’ll remain drug-free. I give my thanks to the Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab program. S.T.

How Addiction Occurs and Addiction

How Addiction Occurs
The cycle of addiction begins with a problem, discomfort, or physical or emotional pain. Drugs or alcohol are used in an effort to find relief. Short term temporary relief is found which give the drug or alcohol value in the eye of the user. When confronted with the problem, pain, etc. again in the future the individual is prone to use the drug or alcohol again. The problem arises when it takes more and more of the drug or alcohol to get the same effect and instead of handling the source of the problem or pain the drugs are continually used to mask the symptoms while the problem itself continues to get worse. The drugs and alcohol themselves create new physical problems, shut of awareness and ability, all of which simply increases the symptoms to the point of the person being obsessed with finding and using the drugs or alcohol to numb himself, despite consequences to self and family.

Illegal Drug and Addiction

Illegal Drug
Many people mistakenly believe the drug problems of our culture center around the use of an illegal drug or substance. While these drugs certainly play a major role in drug abuse and addiction the problem is definitely not confined to the illegal drug. In fact one of the fastest growing areas of drug treatment lies in the area of abuse and addiction to prescription drugs. Painkillers, Anti-Depressants, and Anti-Psychotics have all shown epidemic rises in addiction and addiction treatment. Many of these drugs have black box warnings from the FDA of some of the severe and often life threatening side affects that can occur with their use, let alone use at abusive and addictive levels. Some of these prescriptions drugs are finding there way into use as treatments for illegal drug abuse. This has the analogy of jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

 

Drug and Alcohol Rehabs and Addiction

Drug and Alcohol Rehabs
How does Narconon Arrowhead compare to other drug and alcohol rehabs? We are a long-term residential facility where the individual progress is measured by results and not time spent. Unlike some drug and alcohol rehabs we are a drug free facility. This means no substitute mood altering drugs or substances used in an effort to alleviate some other drug. We follow this up with a full detoxification program designed to remove the actual stored quantities of drugs and toxins from the body. Many short term drug and alcohol rehabs deal mainly in getting the person clean and teaching him how to live as an addict or alcoholic. Narconon Arrowhead deals with terminatedly handling the addiction or alcoholism and giving the individual the skills, abilities, health, and personal certainty to live a drug free and productive life.

 

Chemical Dependency and Addiction

Chemical Dependency
Per the Encarta dictionary chemical dependency is addiction to a chemical substance or drug. Dependency can be further defined as the mental or physical need to use a drug or other substance regularly, despite the fact that they are likely to have a damaging effect. Chemical dependency knows no educational, class, race, or social bounds. Most chemical dependency starts out as an attempt to handle some sort of physical or emotional problem. Some do offer small relief in the short term. The problem enters as more and more use occurs. The very problems originally trying to be solved are now being perpetuated and amplified by the drug use. The individual can not confront perceived pain (emotional or physical) that he feels will come from not using.
