Success Story for Drug Rehab

When I first came to Narconon Arrowhead’s Drug Rehab, I was shooting five grams of heroin and had no hope. I had tried numerous Twelve step programs. My parents and probation officer were running out of hope and so was I. This drug rehab program has more than met my expectations, along with those of my parents and parole officer. Every other drug rehab program I’ve been to wanted to load me up with psych meds and mess me up even more. I have finally felt what it is like to be normal. I’ve been off all medications including over-the-counter ones for months. When I came here to this drug rehab, I thought my life was over. Due to the technology here, I have been educated and and have forgotten what being a drug addict felt like. I feel so strong and I like myself again. It has been an amazing experience. M.S.

Alcoholism Treatment and Addiction

Alcoholism Treatment
At Narconon Arrowhead alcoholism treatment takes a multi-faceted approach. First there is the necessity to cease current use of alcohol. This can sometimes require medical supervision do to the sometimes life-threatening effect of ceasing use. Then it is necessary to get all of the alcohol toxins out of the body as fully as possible. These lodge in the fat tissues in the body and can create cravings days, months, or even years after last use. The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program achieves this. By far the biggest barriers to continued sobriety are the unhandled cravings, guilt, and depression created by the alcoholic lifestyle and troubles created for self, family, loved ones, and careers. Narconon Arrowhead uses a full array of life skills training to confront and put these three vital factors to rest.

Methadone Addiction and Addiction

Methadone Addiction
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.”

 

Ecstasy Drug and Addiction

Ecstasy Drug
MDMA or "ecstasy" is a Schedule I synthetic, psychoactive drug possessing stimulant and hallucinogenic properties. MDMA possesses chemical variations of the stimulant amphetamine or methamphetamine and a hallucinogen, most often mescaline. MDMA can cause adverse effects including nausea, hallucinations, chills, sweating, increases in body temperature, tremors, involuntary teeth clenching, muscle cramping, and blurred vision. MDMA users also report after-effects of anxiety, paranoia, and depression. An MDMA overdose is characterized by high blood pressure, faintness, panic attacks, and, in more severe cases, loss of consciousness, seizures, and a drastic rise in body temperature. MDMA overdoses can be fatal, as they may result in heart failure or extreme heat stroke.

 

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.
