Success Story - Adult Drug Rehab
When I came to Narconon Arrowhead, I had been fighting a battle with drugs and was getting my butt kicked. I was out of bullets and had no control over my life. I knew that I needed help, but did not honestly think anything could be done, because I was in too deep with an unethical lifestyle of crime and drug use. I was a terrible, dishonest son, an un-loyal, non-supportive father and husband. My mom never gave up on my ability to get help and turn my life around. She got me here to Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Treatment Center. This program starts off great and keeps getting better. I have gained the ability to properly communicate with people. By completing the sauna program, I feel so much better and have regained a clear body and mind. I am aware of my life and I no longer dwell on past problems that kept me held up in life. I have regained the ability to be in full control of my life and make conscious, wise decisions. I know that I can have anything in life I want. I now know about all the areas that make up my life and what I must do to survive. I will soon be back on the battle ground in North Florida, but thanks to the Narconon Arrowhead staff and technology I learned, I have plenty of bullets to fight back with. I am confident in myself and know I am finally ready to return home to my family and remain drug-free forever. R.K.
Drug Intervention
Drug Intervention is often effective when all else has failed in attempts to help someone suffering from
addiction or alcoholism.
Many times the addict or
alcoholic already feels he has totally failed his loved ones and cannot face them.
The guilt and depression is just too much to confront.
Even though they may be in the same room listening to loved ones they really aren’t hearing anything. Drug intervention can offer some order and effectiveness to aid the true desire of both the addict and the family to find workable solutions.
Yes, despite all appearances to the contrary, the addict or
alcoholic is seeking a way out of the trap and does want to stop his use. An effective
drug intervention can take that hope and desire, no matter how small, and create a willingness to do something and accept help.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Any drug could be an
addiction drug if the individual finds himself unable to control the use of it.
An
addiction drug causes physical addiction, mental addiction, or both.
Drugs are essentially poisons.
The amount taken determines the effect.
A small amount of a given drug acts as a stimulant, a larger dose will act as a depressant, and enough of any particular drug can kill one dead. An
addiction drug becomes addictive when the individual’s attempt to handle mental or physical pain becomes dependant on the use of the drug, and the individual craves the relief that only ‘appears’ to come from the use of the substance. The substances in the long run will be found to escalate the discomfort and create new emotional and physical side effects in many cases, thus not only are dosages increased but one often finds himself using new drugs to try and counteract these new side effects. Once an individual is restored to an ability to feel better (mentally and physically) without the use of the drug, then one no longer requires the drug and
rehabilitation can progress to an address of the underlying causes.
Drug
treatment at Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, drug free and non traditional experience.
Long term because we work not from the viewpoint of time spent, but from the viewpoint of results obtained.
It is self-paced and generally is 90-120 days.
It is drug free as we use no substitute prescriptions drugs to handle an already existing
addiction problem, such as substituting methadone for heroin. (Methadone is actually more harmful and addictive than heroin).
Non-traditional because we do not believe
addiction is a disease that must be borne for a life time. We empower the individual with new skills and abilities that allows for the creation of a lifetime of drug free, happy and productive living.
Many people have a misunderstanding when it comes to detox.
Quite often it is confused with withdrawal.
Withdrawal is the process of ceasing the current drug or alcohol use with enough of the effects handled so as to give the individual a fighting chance at continued sobriety.
Detox on the other hand should involve removing the quantities of drugs and toxins that store in the fat tissues of the body, sometimes for years.
The Narconon Arrowhead New Life
Detoxification Program is done following withdrawal and results in a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being for the individual. Many, if not most, of our
detoxification program completions report an end to their drug or alcohol cravings at this point.
Each drug or substance can of course have its own symptoms of
abuse and addiction; however there are a couple of general points that can be made about addiction.
Addiction generally is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by physiological and physical dependence with the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the drug or alcohol is rapidly decreased or terminated.
When
addiction exists, the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
With
addiction life more and more revolves around getting and using the drugs.
Family, health, career, finances, all take more and more of a back seat as important factors in life as the addiction continues to increasingly absorb the addicts attention and energies.
