Inpatient Drug Rehab and Addiction

Inpatient Drug Rehab
Addiction treatment services are not all equal. Finding the correct inpatient drug rehab is essential. Some are withdrawal services only. Some inpatient drug rehab services embrace a drug free approach to rehabilitation while others feel that somehow more or different drugs are the answer. 12 step rehabs are the norm but with dismally low success rates inpatient drug rehab treatment is moving more and more in a non-traditional direction. Narconon Arrowhead is a drug free, long-term inpatient drug rehab that has been embracing non-traditional methodology for over 40 years with success rates that are among the highest of all inpatient drug rehabs – non-traditional or not.

Drug Facts and Addiction

Drug Facts
There are common denominators between drugs though each may have its own effects and side effects. All drugs are essentially poisons with the amount taken determining the effect. A small amount of any drug will act as a stimulant (increases activity). A larger amount of any drug will act as a sedative (suppressing activity). A still larger amount poisons and can kill. This is true of any drug and only the amount needed differs. Drugs act to block of sensations, unfortunately this includes desirable sensations as well as unwanted sensations. Though sometimes of short term value in handling pain, they also wipe out ability, alertness, and greatly confuse thinking processes. At an addictive level drugs serve as major sources of numbing mental and physical sensation, while at the same time increasing unwanted attitudes, emotions, sensations, and pains, when attempts are made to cease use.

 

Relapse Prevention and Addiction

Relapse Prevention
This may sound obvious but the time for relapse prevention is before the relapse, not after. Too often relapse prevention refers to the next relapse instead of just removing relapse as an issue to begin with. Through 40 years of experience Narconon has discovered and found workable solution to the three causes of relapse – Cravings, guilt, and depression. Make no mistake these are the factors leading to relapse. At Narconon Arrowhead we have a 76% success rate among our graduates. We give the program participants the skills, tools, and abilities to prevent relapse from even getting out of the starting gate.

 

Side Effects of Addiction and Addiction

Side Effects of Addiction
Each alcohol or drug can and does have its own set of side effects; however there are some side effects that are common to any form of addiction. These can be classed under the broad categories of cravings, guilt and depression. Cravings are the intense feeling of physical or emotion need for more drugs or alcohol. Guilt and depression are the inevitable side effects of all the things the individual has done to hurt or harm himself, his family and loved one, friends, associates, and others in general. These feelings along with cravings make it very difficult for the individual to stay away from drugs or alcohol. As he or she has a very hard time confronting the reality of the harm created, the drugs appear to be the only solution to remove the physical and emotional pain. It is a deadly trap as the drugs are the main contributor to these feelings.
