Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab Program

I’ve finished the Narconon Arrowhead drug alcohol rehabilitation program and I feel great. When I arrived at drug rehab, I was completely hopeless and thought that my life was to be nothing more than sticking needles in my arm. That thought continued until sauna where something happened. All of a sudden I was positive and rational. Throughout the rest of my drug rehab program, I realized I could stay sober, that I could do anything I wanted to and I will! Thank you. K.K.

Marijuana Addiction and Addiction

Marijuana Addiction
The dangers and harm done by marijuana use has been under debate for decades and show no signs of lessening. Whether marijuana addiction exists or not is even more hotly debated. Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. When addiction exists, the drug controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. Statistics do show increasing numbers of people entering addiction treatment reporting marijuana as their primary drug of abuse. Add to this the much stronger strains of marijuana available and the tendency to mix the drug with other substances such or crack and PCP and the potential for addiction becomes more pronounced. Rather than endlessly debate the issue, one should simply look at the marijuana use of self or a loved one against the above definition.

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
Heroin addiction, as with any of the opium derivatives, creates a severe physical/mental dependency. With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more and more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. With heroin addiction the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in heroin addiction may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘cold turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Narconon Arrowheads unique approach to withdrawal keeps these symptoms to a minimum and by actual report sometimes totally removes these symptoms.

 

Drug Rehab Program and Addiction

Drug Rehab Program
When previous attempts to handle addiction have failed, one could look at a drug rehab program that offers effective alternatives before one gives up. One of these is Narconon Arrowhead with a long term, drug free, non-traditional approach which achieves a 76% success rate. What has not proven effective is substitute drug treatment. Methadone, anti-depressants and other prescription medications are designed to mask the symptoms of addiction. For all intents and purposes one is trading one addiction for another. An alternative program can offer hope and produce lasting results when addiction has gone beyond the reach of the more traditional approaches.

 

Addiction Drug and Addiction

Addiction Drug
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.
