Drug Treatment and Addiction

Drug Treatment
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.

Drug Overdose and Addiction

Drug Overdose
When you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate a drug overdose can occur. Most drugs create a tolerance with increasing amounts needed to create the same effects. Drug abusers and addicts are constantly faced with the risk of a drug overdose. There can be a fine line between getting the high they're seeking and overdose leading to serious injury or death. Mixing drugs such as heroin, pills and alcohol is the most common cause of death by overdose. More and more participants in drug rehabilitation are reporting multiple drugs being abuse simultaneously. This vastly increases the medical complications that can result from this dangerous mixing of drug ‘cocktails’. This is all in addiction to the sometimes life threatening side effects that can occur from abusing prescription drugs especially painkillers and anti-depressants.

 

Inpatient Rehabilitation Center and Addiction

Inpatient Rehabilitation Center
An inpatient rehabilitation center, other points being equal, is superior to an outpatient center when it comes to effectively handling substance abuse and addiction. Inpatient is where the client resides at the rehabilitation center as opposed to commuting. One reason it is more effective is simply being able to remove the individual from the environment where the addiction was running out of control. Away from dealers, family and job stresses, and any other triggers. Another reason is being among like minded peers who are seeking real and workable answers. There are of course differences in willingness and desire to achieve a drug free life. At Narconon Arrowhead, which is an inpatient rehabilitation center, we have seen the benefits of one addict truly caring about and assisting another addict to many times to discount this. It is a major benefit of rehabilitation - The ability to help and be helped in return.

 

Drug Abuse Rehab and Addiction

Drug Abuse Rehab
Narconon Arrowhead is not only a drug addiction rehab, but is also a drug abuse rehab. In reality these two are very similar with the main difference being degree of use. If we understand drug abuse as ‘the harmful and illegal non-medicinal use of drugs or alcohol’; and addiction as ‘a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite social, mental, and physical consequences’ we see that the line between the two is small at best. Cravings, guilt, and depression resulting from drug or alcohol use are the common denominators between the two and ARE the points needing resolved if one is to achieve lasting sobriety from either abuse or addiction.
