Addiction Recovery
There are several things necessary in order to affect
addiction recovery for a life time.
One of these is a drug free withdrawal and full
detoxification program.
Substitute or maintenance drugs are not a viable long term option.
Ask any heroin addict who is now using methadone in addition to heroin, or ask any meth addict who now finds themselves abusing anti-depressants on a regular basis.
Using additional drugs does not handle the barriers to continued drug use, but only adds to them. At Narconon Arrowhead most of our participants who have completed the New Life
Detoxification Program report and end to cravings, have removed all drugs and toxins from the body, and show a marked resurgence in overall sense of well-being.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Detox in many drug
rehab programs involves weaning the addict or
alcoholic off the use of the drugs or alcohol.
While this is an important and vital action, it is only part of a true detoxification.
One definition in the Encarta dictionary states; ‘process of removing or transforming poison’.
At Narconon Arrowhead our ‘detox’ protocols include ceasing use of the drugs or alcohol as above, but also include the additional step of The New Life
Detoxification Program.
This extensive program involves an exact procedure for actually removing drugs and toxins from the body. Many, many addicts have reported a complete cessation of cravings following the New Life
Detoxification Program.
Detox is only the start of the healing process and needs to be as complete and thorough as possible to ensure lasting gains for a lifetime.
Cravings (both mental and physical) for increasing and continuing use of drugs and alcohol.
Guilt as a result of all the harm and damage done to self, loved ones, and others.
Depression resulting from failed hopes and dreams, and the feelings of being trapped in a vicious cycle with no escape.
These are the points that must be handled by a drug and alcohol
rehab center if that
treatment is to be effective and create change for a lifetime.
An effective drug and alcohol
rehab center knows there is much more to
treatment than merely getting someone to quit using. At Narconon Arrowhead we know there are only three paths available once
addiction or
alcoholism has set in – jail, death, or sobriety. A drug and alcohol free life is possible without constant worry of relapse.
Methamphetamine comes in many forms and can be smoked, snorted, orally ingested, or injected. The drug alters moods in different ways, depending on how it is taken. Immediately after smoking the drug or injecting it, the user experiences an intense rush or ‘flash’ that lasts only a few minutes. Snorting or oral ingestion produces euphoria -- a high but not an intense rush. As with similar stimulants, methamphetamine most often is used in a ‘binge and crash’ pattern. Because tolerance for methamphetamine occurs within minutes -- meaning that the pleasurable effects disappear even before the drug concentration in the blood falls significantly -- users try to maintain the high by binging on the drug.
Marijuana is to most commonly used
illegal drug in the world.
Marijuana contains more than 400 different toxins and cancer causing chemicals. During the 1970’s researched uncovered the fact that marijuana’s active ingredient ‘THC’ lodged in the fatty tissues of the body for months and years. This puts the person that smokes two or three joints a week constantly under the influence of the drug. Next to alcohol, marijuana is the second most frequently found substance in the bodies of drivers involved in fatal automobile accidents. With stronger and stronger strains of marijuana hitting the streets it is no wonder that more and more individuals are seeking
treatment for marijuana addiction.
