Detoxification
Many programs consider withdrawal from the particular drug of
addiction to be detoxification.
The is only a partial answer and when substitute drugs are given to replace the substance of
abuse this is hardly
detoxification at all and is often simply trading one substance for another, as in the use of some anti-depressants, or drugs like methadone, etc.
Detoxification means to remove drugs, poisons and toxins from the body as fully as possible.
Research clearly indicates that these substances will store in the fatty tissues of the body for months and even years.
This in part accounts for drugged feeling and cravings appearing long after use has ceased. At Narconon Arrowhead we follow up withdrawal from use with the New Life
Detoxification Program. This is state of the art
detoxification embracing nutrition, exercise, and sauna routines to flush the stored drugs and toxins from the body. Many of the people completing this detoxification program report a complete handling and end of drug cravings, with rises in intelligence and ability demonstrated by actual test results.
Drug Rehab Information By State
An estimated 200 million people internationally consume illegal drugs. Drug statistics in the United States for 2003 per National Survey on
Drug Use and Health shows 19.5 million Americans were illicit drug users in the month prior to the survey.
The most commonly abused drug in the U.S. is alcohol with alcohol related motor accidents being the second leading cause of teen death in the U.S.
The most commonly used illicit drug is marijuana.
According to the world drug report for 2005 from the United Nations about 4% of the world population abuses cannabis.
In the U.S.
drug statistics from the Center for Disease Control show 45%of high school students drink alcohol and 22% smoke pot.
Executive Director of Narconon Arrowhead Gary W. Smith reports, ‘Although the number of people coming to us who are abusing pot is a smaller percentage of our total clientele, in the 30 years I have been in the drug
rehabilitation field I have not seen these numbers of individuals literally hooked on marijuana and unable to stop on their own.
We’ve known for a long time that marijuana use can lead to other drugs but it is shocking to see people whose lives are being destroyed by smoking pot just like others we are treating who are addicted to crack or alcohol.
I believe this is happening because the strength of the pot that is being smoked today is probably ten times stronger than the pot of 20 years ago.’
At Narconon Arrowhead we do no refer to our participants as ‘patients’ but rather they are considered ‘students’. Using the word ‘patient’ tends to give an erroneous impression of illness and disease, which is not the main thrust of our program.
Certainly issues of health and nutrition need to corrected, especially in the withdrawal and
detoxification phases of the program. The term student is used as we are educating the individual into the use of the tools and abilities needed to sustain a continuous drug free productive life and to confront and resolve the three main factors behind relapse and continued use.
Addiction is not a disease of a lifetime.
It can and is being ended on a daily basis here a Narconon Arrowhead.
When we say
addiction treatments it implies more than one, and so it is.
If we define
treatment per the Encarta dictionary as ‘the particular way somebody or something is dealt with or handled’, we can see that there are usually various ways to achieve this.
When it comes to the many
addiction treatments available one can be overwhelmed with all the options.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term and non-traditional approach to solving addiction.
What this means is that Narconon methodologies do not use the disease approach to addiction where one is considered ‘sick’ or ‘ill’ for a lifetime. Narconon is an empowering approach where we assist the individual to fully confront and handle the mental and physical cravings, guilt and depression that are the actual sources for drug and alcohol addiction.
