Success Story for Drug Rehab

When I first came to Narconon Arrowhead’s Drug Rehab, I was shooting five grams of heroin and had no hope. I had tried numerous Twelve step programs. My parents and probation officer were running out of hope and so was I. This drug rehab program has more than met my expectations, along with those of my parents and parole officer. Every other drug rehab program I’ve been to wanted to load me up with psych meds and mess me up even more. I have finally felt what it is like to be normal. I’ve been off all medications including over-the-counter ones for months. When I came here to this drug rehab, I thought my life was over. Due to the technology here, I have been educated and and have forgotten what being a drug addict felt like. I feel so strong and I like myself again. It has been an amazing experience. M.S.

Drug Detox

Drug Detox
At Narconon Arrowhead drug detox is a multi-step process. First of course is actual cessation of drug or alcohol use. The is commonly referred to as withdrawal and at Narconon Arrowhead includes full medical supervision as well as nutritional, physical, and mental/emotional assists given to achieve a withdrawal process that is as short, and comfortable as possible. This is followed by the New Life Detoxification Program. This program is a full detoxification designed to remove actual drug and toxin residuals built up and lodged in the body. By actual reports many of our students report a full cessation of drug cravings following the New Life Detoxification Program with physical and mental/emotional health restored to a marked degree putting the student into a position to now learn the tools necessary to maintain a drug free and productive life without constant fear of relapse.

Drug Use and Addiction

Drug Use
Drug use occurs in an effort to relieve some form of pain, it may be physical but is often times emotional or a combination of the two. This could be as simple as using alcohol or pot to avoid peer pressure as a teen, or the use of painkillers after an industrial accident. Either way the drug is found to alleviate the symptoms. The bigger the problem, the greater the discomfort and the more relief is sought. With continued abuse the drugs begin to create mental and physical damage of their own and if continued unchecked the person’s life when sober is filled with despair and misery. At this point all the person wants to do is escape these feelings by drugging or drinking them away. This is the downward spiral of addiction.

 

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.

 

Heroin Drug and Addiction

Heroin Drug
Heroin is a highly addictive illegal drug. During the 1800’s opium addiction was a major problem in the U.S. Morphine was developed as supposedly a non-addictive substitute for opium but proved to be even more addictive. The same is true of Heroin which was a supposedly non addictive replacement for morphine, but again is actually more addictive than opium or morphine. In more modern times we know have methadone as a supposed ‘solution’ to heroin addiction. Methadone is even more addictive than heroin. If withdrawal from heroin can be gruesome and harrowing, then methadone is even worse and can be life- threatening if unsupervised.

 

Drug Rehabilitation and Addiction

Drug Rehabilitation
A truly effective drug rehabilitation experience involves several factors. First of all of course is the cessation of current drug and alcohol use with a withdrawal process that is as painless as possible both mentally and physically. Second is a truly effective detoxification program which removes stored drugs, toxins, and poisons from the body. The New Life Detoxification Program available at Narconon Arrowhead is state of the art detoxification for Drug Rehabilitation. Third is handling the Cravings (mental and physical), guilt and depression that go hand and hand with addiction. Fourth is the acquiring of life skills needed to live a truly drug free, happy and prosperous life without constant fear of relapse. There are certainly other points of address, but these are the main categories to effective recovery in any drug rehabilitation program. Narconon Arrowhead not only gets the individual clean, but more importantly assists them in acquiring the desire, mental outlook, and actual ability to live drug free for a lifetime!
