Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Prescription Drug Rehab Center
Every graduation, on Friday, I reflect on my previous week. It is my way of inventorying my progress in this drug rehab program, as well as how I feel physically, mentally and emotionally. I have been doing this since I was in the withdrawal phase of the program. The changes in me are remarkable. I have not really changed as much as I have become myself again. My drug use has been running my life for the past five years. I have been missing in action since I was 33 years old. I missed myself, only existing in a body. My mind and spirit were almost dead. When others looked in my eyes, they said I did look dead. This drug rehab program has found in me more than I can express! J.T.
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.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Alcohol
rehabilitation of course involves the cessation of all alcohol use.
Alcoholic generally have all sorts of reasons and rationale for drinking.
Many, many try to control their drinking and only end up putting off the inevitable.
Alcoholism can only end in one of three ways – death, jail, or sobriety.
There really are no other options.
Many times alcoholics will be involved in other substance abuse, often unknown or unsuspected by family or loved ones. Whether it is alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both, the three factors needing fully and competently addressed are the cravings, guilt, and depression that are hand and hand with any addiction.
Many people and even professionals hold the opinion that marijuana is not addictive.
This is simply a misunderstanding and not true.
Marijuana addiction, especially on a mental or emotional level has been on the increase in terms of numbers and severity for some time.
The potency of marijuana such as Canadian ‘BC Bud’ and hydroponically engineered pot is many times that of the marijuana of past days. Inability of users to control their use of this substance and Narconon Arrowhead statistics show a steady increase in the number of program participants with marijuana as their main drug of
abuse and addiction.
For those needing extended care for an out of control
addiction problem an inpatient
rehab is the only real option for a number of reasons.
Most addicts will find it next to impossible to refrain from
drug use when remaining in their usual environments.
The temptations and ready availability of the substances serve to make this attempt a losing proposition. An inpatient rehab, especially a long term one, serves as a safe a secure environment where one is able to confront the cravings, guilt and depression of
addiction in a caring and compassionate atmosphere of mutual understanding and assistance.
How does one go about determining when
drug use crosses the line into drug
abuse and addiction?
Drugs are used as a solution to pain, be it mental, emotional, or physical.
Fore instance one takes a painkiller and physical pain subsides or one take a street drug and the emotional pain of feeling like an outsider goes away.
There are many motivations but they all come under the heading of handling pain in one way or another.
Drug
abuse sets in when the drug is being used more and more to mask and cover up the pain rather than addressing the actual causes of the pain itself. From abuse one quickly moves on to
addiction where tolerance to the drugs builds up to the point where the individual can’t conceive of life without them for fear of unbearable pain of one type or another. Ones life then becomes centered on acquiring and using more and more drugs at any cost or sacrifice. Along with this comes all the cravings, guilt and depression that results from harm done to self, family, loved ones, careers, etc.
