Substance Abuse Costs Lives Every Year in Louisiana
Substance abuse is the nation’s number one health-related problem and the effects can be seen in Louisiana. Drug and alcohol addiction is the root cause to many other societal problems and it costs our country up to $500 billion each year, in addition to the thousands of lives lost, broken homes and drug-related crime.
Most addiction treatment centers have a limited success rate, where the majority of the clients relapse. This is not the case with Narconon Arrowhead. In fact, approximately 70% of the graduates of our drug and alcohol rehab remain drug free.

Drug Rehab Information By State
Prescription drug
addiction generally occurs with those medications which suppress pain of a physical or emotional nature.
Painkillers suppress physical pain and many are taken at levels exceeding recommended dosages and tolerance builds up fast,
abuse then continues in an attempt to handle the pain, or just out of fear of future pain.
Medications such as anti-depressants are designed to suppress various forms of mental stress or duress.
Abuse of these is similar to painkillers in that dosages are exceeded and tolerance builds leading to more and more of the drug needed in an attempt to maintain emotional balance.
Prescription drug
addiction in both these cases results from trying to mask the symptoms rather than treating and resolving the underlying causes of the physical or emotional pain.
Drug Rehab Information By City
Many times someone’s personal opinions, or pet theories gets mixed up with actual
addiction facts and this is often confusing to someone trying to understand addiction.
Probably a good starting point is a solid definition of what
addiction is.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and using of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
When addiction exists, the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
Rehab
detox is often considered to be merely withdrawal services.
Withdrawal while vital is not really the full
detoxification needed to insure a full handling for the drugs and toxins still in the body creating sometime uncontrollable cravings. The Narconon Arrowhead New Life
Detoxification Program fully handles the drugs and toxin residuals that lodge in the fatty tissues for months and years.
In moments of stress these drug residuals break loose from the fatty tissues when they can re-enter the blood stream creating intense mental and physical cravings even though the drug has not been used for some time.
This is one of the major reasons for relapse and continued use.
Most of Narconon Arrowhead participants report and end to cravings at the end of the
detoxification portion of the program accompanied by a marked resurgence in their overall sense of well being
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.
