A Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Program Success Story

Wow! I can’t believe I did it! The day I walked into withdrawal area of the Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab facility, I barely had what it would take to not end my life. I was below zero. I have come so far and grown so much as the honest individual I am. I ran a perfect program as far as drug rehab goes, and gave it everything I had. I’ve used the technology I learned and applied it to my life since I’ve been here at Narconon Arrowhead's drug and alcohol treatment center. I’m walking proof this technology works. Now, I see mistakes I made in the past. I am in complete control over my life now and I feel I’m armed with a weapons system. It’s the technology they teach at this drug rehab that is amazing. I know who I am and I love myself. I have so much to offer this world and I will absolutely contribute now. I have control and I make my life happen. I got everything out of this drug rehab program that I wanted and needed. A.T.

Residential Rehab

Residential Rehab
A residential rehab facility is one where the individual lives and resides at the facility for the duration of his or her addiction treatment. Residential rehab in all but a few cases is probably the best choice when it comes to addiction treatment. It removes the individual from the environment where all the use and abuse was occurring and allows the addict to confront the issues of addiction in a drug free and safe environment. Interacting with and aiding fellow addicts who strongly desire sobriety is in no small way a major benefit as well. An addict’s ability to begin to reach out to another human being and give as well as receive help and assistance can be a major turning point in recovery.

Opium Addiction and Addiction

Opium Addiction
Opium addiction has a long history. It was a problem in the 1850’s when morphine was developed as a non-addictive substitute. Morphine was soon a bigger addiction problem than opium. The morphine problem was ‘solved’ with another opium derivative – Heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than either morphine or opium. In the middle and latter parts of the 20th century along come methadone as the cure for heroin. You guessed it, methadone is stronger, more addictive, and more life threatening than any of the opium derivatives that came before it. Ask any methadone addict, or addiction professional dealing with methadone addiction and withdrawal. By the 1990’s the mortality rate from opium derivatives was estimated to be 20 times greater than the general population.

 

Marijuana Addiction and Addiction

Marijuana Addiction
The dangers and harm done by marijuana use has been under debate for decades and show no signs of lessening. Whether marijuana addiction exists or not is even more hotly debated. Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. When addiction exists, the drug controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. Statistics do show increasing numbers of people entering addiction treatment reporting marijuana as their primary drug of abuse. Add to this the much stronger strains of marijuana available and the tendency to mix the drug with other substances such or crack and PCP and the potential for addiction becomes more pronounced. Rather than endlessly debate the issue, one should simply look at the marijuana use of self or a loved one against the above definition.

 

Drug Side Effects and Addiction

Drug Side Effects
Drug side effects is really not an applicable term when one is talking about the effects caused by illegal street drugs. Effects can generally be broken in mental and physical categories. Drugs use up nutritional and vitamin stores very quickly leaving the body open to all sorts of illness and maladies and many physical effects are the result of these deficiencies. Drug induced neurosis and psychosis is the easiest way to explain the hundreds of various mental and emotional side effects from drug use and addiction. With prescription drugs, many of the side effects are quite debilitating and life threatening even when taken as prescribed, let alone at abusive levels.

 

Rehab Centers and Addiction

Rehab Centers
What are rehab centers, and what should rehab centers do? If we understand the word rehabilitate to mean ‘restoring to a previous condition’, then we can get an idea of what a rehab center should do. Does the rehab center treat the whole being or just the substance abuse? Once drug or alcohol use ceases and the person is no longer withdrawing from use the real job of rehabilitation starts. Most addicts and alcoholics have a ton of cravings, guilt and depression to deal with. When it comes to restoring the person to a previous condition these important points must be confronted and relief obtained otherwise one is prone to relapse. These three points have been proven to be key points of address in gaining a drug free productive life without constant relapse. Narconon Arrowhead addresses these three points fully and from several different angles to as full a resolution as possible. For the individual
