Drug Treatment Center Success Story – Narconon Arrowhead

I was a crackhead for 2 ½ years before I came to Narconon Arrowhead’s Drug Treatment Center. I’m 42, had a successful, good life, traveled and loved myself. Crack was my demise! I lost me, my business and almost my life. I’ve been here at drug rehab for three months and I can honestly say I’m back and proud of who I am and what I’ve become! With the tools that this drug rehab has given me, I’m confident. I know how to confront and I will never have any drug in my body. I’ve had more laughter and goodness in my life and I realize that I love who I am without drugs. C.K.

Alcoholism Treatment and Addiction

Alcoholism Treatment
At Narconon Arrowhead alcoholism treatment takes a multi-faceted approach. First there is the necessity to cease current use of alcohol. This can sometimes require medical supervision do to the sometimes life-threatening effect of ceasing use. Then it is necessary to get all of the alcohol toxins out of the body as fully as possible. These lodge in the fat tissues in the body and can create cravings days, months, or even years after last use. The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program achieves this. By far the biggest barriers to continued sobriety are the unhandled cravings, guilt, and depression created by the alcoholic lifestyle and troubles created for self, family, loved ones, and careers. Narconon Arrowhead uses a full array of life skills training to confront and put these three vital factors to rest.

Effects of Addiction and Addiction

Effects of Addiction
As any loved one of an addict can tell you, the effects of addiction go far and beyond just the effects created on the addict himself. The amount of stress and distress created in the wake of active addiction can and do effect the emotional and physical well being of loved ones and associates or the addict. Financial ruin, destroyed marriages, emotional upsets to children, distrust, and repulsion are just a few that can be named. The sad part of it is the fact that the addict himself is often unaware of creating these situations until they have reached a breaking point. As drug and alcohol addiction reduce awareness of the environment and often distort it, it is a sad commentary that the addict when he becomes aware of these harms actually feel great guilt and depression, which often leads to more and more drugs in an attempt to numb him or herself.

 

Substance Abuse Rehab and Addiction

Substance Abuse Rehab
A substance abuse rehab should probably be more correctly labeled a Substance(s) abuse rehab. The individual has what is called his drug of choice or primary addiction. Rarely in this day and age does someone come for addiction treatment without having several substances needing to be addressed. Alcohol abuse is quite commonly mixed with other drugs of abuse such as heroin, cocaine, or meth, to mention only a few. Prescription drug abuse is beginning to take on epidemic proportions in the country and throughout the world. Painkillers, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotics are showing up more and more as drugs abused along with street drugs, but are also showing a major increase as being the drug of choice or primary addiction. These substances can build up tolerance in the system quickly and many have life threatening side effects. Multiple drug abuse rehabilitation has become the order of the day.

 

Addiction Recovery and Addiction

Addiction Recovery
At Narconon Arrowhead we apply the word recovery in its fullest sense. We do not operate under the false assumption of once an addict, always an addict. Recovery means to return to a normal state or an improved state following a setback or loss; it also means gaining back something lost. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in addiction recovery which leads to a drug free productive life for a lifetime. Getting the drugs fully out of the body (not just withdrawal), handling the factors of cravings, guilt, and depression so often accompanying and adding to addiction, and the gaining of skills and abilities are all factors leading to full addiction recovery. There is a definite difference between a program that stops drug use, but leaves the underlying reasons untouched, and a program that leads to recovery in the fullest sense of the definitions above.
