A Drug Rehab Facility Success Story

I feel really good about going home and being able to function as a good citizen. I really like my future plans and I am very grateful that it’s part of the drug rehab program here at Narconon Arrowhead. Other drug rehab programs I have done didn’t have anything like this. Once you finished your 30 days or whatever, they just kick you out and hope you make it. I have a plan, a plan to make it and a plan to keep a good relationship with my parents. I feel fantastic!

Symptoms of Addiction and Addiction

Symptoms of Addiction
Each drug or substance can of course have its own symptoms of abuse and addiction; however there are a couple of general points that can be made about addiction. Addiction generally is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by physiological and physical dependence with the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the drug or alcohol is rapidly decreased or terminated. When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. With addiction life more and more revolves around getting and using the drugs. Family, health, career, finances, all take more and more of a back seat as important factors in life as the addiction continues to increasingly absorb the addicts attention and energies.

 

Addiction Side Effects and Addiction

Addiction Side Effects
With most drugs there are short term effect, long term effects and addiction side effects which would actually be long term effects resulting from abusive use of illegal drugs and addiction to prescription drugs that can occur even at what is commonly considered ‘safe’ levels. Anti-depressants are a case in point. Many of these legal medications have serious side effects including increased violent behavior as well as suicidal ideation when taken at prescribed levels, especially in youth. Add in the fact that many of these drugs are taken at abusive non-prescribed levels as well as mixed with other prescription drugs and illegal street drugs. With the current trends in abuse and addiction inpatient medically supervised withdrawal is vital in most cases of addiction treatment.

 

Addiction Treatments and Addiction

Addiction Treatments
When we say addiction treatments it implies more than one, and so it is. If we define treatment per the Encarta dictionary as ‘the particular way somebody or something is dealt with or handled’, we can see that there are usually various ways to achieve this. When it comes to the many addiction treatments available one can be overwhelmed with all the options. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term and non-traditional approach to solving addiction. What this means is that Narconon methodologies do not use the disease approach to addiction where one is considered ‘sick’ or ‘ill’ for a lifetime. Narconon is an empowering approach where we assist the individual to fully confront and handle the mental and physical cravings, guilt and depression that are the actual sources for drug and alcohol addiction.
