A Drug Rehab Program Success Story

I’ve just completed the Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Program. When I first got here to the drug rehab, I didn’t think I’d ever say those words. I’m so happy and feel such a great sense of achievement. I’ve worked so hard and come a long way. There have been so many amazing changes in me that everyone I know would hardly recognize me. I won’t say it’s been easy, but it has definitely been worth it. This is finally a time in my life I don’t regret. I would say that I’d do it all again, but I know I won’t have to. A.B.

Alcoholism

Alcoholism
Alcoholism is an addiction to alcohol. Addiction is defined as a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. In severe alcoholism cessation of use can cause delirium tremens and be life threatening. Medical withdrawal is vital in these situations and needs to be evaluated by competent and informed medical professionals. Following a full withdrawal from alcohol use the alcoholic’s health and nutrition levels need to be monitored and a program to return them to a health nutritional balance is needed. Follow up with a full addiction program to address the cravings, guilt, and depression are vital to creating an alcohol free productive life for the individual.

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.

 

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.

 

Addiction Counseling and Addiction

Addiction Counseling
Addiction counseling done correctly will assist the addict with making the personal life choices that result in a drug free lifestyle. Unfortunately much of what passes for counseling amounts to invalidation and evaluation of the individual, both of which have minimal workability in effecting lasting change. At Narconon Arrowhead addiction counseling takes a different road. We use an educational approach where the individual is given the theory and the application of workable tool for maintaining a drug free lifestyle. The individual then puts these into action for him and observes their workability to the unique situations in their lives. In this way the addict gains tools and methods that are uniquely his and that he will continue to use as he has already seen the positive results from them – not merely someone telling him what to do or think.

 

Painkiller Addictions and Addiction

Painkiller Addictions
Painkiller addictions are among some of the most tenacious and difficult addictions to beat despite the widespread erroneous belief than these are safer to use than street drugs such as heroin. These painkiller addictions often result from the use of opiods. These are opium type compounds such as Codeine, Hydrocodone, and Oxycodone. Painkiller addictions result from interference with the nervous system couple with stimulation of pleasure receptors in the brain. This accounts for the almost epidemic abuse of these drugs to get ‘high’. As tolerance increases more and more of the drug is needed to stave off withdrawal and maintain the high. Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab regimens fully address the endless cycle of painkiller addiction to a full resolution and the ability to live a drug free and productive life!
