LSD and Addiction

LSD
LSD is one of the most potent, mood-changing chemicals available. LSD effects are extremely unpredictable. It could be a racing distorted high all the way to severe paranoid and suicidal low. LSD can create severe neurosis and psychosis which can sometimes become permanent. In the 1950’s the western intelligence community was experimenting with LSD as a possible chemical weapon with researchers noting that ‘LSD is capable of rendering whole groups of people, including military forces, indifferent to their surroundings and situations, interfering with planning and judgment and even creating apprehension, uncontrollable confusion and terror’. Experiments continued along these lines until LSD was banned in 1967.

Drug Facts and Addiction

Drug Facts
There are common denominators between drugs though each may have its own effects and side effects. All drugs are essentially poisons with the amount taken determining the effect. A small amount of any drug will act as a stimulant (increases activity). A larger amount of any drug will act as a sedative (suppressing activity). A still larger amount poisons and can kill. This is true of any drug and only the amount needed differs. Drugs act to block of sensations, unfortunately this includes desirable sensations as well as unwanted sensations. Though sometimes of short term value in handling pain, they also wipe out ability, alertness, and greatly confuse thinking processes. At an addictive level drugs serve as major sources of numbing mental and physical sensation, while at the same time increasing unwanted attitudes, emotions, sensations, and pains, when attempts are made to cease use.

 

Drug Treatment and Addiction

Drug Treatment
At Narconon Arrowhead drug treatment does not include further drugs or medications in an attempt to handle already existing drug abuse and addiction problems. Narconon Arrowhead is a drug free, long-term, non-traditional, residential treatment facility. Narconon Arrowhead believes in fully handling the factors of cravings, quilt, and depression. These three factors have been proven over and over again to be the main stumbling blocks in not only ceasing drug addiction but also in achieving a drug free lifetime that lasts for a lifetime. Substituting one substance for another is not a workable answer or a substitute for actually confronting and handling the underlying mental, emotional, and physical reasons that led up to and then continued the addiction.

 

Rehab Centers and Addiction

Rehab Centers
The first challenge of rehab centers in addiction treatment is to help the individual with their drug and alcohol cravings. Cravings are strong, uncontrollable, urges that drive the addict to use over and over. Some withdrawal symptoms and cravings are caused by poor nutrition and depletion of vitamin stores in the body that the drugs are sucking out of the body. Depletion of nutrition and vitamins can cause the person to be tired and moody and can also cause shakiness and pain. The drugs accumulating in the body stress the various systems in the body including nerve systems. At this point more drugs are used in an attempt to alleviate feelings and emotions that the drugs themselves are creating. This is why treating drug addiction with more drugs only makes the problem worse and is now being rejected as a workable therapy by many rehab centers.
