Drug Patient
At Narconon Arrowhead we do no refer to our participants as ‘patients’ but rather they are considered ‘students’. Using the word ‘patient’ tends to give an erroneous impression of illness and disease, which is not the main thrust of our program.
Certainly issues of health and nutrition need to corrected, especially in the withdrawal and
detoxification phases of the program. The term student is used as we are educating the individual into the use of the tools and abilities needed to sustain a continuous drug free productive life and to confront and resolve the three main factors behind relapse and continued use.
Addiction is not a disease of a lifetime.
It can and is being ended on a daily basis here a Narconon Arrowhead.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Addiction withdrawal is the term applied to the process of terminating or ceasing the use of the drug or alcohol causing the addiction.
Withdrawal symptoms are those physical, mental, and emotional discomforts occurring as a result of this process.
Some procedures attempt to ease withdrawal with the use of additional drugs or chemicals. This can and does complicate the process as now there are new substances that are creating dependencies along with the intense cravings for the original drug of addiction. In most cases withdrawal can be accomplished with adequate medical monitoring and proper nutrition.
Drugs severely deplete vitamin and nutritional stores in the body and when properly addressed will reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms without the dangers of using additional drugs.
Rehabilitation Centers are facilities where the problems of
addiction and
alcoholism are addressed.
Rehabilitation is defined as returning to a previous state or condition or an improved state or condition.
With this in mind truly effective and successful
rehabilitation centers will address much more that mere cessation of drug or alcohol use, though this is a vital and important starting point.
The issues of cravings, guilt, and depression that led up to the
addiction and then continued it should be fully confronted and resolved, as well as full
detoxification of the body following use cessation.
Narconon Arrowhead
rehabilitation center fully addresses all these point and many more to ensure the best chances possible for a lifetime of drug free productiveness.
When you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate a
drug overdose can occur.
Most drugs create a tolerance with increasing amounts needed to create the same effects. Drug abusers and addicts are constantly faced with the risk of a drug overdose. There can be a fine line between getting the high they're seeking and overdose leading to serious injury or death. Mixing drugs such as heroin, pills and alcohol is the most common cause of death by overdose.
More and more participants in drug
rehabilitation are reporting multiple drugs being
abuse simultaneously. This vastly increases the medical complications that can result from this dangerous mixing of drug ‘cocktails’.
This is all in
addiction to the sometimes life threatening side effects that can occur from abusing
prescription drugs especially painkillers and anti-depressants.
At Narconon Arrowhead we operate from a firm basis that constant worry about alcohol relapse, picking up again, falling off the wagon, or whatever you choose to call it is not necessary if the drug
rehab treatment fully does what it should.
We do not believe that
alcoholism is an incurable disease that must constantly be worried about.
Relapse comes about from unresolved cravings to use, feelings of guilt over what we have done to self, friends, and loves ones; and the depression over all our losses, setbacks, and ruined opportunities that have occurred throughout our drinking lives.
When these points are fully handled and resolved one is no longer in need of running to alcohol to drown it all away.
When one is winning and happily moving ahead without alcohol then one is able to have an alcohol free and productive lifestyle that lasts.
