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.

Crack Cocaine Addiction and Addiction

Crack Cocaine Addiction
The chemical cocaine hydrochloride is commonly known as cocaine. Some users chemically process cocaine in order to remove the hydrochloride. This process is called ‘freebasing’ and makes the drug more potent. ‘Crack’ is a solid form of freebased cocaine. It is called ‘crack’ because it snaps and cracks when heated and smoked. Traditionally, cocaine was a rich man's drug, due to the large expense of a cocaine habit. Now, crack is being sold at prices low enough that even adolescents can afford to buy it. But, this is misleading, since once a person has a crack cocaine addiction, his ‘habit’ often increases, and so does his expense.

 

Drug Substance Abuse and Addiction

Drug Substance Abuse
Abuse occurs when a drug, alcohol, or other substance is used to the detriment of the users health, family relations, finances, career, etc. The detriments may be slight at the beginning of abuse but generally escalates quite quickly into cravings (mental or physical) for the drug, alcohol, or substance. This is followed in short order by a marked rise in feeling of guilt and depression as the individual starts sacrificing quality of life for self and others in the more and more single-minded pursuit of the drugs and alcohol. Once abuse has set it the whole process of addiction picks up speed as does the damage done to health, families, career, etc. The sooner this dwindling spiral is halted and addressed with effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation the better.

 

Prescription Drug Addictions and Addiction

Prescription Drug Addictions
Prescription drug addictions are on the rise, not only as primary substances of abuse but also as secondary substances of abuse. At Narconon Arrowhead statistics show significant numbers of program participants involved in multiple prescription drug abuse along with any other reported drug addiction or alcoholism. This is no small problem when one takes into account the severe debilitating effects occurring on both the mental and physical levels from the abuse of these ‘medications’. Couple this with severe and often deadly side effects from mixing these substances and the clear rise in violence and suicide that can accompany withdrawal and ones sees a whole new level of treatment needed in handling today’s addictions.

 

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.
