These can be enlightening and informative. The
drug statistics from these studies are generally disheartening and leave one without much hope a good amount of the time.

Drug Rehab Information By State
Opium
addiction has a long history.
It was a problem in the 1850’s when morphine was developed as a non-addictive substitute.
Morphine was soon a bigger
addiction problem than opium.
The morphine problem was ‘solved’ with another opium derivative – Heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than either morphine or opium. In the middle and latter parts of the 20th century along come methadone as the cure for heroin.
You guessed it, methadone is stronger, more addictive, and more life threatening than any of the opium derivatives that came before it. Ask any methadone addict, or addiction professional dealing with
methadone addiction and withdrawal. By the 1990’s the mortality rate from opium derivatives was estimated to be 20 times greater than the general population.
Any effective alcohol
treatment center should be well acquainted with the fact that
alcoholism can only end in one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety.
There really are no other options, extenuating circumstances, or ‘this person is different’, etc. Anyone stating or asserting something different is simply uninformed or being dangerously reasonable with the condition.
Death, jail, or sobriety, the choice is ultimately the alcoholics.
A good alcohol
treatment center will give the
alcoholic the tools to life a happy alcohol free lifestyle when the choice is sobriety.
Relapse all too often in the
rehab community is considered almost inevitable.
This comes from a defeatist mentality after year of failure in addressing the situation.
Relapse CAN be prevented and is not a forgone conclusion. If one fully address and handles cravings, guilt and depression then relapse fades away as a point of concern.
This may sound over-simplified but really isn’t.
Narconon has a 76% success rate and over 40 years experience in handling exactly these factors with a long term, drug free and non-traditional approach to these exact three points. A Narconon Arrowhead we create drug free productive lives for a lifetime.
Many people mistakenly believe the drug problems of our culture center around the use of an
illegal drug or substance.
While these drugs certainly play a major role in drug
abuse and
addiction the problem is definitely not confined to the illegal drug. In fact one of the fastest growing areas of drug
treatment lies in the area of
abuse and
addiction to prescription drugs.
Painkillers, Anti-Depressants, and Anti-Psychotics have all shown epidemic rises in addiction and addiction treatment.
Many of these drugs have black box warnings from the FDA of some of the severe and often life threatening side affects that can occur with their use, let alone use at abusive and addictive levels.
Some of these prescriptions drugs are finding there way into use as treatments for
illegal drug abuse. This has the analogy of jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
