Drug Addiction Treatment Center – Success Story

I am happy about completing the Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab program. In general, I am a happy person all around and I have goals now. Whenever I went to other drug treatment programs, all I wanted to do was to get out and use drugs again. This time all I want to do is to be a good mother and to help others like I have been helped.

Chemical Dependency and Addiction

Chemical Dependency
Per the Encarta dictionary chemical dependency is addiction to a chemical substance or drug. Dependency can be further defined as the mental or physical need to use a drug or other substance regularly, despite the fact that they are likely to have a damaging effect. Chemical dependency knows no educational, class, race, or social bounds. Most chemical dependency starts out as an attempt to handle some sort of physical or emotional problem. Some do offer small relief in the short term. The problem enters as more and more use occurs. The very problems originally trying to be solved are now being perpetuated and amplified by the drug use. The individual can not confront perceived pain (emotional or physical) that he feels will come from not using.

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in regular abusers may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘old turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal is considered much less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal.

 

Drug Overdose and Addiction

Drug Overdose
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.

 

Drug Side Effects and Addiction

Drug Side Effects
In many cases addiction could be considered a side effect of drug use at abusive levels. No one intends to become an addict. Addiction begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain for a person. This person is, like most people in our society, basically good. But he encounters a problem that is causing him physical or emotional pain and discomfort and for which he does not have an immediate answer. Perhaps, as a child or teenager, he has difficulty “fitting in.” Or maybe there are physical injuries such as a broken bone, a bad back or some other chronic physical condition, or the person has suffered intolerable losses in life.
