A Success Story from a Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facility

I came to Narconon Arrowhead's drug and alcohol treatment center with an alcohol problem. I have completed this drug and alcohol program with a chance and choice to have an alcohol-free life. I did not know before I came here how much I would benefit from a drug rehab program like this. It has been life-changing for me. The books and sauna have given me the tools and knowledge to better every aspect of my life. The technology can do this for everyone. I am happy to have and carry with me everything and more. I can now have the best drug and alcohol-free life ever! K.D.

Rehab Treatment

Rehab Treatment
Loved ones often wonder what exactly rehab treatment is. At Narconon Arrowhead the basics of treatment at least can be fairly well understood. There is a drug free withdrawal process where use of all drugs and alcohol finally comes to an end. This is followed by a full detoxification process which actually removes drugs and toxins that have been stored in the fat tissues of the body, often times for years. This results in a marked overall sense of well being for the individual with many reporting drug or alcohol cravings ending during this time. Our rehab treatment also includes a full and comprehensive handling of any further emotional cravings as well as addressing guilt and depression which left unhandled are the major reasons for relapse or continued drug use.

Marijuana Addiction and Addiction

Marijuana Addiction
Many people and even professionals hold the opinion that marijuana is not addictive. This is simply a misunderstanding and not true. Marijuana addiction, especially on a mental or emotional level has been on the increase in terms of numbers and severity for some time. The potency of marijuana such as Canadian ‘BC Bud’ and hydroponically engineered pot is many times that of the marijuana of past days. Inability of users to control their use of this substance and Narconon Arrowhead statistics show a steady increase in the number of program participants with marijuana as their main drug of abuse and addiction.

 

Drug Rehab Help and Addiction

Drug Rehab Help
In terms of drug rehab help, help itself is one of the issues addressed. Addicts often feel betrayed on the subject of help. They feel they have failed to help themselves. Help offered by their dealers and fellow drug friends have had the opposite effect and simply led toward further destruction of their lives and health. Family, friends, and sometimes professionals have all had their attempts at helping the individual. The addict by the time he or she reaches drug rehab often feels help is no longer possible. At Narconon Arrowhead one of the first things to be rehabilitated is the individual’s ability to reach for and accept help. True help exists in the individual gaining the skills and abilities necessary to help themselves, and then in helping their families and loved ones. Help is a two way street of giving and receiving.

 

Medical Drugs and Addiction

Medical Drugs
Medical drugs are generally prescribed as short term solutions in the handling of pain. Many of these medical drugs will build up tolerance in the system requiring increased amounts for the same effect. Thus dependence sets in and one begins taking these at abusive and addictive levels before long. This accounts for drugs like OxyContin being more and more used in illegal black markets to handle addiction to them. Black market illegal use of drugs such as these is outstripping legitimate use and prescription. Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are much the same story with many school age children selling their prescriptions in the school yard. Add the horrific side effects, some of which are life threatening, and what we see is an epidemic rise in the abuse and addiction to prescription medications.

 

Causes of Relapse and Addiction

Causes of Relapse
There are definite specific causes of relapse and once these causes are handled relapse tends to just fade away as a condition or a worry. The first cause of relapse is cravings (mental and physical) that keep the individual seeking drugs or alcohol. Most withdrawal programs deal only with drug use cessation. While this is an important and vital action in any recovery it is far from being a full detoxification of the body. Drugs and toxins lodge in the fatty tissues of the body for month and years after use has ceased. In moments of physical or emotional stress these toxins can be released into the system again creating strong emotional and physical urges to use again. The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program fully flushes these drugs and toxins from the body accompanied by a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being. Most of our program participants report and end to drug cravings at this point.
