Drug Alcohol Treatment Center – Narconon Arrowhead

When I first got to Narconon Arrowhead, I had no hope. I didn’t see a future for me, nor did I care anymore. I wasn’t serious about anything in my life. I had let so many people down in my life, most of all myself. I really didn’t care if I lived to see another day. I had no feeling. I had no hope. I didn’t know who I was. For the first time in my life I want to live. I have learned what happiness is. The feelings I have about life now are enormous. I want to share my story with everyone. I know what it’s like to lose everything mentally, physically and emotionally and now my life is rich with hope and the ability to know I will survive. If I could share my story with one person and be able to help them, that would be my greatest reward. If I can change, anyone can change. I owe Narconon Arrowhead Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center my life. S.D.

Addiction Drug and Addiction

Addiction Drug
Any drug could be an addiction drug if the individual finds himself unable to control the use of it. An addiction drug causes physical addiction, mental addiction, or both. Drugs are essentially poisons. The amount taken determines the effect. A small amount of a given drug acts as a stimulant, a larger dose will act as a depressant, and enough of any particular drug can kill one dead. An addiction drug becomes addictive when the individual’s attempt to handle mental or physical pain becomes dependant on the use of the drug, and the individual craves the relief that only ‘appears’ to come from the use of the substance. The substances in the long run will be found to escalate the discomfort and create new emotional and physical side effects in many cases, thus not only are dosages increased but one often finds himself using new drugs to try and counteract these new side effects. Once an individual is restored to an ability to feel better (mentally and physically) without the use of the drug, then one no longer requires the drug and rehabilitation can progress to an address of the underlying causes.

Alcoholic and Addiction

Alcoholic
The term ‘Alcoholic’ is simply the name given to someone addicted to alcohol. Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. All the various formulas regarding how many drinks, how often, are meaningless when reviewed against the above definition. The compulsive seeking and use could be by the minute, hour, day, etc. The key is compulsive seeking and use, despite what it does to self, family, or career. It is not that the alcoholic doesn’t care; it is that the use has become compulsive and the cravings, guilt, and depression keep him or her drinking.

 

Drug Intervention and Addiction

Drug Intervention
Drug Intervention is often effective when all else has failed in attempts to help someone suffering from addiction or alcoholism. Many times the addict or alcoholic already feels he has totally failed his loved ones and cannot face them. The guilt and depression is just too much to confront. Even though they may be in the same room listening to loved ones they really aren’t hearing anything. Drug intervention can offer some order and effectiveness to aid the true desire of both the addict and the family to find workable solutions. Yes, despite all appearances to the contrary, the addict or alcoholic is seeking a way out of the trap and does want to stop his use. An effective drug intervention can take that hope and desire, no matter how small, and create a willingness to do something and accept help.

 

Alcohol Relapse and Addiction

Alcohol Relapse
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.
