Treatment
When dealing with
addiction treatment it is important to understand exactly what is meant by ‘treatment’.
The Encarta dictionary defines
treatment as; ‘Way of handling somebody or something – the particular way somebody or something is dealt with or handled’.
When it comes to
addiction treatment there are many different modalities or methodologies surrounding various forms of treatment.
This can all be very confusing to loved ones under stress looking for effective solutions to addiction.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term and non-traditional form of addressing the problem. We deal with not only handling the cravings that come with addiction but also address the life skills needed to confront and handle the guilt and depression that so often accompanies addiction. The goal is a drug free and productive life free from the many traps that addiction presents, and not just cessation of
drug use alone.
Drug Rehab Information By State
‘Meth’ is short for methamphetamine which is a whit crystalline drug that can be taken by snorting, injecting, smoking, and at times orally.
It is extremely addictive and can create uncontrollable cravings even after only one use.
Despite the raiding and closing of the majority of clandestine meth labs in this country, there are a few that survive and the void has definitely been filled by foreign drug cartels operating in the U.S. making meth readily available and easily affordable.
For this reason meth
addiction continues to climb at epidemic levels and has spread to all corners of the country. One is literally taking their lives in the hands right from the very first use.
Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant that directly affects the brain. Cocaine has been labeled the drug of the 1980s and '90s, because of its extensive popularity and use during this period. However, cocaine is not a new drug. In fact, it is one of the oldest known drugs. The pure chemical, cocaine hydrochloride, has been an abused substance for more than 100 years, and coca leaves, the source of cocaine, have been ingested for thousands of years. There are basically two chemical forms of cocaine: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The hydrochloride salt, or powdered form of cocaine, dissolves in water and, when abused, can be taken intravenously (by vein) or intranasal (in the nose). Freebase refers to a compound that has not been neutralized by an acid to make the hydrochloride salt. The freebase form of cocaine is smokable.
In researching for an effective
rehab facility for yourself or a loved one there are several factors that should be taken into consideration.
Long-term facilities are statistically shown to produce more lasting results.
There are a myriad of issues to handle in most
addiction cases and is not achieved overnight.
A drug free facility is another vital factor.
Some initial medication may be called for in the withdrawal process as withdraw from many substances can be life threatening if the individual is not weaned of the drug or alcohol properly. Another important factor is a full and complete handling of the cravings, and feelings of guilt and depression resulting from addiction. Failure to fully handle these three factors is the number one reasons behind relapse or continued use following treatment.
At Narconon Arrowhead we apply the word recovery in its fullest sense.
We do not operate under the false assumption of once an addict, always an addict.
Recovery means to return to a normal state or an improved state following a setback or loss; it also means gaining back something lost.
Narconon Arrowhead specializes in
addiction recovery which leads to a drug free productive life for a lifetime.
Getting the drugs fully out of the body (not just withdrawal), handling the factors of cravings, guilt, and depression so often accompanying and adding to addiction, and the gaining of skills and abilities are all factors leading to full
addiction recovery. There is a definite difference between a program that stops drug use, but leaves the underlying reasons untouched, and a program that leads to recovery in the fullest sense of the definitions above.
