Abuse Drugs

At Narconon Arrowhead we realize that in a majority of cases we are dealing with individuals who not only have a drug or alcohol problem but who abuse drugs in the plural sense, meaning more than one drug of abuse. One of course will have a primary drug of abuse, but in this society at this time the ready availability of various legal and illegal substances make abuse of multiple drugs the reality for most. Each drug or substance has its own effects on the individual both mentally and physically. Effective drug rehab methodologies will confront and deal with this reality. Narconon drug rehab methodologies have embraced this reality for over 40 years with the highest long term success rates in the field.

Addiction has many faces. The alcoholic who can’t refuse that first drink; the teenager who finds himself craving methamphetamine to keep going after trying in on a dare; the single mom finding herself using more and more anti-depressants to deal with getting through the day; or the workman now using way to many painkillers to get through the physical stress of the workday. Most addiction involves more than one substance as addicts seek solutions to the original drugs adverse affects by mistakenly using other substances in an attempt to escape the harsh realities of addiction or an attempt to simply get back to normal. Each addiction can have its own symptoms and side effects. Cravings, quilt, and depression however are almost universally common denominators to addiction, any lasting recovery from addiction must confront and relieve or resolve these three key factors.

If one understands ‘rehabilitation’ as the process of restoring something to a previous state or an improved state, then one will have an idea of what a rehabilitation center should do or accomplish. Rehabilitation is so much more than simply getting someone to stop using drugs or alcohol. Full detoxification of the body to remove drugs and toxins that have been accumulating in the fat tissues for years is a vital factor. Many of the people who have completed the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program report feeling years younger, as well as often reporting a complete cessation of their physical drug cravings. There are of course lots of other actions to facilitate and bring about rehabilitation on a mental and emotional level. When looking for a rehabilitation center, look for a center with complete and comprehensive services and a proven track record of creating drug free and productive lives.

Drug and alcohol treatment need not only occur when addiction or alcoholism has set in. Competent drug and alcohol treatment centers realize that treatment of drug abuse can be just as effective, if not more so, than treatment of addiction. One need not have lost everything in order to seek help with a drug or alcohol problem. Drug and alcohol abuse inevitably lead to addiction and alcoholism if allowed to continue unchecked. Once drug addiction or alcoholism is reached there are only three possible endings to the story – jail, death, or sobriety. Narconon Arrowhead drug and alcohol treatment can reverse this dwindling spiral of pain and suffering for self and loved ones and again allow individuals and families to live in the sunshine of a drug free happy productive life!
