Addiction Treatments
When we say
addiction treatments it implies more than one, and so it is.
If we define
treatment per the Encarta dictionary as ‘the particular way somebody or something is dealt with or handled’, we can see that there are usually various ways to achieve this.
When it comes to the many
addiction treatments available one can be overwhelmed with all the options.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term and non-traditional approach to solving addiction.
What this means is that Narconon methodologies do not use the disease approach to addiction where one is considered ‘sick’ or ‘ill’ for a lifetime. Narconon is an empowering approach where we assist the individual to fully confront and handle the mental and physical cravings, guilt and depression that are the actual sources for drug and alcohol addiction.
Drug Rehab Information By State
At Narconon Arrowhead drug
treatment does not include further drugs or medications in an attempt to handle already existing drug
abuse and
addiction problems. Narconon Arrowhead is a drug free, long-term, non-traditional, residential
treatment facility.
Narconon Arrowhead believes in fully handling the factors of cravings, quilt, and depression.
These three factors have been proven over and over again to be the main stumbling blocks in not only ceasing drug
addiction but also in achieving a drug free lifetime that lasts for a lifetime.
Substituting one substance for another is not a workable answer or a substitute for actually confronting and handling the underlying mental, emotional, and physical reasons that led up to and then continued the addiction.
Drug
rehab facilities are not all created equal and many different types exist.
There are in-patient and out-patient facilities, long term and short term, drug therapy and drug free, traditional and non traditional, just to name a few of the differences.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term in that rather than having a set time span, we operate off of results and this varies by individual.
Average time is 90-120 days.
We are also drug free in that we firmly believe that treating drug
addiction with other ‘maintenance’ type drugs is counter productive to producing a truly drug free productive life. We are also non-traditional and do not treat
addiction as a disease one has for life. Our 76% success rate speaks for itself.
Substance
abuse generally starts with an attempt to handle pain.
This could me mental or physical pain and does not necessarily need to be great.
A teenager uses drugs for the first time and finds they helped with shyness and so uses them more and more often, as a false solution to the pains of adolescence.
A mother finds relief from family stress with anti-depressants and so continues their use and even increases the dosages.
Physical pain is relieved with prescription painkillers and so they are continued more and more frequently. All of these substances have their own particular side-effects which create new situations and new sources of mental and physical pain, and so other substances are now used in an attempt to handle these new pains. Thus most of those entering substance
abuse treatment find themselves having problems with not just one substance but multiple substances. Narconon Arrowhead aids the individual in confronting and resolving the use of these substances as well as dealing with the underlying mental and physical pains which resulted in the original and now continued abuse.
Drug
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences.
It is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence on the abused substance and the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the addictive substance is rapidly decreased or terminated.
When
addiction exists, the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. Drug
addiction is not a disease as many suppose and can be terminatedly handled.
