Drug Treatment Success Story – Narconon Arrowhead

Coming into this drug rehab program, I had no idea what to expect or what I was going to get out of it. In the beginning I was losing hope thinking how is this going to help me? I stayed, at first, only because my mom wanted me to. As I got further into the program, things started to come together. I noticed a huge change in myself and others. I began to open my eyes and have faith. I started to apply the technology and put my all into it. Completing the last of the books made this whole drug rehab program come together all the way back to day one. I now have something better than I could have ever asked for: knowledge of life, how to handle it and live happily, with the ability of doing anything I wish. C.B.

Prescription Drug Addictions and Addiction

Prescription Drug Addictions
Prescription drug addictions are on the rise, not only as primary substances of abuse but also as secondary substances of abuse. At Narconon Arrowhead statistics show significant numbers of program participants involved in multiple prescription drug abuse along with any other reported drug addiction or alcoholism. This is no small problem when one takes into account the severe debilitating effects occurring on both the mental and physical levels from the abuse of these ‘medications’. Couple this with severe and often deadly side effects from mixing these substances and the clear rise in violence and suicide that can accompany withdrawal and ones sees a whole new level of treatment needed in handling today’s addictions.

Painkiller Addiction and Addiction

Painkiller Addiction
Painkillers, once prescribed, all too often open the door to tenacious addiction and dependency. In the U.S. alone over 15 million people have abused prescription drugs with more than 2 million of these being teenagers. Most teenagers using painkillers to get high assume they are safer than street drugs. Nothing could be further from the truth. Doctors and drug rehab professionals report painkiller addiction as one of the most difficult addictions to treat, the most serious being opiods. These are opium like compounds which interfere with the human nervous system as well as artificially stimulating portions of the brain. Painkiller addiction results in mental as well as physical addiction as well as increasing tolerance where higher and higher doses of the painkiller are craved in an effort to ease the addiction Narconon Arrowhead has one of the highest success rates in handling painkiller addiction to a full and lasting resolution.

 

Drug and Alcohol Rehab Center and Addiction

Drug and Alcohol Rehab Center
Cravings (both mental and physical) for increasing and continuing use of drugs and alcohol. Guilt as a result of all the harm and damage done to self, loved ones, and others. Depression resulting from failed hopes and dreams, and the feelings of being trapped in a vicious cycle with no escape. These are the points that must be handled by a drug and alcohol rehab center if that treatment is to be effective and create change for a lifetime. An effective drug and alcohol rehab center knows there is much more to treatment than merely getting someone to quit using. At Narconon Arrowhead we know there are only three paths available once addiction or alcoholism has set in – jail, death, or sobriety. A drug and alcohol free life is possible without constant worry of relapse.

 

Counseling and Addiction

Counseling
Counseling is a generally misunderstood word. It is often interpreted as some evaluating for another and telling them what to think or do. Someone else’s opinion or evaluation is simply that, and gives no certainty of anything to the recipient. This is a very limited view of the concept and it has very limited workability as well. Counseling ideally should involve getting the individual to confront and communicate with and about the situations in life that they feel they have no control, or reduced control over. Counseling should offer tools and life skills that the individual can use for themselves and observe for themselves whether they work. More importantly, do they work for the individual himself?
