Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab Services

I have completed the Narconon Drug Rehab Program and I feel great! My life has been changed forever. I now have the tools and education to become a better person and I can keep on improving my production in life. Coming here to this drug rehab and going through this program has opened up many opportunities for me to not only help myself, but now I have the opportunity to become proactive in the war on drugs and help others. I feel as if I have to share the wonderful experience of being here at drug rehab with others who may need to be here as well. I will go home and help educate communities about drugs. I am very grateful for the Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab program and all that it gave me. G.R.

Drug – ‘Meth’ and Addiction

Drug – ‘Meth’
‘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.

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
Heroin addiction, as with any of the opium derivatives, creates a severe physical/mental dependency. With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more and more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. With heroin addiction the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in heroin addiction may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘cold turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Narconon Arrowheads unique approach to withdrawal keeps these symptoms to a minimum and by actual report sometimes totally removes these symptoms.

Rehab Clinic and Addiction

Rehab Clinic
In the field of addiction treatment a rehab clinic is generally meant to indicate a short term outpatient treatment facility. These can all too often be facilities where an individual receives replacement or supplemental drugs in an attempt to handle their drug or drugs of addiction. A good example is a methadone clinic. Methadone is more harmful and more addictive than heroin which it is meant to replace. One addiction is being substituted for another. This is not to say all rehab clinics operate this way or are detrimental. Some offer valid short term options until full rehabilitation services can be secured. This point of drug substitution is mentioned as a point to watch out for when considering a rehab clinic.
