Addiction Intervention and Addiction

Addiction Intervention
Addiction intervention refers to an action undertaken in order to change what is happening or might happen concerning another’s addiction, especially in order to prevent something undesirable. Many addicts are so oblivious to the effects they are creating on themselves, their health, their loved ones and co-workers that it takes serious intervention in order to get through to them the need that they get help NOW. In most cases it is not that they don’t care, though it may appear this way, but they are simply not aware of what is happening to them and around them. At Narconon Arrowhead we have intake counselors who can guide you on the type of intervention needed at any given point in the process of getting a loved one into rehab. We have been there and know what it takes and the best way to go about it

Detox and Addiction

Detox
Many people have a misunderstanding when it comes to detox. Quite often it is confused with withdrawal. Withdrawal is the process of ceasing the current drug or alcohol use with enough of the effects handled so as to give the individual a fighting chance at continued sobriety. Detox on the other hand should involve removing the quantities of drugs and toxins that store in the fat tissues of the body, sometimes for years. The Narconon Arrowhead New Life Detoxification Program is done following withdrawal and results in a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being for the individual. Many, if not most, of our detoxification program completions report an end to their drug or alcohol cravings at this point.

 

Drug Facts and Addiction

Drug Facts
There are various web pages to be found on our website covering drug facts. Each drug has its own effects and side effects. Each can present unique issues to be addressed in the process of rehabilitation. There are however 3 common denominators among drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. First are cravings and the often uncontrollable urge to use again. Second is the feeling of guilt resulting from the addictive lifestyle and the untold harm created for self, family, friends, and society in general. Third is the depression that inevitably results from destroyed lives, hopes and dreams. These three points will occur with any addiction no matter the drug or alcohol. To create a drug free life that last a lifetime these three points must be fully addressed and relieved for any lasting sobriety.

 

Prescription Drug Addiction and Addiction

Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription drug addiction generally occurs with those medications which suppress pain of a physical or emotional nature. Painkillers suppress physical pain and many are taken at levels exceeding recommended dosages and tolerance builds up fast, abuse then continues in an attempt to handle the pain, or just out of fear of future pain. Medications such as anti-depressants are designed to suppress various forms of mental stress or duress. Abuse of these is similar to painkillers in that dosages are exceeded and tolerance builds leading to more and more of the drug needed in an attempt to maintain emotional balance. Prescription drug addiction in both these cases results from trying to mask the symptoms rather than treating and resolving the underlying causes of the physical or emotional pain.
