Success Story - Adult Drug Rehab

When I came to Narconon Arrowhead, I had been fighting a battle with drugs and was getting my butt kicked. I was out of bullets and had no control over my life. I knew that I needed help, but did not honestly think anything could be done, because I was in too deep with an unethical lifestyle of crime and drug use. I was a terrible, dishonest son, an un-loyal, non-supportive father and husband. My mom never gave up on my ability to get help and turn my life around. She got me here to Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Treatment Center. This program starts off great and keeps getting better. I have gained the ability to properly communicate with people. By completing the sauna program, I feel so much better and have regained a clear body and mind. I am aware of my life and I no longer dwell on past problems that kept me held up in life. I have regained the ability to be in full control of my life and make conscious, wise decisions. I know that I can have anything in life I want. I now know about all the areas that make up my life and what I must do to survive. I will soon be back on the battle ground in North Florida, but thanks to the Narconon Arrowhead staff and technology I learned, I have plenty of bullets to fight back with. I am confident in myself and know I am finally ready to return home to my family and remain drug-free forever. R.K.

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence with the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the drug or substance is rapidly decreased or terminated. Heroin Addiction can be accompanied by extreme physical withdrawal. The drug quickly breaks down the immune system leaving the user sickly, gaunt, and ultimately dead without treatment. Heroin and morphine are among the most frequently mentioned drugs in reports of drug-related deaths.

Methadone Addiction and Addiction

Methadone Addiction
As an opiate, regular use of methadone causes physical dependency - if you've been using it regularly (prescribed or not) once you stop you will experience a withdrawal. The physical changes due to the drug are similar to other opiates (like heroin). If you are a woman using methadone you may not have regular periods - but you are still able to conceive. Methadone is a long-acting opioid; it has an effect for up to 36 hours (if you are using methadone you will not withdraw for this period) A Personal story of methadone withdrawal: “I've been on both ends of withdrawals, heroin and methadone, every patient of methadone will always tell you the same, as I do; I can kick heroin anytime, but methadone that is something else. In 15 yrs of heroin addiction, I've kicked 3 times, 'cold-turkey'. In 10 years on methadone I've never kicked methadone.”

 

Opium Addiction and Addiction

Opium Addiction
Opium addiction has a long history. It was a problem in the 1850’s when morphine was developed as a non-addictive substitute. Morphine was soon a bigger addiction problem than opium. The morphine problem was ‘solved’ with another opium derivative – Heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than either morphine or opium. In the middle and latter parts of the 20th century along come methadone as the cure for heroin. You guessed it, methadone is stronger, more addictive, and more life threatening than any of the opium derivatives that came before it. Ask any methadone addict, or addiction professional dealing with methadone addiction and withdrawal. By the 1990’s the mortality rate from opium derivatives was estimated to be 20 times greater than the general population.

 

Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation and Addiction

Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation
The need for truly effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation is becoming ever more vital to American society. One should not come out of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program and still be ‘white-knuckling’ it or constantly worrying about relapse. Families should be able to have faith and trust in the loved ones again on their return home. Narconon Arrowhead drug and alcohol rehabilitation deals in results, and by results we mean a drug free, happy and productive life, not just a little clean time. There are very definite factors (the main ones being continued cravings, guilt, and depression) which lead almost inevitably back to drug use. Narconon handles these with a long term, drug free, non-traditional approach that has a proven track record for over 40 years.
