Chemical Dependency and Addiction

Chemical Dependency
Per the Encarta dictionary chemical dependency is addiction to a chemical substance or drug. Dependency can be further defined as the mental or physical need to use a drug or other substance regularly, despite the fact that they are likely to have a damaging effect. Chemical dependency knows no educational, class, race, or social bounds. Most chemical dependency starts out as an attempt to handle some sort of physical or emotional problem. Some do offer small relief in the short term. The problem enters as more and more use occurs. The very problems originally trying to be solved are now being perpetuated and amplified by the drug use. The individual can not confront perceived pain (emotional or physical) that he feels will come from not using.

Causes of Relapse and Addiction

Causes of Relapse
There are definite specific causes of relapse and once these causes are handled relapse tends to just fade away as a condition or a worry. The first cause of relapse is cravings (mental and physical) that keep the individual seeking drugs or alcohol. Most withdrawal programs deal only with drug use cessation. While this is an important and vital action in any recovery it is far from being a full detoxification of the body. Drugs and toxins lodge in the fatty tissues of the body for month and years after use has ceased. In moments of physical or emotional stress these toxins can be released into the system again creating strong emotional and physical urges to use again. The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program fully flushes these drugs and toxins from the body accompanied by a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being. Most of our program participants report and end to drug cravings at this point.

 

Cure Addictions and Addiction

Cure Addictions
Yes, it is possible to cure addictions. The idea that addiction is an incurable disease is simply not true. The incurable disease concept comes from a defeatist mentality stemming from years of failure at actually handling addiction for a lifetime. There are three factors which must be handled in order to cure addiction – cravings, guilt, and depression. These three points left unaddressed and unhandled are the points causing continued use and relapse. Narconon Arrowhead has a multi-phase program which fully addresses these three points and gives the individual the skills and abilities necessary to resolve these three points for themselves.

 

Drug Patient and Addiction

Drug Patient
At Narconon Arrowhead we do no refer to our participants as ‘patients’ but rather they are considered ‘students’. Using the word ‘patient’ tends to give an erroneous impression of illness and disease, which is not the main thrust of our program. Certainly issues of health and nutrition need to corrected, especially in the withdrawal and detoxification phases of the program. The term student is used as we are educating the individual into the use of the tools and abilities needed to sustain a continuous drug free productive life and to confront and resolve the three main factors behind relapse and continued use. Addiction is not a disease of a lifetime. It can and is being ended on a daily basis here a Narconon Arrowhead.
