Illegal Drugs
Illegal drugs are those drugs which have no approved medical use.
These are the drugs one usually thinks of when he thinks of drug
abuse or drug addiction.
These drugs certainly are creating widespread
abuse and addiction; however,
prescription drugs such as painkillers, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotics are increasingly showing up as drugs of abuse and addiction.
They are appearing as the primary drugs of use as well as more and more often showing up as additional drugs of abuse in
addiction treatment facilities.
The debilitating effects of these
illegal drugs and
prescription drugs can be life threatening and even fatal. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in a drug free approach to creating drug free lives.
Addiction is handled fully at all levels and with all substances. Our 76% success rate speaks for itself.

The
12 step program has been around in various forms since the 1920’s.
It basically involves 12 different steps done by the addict or
alcoholic in an attempt to gain control over the
addiction or alcoholism.
There are thousands of local meetings throughout the world whose membership uses the 12 steps as their basic approach.
Many of the short term
drug rehabs also use the 12 step approach to solving
addiction or alcoholism.
There is absolutely no doubt that this approach works for some and works well. However, overall success rates tend to be dismally low. For instance AA reports a meager 5-7% retention rate for those attending these meetings. All is not hopeless for you or a loved one who has found a
12 step program not fully handling addiction or alcoholism. There are more non-traditional alternatives available with significantly higher success rates; Narconon Arrowhead is one of these.
Addiction clinics are generally out-patient facilities which offer various services to aid in
addiction recovery. Some, such as methadone clinics, are actually involved in simply substituting one drug or another.
This is misguided help as replacing one drug with another is never a long term solution to drug addiction.
This is not to say that
addiction clinics don’t offer some valuable services, most of them do.
An addiction clinic can be a starting point in confronting addiction.
Following up clinic services with a comprehensive long term, impatient drug
rehabilitation program is the best insurance for a drug free productive life. Narconon Arrowhead is such a facility.
The cycle of
addiction begins with a problem, discomfort, or physical or emotional pain. Drugs or alcohol are used in an effort to find relief.
Short term temporary relief is found which give the drug or alcohol value in the eye of the user.
When confronted with the problem, pain, etc. again in the future the individual is prone to use the drug or alcohol again.
The problem arises when it takes more and more of the drug or alcohol to get the same effect and instead of handling the source of the problem or pain the drugs are continually used to mask the symptoms while the problem itself continues to get worse.
The drugs and alcohol themselves create new physical problems, shut of awareness and ability, all of which simply increases the symptoms to the point of the person being obsessed with finding and using the drugs or alcohol to numb himself, despite consequences to self and family.
