Inpatient Drug Rehab and Addiction

Inpatient Drug Rehab
Addiction treatment services are not all equal. Finding the correct inpatient drug rehab is essential. Some are withdrawal services only. Some inpatient drug rehab services embrace a drug free approach to rehabilitation while others feel that somehow more or different drugs are the answer. 12 step rehabs are the norm but with dismally low success rates inpatient drug rehab treatment is moving more and more in a non-traditional direction. Narconon Arrowhead is a drug free, long-term inpatient drug rehab that has been embracing non-traditional methodology for over 40 years with success rates that are among the highest of all inpatient drug rehabs – non-traditional or not.

Rehab Services and Addiction

Rehab Services
Narconon Arrowhead rehab services focus on regaining a drug free life. As soon as the person has stably withdrawn from drugs or alcohol, he is ready to start gaining the life skills he needs to deal with his problems, instead of wiping them out with drugs or alcohol. He or she must gain basic communication skills and an ability to confront his or her problems, people and life. He or she must also shed the pain and regrets of the past, and learn the practical life skills that make one able to maintain a drug-free life in the future. This is accomplished through the eight phases of the Narconon program.

 

Residential Rehab and Addiction

Residential Rehab
A residential rehab facility is one where the individual lives and resides at the facility for the duration of his or her addiction treatment. Residential rehab in all but a few cases is probably the best choice when it comes to addiction treatment. It removes the individual from the environment where all the use and abuse was occurring and allows the addict to confront the issues of addiction in a drug free and safe environment. Interacting with and aiding fellow addicts who strongly desire sobriety is in no small way a major benefit as well. An addict’s ability to begin to reach out to another human being and give as well as receive help and assistance can be a major turning point in recovery.

 

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in regular abusers 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 (‘old turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal is considered much less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal.
