Success Story from our Drug Addiction Treatment Center

This is incredible. I feel great. When I came here to this drug rehab, I was a lost soul with no real direction or purpose in life. I was wasting my time and life. I did not know who the real me was. I have discovered who I am now. I love my life and realize that all the little stuff that used to bother me, set me off or make me distraught doesn’t do that any more. I’m finally at peace with myself and others around me. No more violent outbursts, frustration or random sadness. I owe my life to this drug rehab program and know that if I hadn’t allowed it to work, it wouldn’t have. I was my driving force to complete this drug rehab program and do it well. That is the first time in my life I can say that. I’m excited, happy and most of all, ready for my life and my new life to come. N.P.

Medical Drugs

Medical Drugs
Medical drugs are generally prescribed as short term solutions in the handling of pain. Many of these medical drugs will build up tolerance in the system requiring increased amounts for the same effect. Thus dependence sets in and one begins taking these at abusive and addictive levels before long. This accounts for drugs like OxyContin being more and more used in illegal black markets to handle addiction to them. Black market illegal use of drugs such as these is outstripping legitimate use and prescription. Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are much the same story with many school age children selling their prescriptions in the school yard. Add the horrific side effects, some of which are life threatening, and what we see is an epidemic rise in the abuse and addiction to prescription medications.

Relapse Substance Abuse and Addiction

Relapse Substance Abuse
A relapse to substance abuse can occur when the individual has not fully confronted and handled the personal issues leading up and then continuing the substance abuse. Relapse is almost inevitable if there are unhandled cravings, guilt, and depression issues that have not been fully resolved. Relapse is a desire to mask these symptoms with the same substances that helped create them. Getting someone to cease use and through an effective withdrawal process is only the beginning of the puzzle of substance abuse. At Narconon Arrowhead a majority of our staff are past substance abusers themselves and know what it takes to resolve the problems of cravings, guilt, and depression in a manner that lasts. With new skills and abilities learned at Narconon one is able to obtain lasting relief without the need to run away and continually numb themselves with further substances. Happy, drug free, and productive for a lifetime is the goal at Narconon Arrowhead, our 76% success rate speaks for itself.

 

Addiction Rehab and Addiction

Addiction Rehab
Rehabilitate means to return to a previous condition or an improvement of even that. An addiction rehab that is truly effective will bypass restoring the individual to a previous condition and go straight for an improvement of even that. The reasoning is relatively simple. The previous condition obviously contributed to and led up to the drug abuse and addiction to begin with. If one is trying to insure a drug free productive condition that will last a lifetime than one better locate, address, and fully resolve those past factors that contributed to and let up to the addiction initially and then kept it going.

 

Rehab Hospital and Addiction

Rehab Hospital
A short stay in a rehab hospital is sometimes and important and vital beginning to the drug rehabilitation process. This is not required in all cases by a long ways. However some extreme cases of alcoholism as well as some cases of prescription drug abuse necessitate very close medical supervision. These substances can present life threatening side affects is use is ceased cold turkey. This is quite different from randomly giving out substitute drugs because someone is uncomfortable or fearful. This should be evaluated by competent medical professionals who are thoroughly familiar with the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Most addicts do well with a drug free withdrawal process, while a small percentage are going to require a medically supervised step down at a rehab hospital.

 

Drug – ‘Meth’ and Addiction

Drug – ‘Meth’
‘Meth’ is short for methamphetamine which is a whit crystalline drug that can be taken by snorting, injecting, smoking, and at times orally. It is extremely addictive and can create uncontrollable cravings even after only one use. Despite the raiding and closing of the majority of clandestine meth labs in this country, there are a few that survive and the void has definitely been filled by foreign drug cartels operating in the U.S. making meth readily available and easily affordable. For this reason meth addiction continues to climb at epidemic levels and has spread to all corners of the country. One is literally taking their lives in the hands right from the very first use.
