Drug Rehab Center Success Story
I am one of those people who society thought the phrase, “once an addict, always an addict” applied to. I have been in and out of jail and drug rehabs since I turned 18. After coming to Narconon Arrowhead's drug rehab center, my mind started changing. Something was different here. Maybe it was the staff or the alternative to the Twelve step approach. Maybe it was my body without toxins from years of self-induced exposure to chemicals. Narconon Arrowhead has changed me. Thanks to this drug rehab program, when someone tells me the old saying, I can proudly correct them. K.D.
Morphine Addiction
Morphine can be highly addictive with Tolerance, physical, and psychological
addiction to Morphine developing quickly.
Morphine activates the brain’s reward systems. Activation of the brains’ receptors is very intense, causing the individual to crave Morphine and to focus his or her activities around the taking of Morphine. This causes the added effects of guilt and depression as ones responsibilities and values are compromised in order to obtain the drug.
Morphine also reduces a person’s level of consciousness and awareness, harming the ability to think clearly or be fully aware of present surroundings Withdrawal from Morphine causes nausea, tearing, yawning, chills, and sweating lasting up to three days.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Addiction
counseling done correctly will assist the addict with making the personal life choices that result in a drug free lifestyle.
Unfortunately much of what passes for
counseling amounts to invalidation and evaluation of the individual, both of which have minimal workability in effecting lasting change.
At Narconon Arrowhead
addiction counseling takes a different road.
We use an educational approach where the individual is given the theory and the application of workable tool for maintaining a drug free lifestyle.
The individual then puts these into action for him and observes their workability to the unique situations in their lives. In this way the addict gains tools and methods that are uniquely his and that he will continue to use as he has already seen the positive results from them – not merely someone telling him what to do or think.
Any talk of drug
addiction or drug
treatment must include those who
abuse alcohol.
Alcohol acts as any other drug or toxin.
A small amount is a stimulant, a larger amount acts as a depressant, and given enough it can and will kill you dead.
Alcohol
addiction acts as any other addiction; we simply give it its own name – alcoholism.
Helping those who
abuse alcohol involves cessation of use and withdrawal (often requiring close medical supervision in an alcoholics case), a full and complete
detoxification of the body, followed by life skills to confront, deal with and effectively remove the cravings, guilt and depression that goes hand in hand with those who heavily abuse alcohol.
What exactly do we mean when we say
rehab program?
Well, rehabilitate means to restore to or improve a previous condition.
A program is a series of steps to bring about a desired result.
So an effective
rehab program is a series of steps to bring about an improvement of the condition the person was in prior to the drug or alcohol addiction.
Simply withdrawing someone from
drug use is merely one step though an important one. Going to support groups or meetings is also a step. Here at the Narconon Arrowhead
rehab program our full
rehab program will address physical, emotional, and mental factors leading up to and then continuing addiction. The three broad categories are cravings, guilt and depression. When one is feeling better (emotionally and physically) as well as functioning better they will no longer require or crave drugs in an attempt to escape these unwanted feelings. Narconon
rehab programs rehabilitate lives so that
drug use is no longer needed or desired.
When speaking of an inpatient drug
treatment clinic we are usually referring to a medical facility geared towards or specializing in getting the addict or
alcoholic weaned from the use of these substances.
Alcohol and several of the prescription painkillers and mood altering drugs run a health risk if cessation occurs ‘cold turkey’. Severe Delirium Tremens for alcohol
abuse as well as several of the side effects from prescription dependence can be life threatening if not medically supervised.
These ‘medical detox’ facilities can and do serve a vital role in the
rehabilitation process.
Many of these get the individual to the point were they can cease use of the drug or alcohol safely.
This is by no means a full
detoxification of the human body. Inpatient drug
treatment clinic services need followed up with a program such as the New Life
Detoxification Program at Narconon Arrowhead to fully handle the drug and toxins lodged in the fatty tissues of the body.
