Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Abuse Treatment Center

I came to Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Abuse Treatment Center when I realized I could not stop using cocaine. I had thought previously I could stop. I was a successful businesswoman. I had purchased a half million dollar home and had always paid off all of my credit card bills in full. That was before I became addicted to cocaine. During my yearlong cocaine binge, I maxed my credit cards and was making it to work later and later. I also could barely pay my mortgage at the end of the year. When I made the choice that I needed help, it was because I knew I was going to start smoking cocaine. I didn’t choose to come to drug rehab because I was losing everything. I couldn’t even focus on that. All I could think about was cocaine. I arrived at Narconon Arrowhead in April. It has helped me realize so many things about myself that I don’t think I would have if I was somewhere else, like another drug rehab where they give you one drug to help you get off another. I can’t wait to see the new me six months from now. I am already amazed at the new me after two weeks. N.F.

Effects of Addiction and Addiction

Effects of Addiction
As any loved one of an addict can tell you, the effects of addiction go far and beyond just the effects created on the addict himself. The amount of stress and distress created in the wake of active addiction can and do effect the emotional and physical well being of loved ones and associates or the addict. Financial ruin, destroyed marriages, emotional upsets to children, distrust, and repulsion are just a few that can be named. The sad part of it is the fact that the addict himself is often unaware of creating these situations until they have reached a breaking point. As drug and alcohol addiction reduce awareness of the environment and often distort it, it is a sad commentary that the addict when he becomes aware of these harms actually feel great guilt and depression, which often leads to more and more drugs in an attempt to numb him or herself.

Chronic abuse can lead to psychotic behavior, characterized by intense paranoia, visual and auditory hallucinations, and out-of-control rages that can be coupled with extremely violent behavior.
