Drug Alcohol Addiction Rehabilitation Success Story

This drug rehab program has really made a change in my life. I wasted 52 months in a Texas prison and too many other months to a lifelong addition to coke, meth or whatever I could get in a syringe, not counting pot and alcohol. I tried three Twelve step drug rehab programs in the ‘90s plus a couple of other drug rehabs and was never able to stay clean for any length of time. I’ve been clean now for almost 100 days and I’m no longer a drug addict. I’ve been calling myself an addict for more than twenty years. I know now that I don’t have a disease. I was just making the wrong choices. Now, for the first time, in more than 28 years, I know I have gained the knowledge to finally help myself make the right choices in life. Those choices are not to get high. I can now be a father to my son and hopefully find someone that wants to live with a normal man instead of a dopehead. M.A.

Rehab Facilities

Rehab Facilities
In addition to the barrier to recovery presented by guilt, there are two further obstacles that must be overcome on the way to lasting and lifetime recovery. These two barriers are cravings and depression. Without finding a program that addresses all three barriers, rehabilitation efforts may continue to disappoint. The Narconon program is based on research and breakthroughs in the field of drug rehabilitation completed by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. After intense research into the effects of drugs, he discovered what it would take to enable a person to recover from addiction -physically, morally, mentally and spiritually. Over the next forty years, these researches were refined by Mr. Hubbard and the Narconon staff into the Narconon program that exists today, with a success rate over 70 %.

Alcohol Abuse and Addiction

Alcohol Abuse
Any treatment for addiction usually includes handling alcohol abuse. There is of course alcoholism itself, which is simply the name given to alcohol addiction. In addition to this, statistics at Narconon Arrowhead show that alcohol abuse quite often accompanies other drug addictions and must be handled as well. The idea that one can quit his drug of choice but still abuse alcohol is a dangerous idea. As drugs or alcohol are generally used as crutches for painful situations (mental or physical) in ones life, substituting one drug for another (including alcohol) can be seen as no solution at all. Effective handling of alcohol abuse, or any other substance abuse, involves confronting and controlling those life situations that are creating the need or desire to escape through alcohol or drugs. When one can be more comfortable in life without drugs or alcohol than with them, then the need or desire for them will cease.

 

Alcohol Treatments and Addiction

Alcohol Treatments
There are many forms of alcohol treatments available, 12 step meetings, medical detoxification, short and long term programs, behavioral, educational, etc. Narconon Arrowhead is long-term, non traditional, drug free approach to alcohol treatment. Medical withdrawal is used when needed to insure the health and safety of the alcoholic while ceasing alcohol use. At Narconon Arrowhead the physical factors of addiction are addressed following withdrawal with the New Life Detoxification Program to eliminate the drug and alcohol metabolites that lodge in the fatty tissues of the body and can lead to future cravings and relapse if not removed. Narconon Arrowhead alcohol treatments address the cravings, guilt and depression that accompany and more often than not precede the individual becoming alcoholic. A full handling of each individuals situations and needs follows this using life skills training which put the individual himself in the position to confront and handle his life with renewed vigor and enthusiasm.

 

Abuse Drugs and Addiction

Abuse Drugs
At Narconon Arrowhead we realize that in a majority of cases we are dealing with individuals who not only have a drug or alcohol problem but who abuse drugs in the plural sense, meaning more than one drug of abuse. One of course will have a primary drug of abuse, but in this society at this time the ready availability of various legal and illegal substances make abuse of multiple drugs the reality for most. Each drug or substance has its own effects on the individual both mentally and physically. Effective drug rehab methodologies will confront and deal with this reality. Narconon drug rehab methodologies have embraced this reality for over 40 years with the highest long term success rates in the field.

 

Rehab Centers and Addiction

Rehab Centers
The first challenge of rehab centers in addiction treatment is to help the individual with their drug and alcohol cravings. Cravings are strong, uncontrollable, urges that drive the addict to use over and over. Some withdrawal symptoms and cravings are caused by poor nutrition and depletion of vitamin stores in the body that the drugs are sucking out of the body. Depletion of nutrition and vitamins can cause the person to be tired and moody and can also cause shakiness and pain. The drugs accumulating in the body stress the various systems in the body including nerve systems. At this point more drugs are used in an attempt to alleviate feelings and emotions that the drugs themselves are creating. This is why treating drug addiction with more drugs only makes the problem worse and is now being rejected as a workable therapy by many rehab centers.
