Rehab Program

When searching for an effective rehab program one can be flooded and confused with all the different options. How does one sort through this myriad of choices? The starting point should be experience and success rates. Does the rehab program you are considering have a track record of success for a period of years? If it’s not stated, ask. The goal is a drug free and productive lifestyle that lasts for a lifetime, not merely stopping drug use. Narconon Arrowhead has over 40 years of experience with a success rate often exceeding 70%. This is compared to average of 5-15% for many of the more traditional rehab programs. Whether Narconon Arrowhead is your choice or not, look for and insist on experience, effectiveness, and success rates.

Effective drug or alcohol rehab starts with really understanding exactly what rehabilitation is. Rehabilitate in its broad sense means to restore to a previous condition. Any rehab to be effective needs to address the three factors which lead up to and cause addiction to continue. These are mental and physical cravings, quilt, and depression. Drug and alcohol abuse stems from mental or physical pain an individual does not wish to confront or deal with. The drugs or alcohol only appear to alleviate these conditions and after a time contribute to them as well as creating new sources in and endless cycle and trap known as addiction. Confronting and effectively handling the conditions brought about by cravings, quilt, and depression allows the addicted individual to truly ‘rehab’ him or herself and so be restored to a previous condition or at least as close as possible. Narconon Arrowhead is much more than a detox center where the individual simply quits using for a period. Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab methodologies fully handle the above factors allowing one to truly rehabilitate a previous condition and so remove the need for further drug or alcohol use as a false solution to living the life they want.

Drug addiction treatment to be effective needs to help and guide the individual in confronting and gaining the skills and abilities needed to resolve all areas of their lives – not merely ceasing their drug use which is only the beginning. Personal issues of nutrition and gaining a healthy balance need to be addressed. Issues of cravings, quilt, and depression resulting from addiction need confronted and relieved, legal issues often exist. Broken or strained relationships in the family and workplace need resolved. The issue of how the addict gets on with his life in a drug free and productive manner, and be happy and fulfilled doing so, can be one of the biggest issues of all. Addicts and alcoholics are often quite concerned about being miserable and suffering without the drugs or alcohol. Narconon Arrowhead is an empowering program that assists the individual in resolving each of these situations as well as others he or she may have. We don’t enforce or insist rather we help, guide, and assist the individual in finding their own unique answers that will work and more importantly continue to work for them. This helps insure a continuing drug free life as their solutions are theirs and not something dictated or enforced on them.

Counseling is a generally misunderstood word. It is often interpreted as some evaluating for another and telling them what to think or do. Someone else’s opinion or evaluation is simply that, and gives no certainty of anything to the recipient. This is a very limited view of the concept and it has very limited workability as well. Counseling ideally should involve getting the individual to confront and communicate with and about the situations in life that they feel they have no control, or reduced control over. Counseling should offer tools and life skills that the individual can use for themselves and observe for themselves whether they work. More importantly, do they work for the individual himself?

There are three key components to any alcohol and drug abuse treatment. These are a full address of and handling for cravings, guilt, and depression. Without a full resolution of these three factors one cannot expect real and lasting results from any alcohol and drug abuse treatment. These are the three points that have lead up to the addiction or alcoholism and are the three main points that create the continuation of the addiction or alcoholism. When it comes to addiction or alcoholism there are only three choices – jail, death, or sobriety, there really are no other options. Lasting sobriety can be obtained through a full handling of cravings, guilt, and depression.
