Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Prescription Drug Rehab Center
Every graduation, on Friday, I reflect on my previous week. It is my way of inventorying my progress in this drug rehab program, as well as how I feel physically, mentally and emotionally. I have been doing this since I was in the withdrawal phase of the program. The changes in me are remarkable. I have not really changed as much as I have become myself again. My drug use has been running my life for the past five years. I have been missing in action since I was 33 years old. I missed myself, only existing in a body. My mind and spirit were almost dead. When others looked in my eyes, they said I did look dead. This drug rehab program has found in me more than I can express! J.T.
Substance Abuse Addiction
A condition characterized
by repeated compulsive seeking and using of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences is a definition that can apply to substance
abuse as well as substance addiction. When
addiction sets in however it is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence where the substance is craved just to feel somewhat normal.
Withdrawal symptoms, physical and mental usually appear to a greater or lesser degree when the substance is rapidly decreased or terminated.
Substance
abuse has moved into
addiction when the substance use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
Drug Rehab Information By State
An alcohol free lifestyle that is happy, productive, and lasts for a lifetime is the attainable goal of the Narconon Arrowhead alcohol
rehab program.
With a 76% success rate Narconon Arrowhead is among the most effective programs in the world.
Alcohol
addiction is one of the toughest to beat with its’ ready availability and social acceptance. Like all addictions, no matter what the substance, once sobriety is achieved then the real work of handling the cravings, guilt and depression begins.
These are the barriers that left partially or totally unhandled are the
causes of relapse and reversion. Feelings of being stuck with an incurable illness also stem from these three factors.
Alcohol
addiction goes by the more commonly used term of alcoholism.
Make no mistake about it; this is an
addiction pure and simple.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
Alcohol is a very common substance of abuse, accompanying the main drug of addiction, in the case of multiple substance abuse. Conversely, other drugs are commonly involved with
alcohol addiction as well.
The common denominators to all these
addictions are cravings, guilt, and depression and are the three factors needing addressed in order to obtain a drug free and productive life.
Cocaine
addiction can involve the use of powder cocaine or the more potent form of cocaine known as crack.
Both are highly addictive, but crack creates an almost instantaneous short lived feeling of euphoria.
More and more of the substance is used more and more often in an attempt to regain the feelings of euphoria.
The cocaine initially filled some sort of need for the individual.
Perhaps it was only the need to fit in. Cravings, guilt, and depression soon set in and only get worse as the individual violates his own values and those of his family and loved ones in an attempt to simply get back to some feeling of normality. It is a deadly trap that can only end one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety
There is a lot of media and press on the subject of substance
abuse intervention these days, there are even television shows covering the topic.
What happens in most cases of drug and alcohol
addiction is the person ceases to track with reality to a greater or lesser degree.
They simply don’t see the situations or consequences that are as clear as day to you or I.
Their ability to move their attention away from their own drug induced mental and physical pain and out onto their environments is markedly reduced and they are not aware.
This can be quite frustrating to loved ones trying to help, as what is obvious to us is simply not real to the addict in many cases. A substance
abuse intervention should be designed to give the addict enough assistance with his external observations that the situations and consequences that his or her
addiction is creating once again become real to him or her. When the addict feels the threat of pain and loss from his environment is greater than the threat of pain or loss from drugs he or she usually becomes willing to do something, thought this may be reluctantly.
