Success Story for Drug Rehab

When I first came to Narconon Arrowhead’s Drug Rehab, I was shooting five grams of heroin and had no hope. I had tried numerous Twelve step programs. My parents and probation officer were running out of hope and so was I. This drug rehab program has more than met my expectations, along with those of my parents and parole officer. Every other drug rehab program I’ve been to wanted to load me up with psych meds and mess me up even more. I have finally felt what it is like to be normal. I’ve been off all medications including over-the-counter ones for months. When I came here to this drug rehab, I thought my life was over. Due to the technology here, I have been educated and and have forgotten what being a drug addict felt like. I feel so strong and I like myself again. It has been an amazing experience. M.S.

Addiction Remedies

Addiction Remedies
Addiction remedies come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The word remedy means a way of putting something right or getting rid of something undesirable. From this we can see that there is much more to addiction remedies than simply getting someone to stop using. If we are going to put something right in terms of addiction then it is first important to find out what went wrong and then work on getting rid of the undesirable effects. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in not only ending use but in locating the root causes and working out solutions that give back to an individual a lifetime of happy drug free productiveness.

Addiction Counseling and Addiction

Addiction Counseling
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.

 

Drug Addiction Recovery and Addiction

Drug Addiction Recovery
True and lasting drug addiction recoveries involves handling the three factors that lead up to and then continue addiction. These three factors are 1. The cravings, mental and physical for the drugs and/or alcohol; 2. The guilt that comes from the lifestyle of addiction and the things done to loved ones that haunt us; and 3. The depression that comes from reduced health, lack of self-control, broken lives and relationships, as well as financial and criminal burdens. Unless these three factors are fully addressed and fully resolved there is little chance of lasting drug addiction recovery. There really are only three options when it comes to drug or alcohol addiction – jail, death, or sobriety. Narconon can return you or your loved one to a drug free productive life of sobriety.

 

Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Addiction

Drug and Alcohol Treatment
The correct choice of drug and alcohol treatment is a life altering and (more often than not) a life saving choice. Here are some of our suggestions at Narconon Arrowhead for what to look for in drug and alcohol treatment regardless of whether you choose Narconon Arrowhead or not. First, find a program that is drug free including withdrawal (except when medically needed). Handling addiction with more drugs just doesn’t make good sense. Second find a program that offers full detoxification in addition to withdrawal only. Stored drugs and toxins can account for cravings and relapse months or even years after last use. Third in our list of most important drug and alcohol treatment needs is a treatment that fully addresses guilt and depression which almost always accompany drug or alcohol addiction, and in fact can be major factors that led up to the drug or alcohol abuse to begin with. These are of course not a complete list, but are starting points when exploring various treatment options.

 

Ecstasy Drug and Addiction

Ecstasy Drug
MDMA or "ecstasy" is a Schedule I synthetic, psychoactive drug possessing stimulant and hallucinogenic properties. MDMA possesses chemical variations of the stimulant amphetamine or methamphetamine and a hallucinogen, most often mescaline. MDMA can cause adverse effects including nausea, hallucinations, chills, sweating, increases in body temperature, tremors, involuntary teeth clenching, muscle cramping, and blurred vision. MDMA users also report after-effects of anxiety, paranoia, and depression. An MDMA overdose is characterized by high blood pressure, faintness, panic attacks, and, in more severe cases, loss of consciousness, seizures, and a drastic rise in body temperature. MDMA overdoses can be fatal, as they may result in heart failure or extreme heat stroke.
