Success Story - Narconon Arrowhead Drug Treatment Facility
I have now completed all the books here at Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Treatment Facility. When I came here I wasn’t sure how much I was going to get out of this drug rehab program. I’m amazed in the difference in myself. I can tell the difference. I’m confident in my ability to stay clean and sober by confronting my environment and any problems I come across in life. I love myself and others now. I’m appreciative of what I have. I’m energetic about my life and ready to go have a successful life. I love the person who I am today. I am happy, which was one of my gains through my drug rehab program. I am happy every day and throughout the day. I thought that would never be possible. My communication with others is amazing compared to what it was before coming to Narconon Arrowhead. I know I can do anything and have anything in this world and intend on getting everything I want. I have most of it now after completing this drug rehab program, HAPPINESS! My body is in the best shape it has ever been in and clean of drugs. I no longer get urges to do drugs or think about them. I can now start a productive life and make my parents proud. I am amazed of what I got out of this drug rehab program. I am a completely different man. I am going to take life one day at a time and make the most out of every day with no regrets. I no longer am worried about my past nor think about the negative things in my past. I am a rehabilitated man. This drug rehab program was and is amazing. I can’t say enough good about it. I will definitely use everything I learned and already have applied it to my life. J.C.
Alcoholism
Alcoholism is an
addiction to alcohol.
Addiction is defined as a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
In severe
alcoholism cessation of use can cause delirium tremens and be life threatening.
Medical withdrawal is vital in these situations and needs to be evaluated by competent and informed medical professionals.
Following a full withdrawal from alcohol use the alcoholic’s health and nutrition levels need to be monitored and a program to return them to a health nutritional balance is needed. Follow up with a full
addiction program to address the cravings, guilt, and depression are vital to creating an alcohol free productive life for the individual.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Addiction withdrawal is the term applied to the process of terminating or ceasing the use of the drug or alcohol causing the addiction.
Withdrawal symptoms are those physical, mental, and emotional discomforts occurring as a result of this process.
Some procedures attempt to ease withdrawal with the use of additional drugs or chemicals. This can and does complicate the process as now there are new substances that are creating dependencies along with the intense cravings for the original drug of addiction. In most cases withdrawal can be accomplished with adequate medical monitoring and proper nutrition.
Drugs severely deplete vitamin and nutritional stores in the body and when properly addressed will reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms without the dangers of using additional drugs.
Methamphetamine comes in many forms and can be smoked, snorted, orally ingested, or injected. The drug alters moods in different ways, depending on how it is taken. Immediately after smoking the drug or injecting it, the user experiences an intense rush or ‘flash’ that lasts only a few minutes. Snorting or oral ingestion produces euphoria -- a high but not an intense rush. As with similar stimulants, methamphetamine most often is used in a ‘binge and crash’ pattern. Because tolerance for methamphetamine occurs within minutes -- meaning that the pleasurable effects disappear even before the drug concentration in the blood falls significantly -- users try to maintain the high by binging on the drug.
Each alcohol or drug can and does have its own set of side effects; however there are some side effects that are common to any form of addiction.
These can be classed under the broad categories of cravings, guilt and depression.
Cravings are the intense feeling of physical or emotion need for more drugs or alcohol.
Guilt and depression are the inevitable side effects of all the things the individual has done to hurt or harm himself, his family and loved one, friends, associates, and others in general. These feelings along with cravings make it very difficult for the individual to stay away from drugs or alcohol.
As he or she has a very hard time confronting the reality of the harm created, the drugs appear to be the only solution to remove the physical and emotional pain. It is a deadly trap as the drugs are the main contributor to these feelings.
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.
