Narconon Arrowhead Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center Success Story

When I arrived here at Narconon Arrowhead, I had lost all hope in life and myself. I was defeated and living on the streets, smoking crack, being in an abusive relationship brought me so low I felt like I would just rather die. When I was first here at drug rehab I wouldn’t talk to anyone in fear they would hurt me or put me down. I never in a million years imagined I could feel so good. This drug rehab program has given me my life back. In here I have regained myself and my family. I have grown. I have self-esteem and confidence I never before had. I can produce and provide. I have been able to sit down and talk and help others as they have done for me. My body and mind are clean, as is the new life waiting for me out there. I have the ability to make the right decision and stay away from people who are not striving for the same goals. I am here on the earth for a specific reason and I have purpose - I never before believed that. My purpose to live and succeed and help others who will help me survive. I have found out who I really am and it feels good. I am an intelligent, beautiful, funny, talented, caring, honest, respectful, trustworthy, hard working woman, daughter and friend. I am drug-free for the first time in 17 years and wonder why I never realized how good it feels before now. I remember things. I have never laughed so much in my life and all of me and my emotions are genuine. I will never, ever forget what I have been given here at Narconon Arrowhead's drug rehab program. I am a success! I am alive! Thank you! M.R.

Causes of Relapse

Causes of Relapse
There are definite specific causes of relapse and once these causes are handled relapse tends to just fade away as a condition or a worry. The first cause of relapse is cravings (mental and physical) that keep the individual seeking drugs or alcohol. Most withdrawal programs deal only with drug use cessation. While this is an important and vital action in any recovery it is far from being a full detoxification of the body. Drugs and toxins lodge in the fatty tissues of the body for month and years after use has ceased. In moments of physical or emotional stress these toxins can be released into the system again creating strong emotional and physical urges to use again. The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program fully flushes these drugs and toxins from the body accompanied by a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being. Most of our program participants report and end to drug cravings at this point.

Addiction Facts and Addiction

Addiction Facts
Many times someone’s personal opinions, or pet theories gets mixed up with actual addiction facts and this is often confusing to someone trying to understand addiction. Probably a good starting point is a solid definition of what addiction is. Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and using of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.

 

Rehab Clinic and Addiction

Rehab Clinic
In the field of addiction treatment a rehab clinic is generally meant to indicate a short term outpatient treatment facility. These can all too often be facilities where an individual receives replacement or supplemental drugs in an attempt to handle their drug or drugs of addiction. A good example is a methadone clinic. Methadone is more harmful and more addictive than heroin which it is meant to replace. One addiction is being substituted for another. This is not to say all rehab clinics operate this way or are detrimental. Some offer valid short term options until full rehabilitation services can be secured. This point of drug substitution is mentioned as a point to watch out for when considering a rehab clinic.

 

Drug – Marijuana and Addiction

Drug – Marijuana
Marijuana is to most commonly used illegal drug in the world. Marijuana contains more than 400 different toxins and cancer causing chemicals. During the 1970’s researched uncovered the fact that marijuana’s active ingredient ‘THC’ lodged in the fatty tissues of the body for months and years. This puts the person that smokes two or three joints a week constantly under the influence of the drug. Next to alcohol, marijuana is the second most frequently found substance in the bodies of drivers involved in fatal automobile accidents. With stronger and stronger strains of marijuana hitting the streets it is no wonder that more and more individuals are seeking treatment for marijuana addiction.

 

Addiction Recovery Program and Addiction

Addiction Recovery Program
An effective addiction recovery program should be much more than just withdrawal or a few meetings. A truly effective addiction recovery program will be a series of actions or steps, done in the correct sequence, each of which would full handle a particular aspect of addiction. All of the steps or actions added together should add up to a drug free productive life that lasts and is not subject to constant reversion or relapse. Three of the main factors needing resolved are cravings, guilt, and depression. These are quite often the factors that not only lead up to addiction, but then continue it despite the addict’s best efforts at staying clean. Narconon Arrowhead is a comprehensive addiction recovery program whose state purpose is not only drug use cessation but a drug free productive life for our program participants.
