Detox
Many people have a misunderstanding when it comes to detox.
Quite often it is confused with withdrawal.
Withdrawal is the process of ceasing the current drug or alcohol use with enough of the effects handled so as to give the individual a fighting chance at continued sobriety.
Detox on the other hand should involve removing the quantities of drugs and toxins that store in the fat tissues of the body, sometimes for years.
The Narconon Arrowhead New Life
Detoxification Program is done following withdrawal and results in a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being for the individual. Many, if not most, of our
detoxification program completions report an end to their drug or alcohol cravings at this point.
Drug Rehab Information By State
With most drugs there are short term effect, long term effects and
addiction side effects which would actually be long term effects resulting from abusive use of
illegal drugs and
addiction to
prescription drugs that can occur even at what is commonly considered ‘safe’ levels. Anti-depressants are a case in point.
Many of these legal medications have serious side effects including increased violent behavior as well as suicidal ideation when taken at prescribed levels, especially in youth.
Add in the fact that many of these drugs are taken at abusive non-prescribed levels as well as mixed with other
prescription drugs and illegal street drugs. With the current trends in
abuse and addiction inpatient medically supervised withdrawal is vital in most cases of addiction treatment.
Drugs, including prescription drugs, are essentially poisons.
The amount taken determines the effect.
A small amount acts as a stimulant, a greater amount acts as a sedative, and an even larger amount acts as a poison and can kill.
This is true of any drug, including prescription drugs.
Only the amount needed to achieve the desired result differs. Prescription drugs along with
illegal drugs block off all sensations, the desirable ones with the unwanted. They may of short term value in handling pain, but they also work to wipe out ability, alertness, and muddy one’s thinking.
A drug or alcohol
rehab center could be many different things. It could be a meeting center, a medical facility, a 12 step program.
It could be in-patient, or out-patient.
It could also be a drug free facility or one which embraces further medication in an attempt to handle current drug effects.
If you are looking for a long term residential
rehab center whose program is drug free and empowers the individual rather than breaking him down then Narconon Arrowhead is the
rehab center you are looking for.
Our
rehab center is a full service center that handles all aspects of
addiction from a mild drug free withdrawal, full
detoxification and health building, all the way to an ex-addict who knows he has the abilities, desire, and skills to repair the damage done to self and others. They have also acquired the abilities and outlook needed to pursue a drug free life with vigor and enthusiasm.
Drug side effects is really not an applicable term when one is talking about the effects caused by illegal street drugs. Effects can generally be broken in mental and physical categories.
Drugs use up nutritional and vitamin stores very quickly leaving the body open to all sorts of illness and maladies and many physical effects are the result of these deficiencies.
Drug induced neurosis and psychosis is the easiest way to explain the hundreds of various mental and emotional side effects from
drug use and addiction.
With prescription drugs, many of the side effects are quite debilitating and life threatening even when taken as prescribed, let alone at abusive levels.
