Adult Drug Rehab Success Story

I recently completed the Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Program. I am a completely different person than the young man that walked through the Narconon Arrowhead doors months ago. I am stronger physically, spiritually and mentally. This drug rehab program has given me and my family so much. I received confidence in myself and my abilities. For the first time in years, I wake up every morning looking forward to the day ahead of me, wanting to have new experiences and live everyday to its fullest. I am happy and realize that life is so much easier, peaceful, enjoyable, interesting and self-rewarding without drugs. My family got the son, brother, nephew, cousin, grandson that they truly deserve. Narconon Arrowhead has saved my life and has given me something that drug abuse took from me: HOPE. A.K

How Addiction Occurs

How Addiction Occurs
The cycle of addiction begins with a problem, discomfort, or physical or emotional pain. Drugs or alcohol are used in an effort to find relief. Short term temporary relief is found which give the drug or alcohol value in the eye of the user. When confronted with the problem, pain, etc. again in the future the individual is prone to use the drug or alcohol again. The problem arises when it takes more and more of the drug or alcohol to get the same effect and instead of handling the source of the problem or pain the drugs are continually used to mask the symptoms while the problem itself continues to get worse. The drugs and alcohol themselves create new physical problems, shut of awareness and ability, all of which simply increases the symptoms to the point of the person being obsessed with finding and using the drugs or alcohol to numb himself, despite consequences to self and family.

Substance Abuse Intervention and Addiction

Substance Abuse Intervention
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.

 

Rehab Programs and Addiction

Rehab Programs
Rehab programs come in all sorts of flavors and sizes. There is inpatient vs. outpatient, long term vs. short term, drug free vs. drug use, traditional 12 step vs. non-traditional approaches. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, drug free, non-tradition, inpatient facility. We operate from the viewpoint of results obtained and not time spent. The individual stays until a drug free productive life is obtained. Average time is 90-120 days, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. We are drug free and non-traditional in our approach, never considering replacing one drug with another as anything else but foolishness. Many replacement drugs used are more harmful and potentially addictive than the ones they seek to replace. All rehab programs are not equal, ask questions and insure your loved one is getting what they need to not only get clean, but stay clean.

 

Alcohol Treatments and Addiction

Alcohol Treatments
There are many forms of alcohol treatments available, 12 step meetings, medical detoxification, short and long term programs, behavioral, educational, etc. Narconon Arrowhead is long-term, non traditional, drug free approach to alcohol treatment. Medical withdrawal is used when needed to insure the health and safety of the alcoholic while ceasing alcohol use. At Narconon Arrowhead the physical factors of addiction are addressed following withdrawal with the New Life Detoxification Program to eliminate the drug and alcohol metabolites that lodge in the fatty tissues of the body and can lead to future cravings and relapse if not removed. Narconon Arrowhead alcohol treatments address the cravings, guilt and depression that accompany and more often than not precede the individual becoming alcoholic. A full handling of each individuals situations and needs follows this using life skills training which put the individual himself in the position to confront and handle his life with renewed vigor and enthusiasm.

 

Drug Alcohol and Addiction

Drug Alcohol
The Narconon program, unlike more traditional alcohol addiction treatments, deals with both the physical and mental problems brought about by drug and alcohol abuse. Our goal is to assist the addict, both mentally and physically, to become a whole and sane person capable of dealing with life's many and varied challenges without resorting to drugs or alcohol. The end result is a success rate that shows 70% of our graduates are still drug and alcohol free two years of completing the program. None of these solutions involves the use of any additional drugs or alcohol.
