Drug Rehab Success Story

Today I have been five months clean and sober while here at drug rehab! I’ve had multiple attempts at sobriety and I can, for once, say honestly this is the longest I have gone without using or drinking. It is a good feeling for me, knowing I’ve already gone through so much already in my drug rehab program! I know in my heart, I’ll never regret coming to Narconon. Five months doesn’t seem long to the normal person, but to the former drug user it is. However I know this is just the beginning for me in my new life. I want to thank my family for never giving up on me and let them know I love them. Every time, they’ve always been there for me and I can’t wait for all the times in the future that I’ll be able to be there for them. J.C.

LSD Addiction

LSD Addiction
LSD is one of the most psychologically damaging drugs available on the streets today. LSD users may manifest relatively long-lasting psychoses such as schizophrenia or severe depression, even after only one use. There is a tolerance that can build up requiring larger and larger doses to induce the “LSD trip”, but is there such a thing as LSD addiction? Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. Many individuals coming to addiction treatment for LSD report using more and more of the drug more frequently over time with many of these individuals binging on the drug for long periods of time.

Prescription Drug Addictions and Addiction

Prescription Drug Addictions
Prescription drug addictions are on the rise, not only as primary substances of abuse but also as secondary substances of abuse. At Narconon Arrowhead statistics show significant numbers of program participants involved in multiple prescription drug abuse along with any other reported drug addiction or alcoholism. This is no small problem when one takes into account the severe debilitating effects occurring on both the mental and physical levels from the abuse of these ‘medications’. Couple this with severe and often deadly side effects from mixing these substances and the clear rise in violence and suicide that can accompany withdrawal and ones sees a whole new level of treatment needed in handling today’s addictions.

 

Cocaine Addiction and Addiction

Cocaine Addiction
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. Next to methamphetamine, cocaine creates the greatest psychological dependence of any drug. Compulsive cocaine use develops much more rapidly when the substance is smoked rather than snorted. A tolerance to cocaine develops quickly – the addict soon fails to achieve as much pleasure as he or she did from the same amount of cocaine earlier. Thus more and more cocaine is needed more and more often to maintain the same effect. Along with this increased use come increased health risks.

 

Drug Side Effects and Addiction

Drug Side Effects
In many cases addiction could be considered a side effect of drug use at abusive levels. No one intends to become an addict. Addiction begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain for a person. This person is, like most people in our society, basically good. But he encounters a problem that is causing him physical or emotional pain and discomfort and for which he does not have an immediate answer. Perhaps, as a child or teenager, he has difficulty “fitting in.” Or maybe there are physical injuries such as a broken bone, a bad back or some other chronic physical condition, or the person has suffered intolerable losses in life.

 

Drug Detox and Addiction

Drug Detox
At Narconon Arrowhead drug detox is a multi-step process. First of course is actual cessation of drug or alcohol use. The is commonly referred to as withdrawal and at Narconon Arrowhead includes full medical supervision as well as nutritional, physical, and mental/emotional assists given to achieve a withdrawal process that is as short, and comfortable as possible. This is followed by the New Life Detoxification Program. This program is a full detoxification designed to remove actual drug and toxin residuals built up and lodged in the body. By actual reports many of our students report a full cessation of drug cravings following the New Life Detoxification Program with physical and mental/emotional health restored to a marked degree putting the student into a position to now learn the tools necessary to maintain a drug free and productive life without constant fear of relapse.
