Drug and alcohol addiction is the root cause to many other societal problems and it costs our country up to $500 billion each year, in addition to the thousands of lives lost, broken homes and drug-related crime.

Drug Rehab Information By State
At Narconon Arrowhead
alcoholism treatment takes a multi-faceted approach.
First there is the necessity to cease current use of alcohol.
This can sometimes require medical supervision do to the sometimes life-threatening effect of ceasing use.
Then it is necessary to get all of the alcohol toxins out of the body as fully as possible.
These lodge in the fat tissues in the body and can create cravings days, months, or even years after last use. The Narconon New Life
Detoxification Program achieves this. By far the biggest barriers to continued sobriety are the unhandled cravings, guilt, and depression created by the
alcoholic lifestyle and troubles created for self, family, loved ones, and careers. Narconon Arrowhead uses a full array of life skills training to confront and put these three vital factors to rest.
Drug Rehab Information By City
The term ‘Alcoholic’ is simply the name given to someone addicted to alcohol.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
All the various formulas regarding how many drinks, how often, are meaningless when reviewed against the above definition.
The compulsive seeking and use could be by the minute, hour, day, etc.
The key is compulsive seeking and use, despite what it does to self, family, or career. It is not that the
alcoholic doesn’t care; it is that the use has become compulsive and the cravings, guilt, and depression keep him or her drinking.
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.
Per the Encarta dictionary
chemical dependency is
addiction to a chemical substance or drug.
Dependency can be further defined as the mental or physical need to use a drug or other substance regularly, despite the fact that they are likely to have a damaging effect.
Chemical dependency knows no educational, class, race, or social bounds.
Most
chemical dependency starts out as an attempt to handle some sort of physical or emotional problem.
Some do offer small relief in the short term. The problem enters as more and more use occurs. The very problems originally trying to be solved are now being perpetuated and amplified by the drug use. The individual can not confront perceived pain (emotional or physical) that he feels will come from not using.
