Newburgh, New York Drug Rehab Information

Many programs consider withdrawal from the particular drug of addiction to be detoxification. The is only a partial answer and when substitute drugs are given to replace the substance of abuse this is hardly detoxification at all and is often simply trading one substance for another, as in the use of some anti-depressants, or drugs like methadone, etc. Detoxification means to remove drugs, poisons and toxins from the body as fully as possible. Research clearly indicates that these substances will store in the fatty tissues of the body for months and even years. This in part accounts for drugged feeling and cravings appearing long after use has ceased. At Narconon Arrowhead we follow up withdrawal from use with the New Life Detoxification Program. This is state of the art detoxification embracing nutrition, exercise, and sauna routines to flush the stored drugs and toxins from the body. Many of the people completing this detoxification program report a complete handling and end of drug cravings, with rises in intelligence and ability demonstrated by actual test results.

Drug addiction treatment to be effective needs to help and guide the individual in confronting and gaining the skills and abilities needed to resolve all areas of their lives – not merely ceasing their drug use which is only the beginning. Personal issues of nutrition and gaining a healthy balance need to be addressed. Issues of cravings, quilt, and depression resulting from addiction need confronted and relieved, legal issues often exist. Broken or strained relationships in the family and workplace need resolved. The issue of how the addict gets on with his life in a drug free and productive manner, and be happy and fulfilled doing so, can be one of the biggest issues of all. Addicts and alcoholics are often quite concerned about being miserable and suffering without the drugs or alcohol. Narconon Arrowhead is an empowering program that assists the individual in resolving each of these situations as well as others he or she may have. We don’t enforce or insist rather we help, guide, and assist the individual in finding their own unique answers that will work and more importantly continue to work for them. This helps insure a continuing drug free life as their solutions are theirs and not something dictated or enforced on them.

Any talk of drug addiction or drug treatment must include those who abuse alcohol. Alcohol acts as any other drug or toxin. A small amount is a stimulant, a larger amount acts as a depressant, and given enough it can and will kill you dead. Alcohol addiction acts as any other addiction; we simply give it its own name – alcoholism. Helping those who abuse alcohol involves cessation of use and withdrawal (often requiring close medical supervision in an alcoholics case), a full and complete detoxification of the body, followed by life skills to confront, deal with and effectively remove the cravings, guilt and depression that goes hand in hand with those who heavily abuse alcohol.

Rehab detox is often considered to be merely withdrawal services. Withdrawal while vital is not really the full detoxification needed to insure a full handling for the drugs and toxins still in the body creating sometime uncontrollable cravings. The Narconon Arrowhead New Life Detoxification Program fully handles the drugs and toxin residuals that lodge in the fatty tissues for months and years. In moments of stress these drug residuals break loose from the fatty tissues when they can re-enter the blood stream creating intense mental and physical cravings even though the drug has not been used for some time. This is one of the major reasons for relapse and continued use. Most of Narconon Arrowhead participants report and end to cravings at the end of the detoxification portion of the program accompanied by a marked resurgence in their overall sense of well being
