Rehab Hospital
A short stay in a
rehab hospital is sometimes and important and vital beginning to the drug
rehabilitation process.
This is not required in all cases by a long ways.
However some extreme cases of
alcoholism as well as some cases of prescription drug
abuse necessitate very close medical supervision.
These substances can present life threatening side affects is use is ceased cold turkey.
This is quite different from randomly giving out substitute drugs because someone is uncomfortable or fearful. This should be evaluated by competent medical professionals who are thoroughly familiar with the
treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Most addicts do well with a drug free withdrawal process, while a small percentage are going to require a medically supervised step down at a
rehab hospital.
Drug Rehab Information By State
If we understand
rehabilitation as restoring someone or something to a previous or improved state, then we can get a good idea of what should occur at a drug
addiction rehab. A truly effective drug or alcohol
addiction rehab does much, much more than simply get someone off drugs.
The assist the individual in locating and handling the barriers to continued sobriety.
The barriers of cravings (mental and physical), guilt created and felt that is hard to live with, and depression as the result of the addictive lifestyle are the barriers that left unhandled, leave the entire subject of addiction unhandled.
With these points fully handled and addressed one can achieve lasting sobriety, with unhandled the only other choices are death or jail.
This is the reality of addiction no matter how harsh it may sound.
When considering any form of alcohol
treatment the following elements of
treatment should be looked for in order to insure maximum chance for lasting success without constant reversion or relapse. 1.
A safe, gentle cessation and withdrawal from alcohol use. (Medically supervised as needed)
2.
A full
detoxification of the body to remove metabolites of alcohol or other drugs and toxins from the body.
The Narconon New Life
Detoxification Program achieves this and many report an end to cravings following this action. 3. Life skill training segments to enable the individual to confront and be freed from feelings of guilt and depression that accompany the
alcoholic lifestyle and are very often factors leading up to
alcoholism to begin with. 4. The ability to face the present and effectively plan for tomorrow, including repairing what damage one can. When one is feeling better (physically and mentally) and performing better in life without alcohol than with it, then they will cease to require or crave or need alcohol and have a realistic shot at a happy and productive life and future.
Drugs effects can and do vary depending on the drug (more often drugs) being abused or addicted to. All create devastating effects on health, families and careers.
There are however 3 common denominators among drug and alcohol
abuse and addiction. First are cravings and the often uncontrollable urge to use again.
Second is the feeling of guilt resulting from the addictive lifestyle and the untold harm created for self, family, friends, and society in general.
Third is the depression that inevitably results from destroyed lives, hopes and dreams.
These three points left unhandled are the cause of any future relapse. If the drug
rehab you are considering doesn’t fully address these three points, find another one!
At Narconon Arrowhead we operate from a firm basis that constant worry about alcohol relapse, picking up again, falling off the wagon, or whatever you choose to call it is not necessary if the drug
rehab treatment fully does what it should.
We do not believe that
alcoholism is an incurable disease that must constantly be worried about.
Relapse comes about from unresolved cravings to use, feelings of guilt over what we have done to self, friends, and loves ones; and the depression over all our losses, setbacks, and ruined opportunities that have occurred throughout our drinking lives.
When these points are fully handled and resolved one is no longer in need of running to alcohol to drown it all away.
When one is winning and happily moving ahead without alcohol then one is able to have an alcohol free and productive lifestyle that lasts.
