Rehab Hospitals
Generally speaking,
rehab hospitals are short term programs dealing primarily with medically safe withdrawal from drug or alcohol.
Extreme
alcoholism as well as some drugs, especially prescription drugs, have life threatening side affects from stopping use cold turkey and need to be medically supervised.
Most stays in
rehab hospitals then need to be followed up with a comprehensive
drug rehab program to address the cravings, guilt and depression that often exist in almost unbearable quantities.
Without out handling these
three factors following medical handlings relapse can almost be assured as one is not yet in a position to live a drug free and productive life.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Addiction intervention refers to an action undertaken in order to change what is happening or might happen concerning another’s addiction, especially in order to prevent something undesirable.
Many addicts are so oblivious to the effects they are creating on themselves, their health, their loved ones and co-workers that it takes serious intervention in order to get through to them the need that they get help NOW.
In most cases it is not that they don’t care, though it may appear this way, but they are simply not aware of what is happening to them and around them. At Narconon Arrowhead we have intake counselors who can guide you on the type of intervention needed at any given point in the process of getting a loved one into rehab.
We have been there and know what it takes and the best way to go about it
Researching and choosing the best drug
rehab is a daunting task at best.
There is long-term, short-term, traditional, non-traditional, inpatient, outpatient, etc... Understanding
rehabilitation as restoring something or someone to a previous condition helps in sorting out the various forms of drug rehab.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long-term, non-traditional drug rehab.
We specialize in creating drug free productive lives, not someone who has simply stopped drug or alcohol use for the moment.
Effective drug
rehab should involve the full and complete handling of the three factors that lay behind continued
drug use and numerous relapses. First are mental and physical cravings for drugs or alcohol. Second and third are guilt and depression resulting from the situations and circumstances of our addiction, as well as various forms of these three that led up to initial drug and alcohol use to begin with. There is more to
drug rehab than simply ceasing drug or alcohol use.
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.
How does one go about determining when
drug use crosses the line into drug
abuse and addiction?
Drugs are used as a solution to pain, be it mental, emotional, or physical.
Fore instance one takes a painkiller and physical pain subsides or one take a street drug and the emotional pain of feeling like an outsider goes away.
There are many motivations but they all come under the heading of handling pain in one way or another.
Drug
abuse sets in when the drug is being used more and more to mask and cover up the pain rather than addressing the actual causes of the pain itself. From abuse one quickly moves on to
addiction where tolerance to the drugs builds up to the point where the individual can’t conceive of life without them for fear of unbearable pain of one type or another. Ones life then becomes centered on acquiring and using more and more drugs at any cost or sacrifice. Along with this comes all the cravings, guilt and depression that results from harm done to self, family, loved ones, careers, etc.
