Rehab Programs
Rehab programs come in all sorts of flavors and sizes. There is inpatient vs. outpatient, long term vs. short term, drug free vs. drug use, traditional 12 step vs. non-traditional approaches.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, drug free, non-tradition, inpatient facility.
We operate from the viewpoint of results obtained and not time spent.
The individual stays until a drug free productive life is obtained.
Average time is 90-120 days, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. We are drug free and non-traditional in our approach, never considering replacing one drug with another as anything else but foolishness. Many replacement drugs used are more harmful and potentially addictive than the ones they seek to replace. All
rehab programs are not equal, ask questions and insure your loved one is getting what they need to not only get clean, but stay clean.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences.
It is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence with the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the drug or substance is rapidly decreased or terminated.
Heroin
Addiction can be accompanied by extreme physical withdrawal.
The drug quickly breaks down the immune system leaving the user sickly, gaunt, and ultimately dead without treatment.
Heroin and morphine are among the most frequently mentioned drugs in reports of drug-related deaths.
Each alcohol or drug can and does have its own set of side effects; however there are some side effects that are common to any form of addiction.
These can be classed under the broad categories of cravings, guilt and depression.
Cravings are the intense feeling of physical or emotion need for more drugs or alcohol.
Guilt and depression are the inevitable side effects of all the things the individual has done to hurt or harm himself, his family and loved one, friends, associates, and others in general. These feelings along with cravings make it very difficult for the individual to stay away from drugs or alcohol.
As he or she has a very hard time confronting the reality of the harm created, the drugs appear to be the only solution to remove the physical and emotional pain. It is a deadly trap as the drugs are the main contributor to these feelings.
Executive Director of Narconon Arrowhead Gary W. Smith reports, ‘Although the number of people coming to us who are abusing pot is a smaller percentage of our total clientele, in the 30 years I have been in the drug
rehabilitation field I have not seen these numbers of individuals literally hooked on marijuana and unable to stop on their own.
We’ve known for a long time that marijuana use can lead to other drugs but it is shocking to see people whose lives are being destroyed by smoking pot just like others we are treating who are addicted to crack or alcohol.
I believe this is happening because the strength of the pot that is being smoked today is probably ten times stronger than the pot of 20 years ago.’
Effective drug
abuse treatment which can halt the debilitating effects of drug and alcohol
abuse before full blown
addiction sets in is a vital tool in restoring happy productive lives.
Unfortunately many do not think about seeking help until
addiction is in full bloom.
The need for
drug abuse treatment is usually best initiated by loved ones of the abuser.
The abuser often has lots of reasons and justifications for their abuse and won’t really see it as abuse until it is driven home to them.
It is a short drive from
drug abuse to
drug addiction and the lines are often blurred at best.
