Substance Abuse Costs Lives Every Year in Rhode Island
Substance abuse is the nation’s number one health-related problem and the effects can be seen in Rhode Island. 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.
Most addiction treatment centers have a limited success rate, where the majority of the clients relapse. This is not the case with Narconon Arrowhead. In fact, approximately 70% of the graduates of our drug and alcohol rehab remain drug free.

Drug Rehab Information By State
All drug
rehab programs are not created equal; there are many different types and formats. There are long term, short term, in-patient, out-patient, traditional 12 step, and non traditional to name but a few.
One big difference to be aware of is whether or not the drug
rehab programs you may be looking at are drug free or whether the program embraces the use of other or substitute or additional drugs and ‘medications’ in an effort to control or alleviate addiction. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non traditional, drug free approach to the problems of
abuse and addiction.
These points set us apart from many of the other
drug rehab programs available. We start with the assumption that the being is basically good and despite any appearances to the contrary actually wants to attain a completely drug free productive life.
The Narconon program embraces many, many different factors that stop or inhibit the individual from reaching this goal. The majority of Narconon staff are ex-addicts and alcoholics themselves and know what it takes to get lasting results – we’ve been there!
When examining the various
drug rehab programs look for one thing – LASTING results and success.
Drug Rehab Information By City
This is a broad general view of
addiction as different substances create different symptoms and effects on the individual and often
addiction is to more than one substance.
Addiction generally is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by physiological and physical dependence with the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the drug or alcohol is rapidly decreased or terminated.
When addiction
exists, the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
Heroin is a highly addictive illegal drug. During the 1800’s opium
addiction was a major problem in the U.S.
Morphine was developed as supposedly a non-addictive substitute for opium but proved to be even more addictive.
The same is true of Heroin which was a supposedly non addictive replacement for morphine, but again is actually more addictive than opium or morphine.
In more modern times we know have methadone as a supposed ‘solution’ to heroin addiction.
Methadone is even more addictive than heroin. If withdrawal from heroin can be gruesome and harrowing, then methadone is even worse and can be life- threatening if unsupervised.
There are various web pages to be found on our website covering drug facts. Each drug has its own effects and side effects. Each can present unique issues to be addressed in the process of rehabilitation.
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 will occur with any
addiction no matter the drug or alcohol. To create a drug free life that last a lifetime these three points must be fully addressed and relieved for any lasting sobriety.
