Symptoms of Addiction
One of the main symptoms of
addiction is when the
drug use starts controlling the individual instead of the individual controlling the drug use. In real life there is often a very thin line between drug
abuse and drug addiction. Both include the compulsive seeking and using of drugs despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. In
addiction the addict usually suffers intolerable physical and mental withdrawal when cessation of use is attempted.
The addict has at this point fallen fully into the trap of addiction and will sacrifice almost anyone or anything to satisfy the uncontrollable cravings for the drug or alcohol.
Drug Rehab Information By State
In the field of
addiction treatment a
rehab clinic is generally meant to indicate a short term outpatient
treatment facility.
These can all too often be facilities where an individual receives replacement or supplemental drugs in an attempt to handle their drug or drugs of addiction.
A good example is a methadone clinic.
Methadone is more harmful and more addictive than heroin which it is meant to replace.
One
addiction is being substituted for another. This is not to say all
rehab clinics operate this way or are detrimental. Some offer valid short term options until full
rehabilitation services can be secured. This point of drug substitution is mentioned as a point to watch out for when considering a rehab clinic.
Many people and even professionals hold the opinion that marijuana is not addictive.
This is simply a misunderstanding and not true.
Marijuana addiction, especially on a mental or emotional level has been on the increase in terms of numbers and severity for some time.
The potency of marijuana such as Canadian ‘BC Bud’ and hydroponically engineered pot is many times that of the marijuana of past days. Inability of users to control their use of this substance and Narconon Arrowhead statistics show a steady increase in the number of program participants with marijuana as their main drug of
abuse and addiction.
Relapse all too often in the
rehab community is considered almost inevitable.
This comes from a defeatist mentality after year of failure in addressing the situation.
Relapse CAN be prevented and is not a forgone conclusion. If one fully address and handles cravings, guilt and depression then relapse fades away as a point of concern.
This may sound over-simplified but really isn’t.
Narconon has a 76% success rate and over 40 years experience in handling exactly these factors with a long term, drug free and non-traditional approach to these exact three points. A Narconon Arrowhead we create drug free productive lives for a lifetime.
Alcohol
rehabilitation of course involves the cessation of all alcohol use.
Alcoholic generally have all sorts of reasons and rationale for drinking.
Many, many try to control their drinking and only end up putting off the inevitable.
Alcoholism can only end in one of three ways – death, jail, or sobriety.
There really are no other options.
Many times alcoholics will be involved in other substance abuse, often unknown or unsuspected by family or loved ones. Whether it is alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both, the three factors needing fully and competently addressed are the cravings, guilt, and depression that are hand and hand with any addiction.
