If recovery means to return to a normal or improved state following a setback or loss then there is much more to drug recovery than just ceasing to use drugs or alcohol. Recovery means to confront and resolve the factors that lead to the drug or alcohol problem to begin with as well as acquiring tools and skills to allow one to move forward in a drug free productive life with constant fear of relapse. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional approach to the problems of drug recovery. Our drug recovery program addresses ALL factors necessary for full recovery from handlings of mental and physical cravings, to a resolution of the guilt and depression that goes hand in hand in leading up to and then continuing addiction or alcoholism.

Addictions can be classified by a condition of repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. Addictions is probably a more correct use of the term addiction as most individuals entering addiction treatment generally have more than one substance of abuse, beyond their primary one. The strength, potency, and wide types of drugs and substances on the scene today make these addictions the plague of the modern world. There are only three possible outcomes for these addictions; jail, death, or sobriety, ultimately the addict must choose.

When searching for an effective rehab program one can be flooded and confused with all the different options. How does one sort through this myriad of choices? The starting point should be experience and success rates. Does the rehab program you are considering have a track record of success for a period of years? If it’s not stated, ask. The goal is a drug free and productive lifestyle that lasts for a lifetime, not merely stopping drug use. Narconon Arrowhead has over 40 years of experience with a success rate often exceeding 70%. This is compared to average of 5-15% for many of the more traditional rehab programs. Whether Narconon Arrowhead is your choice or not, look for and insist on experience, effectiveness, and success rates.

Substance abuse generally starts with an attempt to handle pain. This could me mental or physical pain and does not necessarily need to be great. A teenager uses drugs for the first time and finds they helped with shyness and so uses them more and more often, as a false solution to the pains of adolescence. A mother finds relief from family stress with anti-depressants and so continues their use and even increases the dosages. Physical pain is relieved with prescription painkillers and so they are continued more and more frequently. All of these substances have their own particular side-effects which create new situations and new sources of mental and physical pain, and so other substances are now used in an attempt to handle these new pains. Thus most of those entering substance abuse treatment find themselves having problems with not just one substance but multiple substances. Narconon Arrowhead aids the individual in confronting and resolving the use of these substances as well as dealing with the underlying mental and physical pains which resulted in the original and now continued abuse.
