Addiction Effects
The effects of
addiction of course impact the addict himself, of which he or she is usually painfully aware. Deterioration of health, loss of energy and drive, and uncontrollable cravings for drugs or alcohol are just a few of these.
The effects created on friends and family can be just as devastating but are generally less well known to the addict.
The reason for this is that drugs and alcohol reduce awareness of the environment more and more as
addiction continues.
The cravings, guilt and depression that go hand in hand with
drug addiction are the reasons for continued use and relapse. The addict or alcohol usually is not malicious in terms of the damage caused to family and loved ones, he or she is simply not fully aware of the effects being created.
There world is centered on obtaining and using more and more drugs and alcohol.

When we say
addiction treatments it implies more than one, and so it is.
If we define
treatment per the Encarta dictionary as ‘the particular way somebody or something is dealt with or handled’, we can see that there are usually various ways to achieve this.
When it comes to the many
addiction treatments available one can be overwhelmed with all the options.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term and non-traditional approach to solving addiction.
What this means is that Narconon methodologies do not use the disease approach to addiction where one is considered ‘sick’ or ‘ill’ for a lifetime. Narconon is an empowering approach where we assist the individual to fully confront and handle the mental and physical cravings, guilt and depression that are the actual sources for drug and alcohol addiction.
Substance
abuse treatment on any type begins to be more and more effective as the addict or
alcoholic becomes more and more willing to be helped and to help themselves.
Most interventions prior to
treatment have this goal in mind, to get at least some willingness on the part of the addict.
This willingness is often tenuous and fleeting at the start of substance
abuse treatment.
Part of effective withdrawal would be the actions taken to extrovert the addict from current pains and discomforts that can and do play havoc with any willingness.
At Narconon Arrowhead our
substance abuse treatment continually involves fortifying the existing willingness of the participant as well as actions designed to increase willingness all along the way. The being himself always is seeking to do better and beat the
addiction despite any appearances, statements, or actions to the contrary. The more the addict wins at the battles of
addiction the more willing he becomes and the more energy he will expend on his own survival. Substance abuse treatment is about much more than simply ceasing drug or alcohol use.
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.
The chemical cocaine hydrochloride is commonly known as cocaine. Some users chemically process cocaine in order to remove the hydrochloride. This process is called ‘freebasing’ and makes the drug more potent. ‘Crack’ is a solid form of freebased cocaine. It is called ‘crack’ because it snaps and cracks when heated and smoked.
Traditionally, cocaine was a rich man's drug, due to the large expense of a cocaine habit. Now, crack is being sold at prices low enough that even adolescents can afford to buy it. But, this is misleading, since once a person has a crack cocaine addiction, his ‘habit’ often increases, and so does his expense.
