Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program – Success Story
I have completed the Narconon Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program! I feel so wonderful. I came here a broken spirit, not knowing who I was, what I wanted or where I was going. Through doing this inpatient drug rehab program, I found who I really am. I know who I am and I love the woman I realize I have become. I know what I want, which is to live drug-free, happy and free. I know where I am going. I am going to live a life which is productive, happy, healthy and drug-free. I will travel down this road forever. I have broken the grasp that the streets and drugs had on me. I am no longer enslaved, but free, like a baby bird. It is now time for me to spread my wings and fly! It is time for me to soar! Life is good! T.S.
Alcohol Abuse
Any
treatment for
addiction usually includes handling alcohol abuse.
There is of course
alcoholism itself, which is simply the name given to alcohol addiction.
In addition to this, statistics at Narconon Arrowhead show that alcohol
abuse quite often accompanies other drug
addictions and must be handled as well.
The idea that one can quit his drug of choice but still
abuse alcohol is a dangerous idea.
As drugs or alcohol are generally used as crutches for painful situations (mental or physical) in ones life, substituting one drug for another (including alcohol) can be seen as no solution at all. Effective handling of alcohol abuse, or any other substance abuse, involves confronting and controlling those life situations that are creating the need or desire to escape through alcohol or drugs. When one can be more comfortable in life without drugs or alcohol than with them, then the need or desire for them will cease.
Drug Rehab Information By State
An effective
addiction recovery program should be much more than just withdrawal or a few meetings.
A truly effective
addiction recovery program will be a series of actions or steps, done in the correct sequence, each of which would full handle a particular aspect of addiction.
All of the steps or actions added together should add up to a drug free productive life that lasts and is not subject to constant reversion or relapse.
Three of the main factors needing resolved are cravings, guilt, and depression.
These are quite often the factors that not only lead up to addiction, but then continue it despite the addict’s best efforts at staying clean. Narconon Arrowhead is a comprehensive
addiction recovery program whose state purpose is not only
drug use cessation but a drug free productive life for our program participants.
Many will try and assert that there is no
addiction cure.
Usually this is coming from so-called experts who meaning well, have yet seen little or no long term solutions to the problem of
addiction and so have labeled it an incurable disease.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite social, mental, and physical consequences.
It is an attempt to use the drugs or alcohol to solve life’s problems, with the solution becoming the problem. The cure is the handling of ALL the elements that have lead up to drug
abuse and addiction and then continued it – cravings, guilt, and depression playing major roles. It is not just cessation of drug use. It involves the acquiring of a whole array of life skills so that life’s problems can be confronted and one can live life happily and productively – drug free.
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.
As an opiate, regular use of methadone causes physical dependency - if you've been using it regularly (prescribed or not) once you stop you will experience a withdrawal. The physical changes due to the drug are similar to other opiates (like heroin). If you are a woman using methadone you may not have regular periods - but you are still able to conceive. Methadone is a long-acting opioid; it has an effect for up to 36 hours (if you are using methadone you will not withdraw for this period) A Personal story of methadone withdrawal:
“I've been on both ends of withdrawals, heroin and methadone, every patient of methadone will always tell you the same, as I do; I can kick heroin anytime, but methadone that is something else. In 15 yrs of heroin addiction, I've kicked 3 times, 'cold-turkey'. In 10 years on methadone I've never kicked methadone.”
