Success Story from our Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Program
It has been almost four months to the day that I came here from medical detox to Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab Center. Wow, that is how much of a mess I had made of myself! In four short months this drug rehab program has given me my life back. It has given my father his daughter, my brothers their sister, and most of all, my son his mother! My mind, my body and my sense of purpose are strong once again. Every step in this drug rehab program has done what it was designed to do. It showed me how with confidence I can live a happy, fulfilled, drug-free life. J.T.
Chemical Dependency
Per the Encarta dictionary
chemical dependency is
addiction to a chemical substance or drug.
Dependency can be further defined as the mental or physical need to use a drug or other substance regularly, despite the fact that they are likely to have a damaging effect.
Chemical dependency knows no educational, class, race, or social bounds.
Most
chemical dependency starts out as an attempt to handle some sort of physical or emotional problem.
Some do offer small relief in the short term. The problem enters as more and more use occurs. The very problems originally trying to be solved are now being perpetuated and amplified by the drug use. The individual can not confront perceived pain (emotional or physical) that he feels will come from not using.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Most addicts or alcoholics and confronted with multiple factors when it comes to effective drug treatments. One of the first
drug treatments is of course a safe cessation of
drug use and as gentle a withdrawal from actual use as possible.
Another one of the
drug treatments is effective
detoxification and removal of the actual drug and toxins from the body.
This alleviates and in many cases totally removes the cravings which can lead to relapse.
Some programs consider the addict ‘detoxed’ once withdrawal is accomplished.
At Narconon Arrowhead we deliver the New Life
Detoxification Program in addition to withdrawal services. This is a unique and state of the art program which actually removes stored drugs and toxins from the body. There is a definite difference between withdrawal and a full detoxification.
Addiction withdrawal is the term applied to the process of terminating or ceasing the use of the drug or alcohol causing the addiction.
Withdrawal symptoms are those physical, mental, and emotional discomforts occurring as a result of this process.
Some procedures attempt to ease withdrawal with the use of additional drugs or chemicals. This can and does complicate the process as now there are new substances that are creating dependencies along with the intense cravings for the original drug of addiction. In most cases withdrawal can be accomplished with adequate medical monitoring and proper nutrition.
Drugs severely deplete vitamin and nutritional stores in the body and when properly addressed will reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms without the dangers of using additional drugs.
An inpatient
rehab is a drug
rehab facility where the clients actually reside at the facility for the duration of their
treatment programs.
This could be for a few days for a withdrawal program, a few days for the shorter programs or 28 day 12 step types of drug rehab.
It all depends on the extent and types of services being provided by that particular inpatient rehab.
Narconon Arrowhead is an inpatient rehab.
Further we are classified as a non-traditional and long term inpatient rehab. Long term can be a bit confusing. At Narconon Arrowhead we operate off of results obtained and not time spent. We are interested in
rehabilitation for the individual that last a lifetime. An average of time spent on our program would be 90-120 days. Some take less and some take more, but the ruling viewpoint is as long as it takes to get results for that particular addict or alcoholic.
A short stay in a
rehab hospital is sometimes and important and vital beginning to the drug
rehabilitation process.
This is not required in all cases by a long ways.
However some extreme cases of
alcoholism as well as some cases of prescription drug
abuse necessitate very close medical supervision.
These substances can present life threatening side affects is use is ceased cold turkey.
This is quite different from randomly giving out substitute drugs because someone is uncomfortable or fearful. This should be evaluated by competent medical professionals who are thoroughly familiar with the
treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Most addicts do well with a drug free withdrawal process, while a small percentage are going to require a medically supervised step down at a
rehab hospital.
