Drug Abuse Treatment Program Success Story

When I came to Narconon I had a strong desire to get and stay sober. I have abused alcohol and drugs my entire adult life. In spite of this I was able to build a dream life for myself and family. In the end, the drugs won. What took 20 years to build was gone in less than two years. After so many rehabs, I had almost given up. In less than six months Narconon has given me back something I never received at any other rehab, strength and hope. I have never not had the desire to use drugs. I have had that desire for my entire memory. I no longer have it. Not only am I free of the effects drugs had on my mind and body. For the first time in my life I actually feel free from drugs. Words cannot express my gratitude. R.P.

Drug Addiction Treatment

Drug Addiction Treatment
Drug addiction treatment to be effective needs to help and guide the individual in confronting and gaining the skills and abilities needed to resolve all areas of their lives – not merely ceasing their drug use which is only the beginning. Personal issues of nutrition and gaining a healthy balance need to be addressed. Issues of cravings, quilt, and depression resulting from addiction need confronted and relieved, legal issues often exist. Broken or strained relationships in the family and workplace need resolved. The issue of how the addict gets on with his life in a drug free and productive manner, and be happy and fulfilled doing so, can be one of the biggest issues of all. Addicts and alcoholics are often quite concerned about being miserable and suffering without the drugs or alcohol. Narconon Arrowhead is an empowering program that assists the individual in resolving each of these situations as well as others he or she may have. We don’t enforce or insist rather we help, guide, and assist the individual in finding their own unique answers that will work and more importantly continue to work for them. This helps insure a continuing drug free life as their solutions are theirs and not something dictated or enforced on them.

Rehabilitation Centers and Addiction

Rehabilitation Centers
Rehabilitation Centers are facilities where the problems of addiction and alcoholism are addressed. Rehabilitation is defined as returning to a previous state or condition or an improved state or condition. With this in mind truly effective and successful rehabilitation centers will address much more that mere cessation of drug or alcohol use, though this is a vital and important starting point. The issues of cravings, guilt, and depression that led up to the addiction and then continued it should be fully confronted and resolved, as well as full detoxification of the body following use cessation. Narconon Arrowhead rehabilitation center fully addresses all these point and many more to ensure the best chances possible for a lifetime of drug free productiveness.

 

Methamphetamine Addiction and Addiction

Methamphetamine Addiction
Methamphetamine comes in many forms and can be smoked, snorted, orally ingested, or injected. The drug alters moods in different ways, depending on how it is taken. Immediately after smoking the drug or injecting it, the user experiences an intense rush or ‘flash’ that lasts only a few minutes. Snorting or oral ingestion produces euphoria -- a high but not an intense rush. As with similar stimulants, methamphetamine most often is used in a ‘binge and crash’ pattern. Because tolerance for methamphetamine occurs within minutes -- meaning that the pleasurable effects disappear even before the drug concentration in the blood falls significantly -- users try to maintain the high by binging on the drug.

 

Crack Cocaine Addiction and Addiction

Crack Cocaine Addiction
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.

 

Drug Treatment and Addiction

Drug Treatment
At Narconon Arrowhead drug treatment does not include further drugs or medications in an attempt to handle already existing drug abuse and addiction problems. Narconon Arrowhead is a drug free, long-term, non-traditional, residential treatment facility. Narconon Arrowhead believes in fully handling the factors of cravings, quilt, and depression. These three factors have been proven over and over again to be the main stumbling blocks in not only ceasing drug addiction but also in achieving a drug free lifetime that lasts for a lifetime. Substituting one substance for another is not a workable answer or a substitute for actually confronting and handling the underlying mental, emotional, and physical reasons that led up to and then continued the addiction.
