Drug Effects
Each drug of course can and does create its own effects.
With all the substances available today the list of effects can be staggering. There are common denominators to drug
abuse and
addiction however.
Those who start down the path of
addiction begin to accumulate so much damage to their physical and mental selves and their lives that the quality of their lives in general deteriorates. If drug or alcohol
abuse continues unchecked, eventually the person is faced with so many unpleasant circumstances that each sober moment is filled with despair and misery. All this person now wants to do is escape these feelings by medicating them away. This is the downward spiral of addiction.For most addicts, there are only three possible outcomes: sobriety, prison or death.
Drug Rehab Information By State
When considering any form of alcohol
treatment the following elements of
treatment should be looked for in order to insure maximum chance for lasting success without constant reversion or relapse. 1.
A safe, gentle cessation and withdrawal from alcohol use. (Medically supervised as needed)
2.
A full
detoxification of the body to remove metabolites of alcohol or other drugs and toxins from the body.
The Narconon New Life
Detoxification Program achieves this and many report an end to cravings following this action. 3. Life skill training segments to enable the individual to confront and be freed from feelings of guilt and depression that accompany the
alcoholic lifestyle and are very often factors leading up to
alcoholism to begin with. 4. The ability to face the present and effectively plan for tomorrow, including repairing what damage one can. When one is feeling better (physically and mentally) and performing better in life without alcohol than with it, then they will cease to require or crave or need alcohol and have a realistic shot at a happy and productive life and future.
Many programs consider withdrawal from the particular drug of
addiction to be detoxification.
The is only a partial answer and when substitute drugs are given to replace the substance of
abuse this is hardly
detoxification at all and is often simply trading one substance for another, as in the use of some anti-depressants, or drugs like methadone, etc.
Detoxification means to remove drugs, poisons and toxins from the body as fully as possible.
Research clearly indicates that these substances will store in the fatty tissues of the body for months and even years.
This in part accounts for drugged feeling and cravings appearing long after use has ceased. At Narconon Arrowhead we follow up withdrawal from use with the New Life
Detoxification Program. This is state of the art
detoxification embracing nutrition, exercise, and sauna routines to flush the stored drugs and toxins from the body. Many of the people completing this detoxification program report a complete handling and end of drug cravings, with rises in intelligence and ability demonstrated by actual test results.
One of the main symptoms of
addiction is when the
drug use starts controlling the individual instead of the individual controlling the drug use. In real life there is often a very thin line between drug
abuse and drug addiction. Both include the compulsive seeking and using of drugs despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. In
addiction the addict usually suffers intolerable physical and mental withdrawal when cessation of use is attempted.
The addict has at this point fallen fully into the trap of addiction and will sacrifice almost anyone or anything to satisfy the uncontrollable cravings for the drug or alcohol.
Preventing and resolving past problems is one of the key components of the Narconon Arrowhead drug
rehab program.
Most addicts and
alcoholic have an army of past problems following them into
rehab and another mountain of problems to confront when rehab
treatment is completed.
Narconon specializes in helping the individual to attain skills and abilities that will prove vital in confronting and resolving the many life situations that his or her
addiction has brought about.
In fact, in many cases the
addiction itself was the result of mistakenly using drugs or alcohol in an attempt to handle some past problems or upsets.
The drugs quickly added to the problems instead of being the solution hoped for. Real solutions come from increased skills and abilities in confronting and effectively handling life’s challenges.
