Opium Addiction and Addiction

Opium Addiction
Opium addiction has a long history. It was a problem in the 1850’s when morphine was developed as a non-addictive substitute. Morphine was soon a bigger addiction problem than opium. The morphine problem was ‘solved’ with another opium derivative – Heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than either morphine or opium. In the middle and latter parts of the 20th century along come methadone as the cure for heroin. You guessed it, methadone is stronger, more addictive, and more life threatening than any of the opium derivatives that came before it. Ask any methadone addict, or addiction professional dealing with methadone addiction and withdrawal. By the 1990’s the mortality rate from opium derivatives was estimated to be 20 times greater than the general population.

Inpatient Rehab and Addiction

Inpatient Rehab
For those needing extended care for an out of control addiction problem an inpatient rehab is the only real option for a number of reasons. Most addicts will find it next to impossible to refrain from drug use when remaining in their usual environments. The temptations and ready availability of the substances serve to make this attempt a losing proposition. An inpatient rehab, especially a long term one, serves as a safe a secure environment where one is able to confront the cravings, guilt and depression of addiction in a caring and compassionate atmosphere of mutual understanding and assistance.

 

Rehab Center and Addiction

Rehab Center
Rehab centers play a key role in addiction recovery for many, many addicts and alcoholics. For many individuals a rehab center offers a break from their normal environments where use and addiction has become the norm for them. The amount of care, compassion, understanding, and persistence needed to affect a true and lasting recovery is often only available in a residential rehab center. To create true healing one must first get away from the source of injury, pain, upset and apathy and the rehab center offers the drug free environment in which to do so.

 

Preventing Problems and Addiction

Preventing Problems
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.
