Drug Addiction Treatment Program Success Story

I have waited for this day for a long time. I must say, it has come faster than I expected, probably because I’m not so focused on what’s in my head. Narconon Arrowhead's drug rehab program has given me my inspiration back. I’m really sad to leave all the great staff and friends, but I’m excited to go home and start a new life with my wife and family and share the knowledge I have gained with my community. C.G.

Alcohol Relapse and Addiction

Alcohol Relapse
At Narconon Arrowhead we operate from a firm basis that constant worry about alcohol relapse, picking up again, falling off the wagon, or whatever you choose to call it is not necessary if the drug rehab treatment fully does what it should. We do not believe that alcoholism is an incurable disease that must constantly be worried about. Relapse comes about from unresolved cravings to use, feelings of guilt over what we have done to self, friends, and loves ones; and the depression over all our losses, setbacks, and ruined opportunities that have occurred throughout our drinking lives. When these points are fully handled and resolved one is no longer in need of running to alcohol to drown it all away. When one is winning and happily moving ahead without alcohol then one is able to have an alcohol free and productive lifestyle that lasts.

Drug Substance Abuse and Addiction

Drug Substance Abuse
Abuse occurs when a drug, alcohol, or other substance is used to the detriment of the users health, family relations, finances, career, etc. The detriments may be slight at the beginning of abuse but generally escalates quite quickly into cravings (mental or physical) for the drug, alcohol, or substance. This is followed in short order by a marked rise in feeling of guilt and depression as the individual starts sacrificing quality of life for self and others in the more and more single-minded pursuit of the drugs and alcohol. Once abuse has set it the whole process of addiction picks up speed as does the damage done to health, families, career, etc. The sooner this dwindling spiral is halted and addressed with effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation the better.

 

After Drug Rehab and Addiction

After Drug Rehab
Ideally, what should follow after drug rehab treatment? The cravings to use drugs or alcohol should be fully handled and not constantly recurring. The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program removes the drugs and toxins that have been lodged in the body for years with most participants reporting an end to cravings at this point. The guilt and depression that goes hand and hand with addiction should be addressed and relieved, so as not to constantly haunt the individual. The Narconon life skills segment of the program has several phases that address exactly these points bringing much needed relief and going a long way towards restoring normal relationships and even improving on them. When the factors causing addiction are fully addressed the door is opened to a drug free and productive life.

 

Methadone Addiction and Addiction

Methadone 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.”
