Addiction Rehab
Rehabilitate means to return to a previous condition or an improvement of even that.
An
addiction rehab that is truly effective will bypass restoring the individual to a previous condition and go straight for an improvement of even that.
The reasoning is relatively simple.
The previous condition obviously contributed to and led up to the drug
abuse and
addiction to begin with.
If one is trying to insure a drug free productive condition that will last a lifetime than one better locate, address, and fully resolve those past factors that contributed to and let up to the addiction initially and then kept it going.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional, inpatient drug
treatment center.
What this means is that alcoholics or addicts come and reside at Narconon Arrowhead for the duration of their treatment.
This is a self-paced program and is governed by results rather than a set number of days in treatment. A good average is generally 90 -120 days.
Non traditional refers to the fact that we do not treat
addiction or
alcoholism as incurable diseases.
Addiction and
alcoholism can be beaten for a lifetime, and without constant worry about relapse or reversion. We work on the assumption of the basic goodness of the individual and their desire to create a drug and alcohol free lifestyle. Our inpatient drug
treatment center assists the individual to confront, and resolve all life situations needing addressed and so remove the need to run from them with drugs or alcohol.
Many will try and assert that there is no
addiction cure.
Usually this is coming from so-called experts who meaning well, have yet seen little or no long term solutions to the problem of
addiction and so have labeled it an incurable disease.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite social, mental, and physical consequences.
It is an attempt to use the drugs or alcohol to solve life’s problems, with the solution becoming the problem. The cure is the handling of ALL the elements that have lead up to drug
abuse and addiction and then continued it – cravings, guilt, and depression playing major roles. It is not just cessation of drug use. It involves the acquiring of a whole array of life skills so that life’s problems can be confronted and one can live life happily and productively – drug free.
Any
treatment for
addiction usually includes handling alcohol abuse.
There is of course
alcoholism itself, which is simply the name given to alcohol addiction.
In addition to this, statistics at Narconon Arrowhead show that alcohol
abuse quite often accompanies other drug
addictions and must be handled as well.
The idea that one can quit his drug of choice but still
abuse alcohol is a dangerous idea.
As drugs or alcohol are generally used as crutches for painful situations (mental or physical) in ones life, substituting one drug for another (including alcohol) can be seen as no solution at all. Effective handling of alcohol abuse, or any other substance abuse, involves confronting and controlling those life situations that are creating the need or desire to escape through alcohol or drugs. When one can be more comfortable in life without drugs or alcohol than with them, then the need or desire for them will cease.
As you search for a
treatment center for yourself or loved one look for actual tangible results, not just ‘x’ amount of days spent there with little or no results.
Also look for all the services you feel will be needed.
There is much more to drug
rehabilitation than a couple of weeks spent without using!
Are medical and nutritional needs being met?
Is there a full
detoxification of the body available or is it just withdrawal? Are the issues of cravings, quilt, and depression being fully confronted and resolved? Is legal assistance available if needed? Are services available to help repair and reestablish relationships and careers? Are services available to the families of the addict as well to help them better understand and deal with the process of rehabilitation? After all,
addiction affects more than the addict. Are skills and abilities being learned to assist the individual in achieving a drug free and productive life that lasts for a lifetime? With the highest long term success rate in the industry Narconon Arrowhead can and does proudly answer yes to all of the above and many more.
