Success Story for Drug Rehab

When I first came to Narconon Arrowhead’s Drug Rehab, I was shooting five grams of heroin and had no hope. I had tried numerous Twelve step programs. My parents and probation officer were running out of hope and so was I. This drug rehab program has more than met my expectations, along with those of my parents and parole officer. Every other drug rehab program I’ve been to wanted to load me up with psych meds and mess me up even more. I have finally felt what it is like to be normal. I’ve been off all medications including over-the-counter ones for months. When I came here to this drug rehab, I thought my life was over. Due to the technology here, I have been educated and and have forgotten what being a drug addict felt like. I feel so strong and I like myself again. It has been an amazing experience. M.S.

Addiction Side Effects

Addiction Side Effects
With most drugs there are short term effect, long term effects and addiction side effects which would actually be long term effects resulting from abusive use of illegal drugs and addiction to prescription drugs that can occur even at what is commonly considered ‘safe’ levels. Anti-depressants are a case in point. Many of these legal medications have serious side effects including increased violent behavior as well as suicidal ideation when taken at prescribed levels, especially in youth. Add in the fact that many of these drugs are taken at abusive non-prescribed levels as well as mixed with other prescription drugs and illegal street drugs. With the current trends in abuse and addiction inpatient medically supervised withdrawal is vital in most cases of addiction treatment.

Methamphetamine Addiction and Addiction

Methamphetamine Addiction
Addiction is a chronic, relapsing condition, characterized by compulsive drug-seeking and drug use which is accompanied by functional and molecular changes in the brain. In addition to being addicted to methamphetamine, chronic methamphetamine abusers exhibit symptoms that can include violent behavior, anxiety, confusion, and insomnia. They also can display a number of psychotic features, including paranoia, auditory hallucinations, mood disturbances, and delusions. The paranoia can result in homicidal as well as suicidal thoughts. With chronic use, tolerance for methamphetamine can develop. Users may take higher doses of the drug, take it more frequently, or change their method of drug intake. In some cases, abusers forego food and sleep while injecting as much as a gram of the drug every 2 to 3 hours over several days until the user runs out of the drug or is too disorganized to continue. Chronic abuse can lead to psychotic behavior, characterized by intense paranoia, visual and auditory hallucinations, and out-of-control rages that can be coupled with extremely violent behavior.

Drug Addiction Rehab
What makes Narconon unique as a drug addiction rehab facility? First and foremost Narconon is primarily staffed by former addicts who have gone on to become trained as addiction recovery specialists. Our staff has ‘been there and done that’. We know full well what it takes to overcome the cravings, the guilt, and the depression. These are the key points in creating and then continuing addiction, and are also the key points that need fully and completely addressed if one is to create a drug free productive life. This factor of caring compassionate staff who have been there themselves should not be ignored. Nobody knows what an addict is going through and what it takes for full recovery like an ex-addict who has been through it themselves.

 

Drug Rehab for Young Adults and Addiction

Drug Rehab for Young Adults
Drug rehab for young adults can sometimes present unique but fully resolvable issues to be addressed. Young adults can often the life experience which would serve to drive home the seriousness of their situation. They often times have little or no experience at being fully independent and responsible. Many still have very close financial ties to family, and as such may not have yet felt the full impact of their addiction. The rebelliousness of youth has often not fully play out and can get very irrational indeed when coupled with drug addiction. Addiction always involves cravings and feeling of guilt and depression whether the individual is fully aware of it or not. Narconon Arrowhead is fully aware of the particular factors related to age when entering rehab. Our personalized approach is able to achieve results that last, regardless of age or life experience.

 

Addiction - Abuse and Addiction

Addiction - Abuse
Drug abuse occurs with any use of illegal substances and also occurs when prescription drugs are taken in excess of recommended dosages or for longer than prescribed. Addiction is the inevitable next step forward if drug abuse is not handled. Addiction is the compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. At this point the abuse of drugs goes beyond just impacting the individual and is severely impacting family, loved ones, finances and careers. When the individual moves from abuse to addiction the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
