Narconon Arrowhead Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center Success Story

When I arrived here at Narconon Arrowhead, I had lost all hope in life and myself. I was defeated and living on the streets, smoking crack, being in an abusive relationship brought me so low I felt like I would just rather die. When I was first here at drug rehab I wouldn’t talk to anyone in fear they would hurt me or put me down. I never in a million years imagined I could feel so good. This drug rehab program has given me my life back. In here I have regained myself and my family. I have grown. I have self-esteem and confidence I never before had. I can produce and provide. I have been able to sit down and talk and help others as they have done for me. My body and mind are clean, as is the new life waiting for me out there. I have the ability to make the right decision and stay away from people who are not striving for the same goals. I am here on the earth for a specific reason and I have purpose - I never before believed that. My purpose to live and succeed and help others who will help me survive. I have found out who I really am and it feels good. I am an intelligent, beautiful, funny, talented, caring, honest, respectful, trustworthy, hard working woman, daughter and friend. I am drug-free for the first time in 17 years and wonder why I never realized how good it feels before now. I remember things. I have never laughed so much in my life and all of me and my emotions are genuine. I will never, ever forget what I have been given here at Narconon Arrowhead's drug rehab program. I am a success! I am alive! Thank you! M.R.

Ecstasy Drug and Addiction

Ecstasy Drug
MDMA or "ecstasy" is a Schedule I synthetic, psychoactive drug possessing stimulant and hallucinogenic properties. MDMA possesses chemical variations of the stimulant amphetamine or methamphetamine and a hallucinogen, most often mescaline. MDMA can cause adverse effects including nausea, hallucinations, chills, sweating, increases in body temperature, tremors, involuntary teeth clenching, muscle cramping, and blurred vision. MDMA users also report after-effects of anxiety, paranoia, and depression. An MDMA overdose is characterized by high blood pressure, faintness, panic attacks, and, in more severe cases, loss of consciousness, seizures, and a drastic rise in body temperature. MDMA overdoses can be fatal, as they may result in heart failure or extreme heat stroke.

Rehab Center and Addiction

Rehab Center
A drug or alcohol rehab center could be many different things. It could be a meeting center, a medical facility, a 12 step program. It could be in-patient, or out-patient. It could also be a drug free facility or one which embraces further medication in an attempt to handle current drug effects. If you are looking for a long term residential rehab center whose program is drug free and empowers the individual rather than breaking him down then Narconon Arrowhead is the rehab center you are looking for. Our rehab center is a full service center that handles all aspects of addiction from a mild drug free withdrawal, full detoxification and health building, all the way to an ex-addict who knows he has the abilities, desire, and skills to repair the damage done to self and others. They have also acquired the abilities and outlook needed to pursue a drug free life with vigor and enthusiasm.

 

Relapse Substance Abuse and Addiction

Relapse Substance Abuse
A relapse to substance abuse can occur when the individual has not fully confronted and handled the personal issues leading up and then continuing the substance abuse. Relapse is almost inevitable if there are unhandled cravings, guilt, and depression issues that have not been fully resolved. Relapse is a desire to mask these symptoms with the same substances that helped create them. Getting someone to cease use and through an effective withdrawal process is only the beginning of the puzzle of substance abuse. At Narconon Arrowhead a majority of our staff are past substance abusers themselves and know what it takes to resolve the problems of cravings, guilt, and depression in a manner that lasts. With new skills and abilities learned at Narconon one is able to obtain lasting relief without the need to run away and continually numb themselves with further substances. Happy, drug free, and productive for a lifetime is the goal at Narconon Arrowhead, our 76% success rate speaks for itself.

 

12 Step Program and Addiction

12 Step Program
The 12 step program has been around in various forms since the 1920’s. It basically involves 12 different steps done by the addict or alcoholic in an attempt to gain control over the addiction or alcoholism. There are thousands of local meetings throughout the world whose membership uses the 12 steps as their basic approach. Many of the short term drug rehabs also use the 12 step approach to solving addiction or alcoholism. There is absolutely no doubt that this approach works for some and works well. However, overall success rates tend to be dismally low. For instance AA reports a meager 5-7% retention rate for those attending these meetings. All is not hopeless for you or a loved one who has found a 12 step program not fully handling addiction or alcoholism. There are more non-traditional alternatives available with significantly higher success rates; Narconon Arrowhead is one of these.
