Drug Rehab Program Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead

When I first came through the doors of Narconon Arrowhead drug and alcohol treatment center, I wasn’t a bit sure what to expect. I had no idea what I was even doing here or needed to get from the program. I came here all alone and wondering. The past four months have had their ups and downs for me. But my ups have continually been higher and my lows never seemed to go as low each time. I’m to the point now where my highs are constantly very high and my lows don’t exist. I’m sure I now know the answers to all my questions. I’m now leaving the drug rehab program through the same doors I entered. This time, however, I’m not at all wondering. I’m very sure and have a sense of purpose and I know I will remain drug-free, now. M.S.

Alcohol Rehab and Addiction

Alcohol Rehab
Alcohol rehab means to restore the individual to the condition they were in prior to the alcoholism and preferably an improved condition. Accompanying any alcoholism are cravings, guilt, and depression which must be confronted and fully resolved in order to achieve a lasting alcohol free lifestyle. With alcoholism the only other options to sobriety are death or jail. The last two need not occur with a competent alcohol rehab program that fully resolves the above three factors.

Drug and Alcohol Rehab and Addiction

Drug and Alcohol Rehab
One of the key points in looking for a drug and alcohol rehab lies in understanding rehabilitation. The work actually means to return someone or something to a previous state or condition or an improvement of a previous condition. At Narconon Arrowhead we rehabilitate the individual to a previous condition that has actually been vastly improved. As previous conditions and situations are what led to addiction it hardly makes sense to return somebody to that without marked improvement. Narconon drug and alcohol rehab is not interested in having someone stop using only to have continuing cravings, guilt, and depression as this is the sure road to continued use and relapse. These points are all fully handled so the individual is capable of a new and improved drug free productive life that lasts a lifetime.

 

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.”

 

Substance Abuse Treatment and Addiction

Substance Abuse Treatment
Substance abuse treatment on any type begins to be more and more effective as the addict or alcoholic becomes more and more willing to be helped and to help themselves. Most interventions prior to treatment have this goal in mind, to get at least some willingness on the part of the addict. This willingness is often tenuous and fleeting at the start of substance abuse treatment. Part of effective withdrawal would be the actions taken to extrovert the addict from current pains and discomforts that can and do play havoc with any willingness. At Narconon Arrowhead our substance abuse treatment continually involves fortifying the existing willingness of the participant as well as actions designed to increase willingness all along the way. The being himself always is seeking to do better and beat the addiction despite any appearances, statements, or actions to the contrary. The more the addict wins at the battles of addiction the more willing he becomes and the more energy he will expend on his own survival. Substance abuse treatment is about much more than simply ceasing drug or alcohol use.
