Drug Use and Addiction

Drug Use
Drugs are used in an attempt to handle pain, be it emotional or physical or both. The person decides to use a drug or alcohol to reduce discomfort derived from the problem or pain and finds only limited relief but now assigns value to the drug. Thus he returns to the drug or alcohol for more and more use. At best the drugs simply mask the symptoms of emotional or physical pain. As time goes on the drug or alcohol is used more and more and tolerance for the drug increased the quantity needed to achieve the same results. Often before the person is really aware of it he now addicted and craves this relief all the time and will do whatever is necessary to obtain the drug or alcohol. The debilitating effects of the drugs can and do create more and more mental and physical problems and pains which often leads to the use of other addictive drugs in an endless downward spiral.

Inpatient Alcohol Treatment Center and Addiction

Inpatient Alcohol Treatment Center
Alcoholic Anonymous statistics show a retention rate of 5 – 7%. 12 step treatment options definitely work for some but not all by a long ways. Many shorter term inpatient alcohol treatment centers are based on 12 step methodologies and as such often suffer from the same low retention and success rates. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term inpatient alcohol treatment center that used the more effective but less traditional methods of education and empowerment. We do not treat alcoholism as an incurable disease that one is stuck with for life. Our success rates show that when the factors of cravings, guilt and depression are fully confronted and resolved that the need and desire for alcohol, or other substances for that matter, fades into the past as a motivating factor.

 

Addiction and Addiction

Addiction
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 usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence on the abused substance and the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the addictive substance is rapidly decreased or terminated. When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. Many of today’s illegal drugs are extremely addictive as well a many prescription drugs – particularly ones for depression and sleep problems, as well as painkillers.

 

Inpatient Rehabilitation Center and Addiction

Inpatient Rehabilitation Center
An inpatient rehabilitation center, other points being equal, is superior to an outpatient center when it comes to effectively handling substance abuse and addiction. Inpatient is where the client resides at the rehabilitation center as opposed to commuting. One reason it is more effective is simply being able to remove the individual from the environment where the addiction was running out of control. Away from dealers, family and job stresses, and any other triggers. Another reason is being among like minded peers who are seeking real and workable answers. There are of course differences in willingness and desire to achieve a drug free life. At Narconon Arrowhead, which is an inpatient rehabilitation center, we have seen the benefits of one addict truly caring about and assisting another addict to many times to discount this. It is a major benefit of rehabilitation - The ability to help and be helped in return.
