Drug Alcohol Addiction Rehabilitation Success Story

This drug rehab program has really made a change in my life. I wasted 52 months in a Texas prison and too many other months to a lifelong addition to coke, meth or whatever I could get in a syringe, not counting pot and alcohol. I tried three Twelve step drug rehab programs in the ‘90s plus a couple of other drug rehabs and was never able to stay clean for any length of time. I’ve been clean now for almost 100 days and I’m no longer a drug addict. I’ve been calling myself an addict for more than twenty years. I know now that I don’t have a disease. I was just making the wrong choices. Now, for the first time, in more than 28 years, I know I have gained the knowledge to finally help myself make the right choices in life. Those choices are not to get high. I can now be a father to my son and hopefully find someone that wants to live with a normal man instead of a dopehead. M.A.

Inpatient Alcohol Rehab and Addiction

Inpatient Alcohol Rehab
As with drug rehab for other substance addictions Alcoholism is best served by an inpatient drug rehab. There are many factors needing addressed other that the alcohol abuse. Primary among these are the cravings, guilt and depression that so often are the key factors leading up to and then continuing alcohol abuse and addiction. At Narconon Arrowhead we find this is best achieved in a residential setting which allows the individual to confront all the issues needing handled in a safe and secure environment, away from the distractions and temptations of the individuals usual environment. Unless the goal is simply to dry out, the best option and chances of handling alcoholism lie in an inpatient alcohol rehab.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Treatment Center and Addiction

Inpatient Rehabilitation Treatment Center
An inpatient rehabilitation treatment center is generally the way to go for effective treatment of severe drug abuse or any form of addiction. This is not to say the outpatient does not have a use, as it does in cases of light abuse where the individual still maintains control of life and situations to an extent. In the main however, addiction by its very nature implies an inability to control use and by extension inability to handle life situations that led up to and are contributing factors in continuing addiction. With its use of close supervision and removal from dangerous environments the inpatient rehabilitation treatment center provides superior chances of achieving a drug free lifestyle.

 

Abuse Alcohol and Addiction

Abuse Alcohol
Any talk of drug addiction or drug treatment must include those who abuse alcohol. Alcohol acts as any other drug or toxin. A small amount is a stimulant, a larger amount acts as a depressant, and given enough it can and will kill you dead. Alcohol addiction acts as any other addiction; we simply give it its own name – alcoholism. Helping those who abuse alcohol involves cessation of use and withdrawal (often requiring close medical supervision in an alcoholics case), a full and complete detoxification of the body, followed by life skills to confront, deal with and effectively remove the cravings, guilt and depression that goes hand in hand with those who heavily abuse alcohol.

 

Prescription Drugs and Addiction

Prescription Drugs
Drugs, including prescription drugs, are essentially poisons. The amount taken determines the effect. A small amount acts as a stimulant, a greater amount acts as a sedative, and an even larger amount acts as a poison and can kill. This is true of any drug, including prescription drugs. Only the amount needed to achieve the desired result differs. Prescription drugs along with illegal drugs block off all sensations, the desirable ones with the unwanted. They may of short term value in handling pain, but they also work to wipe out ability, alertness, and muddy one’s thinking.
