Drug Alcohol Rehab - Success Story

I am very pleased at what I have learned in this drug rehab program and how many wins and gains I have achieved. I feel like an entirely new person, possibly like the one I was before I got lost and sucked into the world of drug addiction. I am very grateful and appreciative of the staff here for helping me get my life back. J.Z.

Relapse Treatment

Relapse Treatment
Relapse treatment is best affected before the relapse occurs and not after. After so many losses in this area many addiction professionals feel relapse is often inevitable and needs to be planned for. This is a defeatist mentality. There are solutions to the problems of relapse over and over in an endless cycle of pain and misery. With over 40 years of experience and a 76% success rate Narconon knows the answers to relapse prevention as opposed to relapse treatment. We are a long term facility which fully addresses the three causes of continued addiction, once these hare handled relapse and worry about it just fade away.

Drug Side Effects and Addiction

Drug Side Effects
In many cases addiction could be considered a side effect of drug use at abusive levels. No one intends to become an addict. Addiction begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain for a person. This person is, like most people in our society, basically good. But he encounters a problem that is causing him physical or emotional pain and discomfort and for which he does not have an immediate answer. Perhaps, as a child or teenager, he has difficulty “fitting in.” Or maybe there are physical injuries such as a broken bone, a bad back or some other chronic physical condition, or the person has suffered intolerable losses in life.

 

Inpatient Drug Treatment Center and Addiction

Inpatient Drug Treatment Center
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional, inpatient drug treatment center. What this means is that alcoholics or addicts come and reside at Narconon Arrowhead for the duration of their treatment. This is a self-paced program and is governed by results rather than a set number of days in treatment. A good average is generally 90 -120 days. Non traditional refers to the fact that we do not treat addiction or alcoholism as incurable diseases. Addiction and alcoholism can be beaten for a lifetime, and without constant worry about relapse or reversion. We work on the assumption of the basic goodness of the individual and their desire to create a drug and alcohol free lifestyle. Our inpatient drug treatment center assists the individual to confront, and resolve all life situations needing addressed and so remove the need to run from them with drugs or alcohol.

 

Drug – Marijuana and Addiction

Drug – Marijuana
Marijuana is to most commonly used illegal drug in the world. Marijuana contains more than 400 different toxins and cancer causing chemicals. During the 1970’s researched uncovered the fact that marijuana’s active ingredient ‘THC’ lodged in the fatty tissues of the body for months and years. This puts the person that smokes two or three joints a week constantly under the influence of the drug. Next to alcohol, marijuana is the second most frequently found substance in the bodies of drivers involved in fatal automobile accidents. With stronger and stronger strains of marijuana hitting the streets it is no wonder that more and more individuals are seeking treatment for marijuana addiction.

 

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
Heroin addiction, as with any of the opium derivatives, creates a severe physical/mental dependency. With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more and more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. With heroin addiction the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in heroin addiction may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘cold turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Narconon Arrowheads unique approach to withdrawal keeps these symptoms to a minimum and by actual report sometimes totally removes these symptoms.
