Addiction Treatments and Addiction

Addiction Treatments
When we say addiction treatments it implies more than one, and so it is. If we define treatment per the Encarta dictionary as ‘the particular way somebody or something is dealt with or handled’, we can see that there are usually various ways to achieve this. When it comes to the many addiction treatments available one can be overwhelmed with all the options. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term and non-traditional approach to solving addiction. What this means is that Narconon methodologies do not use the disease approach to addiction where one is considered ‘sick’ or ‘ill’ for a lifetime. Narconon is an empowering approach where we assist the individual to fully confront and handle the mental and physical cravings, guilt and depression that are the actual sources for drug and alcohol addiction.

Rehab Treatment Center and Addiction

Rehab Treatment Center
At Narconon Arrowhead rehab treatment center we recognize depression as a factor the locks an addict into his addiction. Depression is a source of significant discomfort that prompts continued use and is a major barrier to recovery. Some traditional medical and psychiatric-based programs treat the depression as the cause of addiction with further drugs and medications which only serve to mask the symptoms. Once these additional drugs wear off, depression returns, often worse. This makes the recovery process more difficult, if not impossible. In most cases depression actually manifests itself after the person becomes addicted, not before. The cause of the depression is linked to the drugs themselves.

 

Drug Effects and Addiction

Drug Effects
Three of the drug effects in any type of addiction that must be fully resolved for any chance of lasting recovery are cravings, guilt, and depression. Cravings can be mental or physical and are strong, uncontrollable urges to use drugs or alcohol despite the consequences. Depression is the source of constant and significant amounts of discomfort that prompts continued drug use in an attempt to alleviate the depression. Guilt is the feelings resulting from dishonest deeds and harm caused to the people closest to and most important to the addict. With unresolved feelings of guilt the addict is very prone and quite likely to continue using drugs or relapse to drug use in a misguided attempt to escape the feeling of guilt. In what seems an endless cycles this goes on and on with the addiction and the cravings, guilt, and depression going in a downward spiral towards death or jail.
