Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Abuse Treatment Center

I came to Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Abuse Treatment Center when I realized I could not stop using cocaine. I had thought previously I could stop. I was a successful businesswoman. I had purchased a half million dollar home and had always paid off all of my credit card bills in full. That was before I became addicted to cocaine. During my yearlong cocaine binge, I maxed my credit cards and was making it to work later and later. I also could barely pay my mortgage at the end of the year. When I made the choice that I needed help, it was because I knew I was going to start smoking cocaine. I didn’t choose to come to drug rehab because I was losing everything. I couldn’t even focus on that. All I could think about was cocaine. I arrived at Narconon Arrowhead in April. It has helped me realize so many things about myself that I don’t think I would have if I was somewhere else, like another drug rehab where they give you one drug to help you get off another. I can’t wait to see the new me six months from now. I am already amazed at the new me after two weeks. N.F.

Detox and Addiction

Detox
Many people have a misunderstanding when it comes to detox. Quite often it is confused with withdrawal. Withdrawal is the process of ceasing the current drug or alcohol use with enough of the effects handled so as to give the individual a fighting chance at continued sobriety. Detox on the other hand should involve removing the quantities of drugs and toxins that store in the fat tissues of the body, sometimes for years. The Narconon Arrowhead New Life Detoxification Program is done following withdrawal and results in a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being for the individual. Many, if not most, of our detoxification program completions report an end to their drug or alcohol cravings at this point.

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.

 

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.
