Drug Addiction Treatment Program Success Story

I have waited for this day for a long time. I must say, it has come faster than I expected, probably because I’m not so focused on what’s in my head. Narconon Arrowhead's drug rehab program has given me my inspiration back. I’m really sad to leave all the great staff and friends, but I’m excited to go home and start a new life with my wife and family and share the knowledge I have gained with my community. C.G.

Drug and alcohol addiction is the root cause to many other societal problems and it costs our country up to $500 billion each year, in addition to the thousands of lives lost, broken homes and drug-related crime.

Addiction Side Effects and Addiction

Addiction Side Effects
With most drugs there are short term effect, long term effects and addiction side effects which would actually be long term effects resulting from abusive use of illegal drugs and addiction to prescription drugs that can occur even at what is commonly considered ‘safe’ levels. Anti-depressants are a case in point. Many of these legal medications have serious side effects including increased violent behavior as well as suicidal ideation when taken at prescribed levels, especially in youth. Add in the fact that many of these drugs are taken at abusive non-prescribed levels as well as mixed with other prescription drugs and illegal street drugs. With the current trends in abuse and addiction inpatient medically supervised withdrawal is vital in most cases of addiction treatment.

Addiction Rehab and Addiction

Addiction Rehab
Rehabilitate means to return to a previous condition or an improvement of even that. An addiction rehab that is truly effective will bypass restoring the individual to a previous condition and go straight for an improvement of even that. The reasoning is relatively simple. The previous condition obviously contributed to and led up to the drug abuse and addiction to begin with. If one is trying to insure a drug free productive condition that will last a lifetime than one better locate, address, and fully resolve those past factors that contributed to and let up to the addiction initially and then kept it going.

 

Chemical Dependency Treatment and Addiction

Chemical Dependency Treatment
There are three major components to the Narconon Arrowhead chemical dependency treatment. 1. A full and complete handling of the mental and physical cravings that come from any form of dependency. There is more to this than mere withdrawal from use, though this is a vital starting point. 2. Handling the guilt and depression that comes from the dependent life style and the damage done to self and loved ones. Most addicts, given the know-how and chance will jump at the chance to relieve these devastating feeling that have been keeping them using more and more drugs and alcohol in a failed attempt to find some relief. 3. This involves having the needed skills and abilities to fix what damage they can and then go on to create a truly drug free and productive life. Once the individual feels better without drugs or alcohol than they do with them the need for these substances fade away. This is what chemical dependency treatment is all about.

 

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.
