Another Drug Rehab Program Success Story

The phrase, “if I only knew then what I know now” no longer applies to me. I have felt and lived the experience of having a clean body, and best of all, a clean mind and soul. I have felt the weight of past guilt lift from my being. I have the tools that are not taught anywhere else but at the Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Center to help me maintain a strong, healthy, happy, prosperous life. I have a confidence I never had before. This phrase no longer applies because I now know I have a new life, with the excitement and awe of a 10 year old, but with the wisdom of a 39 year old. Freedom from yourself is God’s greatest gift of all and you can find it here. V.H.

Addiction Clinics

Addiction Clinics
Addiction clinics are generally out-patient facilities which offer various services to aid in addiction recovery. Some, such as methadone clinics, are actually involved in simply substituting one drug or another. This is misguided help as replacing one drug with another is never a long term solution to drug addiction. This is not to say that addiction clinics don’t offer some valuable services, most of them do. An addiction clinic can be a starting point in confronting addiction. Following up clinic services with a comprehensive long term, impatient drug rehabilitation program is the best insurance for a drug free productive life. Narconon Arrowhead is such a facility.

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.

 

Medical Drugs and Addiction

Medical Drugs
Medical drugs are generally prescribed as short term solutions in the handling of pain. Many of these medical drugs will build up tolerance in the system requiring increased amounts for the same effect. Thus dependence sets in and one begins taking these at abusive and addictive levels before long. This accounts for drugs like OxyContin being more and more used in illegal black markets to handle addiction to them. Black market illegal use of drugs such as these is outstripping legitimate use and prescription. Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are much the same story with many school age children selling their prescriptions in the school yard. Add the horrific side effects, some of which are life threatening, and what we see is an epidemic rise in the abuse and addiction to prescription medications.

 

Drug Rehabs and Addiction

Drug Rehabs
When choosing drug rehabs most people are interested in one main factor – which drug rehab offers the most effective program to help my loved one achieve a lasting drug free lifestyle? Getting an answer to just this one question can be a confusing and daunting task. At Narconon Arrowhead we suggest you look for drug rehabs that are drug free in their approach to addiction treatment. Handling a drug addiction problem with further drugs, even if prescribed or legal ones, just doesn’t make sense. The side-effects alone from some of these substances can escalate the problem beyond imagination. An individual needs to eliminate cravings and deal with guilt and depression in a drug free manner. This is best achieved by learning and applying the necessary skills to comfortably confront the business of living. Look for drug rehabs that build your loved one up, and not tear them down with further drug dependence!

 

Drug Facts and Addiction

Drug Facts
There are common denominators between drugs though each may have its own effects and side effects. All drugs are essentially poisons with the amount taken determining the effect. A small amount of any drug will act as a stimulant (increases activity). A larger amount of any drug will act as a sedative (suppressing activity). A still larger amount poisons and can kill. This is true of any drug and only the amount needed differs. Drugs act to block of sensations, unfortunately this includes desirable sensations as well as unwanted sensations. Though sometimes of short term value in handling pain, they also wipe out ability, alertness, and greatly confuse thinking processes. At an addictive level drugs serve as major sources of numbing mental and physical sensation, while at the same time increasing unwanted attitudes, emotions, sensations, and pains, when attempts are made to cease use.
