Addiction Help
How does one help addiction?
First of course is stopping drug use, normally known as withdrawal.
Second would be a return to physical health and vitality.
At Narconon Arrowhead we take this a step further and deliver the New Life
Detoxification Program to thoroughly rid the body of all stored drugs and toxins.
Third should be gaining the life skills and abilities to fully confront and resolve the three main components of continuing
addiction which are cravings, guilt, and depression. This results in the ability to put an end to drug
addiction and lead a happy, productive, drug free life. There are certainly additional factors that come up and need to be dealt with on a person by person individual level.
Drug Rehab Information By State
The correct choice of drug and alcohol
treatment is a life altering and (more often than not) a life saving choice.
Here are some of our suggestions at Narconon Arrowhead for what to look for in drug and alcohol
treatment regardless of whether you choose Narconon Arrowhead or not.
First, find a program that is drug free including withdrawal (except when medically needed).
Handling
addiction with more drugs just doesn’t make good sense.
Second find a program that offers full
detoxification in addition to withdrawal only. Stored drugs and toxins can account for cravings and relapse months or even years after last use. Third in our list of most important drug and
alcohol treatment needs is a treatment that fully addresses guilt and depression which almost always accompany drug or alcohol addiction, and in fact can be major factors that led up to the drug or alcohol
abuse to begin with. These are of course not a complete list, but are starting points when exploring various treatment options.
When speaking of an inpatient drug
treatment clinic we are usually referring to a medical facility geared towards or specializing in getting the addict or
alcoholic weaned from the use of these substances.
Alcohol and several of the prescription painkillers and mood altering drugs run a health risk if cessation occurs ‘cold turkey’. Severe Delirium Tremens for alcohol
abuse as well as several of the side effects from prescription dependence can be life threatening if not medically supervised.
These ‘medical detox’ facilities can and do serve a vital role in the
rehabilitation process.
Many of these get the individual to the point were they can cease use of the drug or alcohol safely.
This is by no means a full
detoxification of the human body. Inpatient drug
treatment clinic services need followed up with a program such as the New Life
Detoxification Program at Narconon Arrowhead to fully handle the drug and toxins lodged in the fatty tissues of the body.
Drug Intervention is often effective when all else has failed in attempts to help someone suffering from
addiction or alcoholism.
Many times the addict or
alcoholic already feels he has totally failed his loved ones and cannot face them.
The guilt and depression is just too much to confront.
Even though they may be in the same room listening to loved ones they really aren’t hearing anything. Drug intervention can offer some order and effectiveness to aid the true desire of both the addict and the family to find workable solutions.
Yes, despite all appearances to the contrary, the addict or
alcoholic is seeking a way out of the trap and does want to stop his use. An effective
drug intervention can take that hope and desire, no matter how small, and create a willingness to do something and accept help.
Addiction has many faces.
The
alcoholic who can’t refuse that first drink; the teenager who finds himself craving methamphetamine to keep going after trying in on a dare; the single mom finding herself using more and more anti-depressants to deal with getting through the day; or the workman now using way to many painkillers to get through the physical stress of the workday.
Most
addiction involves more than one substance as addicts seek solutions to the original drugs adverse affects by mistakenly using other substances in an attempt to escape the harsh realities of
addiction or an attempt to simply get back to normal. Each addiction can have its own symptoms and side effects.
Cravings, quilt, and depression however are almost universally common denominators to addiction, any lasting recovery from addiction must confront and relieve or resolve these three key factors.
