Addiction Recovery
If recovery means a return of something to a normal or improved state following a setback or loss then
addiction recovery is returning the addict to the state they were in prior to the
addiction and ideally an improvement on that.
In fact at Narconon Arrowhead we specialize in returning and addict to an improved state.
As the normal state before addiction had factors which contributed to and led towards addiction, get the person into an improved state is vital to maintaining a drug free lifestyle for a lifetime.
Cravings, guilt, and depression are the main factors to be eliminated which will lead to major improvements in health and outlook for the ex-addict
Drug Rehab Information By State
Loved ones often wonder what exactly
rehab treatment is. At Narconon Arrowhead the basics of
treatment at least can be fairly well understood.
There is a drug free withdrawal process where use of all drugs and alcohol finally comes to an end.
This is followed by a full
detoxification process which actually removes drugs and toxins that have been stored in the fat tissues of the body, often times for years.
This results in a marked overall sense of well being for the individual with many reporting drug or alcohol cravings ending during this time. Our
rehab treatment also includes a full and comprehensive handling of any further emotional cravings as well as addressing guilt and depression which left unhandled are the major reasons for relapse or continued drug use.
Drug side effects is really not an applicable term when one is talking about the effects caused by illegal street drugs. Effects can generally be broken in mental and physical categories.
Drugs use up nutritional and vitamin stores very quickly leaving the body open to all sorts of illness and maladies and many physical effects are the result of these deficiencies.
Drug induced neurosis and psychosis is the easiest way to explain the hundreds of various mental and emotional side effects from
drug use and addiction.
With prescription drugs, many of the side effects are quite debilitating and life threatening even when taken as prescribed, let alone at abusive levels.
All drug
rehab programs are not created equal; there are many different types and formats. There are long term, short term, in-patient, out-patient, traditional 12 step, and non traditional to name but a few.
One big difference to be aware of is whether or not the drug
rehab programs you may be looking at are drug free or whether the program embraces the use of other or substitute or additional drugs and ‘medications’ in an effort to control or alleviate addiction. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non traditional, drug free approach to the problems of
abuse and addiction.
These points set us apart from many of the other
drug rehab programs available. We start with the assumption that the being is basically good and despite any appearances to the contrary actually wants to attain a completely drug free productive life.
The Narconon program embraces many, many different factors that stop or inhibit the individual from reaching this goal. The majority of Narconon staff are ex-addicts and alcoholics themselves and know what it takes to get lasting results – we’ve been there!
When examining the various
drug rehab programs look for one thing – LASTING results and success.
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.
