Drug Statistics

Drug statistics abound in government, educational, and private studies. These can be enlightening and informative. The drug statistics from these studies are generally disheartening and leave one without much hope a good amount of the time. When is comes to drug statistics the one you are probably most interested in is that of yourself or a loved one. If you’re looking at this website then it has become personal for you in one form or another. Well here is a statistic that may engender a little hope for you; Narconon Arrowhead has a 76% success rate among our program graduates, one of the best in the field. We do not believe that rehabilitation is fleeting and subject to relapse. We work from a strong foundation of routinely creating drug free productive individuals for a lifetime!

The dangers and harm done by marijuana use has been under debate for decades and show no signs of lessening. Whether marijuana addiction exists or not is even more hotly debated. Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. When addiction exists, the drug controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. Statistics do show increasing numbers of people entering addiction treatment reporting marijuana as their primary drug of abuse. Add to this the much stronger strains of marijuana available and the tendency to mix the drug with other substances such or crack and PCP and the potential for addiction becomes more pronounced. Rather than endlessly debate the issue, one should simply look at the marijuana use of self or a loved one against the above definition.

If you or a loved one is in the full grip of the downward spiral of addiction, looking to addiction centers can offer information, help, and assistance for an otherwise hopeless situation. Many addiction centers have websites which can be a rich source of information regarding addiction and on specific drugs. Addiction centers have varying philosophies regarding addiction which should be obtainable from their websites as well. The main thing one is looking for when considering any addiction centers should be proven results over an extended period of time.

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.

A drug treatment center to be truly effective needs to address the entire individual as well as the many situations the individual finds himself involved with as a result of addiction and/or alcoholism. Drug treatment centers deal with the actual drug addictions of the individual of course, but an effective drug treatment center and its personnel also realize that there are issues such as legal, financial, family, and especially guilt and depression that must be resolved for the individual to realize a life that is truly drug free and productive. Narconon Arrowhead Drug Treatment Center addresses all factors necessary for the individual to be able to return home drug free and productive for a life time. Just getting clean is never enough!
