Fremont, California Drug Rehab Information

There is a lot of media and press on the subject of substance abuse intervention these days, there are even television shows covering the topic. What happens in most cases of drug and alcohol addiction is the person ceases to track with reality to a greater or lesser degree. They simply don’t see the situations or consequences that are as clear as day to you or I. Their ability to move their attention away from their own drug induced mental and physical pain and out onto their environments is markedly reduced and they are not aware. This can be quite frustrating to loved ones trying to help, as what is obvious to us is simply not real to the addict in many cases. A substance abuse intervention should be designed to give the addict enough assistance with his external observations that the situations and consequences that his or her addiction is creating once again become real to him or her. When the addict feels the threat of pain and loss from his environment is greater than the threat of pain or loss from drugs he or she usually becomes willing to do something, thought this may be reluctantly.

Addiction rehab is a loaded subject, not only for the addict or alcoholic, but for families and loved ones as well.

Addiction counseling done correctly will assist the addict with making the personal life choices that result in a drug free lifestyle. Unfortunately much of what passes for counseling amounts to invalidation and evaluation of the individual, both of which have minimal workability in effecting lasting change. At Narconon Arrowhead addiction counseling takes a different road. We use an educational approach where the individual is given the theory and the application of workable tool for maintaining a drug free lifestyle. The individual then puts these into action for him and observes their workability to the unique situations in their lives. In this way the addict gains tools and methods that are uniquely his and that he will continue to use as he has already seen the positive results from them – not merely someone telling him what to do or think.

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.
