Drug Rehab Information By State
Drug
abuse begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain for which the individual does not have an immediate answer. The person feels that his problem or pain is major, persistent, and without solution or relief.
For these reasons, some people, young or old, male or female, high income or low, begin to use potentially addictive drugs or alcohol in an attempt to relieve the pain or discomfort.
These drugs may even offer temporary relief.
At this point the individual will continue to use in an effort to find continuing relief.
Tolerance for the drug or alcohol sets in requiring larger and larger doses more and more often to obtain the same results. At this point the door has been opened to drug
abuse and it is only a short walk to full blown addiction.
Drug Rehab Information By City
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.
Drug
rehab facilities are not all created equal and many different types exist.
There are in-patient and out-patient facilities, long term and short term, drug therapy and drug free, traditional and non traditional, just to name a few of the differences.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term in that rather than having a set time span, we operate off of results and this varies by individual.
Average time is 90-120 days.
We are also drug free in that we firmly believe that treating drug
addiction with other ‘maintenance’ type drugs is counter productive to producing a truly drug free productive life. We are also non-traditional and do not treat
addiction as a disease one has for life. Our 76% success rate speaks for itself.
Drugs, including prescription drugs, are essentially poisons.
The amount taken determines the effect.
A small amount acts as a stimulant, a greater amount acts as a sedative, and an even larger amount acts as a poison and can kill.
This is true of any drug, including prescription drugs.
Only the amount needed to achieve the desired result differs. Prescription drugs along with
illegal drugs block off all sensations, the desirable ones with the unwanted. They may of short term value in handling pain, but they also work to wipe out ability, alertness, and muddy one’s thinking.
