Addiction - Abuse and Addiction

Addiction - Abuse
Drug abuse occurs with any use of illegal substances and also occurs when prescription drugs are taken in excess of recommended dosages or for longer than prescribed. Addiction is the inevitable next step forward if drug abuse is not handled. Addiction is the compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. At this point the abuse of drugs goes beyond just impacting the individual and is severely impacting family, loved ones, finances and careers. When the individual moves from abuse to addiction the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.

LSD and Addiction

LSD
LSD is one of the most potent, mood-changing chemicals available. LSD effects are extremely unpredictable. It could be a racing distorted high all the way to severe paranoid and suicidal low. LSD can create severe neurosis and psychosis which can sometimes become permanent. In the 1950’s the western intelligence community was experimenting with LSD as a possible chemical weapon with researchers noting that ‘LSD is capable of rendering whole groups of people, including military forces, indifferent to their surroundings and situations, interfering with planning and judgment and even creating apprehension, uncontrollable confusion and terror’. Experiments continued along these lines until LSD was banned in 1967.

 

Morphine Addiction and Addiction

Morphine Addiction
Morphine can be highly addictive with Tolerance, physical, and psychological addiction to Morphine developing quickly. Morphine activates the brain’s reward systems. Activation of the brains’ receptors is very intense, causing the individual to crave Morphine and to focus his or her activities around the taking of Morphine. This causes the added effects of guilt and depression as ones responsibilities and values are compromised in order to obtain the drug. Morphine also reduces a person’s level of consciousness and awareness, harming the ability to think clearly or be fully aware of present surroundings Withdrawal from Morphine causes nausea, tearing, yawning, chills, and sweating lasting up to three days.

 

Drug Rehab Programs and Addiction

Drug Rehab Programs
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.
