Narconon Arrowhead Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center Success Story

When I arrived here at Narconon Arrowhead, I had lost all hope in life and myself. I was defeated and living on the streets, smoking crack, being in an abusive relationship brought me so low I felt like I would just rather die. When I was first here at drug rehab I wouldn’t talk to anyone in fear they would hurt me or put me down. I never in a million years imagined I could feel so good. This drug rehab program has given me my life back. In here I have regained myself and my family. I have grown. I have self-esteem and confidence I never before had. I can produce and provide. I have been able to sit down and talk and help others as they have done for me. My body and mind are clean, as is the new life waiting for me out there. I have the ability to make the right decision and stay away from people who are not striving for the same goals. I am here on the earth for a specific reason and I have purpose - I never before believed that. My purpose to live and succeed and help others who will help me survive. I have found out who I really am and it feels good. I am an intelligent, beautiful, funny, talented, caring, honest, respectful, trustworthy, hard working woman, daughter and friend. I am drug-free for the first time in 17 years and wonder why I never realized how good it feels before now. I remember things. I have never laughed so much in my life and all of me and my emotions are genuine. I will never, ever forget what I have been given here at Narconon Arrowhead's drug rehab program. I am a success! I am alive! Thank you! M.R.

Addiction Recovery and Addiction

Addiction Recovery
At Narconon Arrowhead we apply the word recovery in its fullest sense. We do not operate under the false assumption of once an addict, always an addict. Recovery means to return to a normal state or an improved state following a setback or loss; it also means gaining back something lost. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in addiction recovery which leads to a drug free productive life for a lifetime. Getting the drugs fully out of the body (not just withdrawal), handling the factors of cravings, guilt, and depression so often accompanying and adding to addiction, and the gaining of skills and abilities are all factors leading to full addiction recovery. There is a definite difference between a program that stops drug use, but leaves the underlying reasons untouched, and a program that leads to recovery in the fullest sense of the definitions above.

Alcoholic and Addiction

Alcoholic
The term ‘Alcoholic’ is simply the name given to someone addicted to alcohol. Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. All the various formulas regarding how many drinks, how often, are meaningless when reviewed against the above definition. The compulsive seeking and use could be by the minute, hour, day, etc. The key is compulsive seeking and use, despite what it does to self, family, or career. It is not that the alcoholic doesn’t care; it is that the use has become compulsive and the cravings, guilt, and depression keep him or her drinking.

 

Inpatient Drug Treatment Clinic and Addiction

Inpatient Drug Treatment Clinic
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.

 

Detoxification and Addiction

Detoxification
Many programs consider withdrawal from the particular drug of addiction to be detoxification. The is only a partial answer and when substitute drugs are given to replace the substance of abuse this is hardly detoxification at all and is often simply trading one substance for another, as in the use of some anti-depressants, or drugs like methadone, etc. Detoxification means to remove drugs, poisons and toxins from the body as fully as possible. Research clearly indicates that these substances will store in the fatty tissues of the body for months and even years. This in part accounts for drugged feeling and cravings appearing long after use has ceased. At Narconon Arrowhead we follow up withdrawal from use with the New Life Detoxification Program. This is state of the art detoxification embracing nutrition, exercise, and sauna routines to flush the stored drugs and toxins from the body. Many of the people completing this detoxification program report a complete handling and end of drug cravings, with rises in intelligence and ability demonstrated by actual test results.
