Addictions
Addictions can be classified by a condition of repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
Addictions is probably a more correct use of the term
addiction as most individuals entering
addiction treatment generally have more than one substance of abuse, beyond their primary one.
The strength, potency, and wide types of drugs and substances on the scene today make these
addictions the plague of the modern world.
There are only three possible outcomes for these addictions; jail, death, or sobriety, ultimately the addict must choose.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Drug
rehab for young adults can sometimes present unique but fully resolvable issues to be addressed.
Young adults can often the life experience which would serve to drive home the seriousness of their situation.
They often times have little or no experience at being fully independent and responsible.
Many still have very close financial ties to family, and as such may not have yet felt the full impact of their addiction.
The rebelliousness of youth has often not fully play out and can get very irrational indeed when coupled with drug addiction.
Addiction always involves cravings and feeling of guilt and depression whether the individual is fully aware of it or not. Narconon Arrowhead is fully aware of the particular factors related to age when entering rehab. Our personalized approach is able to achieve results that last, regardless of age or life experience.
Each drug of course can and does create its own effects.
With all the substances available today the list of effects can be staggering. There are common denominators to drug
abuse and
addiction however.
Those who start down the path of
addiction begin to accumulate so much damage to their physical and mental selves and their lives that the quality of their lives in general deteriorates. If drug or alcohol
abuse continues unchecked, eventually the person is faced with so many unpleasant circumstances that each sober moment is filled with despair and misery. All this person now wants to do is escape these feelings by medicating them away. This is the downward spiral of addiction.For most addicts, there are only three possible outcomes: sobriety, prison or death.
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.
How does Narconon Arrowhead compare to other drug and alcohol rehabs?
We are a long-term residential facility where the individual progress is measured by results and not time spent.
Unlike some
drug and alcohol rehabs we are a drug free facility.
This means no substitute mood altering drugs or substances used in an effort to alleviate some other drug.
We follow this up with a full
detoxification program designed to remove the actual stored quantities of drugs and toxins from the body. Many short term
drug and alcohol rehabs deal mainly in getting the person clean and teaching him how to live as an addict or alcoholic. Narconon Arrowhead deals with terminatedly handling the
addiction or
alcoholism and giving the individual the skills, abilities, health, and personal certainty to live a drug free and productive life.
