Counseling
Counseling is a generally misunderstood word.
It is often interpreted as some evaluating for another and telling them what to think or do. Someone else’s opinion or evaluation is simply that, and gives no certainty of anything to the recipient.
This is a very limited view of the concept and it has very limited workability as well.
Counseling ideally should involve getting the individual to confront and communicate with and about the situations in life that they feel they have no control, or reduced control over.
Counseling should offer tools and life skills that the individual can use for themselves and observe for themselves whether they work.
More importantly, do they work for the individual himself?
Drug Rehab Information By State
Drug side effects is really not an applicable term when one is talking about the effects caused by illegal street drugs. Effects can generally be broken in mental and physical categories.
Drugs use up nutritional and vitamin stores very quickly leaving the body open to all sorts of illness and maladies and many physical effects are the result of these deficiencies.
Drug induced neurosis and psychosis is the easiest way to explain the hundreds of various mental and emotional side effects from
drug use and addiction.
With prescription drugs, many of the side effects are quite debilitating and life threatening even when taken as prescribed, let alone at abusive levels.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional, inpatient drug
treatment center.
What this means is that alcoholics or addicts come and reside at Narconon Arrowhead for the duration of their treatment.
This is a self-paced program and is governed by results rather than a set number of days in treatment. A good average is generally 90 -120 days.
Non traditional refers to the fact that we do not treat
addiction or
alcoholism as incurable diseases.
Addiction and
alcoholism can be beaten for a lifetime, and without constant worry about relapse or reversion. We work on the assumption of the basic goodness of the individual and their desire to create a drug and alcohol free lifestyle. Our inpatient drug
treatment center assists the individual to confront, and resolve all life situations needing addressed and so remove the need to run from them with drugs or alcohol.
An inpatient
rehabilitation treatment center is generally the way to go for effective
treatment of severe drug
abuse or any form of addiction. This is not to say the outpatient does not have a use, as it does in cases of light
abuse where the individual still maintains control of life and situations to an extent.
In the main however,
addiction by its very nature implies an inability to control use and by extension inability to handle life situations that led up to and are contributing factors in continuing addiction.
With its use of close supervision and removal from dangerous environments the inpatient
rehabilitation treatment center provides superior chances of achieving a drug free lifestyle.
Rehab
detox is often considered to be merely withdrawal services.
Withdrawal while vital is not really the full
detoxification needed to insure a full handling for the drugs and toxins still in the body creating sometime uncontrollable cravings. The Narconon Arrowhead New Life
Detoxification Program fully handles the drugs and toxin residuals that lodge in the fatty tissues for months and years.
In moments of stress these drug residuals break loose from the fatty tissues when they can re-enter the blood stream creating intense mental and physical cravings even though the drug has not been used for some time.
This is one of the major reasons for relapse and continued use.
Most of Narconon Arrowhead participants report and end to cravings at the end of the
detoxification portion of the program accompanied by a marked resurgence in their overall sense of well being
