Drug Rehab Program
When previous attempts to handle
addiction have failed, one could look at a drug
rehab program that offers effective alternatives before one gives up.
One of these is Narconon Arrowhead with a long term, drug free, non-traditional approach which achieves a 76% success rate. What has not proven effective is substitute drug treatment.
Methadone, anti-depressants and other prescription medications are designed to mask the symptoms of addiction.
For all intents and purposes one is trading one
addiction for another. An alternative program can offer hope and produce lasting results when addiction has gone beyond the reach of the more traditional approaches.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Relapse recovery comes about from a failure in the first place to handle the three main factors causing relapse.
First are cravings for drugs or alcohol (both mental and physical). One of the main causes of this is an inadequate detoxification.
Withdrawal procedures are simply the start and are by no means a complete detoxification.
Second and third are the unhandled feelings of guilt and depression resulting from harm and damage done to self and loved ones, and the sacrifices made in personal beliefs and values as a result of doing whatever is necessary to obtain and continue using drugs and/or alcohol.
When these points are fully handled the incidence of relapse drops away and one is finally able to have a lasting and happy drug free productive life.
Narconon Arrowhead is a drug
rehab program in the fullest sense of the term.
Rehabilitate means to restore to a former condition or state, while program refers to a series of steps to bring about an intended result.
At Narconon Arrowhead we use a multi-phase approach to first end drug
abuse and
addiction while restoring mental and physical health and vigor with full
detoxification of the body.
We then go on to assist the individual in handling issues surrounding cravings, guilt and depression that led up to and then continued the
abuse and addiction.
Once past problems and issues have been resolved to the student’s satisfaction he is ready to move into learning tools and abilities to enable him to confront the present and to create the future he wants for himself, family, career, etc. While there are probably as many issues to confront as there are addicts and each has his own particular scene, the above is the rough outline for achieving a drug free productive life for our students, while addressing each individuals particular needs.
Opium
addiction has a long history.
It was a problem in the 1850’s when morphine was developed as a non-addictive substitute.
Morphine was soon a bigger
addiction problem than opium.
The morphine problem was ‘solved’ with another opium derivative – Heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than either morphine or opium. In the middle and latter parts of the 20th century along come methadone as the cure for heroin.
You guessed it, methadone is stronger, more addictive, and more life threatening than any of the opium derivatives that came before it. Ask any methadone addict, or addiction professional dealing with
methadone addiction and withdrawal. By the 1990’s the mortality rate from opium derivatives was estimated to be 20 times greater than the general population.
The cycle of
addiction begins with a problem, discomfort, or physical or emotional pain. Drugs or alcohol are used in an effort to find relief.
Short term temporary relief is found which give the drug or alcohol value in the eye of the user.
When confronted with the problem, pain, etc. again in the future the individual is prone to use the drug or alcohol again.
The problem arises when it takes more and more of the drug or alcohol to get the same effect and instead of handling the source of the problem or pain the drugs are continually used to mask the symptoms while the problem itself continues to get worse.
The drugs and alcohol themselves create new physical problems, shut of awareness and ability, all of which simply increases the symptoms to the point of the person being obsessed with finding and using the drugs or alcohol to numb himself, despite consequences to self and family.
