Drug Statistics

Drug statistics abound in government, educational, and private studies. These can be enlightening and informative. The drug statistics from these studies are generally disheartening and leave one without much hope a good amount of the time. When is comes to drug statistics the one you are probably most interested in is that of yourself or a loved one. If you’re looking at this website then it has become personal for you in one form or another. Well here is a statistic that may engender a little hope for you; Narconon Arrowhead has a 76% success rate among our program graduates, one of the best in the field. We do not believe that rehabilitation is fleeting and subject to relapse. We work from a strong foundation of routinely creating drug free productive individuals for a lifetime!

An effective drug abuse treatment center will competently deal with all levels of drug use problems whether abuse or addiction. If one is abusing drugs or alcohol then addiction has already to spread its tentacles around the user. Drug or alcohol abuse leading to addiction always starts as an attempted solution to some form of pain in life. This pain could be mental, physical, or both. It could start as simply of handling the pain of trying to fit in by going along with the crowd and using drugs, or perhaps excessive drinking as a supposed solution to unconfrontable home situations. There are probably as many reasons as there are abusers, addicts, and alcoholics. A good drug abuse treatment center realizes that unless the underlying reasons behind the addiction are handled the individual though now clean, will often finding themselves falling back into the trap of use and addiction as a false solution to handling the stresses that initially caused it to begin with - and never were handled.

The correct choice of drug and alcohol treatment is a life altering and (more often than not) a life saving choice. Here are some of our suggestions at Narconon Arrowhead for what to look for in drug and alcohol treatment regardless of whether you choose Narconon Arrowhead or not. First, find a program that is drug free including withdrawal (except when medically needed). Handling addiction with more drugs just doesn’t make good sense. Second find a program that offers full detoxification in addition to withdrawal only. Stored drugs and toxins can account for cravings and relapse months or even years after last use. Third in our list of most important drug and alcohol treatment needs is a treatment that fully addresses guilt and depression which almost always accompany drug or alcohol addiction, and in fact can be major factors that led up to the drug or alcohol abuse to begin with. These are of course not a complete list, but are starting points when exploring various treatment options.

Long term drug treatment is proving to be more and more effective in handling addiction and alcoholism for a lifetime. With the majority of rehab participants entering treatment with multiple drugs of abuse and addiction a long term drug treatment becomes more and more an important point in obtaining lifetime sobriety. There is also marked increase in potency of many of the drugs on the market these days to say nothing of the epidemic increase in the abuse of prescription drugs many of which have life threatening side effects. Treatment needs to be monitored not in terms of days spent in treatment but rather in terms of lasting results for a lifetime.

Effectiveness and results are the key points to investigate when looking for an inpatient drug rehabilitation center. There are lots of different theories and methodologies when it comes to handling addiction. All the salesmanship in the world doesn’t make an inpatient drug rehabilitation center a good one; effective and lasting results is what make a good and even great drug rehab. Narconon technology has been in use for over 40 years and produces drug free productive lives for a lifetime, with the highest sustained success rates in the business. Getting someone clean and off drugs is not that difficult, but creating drug free lifestyles is the key and that is what Narconon Arrowhead is all about.
