Drug Treatment Centers
Drug
treatment centers are not all equal.
There is long term, short term, 28 day, in-patient, out-patient, to say nothing of different approaches used by various drug
treatment centers. At Narconon Arrowhead Drug
Treatment Center we find a long-term, in-patient, non-traditional approach is the most workable for insuring a drug free and productive lifestyle for a lifetime.
Narconon Arrowhead uses an empowering approach to rehabilitation. Addressing not only
drug use cessation and a
detoxification program second to none, but a fully handling of the three factors of cravings, quilt and depression found to be the core elements in achieving lasting recovery.
At Narconon Arrowhead Drug
Treatment Center each addicts individual situations and issues are fully explored and the individual is trained to resolve these for him or herself, as well as gaining all the tools necessary to maintain a drug free and productive life!
Drug Rehab Information By State
A truly effective drug
rehabilitation experience involves several factors.
First of all of course is the cessation of current drug and alcohol use with a withdrawal process that is as painless as possible both mentally and physically.
Second is a truly effective
detoxification program which removes stored drugs, toxins, and poisons from the body. The New Life
Detoxification Program available at Narconon Arrowhead is state of the art
detoxification for Drug Rehabilitation.
Third is handling the Cravings (mental and physical), guilt and depression that go hand and hand with addiction.
Fourth is the acquiring of life skills needed to live a truly drug free, happy and prosperous life without constant fear of relapse. There are certainly other points of address, but these are the main categories to effective recovery in any drug
rehabilitation program. Narconon Arrowhead not only gets the individual clean, but more importantly assists them in acquiring the desire, mental outlook, and actual ability to live drug free for a lifetime!
The
12 step program has been around in various forms since the 1920’s.
It basically involves 12 different steps done by the addict or
alcoholic in an attempt to gain control over the
addiction or alcoholism.
There are thousands of local meetings throughout the world whose membership uses the 12 steps as their basic approach.
Many of the short term
drug rehabs also use the 12 step approach to solving
addiction or alcoholism.
There is absolutely no doubt that this approach works for some and works well. However, overall success rates tend to be dismally low. For instance AA reports a meager 5-7% retention rate for those attending these meetings. All is not hopeless for you or a loved one who has found a
12 step program not fully handling addiction or alcoholism. There are more non-traditional alternatives available with significantly higher success rates; Narconon Arrowhead is one of these.
Ideally, what should follow after drug
rehab treatment?
The cravings to use drugs or alcohol should be fully handled and not constantly recurring.
The Narconon New Life
Detoxification Program removes the drugs and toxins that have been lodged in the body for years with most participants reporting an end to cravings at this point.
The guilt and depression that goes hand and hand with
addiction should be addressed and relieved, so as not to constantly haunt the individual.
The Narconon life skills segment of the program has several phases that address exactly these points bringing much needed relief and going a long way towards restoring normal relationships and even improving on them. When the factors causing
addiction are fully addressed the door is opened to a drug free and productive life.
There is a lot of media and press on the subject of substance
abuse intervention these days, there are even television shows covering the topic.
What happens in most cases of drug and alcohol
addiction is the person ceases to track with reality to a greater or lesser degree.
They simply don’t see the situations or consequences that are as clear as day to you or I.
Their ability to move their attention away from their own drug induced mental and physical pain and out onto their environments is markedly reduced and they are not aware.
This can be quite frustrating to loved ones trying to help, as what is obvious to us is simply not real to the addict in many cases. A substance
abuse intervention should be designed to give the addict enough assistance with his external observations that the situations and consequences that his or her
addiction is creating once again become real to him or her. When the addict feels the threat of pain and loss from his environment is greater than the threat of pain or loss from drugs he or she usually becomes willing to do something, thought this may be reluctantly.
