Prescription Drug Rehab – Success Story

When I arrived here at drug rehab, I was dead inside and hopeless. Now, I am alive and excited about living the rest of my life in sobriety. I have discovered a new confidence in my ability to confront the challenges in life. I no longer want to withdraw because I fear failure. I have begun a journey to enjoy my life and a commitment to improve the quality. Each day will be precious to me. M.J.

Chemical Dependency Rehab and Addiction

Chemical Dependency Rehab
Chemical dependency rehab is an all inclusive term which covers addiction rehabilitation for a full array of drug and chemicals. Alcohol of course is included in any discussion of addiction and whenever drug addiction is spoken it should be understood that this includes alcohol – which can be one of the roughest addictions to treat and recover from. Illegal street drugs such as heroin, crack, and meth would come under this category of chemical dependency. One of the fastest growing areas of chemical dependency, abuse and addiction is coming from prescription drugs. More and more people entering a chemical dependency rehab are reporting prescription drug abuse in addition to their alcohol or illegal drug addiction and also as their primary drug of abuse or addiction. Many of these prescription drugs and chemicals build up tolerance which leads to abuse and addiction as well as having side effects that can be severe and life threatening, especially so when abused.

Medical Drugs and Addiction

Medical Drugs
Medical drugs are generally prescribed as short term solutions in the handling of pain. Many of these medical drugs will build up tolerance in the system requiring increased amounts for the same effect. Thus dependence sets in and one begins taking these at abusive and addictive levels before long. This accounts for drugs like OxyContin being more and more used in illegal black markets to handle addiction to them. Black market illegal use of drugs such as these is outstripping legitimate use and prescription. Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are much the same story with many school age children selling their prescriptions in the school yard. Add the horrific side effects, some of which are life threatening, and what we see is an epidemic rise in the abuse and addiction to prescription medications.

 

Addiction Counseling and Addiction

Addiction Counseling
Addiction counseling done correctly will assist the addict with making the personal life choices that result in a drug free lifestyle. Unfortunately much of what passes for counseling amounts to invalidation and evaluation of the individual, both of which have minimal workability in effecting lasting change. At Narconon Arrowhead addiction counseling takes a different road. We use an educational approach where the individual is given the theory and the application of workable tool for maintaining a drug free lifestyle. The individual then puts these into action for him and observes their workability to the unique situations in their lives. In this way the addict gains tools and methods that are uniquely his and that he will continue to use as he has already seen the positive results from them – not merely someone telling him what to do or think.

 

Addiction Treatment and Addiction

Addiction Treatment
The decision to face the need for addiction treatment, whether it is for oneself or for one’s loved ones) is never an easy decision and one is often left with the ‘hope’ that the decision made was a good one. Long term treatment options have proven to be much more effective in preventing continual relapse that often occurs following the more short term addiction treatment options. Addiction treatment should also be an empowering experience, giving the addict the tools needed and putting them into a position to actually change the conditions of their lives and so be able to actually maintain a drug free and productive life. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional addiction treatment facility, routinely creating drug free productive lives for life!
