Drug Rehab Information By State
The Encarta dictionary defines drug
abuse as ‘the harmful and illegal non-medicinal use of drugs or alcohol’.
Drug
abuse usually begins in an effort to relieve some sort of pain or discomfort; this could be emotion, mental, or physical.
Many drugs do this, but only temporarily and generally when the drug wears off the pains and discomforts remain, often times worsened.
Since they worked once more drugs are used in an effort to obtain further relief, and since tolerance builds up in most cases more and more of the drug or alcohol is needed.
More and more of the person’s life centers around obtaining and using drugs. The drugs and alcohol have long ceased to cure any problems and have themselves now become the problem. At this point,
drug abuse involves abuse of finances, relationships, health, career, etc. When one handles the reasons for the initial
drug abuse the need for drugs fades away.
Relapse
treatment is best affected before the relapse occurs and not after.
After so many losses in this area many
addiction professionals feel relapse is often inevitable and needs to be planned for.
This is a defeatist mentality.
There are solutions to the problems of relapse over and over in an endless cycle of pain and misery. With over 40 years of experience and a 76% success rate Narconon knows the answers to
relapse prevention as opposed to relapse treatment.
We are a long term facility which fully addresses the three causes of continued addiction, once these hare handled relapse and worry about it just fade away.
How does one go about determining when
drug use crosses the line into drug
abuse and addiction?
Drugs are used as a solution to pain, be it mental, emotional, or physical.
Fore instance one takes a painkiller and physical pain subsides or one take a street drug and the emotional pain of feeling like an outsider goes away.
There are many motivations but they all come under the heading of handling pain in one way or another.
Drug
abuse sets in when the drug is being used more and more to mask and cover up the pain rather than addressing the actual causes of the pain itself. From abuse one quickly moves on to
addiction where tolerance to the drugs builds up to the point where the individual can’t conceive of life without them for fear of unbearable pain of one type or another. Ones life then becomes centered on acquiring and using more and more drugs at any cost or sacrifice. Along with this comes all the cravings, guilt and depression that results from harm done to self, family, loved ones, careers, etc.
How does one help addiction?
First of course is stopping drug use, normally known as withdrawal.
Second would be a return to physical health and vitality.
At Narconon Arrowhead we take this a step further and deliver the New Life
Detoxification Program to thoroughly rid the body of all stored drugs and toxins.
Third should be gaining the life skills and abilities to fully confront and resolve the three main components of continuing
addiction which are cravings, guilt, and depression. This results in the ability to put an end to drug
addiction and lead a happy, productive, drug free life. There are certainly additional factors that come up and need to be dealt with on a person by person individual level.
