Success Story - Adult Drug Rehab

When I came to Narconon Arrowhead, I had been fighting a battle with drugs and was getting my butt kicked. I was out of bullets and had no control over my life. I knew that I needed help, but did not honestly think anything could be done, because I was in too deep with an unethical lifestyle of crime and drug use. I was a terrible, dishonest son, an un-loyal, non-supportive father and husband. My mom never gave up on my ability to get help and turn my life around. She got me here to Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Treatment Center. This program starts off great and keeps getting better. I have gained the ability to properly communicate with people. By completing the sauna program, I feel so much better and have regained a clear body and mind. I am aware of my life and I no longer dwell on past problems that kept me held up in life. I have regained the ability to be in full control of my life and make conscious, wise decisions. I know that I can have anything in life I want. I now know about all the areas that make up my life and what I must do to survive. I will soon be back on the battle ground in North Florida, but thanks to the Narconon Arrowhead staff and technology I learned, I have plenty of bullets to fight back with. I am confident in myself and know I am finally ready to return home to my family and remain drug-free forever. R.K.

Cannabis Addiction

Cannabis Addiction
Executive Director of Narconon Arrowhead Gary W. Smith reports, ‘Although the number of people coming to us who are abusing pot is a smaller percentage of our total clientele, in the 30 years I have been in the drug rehabilitation field I have not seen these numbers of individuals literally hooked on marijuana and unable to stop on their own. We’ve known for a long time that marijuana use can lead to other drugs but it is shocking to see people whose lives are being destroyed by smoking pot just like others we are treating who are addicted to crack or alcohol. I believe this is happening because the strength of the pot that is being smoked today is probably ten times stronger than the pot of 20 years ago.’

Alcohol Abuse Treatment and Addiction

Alcohol Abuse Treatment
Alcohol abuse can be considered to set in when the use of alcohol is impacting the individual’s quality of life. This may be drinking on the job, arguments at home due to mild or severe intoxication, ignoring one’s responsibilities in favor of alcohol use, or any of the seemingly endless list of detrimental effects. One does not necessarily reach the stages of full blown alcoholism in order to benefit from alcohol abuse treatment. Alcohol abuse most often occurs as a solution to the cravings, guilt, and depression. These three points are key points leading up to and then continuing drug or alcohol abuse. When one is able to feel better and find more joy without the alcohol than with it, the need, desire, or compulsion to abuse it fades away. Alcohol abuse treatment in time can prevent the full blown miseries and possible death resulting from alcoholism.

 

Rehabilitation and Addiction

Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation means to restore to a previous state or condition. So what exactly does this mean when applied to drug or alcohol rehabilitation? An effective rehabilitation will address both mental and physical conditions that have been altered and worsened as a result of the addiction. Ceasing drug or alcohol use is usually the easier of the problems relating to drug and alcohol abuse. With correct medical and nutritional care and proper withdrawal regimens this can be gently and quickly achieved in a few days in most cases. Rehabilitation of the individual and the body follows. Cravings, guilt, and depression are among the key factors needing addressed and resolved in order to obtain lasting rehabilitation and a return of previous abilities, behavior levels, and personal drive. A truly effective drug rehab can actually put a person in even better mental and physical shape than he was prior to the onset of drug or alcohol abuse. When the factors which cause the original abuse are handled and tools for the future obtained, the need or desire for further drug or alcohol abuse tends to fall away and not return. Narconon Arrowhead is such a program and routinely delivers such results.

 

LSD Addiction and Addiction

LSD Addiction
LSD is one of the most psychologically damaging drugs available on the streets today. LSD users may manifest relatively long-lasting psychoses such as schizophrenia or severe depression, even after only one use. There is a tolerance that can build up requiring larger and larger doses to induce the “LSD trip”, but is there such a thing as LSD addiction? Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. Many individuals coming to addiction treatment for LSD report using more and more of the drug more frequently over time with many of these individuals binging on the drug for long periods of time.

 

Best Drug Rehab and Addiction

Best Drug Rehab
What goes into creating the best drug rehab possible? In putting together the Narconon Arrowhead program with success rates far and above the current norms we have isolated what we consider some key components. First is a full handling of cravings, guilt, and depression which are the three blocks to any addiction recovery and statistics show that without these three handled the individual has a much greater risk of relapse. Narconon technology handles each of these. Also important is a long term residential treatment facility where the individual is able to attack each of these points to a full resolution as opposed to have a couple of weeks or 28 days of clean time. A drug free environment is also essential. Substituting one drug or substance in hopes of handling another drug or substance makes no sense and is an endless downward spiral leading to more addiction. A drug free productive life should be the goal of anyone claiming to be the best drug rehab, not simply changing drugs.
