Drug Rehabilitation Success Story

Since coming to Narconon Arrowhead’s drug rehab, I feel that I have grown to be a better person than I ever have been. I learned how to confront and and communicate with others. I am more than comfortable confronting anybody in any situation. Sauna did wonders for me. I am completely clean of any drugs or toxins. I feel better now than I have ever felt. I had a lot of great wins and feel good about them. I learned who to associate with and who I should eliminate from my life. I was able to experience relief and finally be honest about all the bad things I have ever done throughout my life. Overall, this drug rehab has allowed me to start a new life. I will flourish and prosper when I leave here. R.E.

Drug Abuse and Addiction

Drug Abuse
What is drug abuse and how is it different from drug addiction? In fact there is a very fine line between these two and the term drug abuse is in facto drug addition but it seems less devastating to say drug abuse. Both involve the use of drugs to the point of creating adverse affects to ones health, relationships, career, mental outlook, etc. Addiction usually implies a compulsive uncontrolled used despite these effects being created. If one is continuing to abuse drugs despite the adverse consequences then there really is not much of a difference. It is mostly a matter of which term one chooses to use. Both will eventually lead to one of three outcomes – Jail, Death, or Sobriety. I suppose if you had to make a distinction you could say addiction is closer to jail or death.

LSD and Addiction

LSD
LSD is one of the most potent, mood-changing chemicals available. LSD effects are extremely unpredictable. It could be a racing distorted high all the way to severe paranoid and suicidal low. LSD can create severe neurosis and psychosis which can sometimes become permanent. In the 1950’s the western intelligence community was experimenting with LSD as a possible chemical weapon with researchers noting that ‘LSD is capable of rendering whole groups of people, including military forces, indifferent to their surroundings and situations, interfering with planning and judgment and even creating apprehension, uncontrollable confusion and terror’. Experiments continued along these lines until LSD was banned in 1967.

 

Counseling and Addiction

Counseling
Counseling is a generally misunderstood word. It is often interpreted as some evaluating for another and telling them what to think or do. Someone else’s opinion or evaluation is simply that, and gives no certainty of anything to the recipient. This is a very limited view of the concept and it has very limited workability as well. Counseling ideally should involve getting the individual to confront and communicate with and about the situations in life that they feel they have no control, or reduced control over. Counseling should offer tools and life skills that the individual can use for themselves and observe for themselves whether they work. More importantly, do they work for the individual himself?

 

Rehab Treatment and Addiction

Rehab Treatment
Loved ones often wonder what exactly rehab treatment is. At Narconon Arrowhead the basics of treatment at least can be fairly well understood. There is a drug free withdrawal process where use of all drugs and alcohol finally comes to an end. This is followed by a full detoxification process which actually removes drugs and toxins that have been stored in the fat tissues of the body, often times for years. This results in a marked overall sense of well being for the individual with many reporting drug or alcohol cravings ending during this time. Our rehab treatment also includes a full and comprehensive handling of any further emotional cravings as well as addressing guilt and depression which left unhandled are the major reasons for relapse or continued drug use.
