Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation and Addiction

Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation
The need for truly effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation is becoming ever more vital to American society. One should not come out of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program and still be ‘white-knuckling’ it or constantly worrying about relapse. Families should be able to have faith and trust in the loved ones again on their return home. Narconon Arrowhead drug and alcohol rehabilitation deals in results, and by results we mean a drug free, happy and productive life, not just a little clean time. There are very definite factors (the main ones being continued cravings, guilt, and depression) which lead almost inevitably back to drug use. Narconon handles these with a long term, drug free, non-traditional approach that has a proven track record for over 40 years.

Methadone Addiction and Addiction

Methadone Addiction
As an opiate, regular use of methadone causes physical dependency - if you've been using it regularly (prescribed or not) once you stop you will experience a withdrawal. The physical changes due to the drug are similar to other opiates (like heroin). If you are a woman using methadone you may not have regular periods - but you are still able to conceive. Methadone is a long-acting opioid; it has an effect for up to 36 hours (if you are using methadone you will not withdraw for this period) A Personal story of methadone withdrawal: “I've been on both ends of withdrawals, heroin and methadone, every patient of methadone will always tell you the same, as I do; I can kick heroin anytime, but methadone that is something else. In 15 yrs of heroin addiction, I've kicked 3 times, 'cold-turkey'. In 10 years on methadone I've never kicked methadone.”

 

Drug Rehab Hospitals and Addiction

Drug Rehab Hospitals
When one is searching for car for a loved one afflicted with addiction, one of the first facilities encountered in their search are drug rehab hospitals. These are often sections or departments of a hospital that deal with the acute aspects of addiction. Drug and medications are often used in withdrawal procedures. While these can be sometimes necessary to handle life threatening side effects of withdrawal, they can and often are overused. A full service drug rehab facility is generally more effective at handling drug addiction in the long term. A drug free withdrawal is preferable whenever possible, and of course needs to be decided by competent medical professionals. Drug rehab hospitals generally deal with the beginning stages of the recovery process and handle the immediate dangers of drug and alcohol use cessation. They definitely serve a purpose but are no replacement for a good long term, drug free resolution of all the problems relating to addiction recovery.

 

Long Term Effects of Addiction and Addiction

Long Term Effects of Addiction
Each drug, alcohol or toxin has its own long term effects as the result of abuse and addiction. There are a couple of common denominators however when it comes to the long term effects of addiction. One of these is the fact that these drugs and toxins can store in the fat tissues of the body for weeks, months, and even years after cessation of use. These can account for sometimes uncontrollable cravings for the drug or substance even though it hasn’t been used in sometime. Strong feelings of guilt and depression are also common long term effects of addiction due to sacrificing of integrity and values that accompanies the addictive lifestyle. These three points are common to addictions of all sorts and are the reason for continued use and relapse.
