Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Long-term Drug Treatment Center

This drug rehab program has saved my life. I have learned so much. I have learned how to confront and control situations in my life and communicate with other people. The sauna was my favorite part of this drug rehab program. I got to get rid of all the toxins in my body. I felt wonderful once I finished sauna. I have never felt better. I have learned a lot of great technology in the remainder of the program. I have learned about social and anti-social people. With the knowledge I have now have obtained at drug rehab, I know I will flourish and prosper in life. I feel great. J.S.

Drug Abuse and Addiction

Drug Abuse
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.

 

Long Term Addiction and Addiction

Long Term Addiction
Long term addiction is a phrase that could be applied to the condition wherein the addict has continued his addiction despite attempts to terminate it. We all know someone who has tried over and over to beat the addiction. There may have even been multiple visits to drug rehab facilities and just as many relapses following these visits. There are three key factors that lead to long term addiction with continual relapse. These are mental and physical cravings, guilt from all the damage caused, and depression resulting from the shattered hopes and dreams that the addiction has created. An addict is headed either towards, jail, death or sobriety. To achieve lasting sobriety the above three points must be fully resolved. Long term addiction is best addressed in a long term residential treatment environment.

 

Rehab Services and Addiction

Rehab Services
Narconon Arrowhead rehab services focus on regaining a drug free life. As soon as the person has stably withdrawn from drugs or alcohol, he is ready to start gaining the life skills he needs to deal with his problems, instead of wiping them out with drugs or alcohol. He or she must gain basic communication skills and an ability to confront his or her problems, people and life. He or she must also shed the pain and regrets of the past, and learn the practical life skills that make one able to maintain a drug-free life in the future. This is accomplished through the eight phases of the Narconon program.
