A Drug Addiction Program Success Story

I’ve gotten so much from doing this drug rehab program. I’ve gotten myself back and I feel a new calming sense that I’ve never felt before. Thanks to everyone at Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Center. J.H.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Center

Inpatient Rehabilitation Center
An inpatient rehabilitation center, other points being equal, is superior to an outpatient center when it comes to effectively handling substance abuse and addiction. Inpatient is where the client resides at the rehabilitation center as opposed to commuting. One reason it is more effective is simply being able to remove the individual from the environment where the addiction was running out of control. Away from dealers, family and job stresses, and any other triggers. Another reason is being among like minded peers who are seeking real and workable answers. There are of course differences in willingness and desire to achieve a drug free life. At Narconon Arrowhead, which is an inpatient rehabilitation center, we have seen the benefits of one addict truly caring about and assisting another addict to many times to discount this. It is a major benefit of rehabilitation - The ability to help and be helped in return.

Addiction Drug and Addiction

Addiction Drug
Any drug could be an addiction drug if the individual finds himself unable to control the use of it. An addiction drug causes physical addiction, mental addiction, or both. Drugs are essentially poisons. The amount taken determines the effect. A small amount of a given drug acts as a stimulant, a larger dose will act as a depressant, and enough of any particular drug can kill one dead. An addiction drug becomes addictive when the individual’s attempt to handle mental or physical pain becomes dependant on the use of the drug, and the individual craves the relief that only ‘appears’ to come from the use of the substance. The substances in the long run will be found to escalate the discomfort and create new emotional and physical side effects in many cases, thus not only are dosages increased but one often finds himself using new drugs to try and counteract these new side effects. Once an individual is restored to an ability to feel better (mentally and physically) without the use of the drug, then one no longer requires the drug and rehabilitation can progress to an address of the underlying causes.

 

Marijuana Addiction and Addiction

Marijuana Addiction
Many people and even professionals hold the opinion that marijuana is not addictive. This is simply a misunderstanding and not true. Marijuana addiction, especially on a mental or emotional level has been on the increase in terms of numbers and severity for some time. The potency of marijuana such as Canadian ‘BC Bud’ and hydroponically engineered pot is many times that of the marijuana of past days. Inability of users to control their use of this substance and Narconon Arrowhead statistics show a steady increase in the number of program participants with marijuana as their main drug of abuse and addiction.

 

Rehab Patient and Addiction

Rehab Patient
At Narconon Arrowhead we do not use the term rehab patient when referring to our program participants. Instead we use the word “student” as it more accurately reflects what is occurring in our program. At Narconon Arrowhead once withdrawal from use is achieved and is followed by a full bodily detoxification then student is then ready to gain the life skills and abilities needed to pursue a drug free productive life. Cravings, guilt and depression must be confronted, dealt with, and eliminated is one is to achieve a lasting drug free existence. These skills and abilities can be learned and successfully applied. Our students enjoy a 76% success rate that speaks for itself.

 

After Drug Rehab and Addiction

After Drug Rehab
Ideally, what should follow after drug rehab treatment? The cravings to use drugs or alcohol should be fully handled and not constantly recurring. The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program removes the drugs and toxins that have been lodged in the body for years with most participants reporting an end to cravings at this point. The guilt and depression that goes hand and hand with addiction should be addressed and relieved, so as not to constantly haunt the individual. The Narconon life skills segment of the program has several phases that address exactly these points bringing much needed relief and going a long way towards restoring normal relationships and even improving on them. When the factors causing addiction are fully addressed the door is opened to a drug free and productive life.
