Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab Program

Before I came to Narconon Arrowhead’s Drug Treatment Center, I was a lost, confused soul. I felt that nobody cared about me. My head was confused with crazy thoughts. I was underweight and malnourished. I had a boyfriend with whom I did drugs. I had low self-esteem and I was extremely depressed. Now, after six months, I have completed the drug rehab program here and I have never felt as good as I do now. I am healthy, confident, patient and no longer depressed. I have gotten rid of the bad people in my life such as my boyfriend and some of my friends. I have made new, wonderful friends here at drug rehab who I want always to be in touch with. I want to thank all of the staff for being supportive and patient. E.C.

Drug Rehab and Addiction

Drug Rehab
Cravings are extremely powerful urges to use drugs or alcohol again. When triggered,they often cause a person to imagine all kinds of reasons they should begin using drugs or drinking again. Once he or she has relapsed, the addict is now trapped in an endless cycle of trying to quit, craving, relapse and fear of withdrawal. In many drug rehab programs, these cravings are addressed by administering medications that prevent the onset of withdrawal, and that replace the body’s need for the original drug with a substitute substance. The problem with this approach is that the body’s cravings are masked by the substitute drug and are not eliminated and the individual is not learning to build a new drug-free life. If the medication is dropped, the cravings show up and the person is very likely to lose the battle to stay off his or her drug of choice.

 

Chemical Dependency and Addiction

Chemical Dependency
Per the Encarta dictionary chemical dependency is addiction to a chemical substance or drug. Dependency can be further defined as the mental or physical need to use a drug or other substance regularly, despite the fact that they are likely to have a damaging effect. Chemical dependency knows no educational, class, race, or social bounds. Most chemical dependency starts out as an attempt to handle some sort of physical or emotional problem. Some do offer small relief in the short term. The problem enters as more and more use occurs. The very problems originally trying to be solved are now being perpetuated and amplified by the drug use. The individual can not confront perceived pain (emotional or physical) that he feels will come from not using.

Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment
There are three key components to any alcohol and drug abuse treatment. These are a full address of and handling for cravings, guilt, and depression. Without a full resolution of these three factors one cannot expect real and lasting results from any alcohol and drug abuse treatment. These are the three points that have lead up to the addiction or alcoholism and are the three main points that create the continuation of the addiction or alcoholism. When it comes to addiction or alcoholism there are only three choices – jail, death, or sobriety, there really are no other options. Lasting sobriety can be obtained through a full handling of cravings, guilt, and depression.
