Drug Addiction Treatment Program Success Story

Before I came here to Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Addiction Treatment Program, I was getting divorced and my house was for sale. Now, after all the time that I’ve spent here at drug rehab, my wife notices the changes in me and we are not getting divorced. We are working things out between us and we are going to go to a marriage counselor to make things better between us. I’m really glad that I found this drug rehab to change my life for the better. P.S.

Addiction Facts and Addiction

Addiction Facts
Many times someone’s personal opinions, or pet theories gets mixed up with actual addiction facts and this is often confusing to someone trying to understand addiction. Probably a good starting point is a solid definition of what addiction is. Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and using of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.

Rehab Centers and Addiction

Rehab Centers
The first challenge of rehab centers in addiction treatment is to help the individual with their drug and alcohol cravings. Cravings are strong, uncontrollable, urges that drive the addict to use over and over. Some withdrawal symptoms and cravings are caused by poor nutrition and depletion of vitamin stores in the body that the drugs are sucking out of the body. Depletion of nutrition and vitamins can cause the person to be tired and moody and can also cause shakiness and pain. The drugs accumulating in the body stress the various systems in the body including nerve systems. At this point more drugs are used in an attempt to alleviate feelings and emotions that the drugs themselves are creating. This is why treating drug addiction with more drugs only makes the problem worse and is now being rejected as a workable therapy by many rehab centers.

 

Cannabis Addiction and Addiction

Cannabis Addiction
Executive Director of Narconon Arrowhead Gary W. Smith reports, ‘Although the number of people coming to us who are abusing pot is a smaller percentage of our total clientele, in the 30 years I have been in the drug rehabilitation field I have not seen these numbers of individuals literally hooked on marijuana and unable to stop on their own. We’ve known for a long time that marijuana use can lead to other drugs but it is shocking to see people whose lives are being destroyed by smoking pot just like others we are treating who are addicted to crack or alcohol. I believe this is happening because the strength of the pot that is being smoked today is probably ten times stronger than the pot of 20 years ago.’

 

Drug Treatment and Addiction

Drug Treatment
At Narconon Arrowhead drug treatment does not include further drugs or medications in an attempt to handle already existing drug abuse and addiction problems. Narconon Arrowhead is a drug free, long-term, non-traditional, residential treatment facility. Narconon Arrowhead believes in fully handling the factors of cravings, quilt, and depression. These three factors have been proven over and over again to be the main stumbling blocks in not only ceasing drug addiction but also in achieving a drug free lifetime that lasts for a lifetime. Substituting one substance for another is not a workable answer or a substitute for actually confronting and handling the underlying mental, emotional, and physical reasons that led up to and then continued the addiction.
