Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
Heroin addiction, as with any of the opium derivatives, creates a severe physical/mental dependency. With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more and more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. With heroin addiction the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in heroin addiction may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘cold turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Narconon Arrowheads unique approach to withdrawal keeps these symptoms to a minimum and by actual report sometimes totally removes these symptoms.

Addiction support usually comes from counselors, loved ones and co-workers, support group meetings, etc. All of these are valuable and can assist the newly drug free individual maintain a drug free life.

Symptoms of Addiction and Addiction

Symptoms of Addiction
Each drug or substance can of course have its own symptoms of abuse and addiction; however there are a couple of general points that can be made about addiction. Addiction generally is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by physiological and physical dependence with the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the drug or alcohol is rapidly decreased or terminated. When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. With addiction life more and more revolves around getting and using the drugs. Family, health, career, finances, all take more and more of a back seat as important factors in life as the addiction continues to increasingly absorb the addicts attention and energies.

 

Inpatient Rehab and Addiction

Inpatient Rehab
An inpatient rehab is a drug rehab facility where the clients actually reside at the facility for the duration of their treatment programs. This could be for a few days for a withdrawal program, a few days for the shorter programs or 28 day 12 step types of drug rehab. It all depends on the extent and types of services being provided by that particular inpatient rehab. Narconon Arrowhead is an inpatient rehab. Further we are classified as a non-traditional and long term inpatient rehab. Long term can be a bit confusing. At Narconon Arrowhead we operate off of results obtained and not time spent. We are interested in rehabilitation for the individual that last a lifetime. An average of time spent on our program would be 90-120 days. Some take less and some take more, but the ruling viewpoint is as long as it takes to get results for that particular addict or alcoholic.
