Detox and Addiction

Detox
Detox in many drug rehab programs involves weaning the addict or alcoholic off the use of the drugs or alcohol. While this is an important and vital action, it is only part of a true detoxification. One definition in the Encarta dictionary states; ‘process of removing or transforming poison’. At Narconon Arrowhead our ‘detox’ protocols include ceasing use of the drugs or alcohol as above, but also include the additional step of The New Life Detoxification Program. This extensive program involves an exact procedure for actually removing drugs and toxins from the body. Many, many addicts have reported a complete cessation of cravings following the New Life Detoxification Program. Detox is only the start of the healing process and needs to be as complete and thorough as possible to ensure lasting gains for a lifetime.

Drug and Alcohol Rehabs and Addiction

Drug and Alcohol Rehabs
How does Narconon Arrowhead compare to other drug and alcohol rehabs? We are a long-term residential facility where the individual progress is measured by results and not time spent. Unlike some drug and alcohol rehabs we are a drug free facility. This means no substitute mood altering drugs or substances used in an effort to alleviate some other drug. We follow this up with a full detoxification program designed to remove the actual stored quantities of drugs and toxins from the body. Many short term drug and alcohol rehabs deal mainly in getting the person clean and teaching him how to live as an addict or alcoholic. Narconon Arrowhead deals with terminatedly handling the addiction or alcoholism and giving the individual the skills, abilities, health, and personal certainty to live a drug free and productive life.

 

Addiction Intervention and Addiction

Addiction Intervention
Addiction intervention refers to an action undertaken in order to change what is happening or might happen concerning another’s addiction, especially in order to prevent something undesirable. Many addicts are so oblivious to the effects they are creating on themselves, their health, their loved ones and co-workers that it takes serious intervention in order to get through to them the need that they get help NOW. In most cases it is not that they don’t care, though it may appear this way, but they are simply not aware of what is happening to them and around them. At Narconon Arrowhead we have intake counselors who can guide you on the type of intervention needed at any given point in the process of getting a loved one into rehab. We have been there and know what it takes and the best way to go about it

 

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in regular abusers 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 (‘old turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal is considered much less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal.
