Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Treatment Facility – Success Story
I’ve finished the last book of this drug rehab program and I feel great. When I got here at Narconon Arrowhead, I hated everyone and everything, including myself. I was at the point where I had no hope for anything, no faith in myself and I thought I was just destined to die as a junkie. After I was in sauna and the drugs were coming out, I got a glimmer of hope here at drug rehab. I started feeling better and my outlook was improving. I know that I can have a successful, sober life and I’m extremely excited to get on with my new life. Thank you! K.K.
12 Step Program
The
12 step program has been around in various forms since the 1920’s.
It basically involves 12 different steps done by the addict or
alcoholic in an attempt to gain control over the
addiction or alcoholism.
There are thousands of local meetings throughout the world whose membership uses the 12 steps as their basic approach.
Many of the short term
drug rehabs also use the 12 step approach to solving
addiction or alcoholism.
There is absolutely no doubt that this approach works for some and works well. However, overall success rates tend to be dismally low. For instance AA reports a meager 5-7% retention rate for those attending these meetings. All is not hopeless for you or a loved one who has found a
12 step program not fully handling addiction or alcoholism. There are more non-traditional alternatives available with significantly higher success rates; Narconon Arrowhead is one of these.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Helping the individual create a drug free productive life that lasts a lifetime is the goal of the Narconon Arrowhead drug
rehab center. We are a long term drug
rehab center and operate from a viewpoint that it is results that count not the amount of time spent.
Average stay is from 90 – 120 days depending on the needs of each individual.
As a full service
drug rehab center we address areas of health, nutrition,
detoxification with extended and comprehensive attention given to the factors of cravings, guilt and depression which are the factors behind relapse or continued use. With a 76% success rate Narconon Arrowhead knows what it takes for a
drug rehab center to get lasting results.
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.
Support generally means to give active support and encouragement to someone or some idea.
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.
But what about
addiction support that comes from the individual himself?
This is probably the most essential type of support and often the one most in need of. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in helping the individual learn and apply new life skills and abilities which when applied will allow him to pull himself up by his own bootstraps. When this occurs personal certainty and belief begins to skyrocket and the individual attains the physical, mental, and emotional skills vital to sobriety, and knows he can remain clean for real, often for the first time since the
addiction began.
What is drug
abuse and how is it different from drug addiction?
In fact there is a very fine line between these two and the term drug
abuse is in facto drug addition but it seems less devastating to say drug abuse. Both involve the use of drugs to the point of creating adverse affects to ones health, relationships, career, mental outlook, etc.
Addiction usually implies a compulsive uncontrolled used despite these effects being created.
If one is continuing to
abuse drugs despite the adverse consequences then there really is not much of a difference.
It is mostly a matter of which term one chooses to use.
Both will eventually lead to one of three outcomes – Jail, Death, or Sobriety. I suppose if you had to make a distinction you could say
addiction is closer to jail or death.
