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.
Drug Rehab Information By State
The chemical cocaine hydrochloride is commonly known as cocaine. Some users chemically process cocaine in order to remove the hydrochloride. This process is called ‘freebasing’ and makes the drug more potent. ‘Crack’ is a solid form of freebased cocaine. It is called ‘crack’ because it snaps and cracks when heated and smoked.
Traditionally, cocaine was a rich man's drug, due to the large expense of a cocaine habit. Now, crack is being sold at prices low enough that even adolescents can afford to buy it. But, this is misleading, since once a person has a crack cocaine addiction, his ‘habit’ often increases, and so does his expense.
Drug
treatment at Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, drug free and non traditional experience.
Long term because we work not from the viewpoint of time spent, but from the viewpoint of results obtained.
It is self-paced and generally is 90-120 days.
It is drug free as we use no substitute prescriptions drugs to handle an already existing
addiction problem, such as substituting methadone for heroin. (Methadone is actually more harmful and addictive than heroin).
Non-traditional because we do not believe
addiction is a disease that must be borne for a life time. We empower the individual with new skills and abilities that allows for the creation of a lifetime of drug free, happy and productive living.
What can one expect at the Narconon Arrowhead Drug
Rehab Facility?
One can expect a drug free withdrawal with withdrawal symptoms commonly reported to be the lightest and easiest of withdrawals for our participants.
One can expect a full
detoxification of the body using state of the art nutritional, exercise, and sauna technologies.
Most participants report and end to drug cravings at this point.
One can also expect to learn a full array of life skills and gain abilities to resolve feeling of guilt and depression that go hand in hand with addiction. In short one can expect to gain a happy drug free productive life.
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.
