Addiction Help
How does one help addiction?
First of course is stopping drug use, normally known as withdrawal.
Second would be a return to physical health and vitality.
At Narconon Arrowhead we take this a step further and deliver the New Life
Detoxification Program to thoroughly rid the body of all stored drugs and toxins.
Third should be gaining the life skills and abilities to fully confront and resolve the three main components of continuing
addiction which are cravings, guilt, and depression. This results in the ability to put an end to drug
addiction and lead a happy, productive, drug free life. There are certainly additional factors that come up and need to be dealt with on a person by person individual level.
Drug Rehab Information By State
A substance
abuse rehab should probably be more correctly labeled a Substance(s)
abuse rehab. The individual has what is called his drug of choice or primary addiction.
Rarely in this day and age does someone come for
addiction treatment without having several substances needing to be addressed. Alcohol abuse is quite commonly mixed with other drugs of abuse such as heroin, cocaine, or meth, to mention only a few.
Prescription
drug abuse is beginning to take on epidemic proportions in the country and throughout the world. Painkillers, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotics are showing up more and more as drugs abused along with street drugs, but are also showing a major increase as being the drug of choice or primary addiction.
These substances can build up tolerance in the system quickly and many have life threatening side effects.
Multiple
drug abuse rehabilitation has become the order of the day.
There are many different types of
rehab programs using many different philosophies and methodologies.
Some are long, some are short, some are drug free, some are advocates of using drug therapies to handle other drug addictions, and some built the individual up, while others tear him down with a philosophy of being diseased for life.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional, completely drug free
rehab program.
We do not operate from the disease concept of
addiction but rather assist the individual in confronting their own cravings, guilt, and depression that are the three main points needing address to resolve
addiction or
alcoholism for a lifetime.
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.
As individuals and loved ones move through a seemingly endless cycle of rehab, relapse, rehab, relapse etc. one cannot but wonder what the solution is.
More and more people are looking for long term drug
rehabilitation as a more viable and lasting solution.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term drug
rehabilitation facility, but we take this even one step further.
Our
rehab services are based on RESULTS and not on time spent.
Ours is a self-paced program to assist the individual in confronting all the factors necessary to go beyond hope and actually achieve a drug free productive lifetime. Average time is around 90-120 days, some take longer. It is not a matter of ‘you have been here X amount of time and now its time for you to go’. It is a matter of getting all the tools, abilities, and skills needed to end all the cravings, and feeling of quilt and depression that are the major reasons behind relapse.
