Alcohol Abuse
Any
treatment for
addiction usually includes handling alcohol abuse.
There is of course
alcoholism itself, which is simply the name given to alcohol addiction.
In addition to this, statistics at Narconon Arrowhead show that alcohol
abuse quite often accompanies other drug
addictions and must be handled as well.
The idea that one can quit his drug of choice but still
abuse alcohol is a dangerous idea.
As drugs or alcohol are generally used as crutches for painful situations (mental or physical) in ones life, substituting one drug for another (including alcohol) can be seen as no solution at all. Effective handling of alcohol abuse, or any other substance abuse, involves confronting and controlling those life situations that are creating the need or desire to escape through alcohol or drugs. When one can be more comfortable in life without drugs or alcohol than with them, then the need or desire for them will cease.

At Narconon Arrowhead drug
treatment does not include further drugs or medications in an attempt to handle already existing drug
abuse and
addiction problems. Narconon Arrowhead is a drug free, long-term, non-traditional, residential
treatment facility.
Narconon Arrowhead believes in fully handling the factors of cravings, quilt, and depression.
These three factors have been proven over and over again to be the main stumbling blocks in not only ceasing drug
addiction but also in achieving a drug free lifetime that lasts for a lifetime.
Substituting one substance for another is not a workable answer or a substitute for actually confronting and handling the underlying mental, emotional, and physical reasons that led up to and then continued the addiction.
Cravings (both mental and physical) for increasing and continuing use of drugs and alcohol.
Guilt as a result of all the harm and damage done to self, loved ones, and others.
Depression resulting from failed hopes and dreams, and the feelings of being trapped in a vicious cycle with no escape.
These are the points that must be handled by a drug and alcohol
rehab center if that
treatment is to be effective and create change for a lifetime.
An effective drug and alcohol
rehab center knows there is much more to
treatment than merely getting someone to quit using. At Narconon Arrowhead we know there are only three paths available once
addiction or
alcoholism has set in – jail, death, or sobriety. A drug and alcohol free life is possible without constant worry of relapse.
Addiction is a chronic, relapsing condition, characterized by compulsive drug-seeking and
drug use which is accompanied by functional and molecular changes in the brain. In addition to being addicted to methamphetamine, chronic methamphetamine abusers exhibit symptoms that can include violent behavior, anxiety, confusion, and insomnia. They also can display a number of psychotic features, including paranoia, auditory hallucinations, mood disturbances, and delusions. The paranoia can result in homicidal as well as suicidal thoughts. With chronic use, tolerance for methamphetamine can develop. Users may take higher doses of the drug, take it more frequently, or change their method of drug intake. In some cases, abusers forego food and sleep while injecting as much as a gram of the drug every 2 to 3 hours over several days until the user runs out of the drug or is too disorganized to continue. Chronic
abuse can lead to psychotic behavior, characterized by intense paranoia, visual and auditory hallucinations, and out-of-control rages that can be coupled with extremely violent behavior.
