Drug and alcohol addiction is the root cause to many other societal problems and it costs our country up to $500 billion each year, in addition to the thousands of lives lost, broken homes and drug-related crime.

Drug Rehabs and Addiction

Drug Rehabs
When choosing drug rehabs most people are interested in one main factor – which drug rehab offers the most effective program to help my loved one achieve a lasting drug free lifestyle? Getting an answer to just this one question can be a confusing and daunting task. At Narconon Arrowhead we suggest you look for drug rehabs that are drug free in their approach to addiction treatment. Handling a drug addiction problem with further drugs, even if prescribed or legal ones, just doesn’t make sense. The side-effects alone from some of these substances can escalate the problem beyond imagination. An individual needs to eliminate cravings and deal with guilt and depression in a drug free manner. This is best achieved by learning and applying the necessary skills to comfortably confront the business of living. Look for drug rehabs that build your loved one up, and not tear them down with further drug dependence!

Drug – Methamphetamine and Addiction

Drug – Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine addiction is growing at alarming rates in all areas of the country and has reached epidemic proportions. All drug addiction takes you one of two places unless sobriety for a lifetime is achieved – death or jail. Methamphetamine takes one on this downward slide with alarming speed. Methamphetamine quickly burns up the body’s resources creating horrible dependence that can only be relieved by more of the drug. In 2005, 58% of all U.S. law enforcement personnel identified methamphetamine abuse and addiction as their biggest drug problem.

 

Addiction Recovery and Addiction

Addiction Recovery
At Narconon Arrowhead we apply the word recovery in its fullest sense. We do not operate under the false assumption of once an addict, always an addict. Recovery means to return to a normal state or an improved state following a setback or loss; it also means gaining back something lost. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in addiction recovery which leads to a drug free productive life for a lifetime. Getting the drugs fully out of the body (not just withdrawal), handling the factors of cravings, guilt, and depression so often accompanying and adding to addiction, and the gaining of skills and abilities are all factors leading to full addiction recovery. There is a definite difference between a program that stops drug use, but leaves the underlying reasons untouched, and a program that leads to recovery in the fullest sense of the definitions above.

 

Long Term Effects of Addiction and Addiction

Long Term Effects of Addiction
Each drug, alcohol or toxin has its own long term effects as the result of abuse and addiction. There are a couple of common denominators however when it comes to the long term effects of addiction. One of these is the fact that these drugs and toxins can store in the fat tissues of the body for weeks, months, and even years after cessation of use. These can account for sometimes uncontrollable cravings for the drug or substance even though it hasn’t been used in sometime. Strong feelings of guilt and depression are also common long term effects of addiction due to sacrificing of integrity and values that accompanies the addictive lifestyle. These three points are common to addictions of all sorts and are the reason for continued use and relapse.
