Inpatient Drug Rehabilitation Center
An inpatient drug
rehabilitation center is one where the individual resides at the center for the duration of the treatment, rather than returning home daily.
This is an important factor in resolving drug addiction.
Drug cravings and environmental factors can and more often than not do affect the drug addicts resolve to get clean and fully face the factors that will lead to
rehabilitation for a lifetime. On top of this is 24 hour care when needed.
Another big benefit is the fellowship of recovering addicts and the care and concern that they offer each other.
It may not appear this way when the addict is on the street, but years of experience at Narconon Arrowhead shows that this factor of addict helping addict is vital and major contributing factor to full recovery.
Drug Rehab Information By State
The first challenge of
rehab centers in
addiction treatment is to help the individual with their drug and alcohol cravings.
Cravings are strong, uncontrollable, urges that drive the addict to use over and over.
Some withdrawal symptoms and cravings are caused by poor nutrition and depletion of vitamin stores in the body that the drugs are sucking out of the body.
Depletion of nutrition and vitamins can cause the person to be tired and moody and can also cause shakiness and pain.
The drugs accumulating in the body stress the various systems in the body including nerve systems. At this point more drugs are used in an attempt to alleviate feelings and emotions that the drugs themselves are creating. This is why treating drug
addiction with more drugs only makes the problem worse and is now being rejected as a workable therapy by many
rehab centers.
Drugs effects can and do vary depending on the drug (more often drugs) being abused or addicted to. All create devastating effects on health, families and careers.
There are however 3 common denominators among drug and alcohol
abuse and addiction. First are cravings and the often uncontrollable urge to use again.
Second is the feeling of guilt resulting from the addictive lifestyle and the untold harm created for self, family, friends, and society in general.
Third is the depression that inevitably results from destroyed lives, hopes and dreams.
These three points left unhandled are the cause of any future relapse. If the drug
rehab you are considering doesn’t fully address these three points, find another one!
An inpatient
rehab is a drug
rehab facility where the clients actually reside at the facility for the duration of their
treatment programs.
This could be for a few days for a withdrawal program, a few days for the shorter programs or 28 day 12 step types of drug rehab.
It all depends on the extent and types of services being provided by that particular inpatient rehab.
Narconon Arrowhead is an inpatient rehab.
Further we are classified as a non-traditional and long term inpatient rehab. Long term can be a bit confusing. At Narconon Arrowhead we operate off of results obtained and not time spent. We are interested in
rehabilitation for the individual that last a lifetime. An average of time spent on our program would be 90-120 days. Some take less and some take more, but the ruling viewpoint is as long as it takes to get results for that particular addict or alcoholic.
Executive Director of Narconon Arrowhead Gary W. Smith reports, ‘Although the number of people coming to us who are abusing pot is a smaller percentage of our total clientele, in the 30 years I have been in the drug
rehabilitation field I have not seen these numbers of individuals literally hooked on marijuana and unable to stop on their own.
We’ve known for a long time that marijuana use can lead to other drugs but it is shocking to see people whose lives are being destroyed by smoking pot just like others we are treating who are addicted to crack or alcohol.
I believe this is happening because the strength of the pot that is being smoked today is probably ten times stronger than the pot of 20 years ago.’
