Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Treatment Facility – Success Story

I’ve finished the last book of this drug rehab program and I feel great. When I got here at Narconon Arrowhead, I hated everyone and everything, including myself. I was at the point where I had no hope for anything, no faith in myself and I thought I was just destined to die as a junkie. After I was in sauna and the drugs were coming out, I got a glimmer of hope here at drug rehab. I started feeling better and my outlook was improving. I know that I can have a successful, sober life and I’m extremely excited to get on with my new life. Thank you! K.K.

Drug Facts and Addiction

Drug Facts
There are common denominators between drugs though each may have its own effects and side effects. All drugs are essentially poisons with the amount taken determining the effect. A small amount of any drug will act as a stimulant (increases activity). A larger amount of any drug will act as a sedative (suppressing activity). A still larger amount poisons and can kill. This is true of any drug and only the amount needed differs. Drugs act to block of sensations, unfortunately this includes desirable sensations as well as unwanted sensations. Though sometimes of short term value in handling pain, they also wipe out ability, alertness, and greatly confuse thinking processes. At an addictive level drugs serve as major sources of numbing mental and physical sensation, while at the same time increasing unwanted attitudes, emotions, sensations, and pains, when attempts are made to cease use.

Morphine Addiction and Addiction

Morphine Addiction
Morphine can be highly addictive with Tolerance, physical, and psychological addiction to Morphine developing quickly. Morphine activates the brain’s reward systems. Activation of the brains’ receptors is very intense, causing the individual to crave Morphine and to focus his or her activities around the taking of Morphine. This causes the added effects of guilt and depression as ones responsibilities and values are compromised in order to obtain the drug. Morphine also reduces a person’s level of consciousness and awareness, harming the ability to think clearly or be fully aware of present surroundings Withdrawal from Morphine causes nausea, tearing, yawning, chills, and sweating lasting up to three days.

 

Medical Drugs and Addiction

Medical Drugs
Medical drugs are generally prescribed as short term solutions in the handling of pain. Many of these medical drugs will build up tolerance in the system requiring increased amounts for the same effect. Thus dependence sets in and one begins taking these at abusive and addictive levels before long. This accounts for drugs like OxyContin being more and more used in illegal black markets to handle addiction to them. Black market illegal use of drugs such as these is outstripping legitimate use and prescription. Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are much the same story with many school age children selling their prescriptions in the school yard. Add the horrific side effects, some of which are life threatening, and what we see is an epidemic rise in the abuse and addiction to prescription medications.

 

Prescription Drug Addictions and Addiction

Prescription Drug Addictions
Prescription drug addictions are on the rise, not only as primary substances of abuse but also as secondary substances of abuse. At Narconon Arrowhead statistics show significant numbers of program participants involved in multiple prescription drug abuse along with any other reported drug addiction or alcoholism. This is no small problem when one takes into account the severe debilitating effects occurring on both the mental and physical levels from the abuse of these ‘medications’. Couple this with severe and often deadly side effects from mixing these substances and the clear rise in violence and suicide that can accompany withdrawal and ones sees a whole new level of treatment needed in handling today’s addictions.
