Rehab Centers and Addiction

Rehab Centers
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.

Methamphetamine Addiction and Addiction

Methamphetamine Addiction
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.

Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Addiction

Drug and Alcohol Treatment
The correct choice of drug and alcohol treatment is a life altering and (more often than not) a life saving choice. Here are some of our suggestions at Narconon Arrowhead for what to look for in drug and alcohol treatment regardless of whether you choose Narconon Arrowhead or not. First, find a program that is drug free including withdrawal (except when medically needed). Handling addiction with more drugs just doesn’t make good sense. Second find a program that offers full detoxification in addition to withdrawal only. Stored drugs and toxins can account for cravings and relapse months or even years after last use. Third in our list of most important drug and alcohol treatment needs is a treatment that fully addresses guilt and depression which almost always accompany drug or alcohol addiction, and in fact can be major factors that led up to the drug or alcohol abuse to begin with. These are of course not a complete list, but are starting points when exploring various treatment options.
