Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab Program

Before I came to Narconon Arrowhead’s Drug Treatment Center, I was a lost, confused soul. I felt that nobody cared about me. My head was confused with crazy thoughts. I was underweight and malnourished. I had a boyfriend with whom I did drugs. I had low self-esteem and I was extremely depressed. Now, after six months, I have completed the drug rehab program here and I have never felt as good as I do now. I am healthy, confident, patient and no longer depressed. I have gotten rid of the bad people in my life such as my boyfriend and some of my friends. I have made new, wonderful friends here at drug rehab who I want always to be in touch with. I want to thank all of the staff for being supportive and patient. E.C.

Addiction Support

Addiction Support
Support generally means to give active support and encouragement to someone or some idea. Addiction support usually comes from counselors, loved ones and co-workers, support group meetings, etc. All of these are valuable and can assist the newly drug free individual maintain a drug free life. But what about addiction support that comes from the individual himself? This is probably the most essential type of support and often the one most in need of. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in helping the individual learn and apply new life skills and abilities which when applied will allow him to pull himself up by his own bootstraps. When this occurs personal certainty and belief begins to skyrocket and the individual attains the physical, mental, and emotional skills vital to sobriety, and knows he can remain clean for real, often for the first time since the addiction began.

Alcohol Treatment and Addiction

Alcohol Treatment
When considering any form of alcohol treatment the following elements of treatment should be looked for in order to insure maximum chance for lasting success without constant reversion or relapse. 1. A safe, gentle cessation and withdrawal from alcohol use. (Medically supervised as needed) 2. A full detoxification of the body to remove metabolites of alcohol or other drugs and toxins from the body. The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program achieves this and many report an end to cravings following this action. 3. Life skill training segments to enable the individual to confront and be freed from feelings of guilt and depression that accompany the alcoholic lifestyle and are very often factors leading up to alcoholism to begin with. 4. The ability to face the present and effectively plan for tomorrow, including repairing what damage one can. When one is feeling better (physically and mentally) and performing better in life without alcohol than with it, then they will cease to require or crave or need alcohol and have a realistic shot at a happy and productive life and future.

 

Rehabilitation Services and Addiction

Rehabilitation Services
When evaluating various rehabilitation services one quite often comes across low success rates which are disheartening at best. The goal of rehabilitation services should be to put the individual in such good shape both mentally and physically that he or she is able to leave addiction behind for a lifetime. Narconon Arrowhead rehabilitation services are geared for the personal and unique needs of each individual. Addressed are areas which include but are not limited to; drug use cessation and withdrawal, full detoxification of the body, handling of cravings, quilt and depression, life skills training to ensure needed tools for a continue drug free life are mastered, Improved abilities to communicate with and control one’s environment and repair past damage, and a host of other factors needing addressed. These are located by extensive interviews, testing, and staff/student interaction. The student is educated and empowered. Rehabilitation services should do just that, serve the individual in confronting and resolving his or her own situation. Abilities gained and tools that work is what Narconon Arrowhead rehabilitation services are all about!

 

Rehab Programs and Addiction

Rehab Programs
Rehab programs come in all sorts of flavors and sizes. There is inpatient vs. outpatient, long term vs. short term, drug free vs. drug use, traditional 12 step vs. non-traditional approaches. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, drug free, non-tradition, inpatient facility. We operate from the viewpoint of results obtained and not time spent. The individual stays until a drug free productive life is obtained. Average time is 90-120 days, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. We are drug free and non-traditional in our approach, never considering replacing one drug with another as anything else but foolishness. Many replacement drugs used are more harmful and potentially addictive than the ones they seek to replace. All rehab programs are not equal, ask questions and insure your loved one is getting what they need to not only get clean, but stay clean.

 

Symptoms of Addiction and Addiction

Symptoms of Addiction
One of the main symptoms of addiction is when the drug use starts controlling the individual instead of the individual controlling the drug use. In real life there is often a very thin line between drug abuse and drug addiction. Both include the compulsive seeking and using of drugs despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. In addiction the addict usually suffers intolerable physical and mental withdrawal when cessation of use is attempted. The addict has at this point fallen fully into the trap of addiction and will sacrifice almost anyone or anything to satisfy the uncontrollable cravings for the drug or alcohol.
