Alcoholic
The term ‘Alcoholic’ is simply the name given to someone addicted to alcohol.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
All the various formulas regarding how many drinks, how often, are meaningless when reviewed against the above definition.
The compulsive seeking and use could be by the minute, hour, day, etc.
The key is compulsive seeking and use, despite what it does to self, family, or career. It is not that the
alcoholic doesn’t care; it is that the use has become compulsive and the cravings, guilt, and depression keep him or her drinking.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Illegal drugs are those drugs which have no approved medical use.
These are the drugs one usually thinks of when he thinks of drug
abuse or drug addiction.
These drugs certainly are creating widespread
abuse and addiction; however,
prescription drugs such as painkillers, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotics are increasingly showing up as drugs of abuse and addiction.
They are appearing as the primary drugs of use as well as more and more often showing up as additional drugs of abuse in
addiction treatment facilities.
The debilitating effects of these
illegal drugs and
prescription drugs can be life threatening and even fatal. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in a drug free approach to creating drug free lives.
Addiction is handled fully at all levels and with all substances. Our 76% success rate speaks for itself.
Narconon Arrowhead
rehab services focus on regaining a drug free life. As soon as the person has stably withdrawn from drugs or alcohol, he is ready to start gaining the life skills he needs to deal with his problems, instead of wiping them out with drugs or alcohol. He or she must gain basic communication skills and an ability to confront his or her problems, people and life. He or she must also shed the pain and regrets of the past, and learn the practical life skills that make one able to maintain a drug-free life in the future. This is accomplished through the eight phases of the Narconon program.
All drug
rehab programs are not created equal; there are many different types and formats. There are long term, short term, in-patient, out-patient, traditional 12 step, and non traditional to name but a few.
One big difference to be aware of is whether or not the drug
rehab programs you may be looking at are drug free or whether the program embraces the use of other or substitute or additional drugs and ‘medications’ in an effort to control or alleviate addiction. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non traditional, drug free approach to the problems of
abuse and addiction.
These points set us apart from many of the other
drug rehab programs available. We start with the assumption that the being is basically good and despite any appearances to the contrary actually wants to attain a completely drug free productive life.
The Narconon program embraces many, many different factors that stop or inhibit the individual from reaching this goal. The majority of Narconon staff are ex-addicts and alcoholics themselves and know what it takes to get lasting results – we’ve been there!
When examining the various
drug rehab programs look for one thing – LASTING results and success.
What goes into creating the best drug
rehab possible?
In putting together the Narconon Arrowhead program with success rates far and above the current norms we have isolated what we consider some key components.
First is a full handling of cravings, guilt, and depression which are the three blocks to any
addiction recovery and statistics show that without these three handled the individual has a much greater risk of relapse.
Narconon technology handles each of these.
Also important is a long term residential
treatment facility where the individual is able to attack each of these points to a full resolution as opposed to have a couple of weeks or 28 days of clean time. A drug free environment is also essential. Substituting one drug or substance in hopes of handling another drug or substance makes no sense and is an endless downward spiral leading to more addiction. A drug free productive life should be the goal of anyone claiming to be the best drug rehab, not simply changing drugs.
