Drug and Alcohol Addiction Rehabilitation Center Success Story

I have had such wins here at the Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehabilitation Center, it is just unbelievable. I had led a pretty productive and good life until I got into the world of drugs. I have used cocaine for the last three years heavily, and to the point I was eating out of garbage cans, stealing for my next fix, hurting and taking from those who loved me most. However, with this drug rehab program, I have learned how to live a productive life again. I have found my integrity, my morals, self-respect and those values I once lost. I can now respect myself and have respect for those around me. This drug rehab experience has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. T.H.

Drug Use and Addiction

Drug Use
Drugs are used in an attempt to handle pain, be it emotional or physical or both. The person decides to use a drug or alcohol to reduce discomfort derived from the problem or pain and finds only limited relief but now assigns value to the drug. Thus he returns to the drug or alcohol for more and more use. At best the drugs simply mask the symptoms of emotional or physical pain. As time goes on the drug or alcohol is used more and more and tolerance for the drug increased the quantity needed to achieve the same results. Often before the person is really aware of it he now addicted and craves this relief all the time and will do whatever is necessary to obtain the drug or alcohol. The debilitating effects of the drugs can and do create more and more mental and physical problems and pains which often leads to the use of other addictive drugs in an endless downward spiral.

Alcohol Addiction and Addiction

Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol addiction goes by the more commonly used term of alcoholism. Make no mistake about it; this is an addiction pure and simple. 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. Alcohol is a very common substance of abuse, accompanying the main drug of addiction, in the case of multiple substance abuse. Conversely, other drugs are commonly involved with alcohol addiction as well. The common denominators to all these addictions are cravings, guilt, and depression and are the three factors needing addressed in order to obtain a drug free and productive life.

 

Crystal Meth Addiction and Addiction

Crystal Meth Addiction
With chronic use, tolerance for methamphetamine can develop. In an effort to intensify the desired effects, 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 indulging in a form of binging known as a ‘un’, 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. Although there are no physical manifestations of a withdrawal syndrome when methamphetamine use is stopped, there are several symptoms that occur when a chronic user stops taking the drug. These include depression, anxiety, fatigue, paranoia, aggression, and an intense craving for the drug.

 

Addiction Rehab and Addiction

Addiction Rehab
Rehabilitate means to return to a previous condition or an improvement of even that. An addiction rehab that is truly effective will bypass restoring the individual to a previous condition and go straight for an improvement of even that. The reasoning is relatively simple. The previous condition obviously contributed to and led up to the drug abuse and addiction to begin with. If one is trying to insure a drug free productive condition that will last a lifetime than one better locate, address, and fully resolve those past factors that contributed to and let up to the addiction initially and then kept it going.
