Drug and Alcohol Rehab
One of the key points in looking for a drug and alcohol
rehab lies in understanding rehabilitation.
The work actually means to return someone or something to a previous state or condition or an improvement of a previous condition.
At Narconon Arrowhead we rehabilitate the individual to a previous condition that has actually been vastly improved.
As previous conditions and situations are what led to
addiction it hardly makes sense to return somebody to that without marked improvement.
Narconon drug and alcohol
rehab is not interested in having someone stop using only to have continuing cravings, guilt, and depression as this is the sure road to continued use and relapse. These points are all fully handled so the individual is capable of a new and improved drug free productive life that lasts a lifetime.
Drug Rehab Information By State
The Encarta dictionary defines drug
abuse as ‘the harmful and illegal non-medicinal use of drugs or alcohol’.
Drug
abuse usually begins in an effort to relieve some sort of pain or discomfort; this could be emotion, mental, or physical.
Many drugs do this, but only temporarily and generally when the drug wears off the pains and discomforts remain, often times worsened.
Since they worked once more drugs are used in an effort to obtain further relief, and since tolerance builds up in most cases more and more of the drug or alcohol is needed.
More and more of the person’s life centers around obtaining and using drugs. The drugs and alcohol have long ceased to cure any problems and have themselves now become the problem. At this point,
drug abuse involves abuse of finances, relationships, health, career, etc. When one handles the reasons for the initial
drug abuse the need for drugs fades away.
What are
rehab centers, and what should
rehab centers do?
If we understand the word rehabilitate to mean ‘restoring to a previous condition’, then we can get an idea of what a
rehab center should do.
Does the
rehab center treat the whole being or just the substance abuse?
Once drug or alcohol use ceases and the person is no longer withdrawing from use the real job of
rehabilitation starts.
Most addicts and alcoholics have a ton of cravings, guilt and depression to deal with. When it comes to restoring the person to a previous condition these important points must be confronted and relief obtained otherwise one is prone to relapse. These three points have been proven to be key points of address in gaining a drug free productive life without constant relapse. Narconon Arrowhead addresses these three points fully and from several different angles to as full a resolution as possible. For the individual
When you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate a
drug overdose can occur.
Most drugs create a tolerance with increasing amounts needed to create the same effects. Drug abusers and addicts are constantly faced with the risk of a drug overdose. There can be a fine line between getting the high they're seeking and overdose leading to serious injury or death. Mixing drugs such as heroin, pills and alcohol is the most common cause of death by overdose.
More and more participants in drug
rehabilitation are reporting multiple drugs being
abuse simultaneously. This vastly increases the medical complications that can result from this dangerous mixing of drug ‘cocktails’.
This is all in
addiction to the sometimes life threatening side effects that can occur from abusing
prescription drugs especially painkillers and anti-depressants.
When searching for an effective
rehab program one can be flooded and confused with all the different options.
How does one sort through this myriad of choices?
The starting point should be experience and success rates. Does the
rehab program you are considering have a track record of success for a period of years?
If it’s not stated, ask.
The goal is a drug free and productive lifestyle that lasts for a lifetime, not merely stopping drug use. Narconon Arrowhead has over 40 years of experience with a success rate often exceeding 70%. This is compared to average of 5-15% for many of the more traditional rehab programs. Whether Narconon Arrowhead is your choice or not, look for and insist on experience, effectiveness, and success rates.
