Drug Treatment Program Success Story

This program was like a lost and found. I entered the doors having misplaced every quality and characteristic that composed me, everything that made me a great person. Upon completion of the sauna program I began noticing a change. I was physically feeling great. Then halfway through the program, I began finding all the good qualities that I had lost, one piece at a time. This drug rehab program helped me find myself and provided me with the tools to live in the now, conquer all fears and take charge of my life so I can successfully navigate it into a bright future. In coming to Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Center I found myself, but will leave with an even better me. J.S.

Drug Recovery

Drug Recovery
If recovery means to return to a normal or improved state following a setback or loss then there is much more to drug recovery than just ceasing to use drugs or alcohol. Recovery means to confront and resolve the factors that lead to the drug or alcohol problem to begin with as well as acquiring tools and skills to allow one to move forward in a drug free productive life with constant fear of relapse. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional approach to the problems of drug recovery. Our drug recovery program addresses ALL factors necessary for full recovery from handlings of mental and physical cravings, to a resolution of the guilt and depression that goes hand in hand in leading up to and then continuing addiction or alcoholism.

LSD and Addiction

LSD
LSD is one of the most potent, mood-changing chemicals available. LSD effects are extremely unpredictable. It could be a racing distorted high all the way to severe paranoid and suicidal low. LSD can create severe neurosis and psychosis which can sometimes become permanent. In the 1950’s the western intelligence community was experimenting with LSD as a possible chemical weapon with researchers noting that ‘LSD is capable of rendering whole groups of people, including military forces, indifferent to their surroundings and situations, interfering with planning and judgment and even creating apprehension, uncontrollable confusion and terror’. Experiments continued along these lines until LSD was banned in 1967.

 

Addiction Drug and Addiction

Addiction Drug
Any drug could be an addiction drug if the individual finds himself unable to control the use of it. An addiction drug causes physical addiction, mental addiction, or both. Drugs are essentially poisons. The amount taken determines the effect. A small amount of a given drug acts as a stimulant, a larger dose will act as a depressant, and enough of any particular drug can kill one dead. An addiction drug becomes addictive when the individual’s attempt to handle mental or physical pain becomes dependant on the use of the drug, and the individual craves the relief that only ‘appears’ to come from the use of the substance. The substances in the long run will be found to escalate the discomfort and create new emotional and physical side effects in many cases, thus not only are dosages increased but one often finds himself using new drugs to try and counteract these new side effects. Once an individual is restored to an ability to feel better (mentally and physically) without the use of the drug, then one no longer requires the drug and rehabilitation can progress to an address of the underlying causes.

 

Relapse Disease and Addiction

Relapse Disease
The subjects of relapse and disease are interesting ones when it comes to drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Relapse is not a result of an incurable disease; in fact, addiction is not an incurable disease at all as many would have you believe. Addiction is a condition which is brought about as the result of abuse drugs and alcohol. There are mental, emotional, and physical factors that all contribute to bringing about the condition. Relapse is a result of one or more unhandled factors in the addiction recovery process. The main categories of unhandled items causing relapse are Cravings (mental, emotional, and physical), unhandled guilt, and unhandled depression resulting from addiction. Once these points are fully handled so is the problem of relapse.

 

Drug Symptoms and Addiction

Drug Symptoms
Drug symptoms are various and quite numerous depending on what drug or what combination of drugs are being abused. One thing is clear however – when addiction exists the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the drug use. Some drugs stimulate, some depress, some hallucinate, and all of this can vary widely depending on the types as well as quantities being abused. At Narconon Arrowhead testing and interviews are done concerning drug symptoms, and are then done again and again. The story and the picture of the individuals addiction will then get clearer and clearer and the fog of addiction lifts more and more as the program is progressed through.
