Drug Rehab Information By State
Many times someone’s personal opinions, or pet theories gets mixed up with actual
addiction facts and this is often confusing to someone trying to understand addiction.
Probably a good starting point is a solid definition of what
addiction is.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and using of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
When addiction exists, the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
Court ordered drug
rehab can present unique situations to the handling of addiction.
At times you will see the individual agreeing to a drug
rehab treatment program simply to avoid jail.
While this is better than no motivation at all it is far better for the individual to have a personal desire to end their
addiction and live a drug free life.
This is a personal choice made by the individual.
Although a court ordered
drug rehab can be more resistant, even these cases can be handled using the correct technology. Long term, non-traditional programs tend to work better in these cases as a basic desire needs to be created and nurtured. Narconon Arrowhead is such a program.
In addition to the barrier to recovery presented by guilt, there are two further obstacles that must be overcome on the way to lasting and lifetime recovery. These two barriers are cravings and depression. Without finding a program that addresses all three barriers,
rehabilitation efforts may continue to disappoint.
The Narconon program is based on research and breakthroughs in the field of drug
rehabilitation completed by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. After intense research into the effects of drugs, he discovered what it would take to enable a person to recover from
addiction -physically, morally, mentally and spiritually. Over the next forty years, these researches were refined by Mr. Hubbard and the Narconon staff into the Narconon program that exists today, with a success rate over 70 %.
As an opiate, regular use of methadone causes physical dependency - if you've been using it regularly (prescribed or not) once you stop you will experience a withdrawal. The physical changes due to the drug are similar to other opiates (like heroin). If you are a woman using methadone you may not have regular periods - but you are still able to conceive. Methadone is a long-acting opioid; it has an effect for up to 36 hours (if you are using methadone you will not withdraw for this period) A Personal story of methadone withdrawal:
“I've been on both ends of withdrawals, heroin and methadone, every patient of methadone will always tell you the same, as I do; I can kick heroin anytime, but methadone that is something else. In 15 yrs of heroin addiction, I've kicked 3 times, 'cold-turkey'. In 10 years on methadone I've never kicked methadone.”
