Methamphetamine Addiction
Methamphetamine comes in many forms and can be smoked, snorted, orally ingested, or injected. The drug alters moods in different ways, depending on how it is taken. Immediately after smoking the drug or injecting it, the user experiences an intense rush or ‘flash’ that lasts only a few minutes. Snorting or oral ingestion produces euphoria -- a high but not an intense rush. As with similar stimulants, methamphetamine most often is used in a ‘binge and crash’ pattern. Because tolerance for methamphetamine occurs within minutes -- meaning that the pleasurable effects disappear even before the drug concentration in the blood falls significantly -- users try to maintain the high by binging on the drug.
Drug Rehab Information By State
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 As soon as the person has stably withdrawn from drugs or alcohol, he is ready to start gaining the life skills he needs to deal with his problems, instead of wiping them out with drugs or alcohol.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.
When one is preparing to make a decision on
rehab care for self or a loved one, one usually has a strong interest in exactly what extent and
type of care is being provided by the drug
rehab facility being considered.
These are valid questions which should be answered to one’s full satisfaction and understanding by the registration personnel of the facility.
Is it long term or short term?
Traditional or non-traditional, drug free or are drugs used in an attempt to handle other drug problems? Is there a full
detoxification procedure in addition to the withdrawal process or is it withdrawal process? Get these questions and all the other’s you may have answered to your full satisfaction.
Substance
abuse treatment on any type begins to be more and more effective as the addict or
alcoholic becomes more and more willing to be helped and to help themselves.
Most interventions prior to
treatment have this goal in mind, to get at least some willingness on the part of the addict.
This willingness is often tenuous and fleeting at the start of substance
abuse treatment.
Part of effective withdrawal would be the actions taken to extrovert the addict from current pains and discomforts that can and do play havoc with any willingness.
At Narconon Arrowhead our
substance abuse treatment continually involves fortifying the existing willingness of the participant as well as actions designed to increase willingness all along the way. The being himself always is seeking to do better and beat the
addiction despite any appearances, statements, or actions to the contrary. The more the addict wins at the battles of
addiction the more willing he becomes and the more energy he will expend on his own survival. Substance abuse treatment is about much more than simply ceasing drug or alcohol use.
Drug
addiction treatment to be effective needs to help and guide the individual in confronting and gaining the skills and abilities needed to resolve all areas of their lives – not merely ceasing their
drug use which is only the beginning. Personal issues of nutrition and gaining a healthy balance need to be addressed.
Issues of cravings, quilt, and depression resulting from
addiction need confronted and relieved, legal issues often exist.
Broken or strained relationships in the family and workplace need resolved.
The issue of how the addict gets on with his life in a drug free and productive manner, and be happy and fulfilled doing so, can be one of the biggest issues of all.
Addicts and alcoholics are often quite concerned about being miserable and suffering without the drugs or alcohol. Narconon Arrowhead is an empowering program that assists the individual in resolving each of these situations as well as others he or she may have. We don’t enforce or insist rather we help, guide, and assist the individual in finding their own unique answers that will work and more importantly continue to work for them. This helps insure a continuing drug free life as their solutions are theirs and not something dictated or enforced on them.
