Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program Success Story - Narconon Arrowhead

I came to Narconon Arrowhead's Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program some weeks ago and it’s the first time 15 years I’ve been sober from drugs and alcohol. The major success I’ve noticed is how great I feel, how healthy and clear-minded I am and that finally after living about half my life in a haze of chemicals, how much I missed out on and overlooked and never fully enjoyed. Though life has been good to me for allowing me a second chance I look forward to living the rest of it drug free and clear from the haze I have been in for so many years. E.C.

Alcohol Rehabilitation and Addiction

Alcohol Rehabilitation
Alcohol rehabilitation of course involves the cessation of all alcohol use. Alcoholic generally have all sorts of reasons and rationale for drinking. Many, many try to control their drinking and only end up putting off the inevitable. Alcoholism can only end in one of three ways – death, jail, or sobriety. There really are no other options. Many times alcoholics will be involved in other substance abuse, often unknown or unsuspected by family or loved ones. Whether it is alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both, the three factors needing fully and competently addressed are the cravings, guilt, and depression that are hand and hand with any addiction.

Drug Treatment and Addiction

Drug Treatment
The drug treatment program at Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, drug free and non-traditional approach to handling drug addiction with a 76% success rate. Addiction is no unraveled in 28 days. Each person progresses at their own pace, usually completing the Narconon program in three to four months. This gives them the time and support they need to actually rebuild a new life from the ground up to replace the one that was destroyed by drugs or alcohol. The end result for the family is that they have their loved one back. The end result for the graduate is a drug free life, free also from cravings, depression and guilt.

 

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in regular abusers may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘old turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal is considered much less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal.

 

Rehab Treatment and Addiction

Rehab Treatment
Loved ones often wonder what exactly rehab treatment is. At Narconon Arrowhead the basics of treatment at least can be fairly well understood. There is a drug free withdrawal process where use of all drugs and alcohol finally comes to an end. This is followed by a full detoxification process which actually removes drugs and toxins that have been stored in the fat tissues of the body, often times for years. This results in a marked overall sense of well being for the individual with many reporting drug or alcohol cravings ending during this time. Our rehab treatment also includes a full and comprehensive handling of any further emotional cravings as well as addressing guilt and depression which left unhandled are the major reasons for relapse or continued drug use.
