Medical Drugs and Addiction

Medical Drugs
Medical drugs are generally prescribed as short term solutions in the handling of pain. Many of these medical drugs will build up tolerance in the system requiring increased amounts for the same effect. Thus dependence sets in and one begins taking these at abusive and addictive levels before long. This accounts for drugs like OxyContin being more and more used in illegal black markets to handle addiction to them. Black market illegal use of drugs such as these is outstripping legitimate use and prescription. Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are much the same story with many school age children selling their prescriptions in the school yard. Add the horrific side effects, some of which are life threatening, and what we see is an epidemic rise in the abuse and addiction to prescription medications.

Detoxification and Addiction

Detoxification
Many programs consider withdrawal from the particular drug of addiction to be detoxification. The is only a partial answer and when substitute drugs are given to replace the substance of abuse this is hardly detoxification at all and is often simply trading one substance for another, as in the use of some anti-depressants, or drugs like methadone, etc. Detoxification means to remove drugs, poisons and toxins from the body as fully as possible. Research clearly indicates that these substances will store in the fatty tissues of the body for months and even years. This in part accounts for drugged feeling and cravings appearing long after use has ceased. At Narconon Arrowhead we follow up withdrawal from use with the New Life Detoxification Program. This is state of the art detoxification embracing nutrition, exercise, and sauna routines to flush the stored drugs and toxins from the body. Many of the people completing this detoxification program report a complete handling and end of drug cravings, with rises in intelligence and ability demonstrated by actual test results.

 

Drug Rehabilitation and Addiction

Drug Rehabilitation
A truly effective drug rehabilitation experience involves several factors. First of all of course is the cessation of current drug and alcohol use with a withdrawal process that is as painless as possible both mentally and physically. Second is a truly effective detoxification program which removes stored drugs, toxins, and poisons from the body. The New Life Detoxification Program available at Narconon Arrowhead is state of the art detoxification for Drug Rehabilitation. Third is handling the Cravings (mental and physical), guilt and depression that go hand and hand with addiction. Fourth is the acquiring of life skills needed to live a truly drug free, happy and prosperous life without constant fear of relapse. There are certainly other points of address, but these are the main categories to effective recovery in any drug rehabilitation program. Narconon Arrowhead not only gets the individual clean, but more importantly assists them in acquiring the desire, mental outlook, and actual ability to live drug free for a lifetime!

 

Drug Abuse and Addiction

Drug Abuse
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.
