Narconon Arrowhead Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center Success Story
Wow! I never thought I would be 120 days sober, ever again in my life, but thanks to the Narconon Arrowhead Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center, this has happened. Furthermore, I look forward to increasing that number every day. Before I came here to drug rehab I was lost in a sea of hopelessness. I knew how to be an addict and that’s about it. I never admitted to myself that I had a problem. My family was slowly throwing me away. In a matter of three months, I did a 180-degree turnaround in almost every aspect of my life. I’m comfortable in my environment and with myself. I’m able to communicate and confront. Best of all, I know how to stay sober. I am so excited about my future here and with my family and friends. I have my dreams back! E.V.
Symptoms of Addiction
Each drug or substance can of course have its own symptoms of
abuse and addiction; however there are a couple of general points that can be made about addiction.
Addiction generally is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by physiological and physical dependence with the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the drug or alcohol is rapidly decreased or terminated.
When
addiction exists, the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
With
addiction life more and more revolves around getting and using the drugs.
Family, health, career, finances, all take more and more of a back seat as important factors in life as the addiction continues to increasingly absorb the addicts attention and energies.
Drug Rehab Information By State
An outpatient
rehab is a drug
treatment facility where the individual goes for
treatment and then returns home at the end of the day. It could be the personal goes for a
counseling session, or perhaps a seminar.
All day seminars are often used as well.
These offer viable services for those with a lighter
abuse problem or as a starting point for full treatment. One thing that should be watched for in medical outpatient rehabs is the use of additional drugs in a mistaken attempt to handle the current drug problem, such as methadone.
For most with a serious drug
abuse and
addiction problem an impatient and more long term treatment program is more effective, though outpatient treatment can be a good beginning if chosen carefully.
Boy, what a mouthful that is!
What are we talking about here?
Well, inpatient refers to a facility where the individual actually resides at the facility as opposed to commuting daily from home.
Rehabilitation refers to restoring someone to a previous or improved state or condition.
Alcohol
treatment is of course handling the elements that have resulted in alcohol
abuse and or alcoholism. This generally involves withdrawal from use and at Narconon Arrowhead goes on to include full bodily
detoxification as well as multi-faceted approaches to actually handling and resolving the three main factors contributing to relapse – cravings, guilt, and depression. Finally, ‘center’ refers to bringing all the above points together. Some centers only offer one or another of the above elements. When looking for truly effective alcohol
rehabilitation look for as comprehensive a program as possible to ensure maximum success.
Alcoholic Anonymous statistics show a retention rate of 5 – 7%.
12 step
treatment options definitely work for some but not all by a long ways.
Many shorter term inpatient alcohol
treatment centers are based on 12 step methodologies and as such often suffer from the same low retention and success rates.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term inpatient alcohol
treatment center that used the more effective but less traditional methods of education and empowerment.
We do not treat
alcoholism as an incurable disease that one is stuck with for life. Our success rates show that when the factors of cravings, guilt and depression are fully confronted and resolved that the need and desire for alcohol, or other substances for that matter, fades into the past as a motivating factor.
At Narconon Arrowhead drug
treatment does not include further drugs or medications in an attempt to handle already existing drug
abuse and
addiction problems. Narconon Arrowhead is a drug free, long-term, non-traditional, residential
treatment facility.
Narconon Arrowhead believes in fully handling the factors of cravings, quilt, and depression.
These three factors have been proven over and over again to be the main stumbling blocks in not only ceasing drug
addiction but also in achieving a drug free lifetime that lasts for a lifetime.
Substituting one substance for another is not a workable answer or a substitute for actually confronting and handling the underlying mental, emotional, and physical reasons that led up to and then continued the addiction.
