Addiction Recovery
There are several things necessary in order to affect
addiction recovery for a life time.
One of these is a drug free withdrawal and full
detoxification program.
Substitute or maintenance drugs are not a viable long term option.
Ask any heroin addict who is now using methadone in addition to heroin, or ask any meth addict who now finds themselves abusing anti-depressants on a regular basis.
Using additional drugs does not handle the barriers to continued drug use, but only adds to them. At Narconon Arrowhead most of our participants who have completed the New Life
Detoxification Program report and end to cravings, have removed all drugs and toxins from the body, and show a marked resurgence in overall sense of well-being.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Drug
rehab facilities are not all created equal and many different types exist.
There are in-patient and out-patient facilities, long term and short term, drug therapy and drug free, traditional and non traditional, just to name a few of the differences.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term in that rather than having a set time span, we operate off of results and this varies by individual.
Average time is 90-120 days.
We are also drug free in that we firmly believe that treating drug
addiction with other ‘maintenance’ type drugs is counter productive to producing a truly drug free productive life. We are also non-traditional and do not treat
addiction as a disease one has for life. Our 76% success rate speaks for itself.
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.
Drug
treatment is of course handling the elements that have resulted in drug
abuse and addiction. Contrary to popular opinion this includes legally prescribed drugs as well as street drugs.
This generally involves withdrawal from use and at Narconon Arrowhead goes on to include full bodily detoxification. We then use multi-faceted approaches to actually handle and resolve the three main factors contributing to relapse – cravings, guilt, and depression.
Some centers only offer one or another of the above elements. When looking for truly effective inpatient drug
rehabilitation treatment center look for as comprehensive a program as possible to ensure maximum success in life following treatment.
Many will try and assert that there is no
addiction cure.
Usually this is coming from so-called experts who meaning well, have yet seen little or no long term solutions to the problem of
addiction and so have labeled it an incurable disease.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite social, mental, and physical consequences.
It is an attempt to use the drugs or alcohol to solve life’s problems, with the solution becoming the problem. The cure is the handling of ALL the elements that have lead up to drug
abuse and addiction and then continued it – cravings, guilt, and depression playing major roles. It is not just cessation of drug use. It involves the acquiring of a whole array of life skills so that life’s problems can be confronted and one can live life happily and productively – drug free.
Addiction remedies come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
The word remedy means a way of putting something right or getting rid of something undesirable.
From this we can see that there is much more to
addiction remedies than simply getting someone to stop using.
If we are going to put something right in terms of
addiction then it is first important to find out what went wrong and then work on getting rid of the undesirable effects.
Narconon Arrowhead specializes in not only ending use but in locating the root causes and working out solutions that give back to an individual a lifetime of happy drug free productiveness.
