Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Abuse Treatment Center

I came to Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Abuse Treatment Center when I realized I could not stop using cocaine. I had thought previously I could stop. I was a successful businesswoman. I had purchased a half million dollar home and had always paid off all of my credit card bills in full. That was before I became addicted to cocaine. During my yearlong cocaine binge, I maxed my credit cards and was making it to work later and later. I also could barely pay my mortgage at the end of the year. When I made the choice that I needed help, it was because I knew I was going to start smoking cocaine. I didn’t choose to come to drug rehab because I was losing everything. I couldn’t even focus on that. All I could think about was cocaine. I arrived at Narconon Arrowhead in April. It has helped me realize so many things about myself that I don’t think I would have if I was somewhere else, like another drug rehab where they give you one drug to help you get off another. I can’t wait to see the new me six months from now. I am already amazed at the new me after two weeks. N.F.

Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation

Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation
The need for truly effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation is becoming ever more vital to American society. One should not come out of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program and still be ‘white-knuckling’ it or constantly worrying about relapse. Families should be able to have faith and trust in the loved ones again on their return home. Narconon Arrowhead drug and alcohol rehabilitation deals in results, and by results we mean a drug free, happy and productive life, not just a little clean time. There are very definite factors (the main ones being continued cravings, guilt, and depression) which lead almost inevitably back to drug use. Narconon handles these with a long term, drug free, non-traditional approach that has a proven track record for over 40 years.

Causes of Relapse and Addiction

Causes of Relapse
There are definite specific causes of relapse and once these causes are handled relapse tends to just fade away as a condition or a worry. The first cause of relapse is cravings (mental and physical) that keep the individual seeking drugs or alcohol. Most withdrawal programs deal only with drug use cessation. While this is an important and vital action in any recovery it is far from being a full detoxification of the body. Drugs and toxins lodge in the fatty tissues of the body for month and years after use has ceased. In moments of physical or emotional stress these toxins can be released into the system again creating strong emotional and physical urges to use again. The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program fully flushes these drugs and toxins from the body accompanied by a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being. Most of our program participants report and end to drug cravings at this point.

 

Drug Use and Addiction

Drug Use
How does one go about determining when drug use crosses the line into drug abuse and addiction? Drugs are used as a solution to pain, be it mental, emotional, or physical. Fore instance one takes a painkiller and physical pain subsides or one take a street drug and the emotional pain of feeling like an outsider goes away. There are many motivations but they all come under the heading of handling pain in one way or another. Drug abuse sets in when the drug is being used more and more to mask and cover up the pain rather than addressing the actual causes of the pain itself. From abuse one quickly moves on to addiction where tolerance to the drugs builds up to the point where the individual can’t conceive of life without them for fear of unbearable pain of one type or another. Ones life then becomes centered on acquiring and using more and more drugs at any cost or sacrifice. Along with this comes all the cravings, guilt and depression that results from harm done to self, family, loved ones, careers, etc.

 

Chemical Dependency Treatment and Addiction

Chemical Dependency Treatment
There are three major components to the Narconon Arrowhead chemical dependency treatment. 1. A full and complete handling of the mental and physical cravings that come from any form of dependency. There is more to this than mere withdrawal from use, though this is a vital starting point. 2. Handling the guilt and depression that comes from the dependent life style and the damage done to self and loved ones. Most addicts, given the know-how and chance will jump at the chance to relieve these devastating feeling that have been keeping them using more and more drugs and alcohol in a failed attempt to find some relief. 3. This involves having the needed skills and abilities to fix what damage they can and then go on to create a truly drug free and productive life. Once the individual feels better without drugs or alcohol than they do with them the need for these substances fade away. This is what chemical dependency treatment is all about.

 

Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment and Addiction

Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment
There are three key components to any alcohol and drug abuse treatment. These are a full address of and handling for cravings, guilt, and depression. Without a full resolution of these three factors one cannot expect real and lasting results from any alcohol and drug abuse treatment. These are the three points that have lead up to the addiction or alcoholism and are the three main points that create the continuation of the addiction or alcoholism. When it comes to addiction or alcoholism there are only three choices – jail, death, or sobriety, there really are no other options. Lasting sobriety can be obtained through a full handling of cravings, guilt, and depression.
