Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Prescription Drug Rehab Center

It is an incredible achievement completing this drug rehab program. I have regained my sense of self-worth, my dignity and my soul.

I know that I have a purpose on this earth and now I am ready to achieve it. Thank you, Narconon Arrowhead. A.N.

Prescription Drug Addiction and Addiction

Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription drug addiction generally occurs with those medications which suppress pain of a physical or emotional nature. Painkillers suppress physical pain and many are taken at levels exceeding recommended dosages and tolerance builds up fast, abuse then continues in an attempt to handle the pain, or just out of fear of future pain. Medications such as anti-depressants are designed to suppress various forms of mental stress or duress. Abuse of these is similar to painkillers in that dosages are exceeded and tolerance builds leading to more and more of the drug needed in an attempt to maintain emotional balance. Prescription drug addiction in both these cases results from trying to mask the symptoms rather than treating and resolving the underlying causes of the physical or emotional pain.

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!

 

Relapse Recovery and Addiction

Relapse Recovery
Relapse recovery comes about from a failure in the first place to handle the three main factors causing relapse. First are cravings for drugs or alcohol (both mental and physical). One of the main causes of this is an inadequate detoxification. Withdrawal procedures are simply the start and are by no means a complete detoxification. Second and third are the unhandled feelings of guilt and depression resulting from harm and damage done to self and loved ones, and the sacrifices made in personal beliefs and values as a result of doing whatever is necessary to obtain and continue using drugs and/or alcohol. When these points are fully handled the incidence of relapse drops away and one is finally able to have a lasting and happy drug free productive life.

 

Drug Side Effects and Addiction

Drug Side Effects
Drug side effects are becoming more and more of an issue for addiction professionals. This is especially true in light of the epidemic rise in the abuse of and addiction to prescription painkillers, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotics. These often have life threatening side effects when taken as prescribed, let alone at abusive or addictive levels. More and more individuals seeking drug treatment for addiction to some sort of street drug are also reporting abusive and addictive use of prescription drugs at the same time. This is an explosive and potentially deadly combination. In this culture, at this time, one should always suspect more substances are being used than what is being reported.
