Illegal Drugs
Illegal drugs are those drugs which have no approved medical use.
These are the drugs one usually thinks of when he thinks of drug
abuse or drug addiction.
These drugs certainly are creating widespread
abuse and addiction; however,
prescription drugs such as painkillers, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotics are increasingly showing up as drugs of abuse and addiction.
They are appearing as the primary drugs of use as well as more and more often showing up as additional drugs of abuse in
addiction treatment facilities.
The debilitating effects of these
illegal drugs and
prescription drugs can be life threatening and even fatal. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in a drug free approach to creating drug free lives.
Addiction is handled fully at all levels and with all substances. Our 76% success rate speaks for itself.
Drug Rehab Information By State
If you or a loved one is in the full grip of the downward spiral of addiction, looking to
addiction centers can offer information, help, and assistance for an otherwise hopeless situation.
Many
addiction centers have websites which can be a rich source of information regarding addiction and on specific drugs.
Addiction centers have varying philosophies regarding addiction which should be obtainable from their websites as well. The main thing one is looking for when considering any
addiction centers should be proven results over an extended period of time.
What actually causes an individual to
abuse a drug or alcohol?
If you look or observe closely you will see that the person is attempting to handle pain of some sort.
This could be mental, physical or a combination of both.
It could be a shy teenager who starts using cocaine to be more outgoing (mental pain), or a construction working who starts using prescription painkillers for back pain and finds himself unable to break free from the trap (physical pain).
The point to be made here is that to handle the
abuse of drugs or alcohol the underlying causes need to be confronted and handled. Narconon Arrowhead Drug
Rehab deals not with labeling the addict or
alcoholic as ill for a lifetime but with empowering the individual to resolve these underlying reasons and achieve a drug free and productive life.
Drug symptoms are various and quite numerous depending on what drug or what combination of drugs are being abused.
One thing is clear however – when
addiction exists the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the drug use.
Some drugs stimulate, some depress, some hallucinate, and all of this can vary widely depending on the types as well as quantities being abused.
At Narconon Arrowhead testing and interviews are done concerning drug symptoms, and are then done again and again. The story and the picture of the individuals
addiction will then get clearer and clearer and the fog of addiction lifts more and more as the program is progressed through.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional, inpatient drug
treatment center.
What this means is that alcoholics or addicts come and reside at Narconon Arrowhead for the duration of their treatment.
This is a self-paced program and is governed by results rather than a set number of days in treatment. A good average is generally 90 -120 days.
Non traditional refers to the fact that we do not treat
addiction or
alcoholism as incurable diseases.
Addiction and
alcoholism can be beaten for a lifetime, and without constant worry about relapse or reversion. We work on the assumption of the basic goodness of the individual and their desire to create a drug and alcohol free lifestyle. Our inpatient drug
treatment center assists the individual to confront, and resolve all life situations needing addressed and so remove the need to run from them with drugs or alcohol.
