Alcohol Relapse and Addiction

Alcohol Relapse
At Narconon Arrowhead we operate from a firm basis that constant worry about alcohol relapse, picking up again, falling off the wagon, or whatever you choose to call it is not necessary if the drug rehab treatment fully does what it should. We do not believe that alcoholism is an incurable disease that must constantly be worried about. Relapse comes about from unresolved cravings to use, feelings of guilt over what we have done to self, friends, and loves ones; and the depression over all our losses, setbacks, and ruined opportunities that have occurred throughout our drinking lives. When these points are fully handled and resolved one is no longer in need of running to alcohol to drown it all away. When one is winning and happily moving ahead without alcohol then one is able to have an alcohol free and productive lifestyle that lasts.

Addiction Cure and Addiction

Addiction Cure
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.

 

Opium Addiction and Addiction

Opium Addiction
Opium addiction has a long history. It was a problem in the 1850’s when morphine was developed as a non-addictive substitute. Morphine was soon a bigger addiction problem than opium. The morphine problem was ‘solved’ with another opium derivative – Heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than either morphine or opium. In the middle and latter parts of the 20th century along come methadone as the cure for heroin. You guessed it, methadone is stronger, more addictive, and more life threatening than any of the opium derivatives that came before it. Ask any methadone addict, or addiction professional dealing with methadone addiction and withdrawal. By the 1990’s the mortality rate from opium derivatives was estimated to be 20 times greater than the general population.

 

Drug Rehab and Addiction

Drug Rehab
Researching and choosing the best drug rehab is a daunting task at best. There is long-term, short-term, traditional, non-traditional, inpatient, outpatient, etc... Understanding rehabilitation as restoring something or someone to a previous condition helps in sorting out the various forms of drug rehab. Narconon Arrowhead is a long-term, non-traditional drug rehab. We specialize in creating drug free productive lives, not someone who has simply stopped drug or alcohol use for the moment. Effective drug rehab should involve the full and complete handling of the three factors that lay behind continued drug use and numerous relapses. First are mental and physical cravings for drugs or alcohol. Second and third are guilt and depression resulting from the situations and circumstances of our addiction, as well as various forms of these three that led up to initial drug and alcohol use to begin with. There is more to drug rehab than simply ceasing drug or alcohol use.
