Drug Rehab Information By City
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.
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.
Substance
abuse treatment on any type begins to be more and more effective as the addict or
alcoholic becomes more and more willing to be helped and to help themselves.
Most interventions prior to
treatment have this goal in mind, to get at least some willingness on the part of the addict.
This willingness is often tenuous and fleeting at the start of substance
abuse treatment.
Part of effective withdrawal would be the actions taken to extrovert the addict from current pains and discomforts that can and do play havoc with any willingness.
At Narconon Arrowhead our
substance abuse treatment continually involves fortifying the existing willingness of the participant as well as actions designed to increase willingness all along the way. The being himself always is seeking to do better and beat the
addiction despite any appearances, statements, or actions to the contrary. The more the addict wins at the battles of
addiction the more willing he becomes and the more energy he will expend on his own survival. Substance abuse treatment is about much more than simply ceasing drug or alcohol use.
