Prescription Drug Rehab Success Story
After completing all the books here at Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab, I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that I have everything I need to make it in life without drugs. While at this drug rehab, I concentrated and applied myself hard. I took everything very, very seriously. From day one, I made a choice that drugs would not be a part of my life any more. I was so disgusted with the drug life and I knew I was so much more capable than I was giving myself credit for. I am the driver of my life and Narconon Arrowhead brought this “old beat-up car” back to “showroom condition” with a “tuned up “ engine that will produce all of the power and control I will need to drive straight to the top. I feel that I am ten times better than before. I am so excited and pumped because my confidence is so high due to the fact that I feel, plain and simply, I’ve finally got it. K.A.
Rehab Treatment
Loved ones often wonder what exactly
rehab treatment is. At Narconon Arrowhead the basics of
treatment at least can be fairly well understood.
There is a drug free withdrawal process where use of all drugs and alcohol finally comes to an end.
This is followed by a full
detoxification process which actually removes drugs and toxins that have been stored in the fat tissues of the body, often times for years.
This results in a marked overall sense of well being for the individual with many reporting drug or alcohol cravings ending during this time. Our
rehab treatment also includes a full and comprehensive handling of any further emotional cravings as well as addressing guilt and depression which left unhandled are the major reasons for relapse or continued drug use.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Heroin is a highly addictive illegal drug. During the 1800’s opium
addiction was a major problem in the U.S.
Morphine was developed as supposedly a non-addictive substitute for opium but proved to be even more addictive.
The same is true of Heroin which was a supposedly non addictive replacement for morphine, but again is actually more addictive than opium or morphine.
In more modern times we know have methadone as a supposed ‘solution’ to heroin addiction.
Methadone is even more addictive than heroin. If withdrawal from heroin can be gruesome and harrowing, then methadone is even worse and can be life- threatening if unsupervised.
LSD is one of the most potent, mood-changing chemicals available.
LSD effects are extremely unpredictable.
It could be a racing distorted high all the way to severe paranoid and suicidal low.
LSD can create severe neurosis and psychosis which can sometimes become permanent. In the 1950’s the western intelligence community was experimenting with LSD as a possible chemical weapon with researchers noting that ‘LSD is capable of rendering whole groups of people, including military forces, indifferent to their surroundings and situations, interfering with planning and judgment and even creating apprehension, uncontrollable confusion and terror’. Experiments continued along these lines until LSD was banned in 1967.
The
12 step program has been around in various forms since the 1920’s.
It basically involves 12 different steps done by the addict or
alcoholic in an attempt to gain control over the
addiction or alcoholism.
There are thousands of local meetings throughout the world whose membership uses the 12 steps as their basic approach.
Many of the short term
drug rehabs also use the 12 step approach to solving
addiction or alcoholism.
There is absolutely no doubt that this approach works for some and works well. However, overall success rates tend to be dismally low. For instance AA reports a meager 5-7% retention rate for those attending these meetings. All is not hopeless for you or a loved one who has found a
12 step program not fully handling addiction or alcoholism. There are more non-traditional alternatives available with significantly higher success rates; Narconon Arrowhead is one of these.
Long term drug
treatment is proving to be more and more effective in handling
addiction and
alcoholism for a lifetime.
With the majority of
rehab participants entering
treatment with multiple drugs of
abuse and
addiction a long term
drug treatment becomes more and more an important point in obtaining lifetime sobriety. There is also marked increase in potency of many of the drugs on the market these days to say nothing of the epidemic increase in the
abuse of
prescription drugs many of which have life threatening side effects.
Treatment needs to be monitored not in terms of days spent in treatment but rather in terms of lasting results for a lifetime.
