A Drug Rehab Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead
Wow! I’m done. When I came to Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Center on May 2, 2006 I was a very, very broken spirit using heroin and trying to quit by using methadone. I still craved heroin at the same time, but couldn’t get high while using an opiate blocker. Then I started shooting “speedballs.” I knew I needed help. I was a very angry and violent person. I hated myself. I barely could look at myself in the mirror, knowing what my life had become. All the awful things I saw coming off this combination was not a fun game. It definitely was not something I will ever put myself through again. When I came here I was very enclosed. I did not communicate much and wanted to be alone all the time. Narconon Arrowhead has helped me realize so much. I, indeed, have to communicate in order to survive. When I learned this, I opened up to the staff and obtained good advice. I realized that this is something I have to initiate myself to find answers. I no longer get angry to the point where I have to be violent. I’m glad I spent time at Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Center and did not rush because I got the most out of it. I never think of using heroin. My mind does not initiate thoughts like it used to. I’m in full control of my life. I think I’m better now than before I even used drugs. I’m a totally different person now. I feel clean, clear and have my strength back. I’m happy. I have love in my heart. I communicate with others and have made some of the best memories here at Narconon Arrowhead. I smile and laugh now. I enjoy life again. I definitely feel I got way more than what I paid for. I have my life back now and that feels FANTASTIC! S.N.
Drug Rehabs
When choosing
drug rehabs most people are interested in one main factor – which drug
rehab offers the most effective program to help my loved one achieve a lasting drug free lifestyle?
Getting an answer to just this one question can be a confusing and daunting task.
At Narconon Arrowhead we suggest you look for
drug rehabs that are drug free in their approach to
addiction treatment.
Handling a drug
addiction problem with further drugs, even if prescribed or legal ones, just doesn’t make sense.
The side-effects alone from some of these substances can escalate the problem beyond imagination. An individual needs to eliminate cravings and deal with guilt and depression in a drug free manner. This is best achieved by learning and applying the necessary skills to comfortably confront the business of living. Look for drug rehabs that build your loved one up, and not tear them down with further drug dependence!
Drug Rehab Information By State
Rehab therapy can all too often be reduced to individual or group sessions where the person is evaluated by counselors, therapists, and others. Though this offers some slight relief and is usually well meant, it is usually a far cry from what is really needed.
With a full staff of Certified
Chemical Dependency Counselors Narconon Arrowhead takes a different route.
We stress the development of life skills and abilities that actually allow the individual to recognize and confront the situations created as part of their
addiction that are creating cravings, guilt, and depression. These segments include a full array of exercises to increase the ability of the individual to resolve his own problems and issues and so in his own estimation move forward to a drug free productive life and free from the cravings, guilt and depression created by his past addictive lifestyle and actions.
Drug
rehab facilities are not all created equal and many different types exist.
There are in-patient and out-patient facilities, long term and short term, drug therapy and drug free, traditional and non traditional, just to name a few of the differences.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term in that rather than having a set time span, we operate off of results and this varies by individual.
Average time is 90-120 days.
We are also drug free in that we firmly believe that treating drug
addiction with other ‘maintenance’ type drugs is counter productive to producing a truly drug free productive life. We are also non-traditional and do not treat
addiction as a disease one has for life. Our 76% success rate speaks for itself.
A condition characterized
by repeated compulsive seeking and using of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences is a definition that can apply to substance
abuse as well as substance addiction. When
addiction sets in however it is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence where the substance is craved just to feel somewhat normal.
Withdrawal symptoms, physical and mental usually appear to a greater or lesser degree when the substance is rapidly decreased or terminated.
Substance
abuse has moved into
addiction when the substance use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
Substance
abuse generally starts with an attempt to handle pain.
This could me mental or physical pain and does not necessarily need to be great.
A teenager uses drugs for the first time and finds they helped with shyness and so uses them more and more often, as a false solution to the pains of adolescence.
A mother finds relief from family stress with anti-depressants and so continues their use and even increases the dosages.
Physical pain is relieved with prescription painkillers and so they are continued more and more frequently. All of these substances have their own particular side-effects which create new situations and new sources of mental and physical pain, and so other substances are now used in an attempt to handle these new pains. Thus most of those entering substance
abuse treatment find themselves having problems with not just one substance but multiple substances. Narconon Arrowhead aids the individual in confronting and resolving the use of these substances as well as dealing with the underlying mental and physical pains which resulted in the original and now continued abuse.
