Drug Rehab Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead

I’ve completed the Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab program and feel awesome. I’ve learned so much on how to improve my life and have done so by applying the technology that I have learned here at this drug rehab. I’ve also been clean and sober for six months. I have no desire to use drugs. I have the technology to stay sober. This drug rehab program has saved my life. D.M.

Causes of Relapse

Causes of Relapse
There are definite specific causes of relapse and once these causes are handled relapse tends to just fade away as a condition or a worry. The first cause of relapse is cravings (mental and physical) that keep the individual seeking drugs or alcohol. Most withdrawal programs deal only with drug use cessation. While this is an important and vital action in any recovery it is far from being a full detoxification of the body. Drugs and toxins lodge in the fatty tissues of the body for month and years after use has ceased. In moments of physical or emotional stress these toxins can be released into the system again creating strong emotional and physical urges to use again. The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program fully flushes these drugs and toxins from the body accompanied by a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being. Most of our program participants report and end to drug cravings at this point.

Prescription Drugs and Addiction

Prescription Drugs
Drugs, including prescription drugs, are essentially poisons. The amount taken determines the effect. A small amount acts as a stimulant, a greater amount acts as a sedative, and an even larger amount acts as a poison and can kill. This is true of any drug, including prescription drugs. Only the amount needed to achieve the desired result differs. Prescription drugs along with illegal drugs block off all sensations, the desirable ones with the unwanted. They may of short term value in handling pain, but they also work to wipe out ability, alertness, and muddy one’s thinking.

 

Addiction Intervention and Addiction

Addiction Intervention
Addiction intervention refers to an action undertaken in order to change what is happening or might happen concerning another’s addiction, especially in order to prevent something undesirable. Many addicts are so oblivious to the effects they are creating on themselves, their health, their loved ones and co-workers that it takes serious intervention in order to get through to them the need that they get help NOW. In most cases it is not that they don’t care, though it may appear this way, but they are simply not aware of what is happening to them and around them. At Narconon Arrowhead we have intake counselors who can guide you on the type of intervention needed at any given point in the process of getting a loved one into rehab. We have been there and know what it takes and the best way to go about it

 

Drug Use and Addiction

Drug Use
Drug use occurs in an effort to relieve some form of pain, it may be physical but is often times emotional or a combination of the two. This could be as simple as using alcohol or pot to avoid peer pressure as a teen, or the use of painkillers after an industrial accident. Either way the drug is found to alleviate the symptoms. The bigger the problem, the greater the discomfort and the more relief is sought. With continued abuse the drugs begin to create mental and physical damage of their own and if continued unchecked the person’s life when sober is filled with despair and misery. At this point all the person wants to do is escape these feelings by drugging or drinking them away. This is the downward spiral of addiction.

 

Alcohol Rehab and Addiction

Alcohol Rehab
An alcohol free lifestyle that is happy, productive, and lasts for a lifetime is the attainable goal of the Narconon Arrowhead alcohol rehab program. With a 76% success rate Narconon Arrowhead is among the most effective programs in the world. Alcohol addiction is one of the toughest to beat with its’ ready availability and social acceptance. Like all addictions, no matter what the substance, once sobriety is achieved then the real work of handling the cravings, guilt and depression begins. These are the barriers that left partially or totally unhandled are the causes of relapse and reversion. Feelings of being stuck with an incurable illness also stem from these three factors.
