Detoxification
Many programs consider withdrawal from the particular drug of
addiction to be detoxification.
The is only a partial answer and when substitute drugs are given to replace the substance of
abuse this is hardly
detoxification at all and is often simply trading one substance for another, as in the use of some anti-depressants, or drugs like methadone, etc.
Detoxification means to remove drugs, poisons and toxins from the body as fully as possible.
Research clearly indicates that these substances will store in the fatty tissues of the body for months and even years.
This in part accounts for drugged feeling and cravings appearing long after use has ceased. At Narconon Arrowhead we follow up withdrawal from use with the New Life
Detoxification Program. This is state of the art
detoxification embracing nutrition, exercise, and sauna routines to flush the stored drugs and toxins from the body. Many of the people completing this detoxification program report a complete handling and end of drug cravings, with rises in intelligence and ability demonstrated by actual test results.
Drug Rehab Information By State
How does Narconon Arrowhead compare to other drug and alcohol rehabs?
We are a long-term residential facility where the individual progress is measured by results and not time spent.
Unlike some
drug and alcohol rehabs we are a drug free facility.
This means no substitute mood altering drugs or substances used in an effort to alleviate some other drug.
We follow this up with a full
detoxification program designed to remove the actual stored quantities of drugs and toxins from the body. Many short term
drug and alcohol rehabs deal mainly in getting the person clean and teaching him how to live as an addict or alcoholic. Narconon Arrowhead deals with terminatedly handling the
addiction or
alcoholism and giving the individual the skills, abilities, health, and personal certainty to live a drug free and productive life.
Abuse and Addiction?
Where is the line between the two and what is the difference?
In terms of drug use, ‘abuse’ is the harmful or illegal use of non-medicinal use of drugs or alcohol.
If we define
addiction as a mental or physical dependence or drugs or alcohol we can see that the lines are often blurred.
Many people feel Drug
Rehab is only for those with an addiction. A comprehensive drug
rehab such as Narconon Arrowhead will also address those with an
abuse problem and in fact many people who feel they only have an
abuse problem are in fact in the deadly grasp of
addiction without realizing it. Drug abuse is always part of the addiction cycle. A quality
rehab program is able to evaluate the underlying causes of
substance abuse problems and help the abuser put workable solutions into place before their entire life crumbles around them. Narconon Arrowhead successfully helps the individual help themselves – no matter the stage of abuse or addiction.
Detox in many drug
rehab programs involves weaning the addict or
alcoholic off the use of the drugs or alcohol.
While this is an important and vital action, it is only part of a true detoxification.
One definition in the Encarta dictionary states; ‘process of removing or transforming poison’.
At Narconon Arrowhead our ‘detox’ protocols include ceasing use of the drugs or alcohol as above, but also include the additional step of The New Life
Detoxification Program.
This extensive program involves an exact procedure for actually removing drugs and toxins from the body. Many, many addicts have reported a complete cessation of cravings following the New Life
Detoxification Program.
Detox is only the start of the healing process and needs to be as complete and thorough as possible to ensure lasting gains for a lifetime.
‘Meth’ is short for methamphetamine which is a whit crystalline drug that can be taken by snorting, injecting, smoking, and at times orally.
It is extremely addictive and can create uncontrollable cravings even after only one use.
Despite the raiding and closing of the majority of clandestine meth labs in this country, there are a few that survive and the void has definitely been filled by foreign drug cartels operating in the U.S. making meth readily available and easily affordable.
For this reason meth
addiction continues to climb at epidemic levels and has spread to all corners of the country. One is literally taking their lives in the hands right from the very first use.
