Drug Side Effects
In many cases
addiction could be considered a side effect of
drug use at abusive levels.
No one intends to become an addict.
Addiction begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain for a person. This person is, like most people in our society, basically good. But he encounters a problem that is causing him physical or emotional pain and discomfort and for which he does not have an immediate answer. Perhaps, as a child or teenager, he has difficulty “fitting in.” Or maybe there are physical injuries such as a broken bone, a bad back or some other chronic physical condition, or the person has suffered intolerable losses in life.
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.
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.
When one is searching for car for a loved one afflicted with addiction, one of the first facilities encountered in their search are drug
rehab hospitals.
These are often sections or departments of a hospital that deal with the acute aspects of addiction.
Drug and medications are often used in withdrawal procedures.
While these can be sometimes necessary to handle life threatening side effects of withdrawal, they can and often are overused.
A full service drug
rehab facility is generally more effective at handling drug
addiction in the long term. A drug free withdrawal is preferable whenever possible, and of course needs to be decided by competent medical professionals. Drug
rehab hospitals generally deal with the beginning stages of the recovery process and handle the immediate dangers of drug and alcohol use cessation. They definitely serve a purpose but are no replacement for a good long term, drug free resolution of all the problems relating to
addiction recovery.
When considering any form of alcohol
treatment the following elements of
treatment should be looked for in order to insure maximum chance for lasting success without constant reversion or relapse. 1.
A safe, gentle cessation and withdrawal from alcohol use. (Medically supervised as needed)
2.
A full
detoxification of the body to remove metabolites of alcohol or other drugs and toxins from the body.
The Narconon New Life
Detoxification Program achieves this and many report an end to cravings following this action. 3. Life skill training segments to enable the individual to confront and be freed from feelings of guilt and depression that accompany the
alcoholic lifestyle and are very often factors leading up to
alcoholism to begin with. 4. The ability to face the present and effectively plan for tomorrow, including repairing what damage one can. When one is feeling better (physically and mentally) and performing better in life without alcohol than with it, then they will cease to require or crave or need alcohol and have a realistic shot at a happy and productive life and future.
