Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation
The need for truly effective drug and alcohol
rehabilitation is becoming ever more vital to American society.
One should not come out of a drug and alcohol
rehabilitation program and still be ‘white-knuckling’ it or constantly worrying about relapse.
Families should be able to have faith and trust in the loved ones again on their return home. Narconon Arrowhead drug and
alcohol rehabilitation deals in results, and by results we mean a drug free, happy and productive life, not just a little clean time.
There are very definite factors (the main ones being continued cravings, guilt, and depression) which lead almost inevitably back to drug use.
Narconon handles these with a long term, drug free, non-traditional approach that has a proven track record for over 40 years.

This may sound obvious but the time for
relapse prevention is before the relapse, not after.
Too often
relapse prevention refers to the next relapse instead of just removing relapse as an issue to begin with.
Through 40 years of experience Narconon has discovered and found workable solution to the three
causes of relapse – Cravings, guilt, and depression.
Make no mistake these are the factors leading to relapse.
At Narconon Arrowhead we have a 76% success rate among our graduates. We give the program participants the skills, tools, and abilities to prevent relapse from even getting out of the starting gate.
Generally speaking,
rehab hospitals are short term programs dealing primarily with medically safe withdrawal from drug or alcohol.
Extreme
alcoholism as well as some drugs, especially prescription drugs, have life threatening side affects from stopping use cold turkey and need to be medically supervised.
Most stays in
rehab hospitals then need to be followed up with a comprehensive
drug rehab program to address the cravings, guilt and depression that often exist in almost unbearable quantities.
Without out handling these
three factors following medical handlings relapse can almost be assured as one is not yet in a position to live a drug free and productive life.
Executive Director of Narconon Arrowhead Gary W. Smith reports, ‘Although the number of people coming to us who are abusing pot is a smaller percentage of our total clientele, in the 30 years I have been in the drug
rehabilitation field I have not seen these numbers of individuals literally hooked on marijuana and unable to stop on their own.
We’ve known for a long time that marijuana use can lead to other drugs but it is shocking to see people whose lives are being destroyed by smoking pot just like others we are treating who are addicted to crack or alcohol.
I believe this is happening because the strength of the pot that is being smoked today is probably ten times stronger than the pot of 20 years ago.’
Counseling is a generally misunderstood word.
It is often interpreted as some evaluating for another and telling them what to think or do. Someone else’s opinion or evaluation is simply that, and gives no certainty of anything to the recipient.
This is a very limited view of the concept and it has very limited workability as well.
Counseling ideally should involve getting the individual to confront and communicate with and about the situations in life that they feel they have no control, or reduced control over.
Counseling should offer tools and life skills that the individual can use for themselves and observe for themselves whether they work.
More importantly, do they work for the individual himself?
