Drug Effects and Addiction

Drug Effects
Three of the drug effects in any type of addiction that must be fully resolved for any chance of lasting recovery are cravings, guilt, and depression. Cravings can be mental or physical and are strong, uncontrollable urges to use drugs or alcohol despite the consequences. Depression is the source of constant and significant amounts of discomfort that prompts continued drug use in an attempt to alleviate the depression. Guilt is the feelings resulting from dishonest deeds and harm caused to the people closest to and most important to the addict. With unresolved feelings of guilt the addict is very prone and quite likely to continue using drugs or relapse to drug use in a misguided attempt to escape the feeling of guilt. In what seems an endless cycles this goes on and on with the addiction and the cravings, guilt, and depression going in a downward spiral towards death or jail.

Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Addiction

Drug and Alcohol Treatment
The correct choice of drug and alcohol treatment is a life altering and (more often than not) a life saving choice. Here are some of our suggestions at Narconon Arrowhead for what to look for in drug and alcohol treatment regardless of whether you choose Narconon Arrowhead or not. First, find a program that is drug free including withdrawal (except when medically needed). Handling addiction with more drugs just doesn’t make good sense. Second find a program that offers full detoxification in addition to withdrawal only. Stored drugs and toxins can account for cravings and relapse months or even years after last use. Third in our list of most important drug and alcohol treatment needs is a treatment that fully addresses guilt and depression which almost always accompany drug or alcohol addiction, and in fact can be major factors that led up to the drug or alcohol abuse to begin with. These are of course not a complete list, but are starting points when exploring various treatment options.

 

Opium Addiction and Addiction

Opium Addiction
Opium addiction has a long history. It was a problem in the 1850’s when morphine was developed as a non-addictive substitute. Morphine was soon a bigger addiction problem than opium. The morphine problem was ‘solved’ with another opium derivative – Heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than either morphine or opium. In the middle and latter parts of the 20th century along come methadone as the cure for heroin. You guessed it, methadone is stronger, more addictive, and more life threatening than any of the opium derivatives that came before it. Ask any methadone addict, or addiction professional dealing with methadone addiction and withdrawal. By the 1990’s the mortality rate from opium derivatives was estimated to be 20 times greater than the general population.

 

Painkiller Addiction and Addiction

Painkiller Addiction
Painkillers, once prescribed, all too often open the door to tenacious addiction and dependency. In the U.S. alone over 15 million people have abused prescription drugs with more than 2 million of these being teenagers. Most teenagers using painkillers to get high assume they are safer than street drugs. Nothing could be further from the truth. Doctors and drug rehab professionals report painkiller addiction as one of the most difficult addictions to treat, the most serious being opiods. These are opium like compounds which interfere with the human nervous system as well as artificially stimulating portions of the brain. Painkiller addiction results in mental as well as physical addiction as well as increasing tolerance where higher and higher doses of the painkiller are craved in an effort to ease the addiction Narconon Arrowhead has one of the highest success rates in handling painkiller addiction to a full and lasting resolution.
