A Drug Rehab Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead

In my time at Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab Center, I have seen a huge change in me. It wasn’t a quick change that was noticeable right away. It was a slow change. I could tell a huge difference in how I handled people and different situations in my life. I noticed before that little things would make me mad or irritated. Now, I notice that little things make me smile. My thoughts are way clearer than when I got here and my body is way healthier. I now have the tools I need to stay in a high condition in life and now know how to take responsibility for my actions. All in all, this drug rehab program has changed my life tremendously. I now look at the positive aspects of life and enjoy life rather than see negative aspects and dwell in my own misery. I feel awesome. B.S.

Rehab Hospital and Addiction

Rehab Hospital
A short stay in a rehab hospital is sometimes and important and vital beginning to the drug rehabilitation process. This is not required in all cases by a long ways. However some extreme cases of alcoholism as well as some cases of prescription drug abuse necessitate very close medical supervision. These substances can present life threatening side affects is use is ceased cold turkey. This is quite different from randomly giving out substitute drugs because someone is uncomfortable or fearful. This should be evaluated by competent medical professionals who are thoroughly familiar with the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Most addicts do well with a drug free withdrawal process, while a small percentage are going to require a medically supervised step down at a rehab hospital.

Causes of Relapse and Addiction

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.

 

Drug Rehab and Addiction

Drug Rehab
Cravings are extremely powerful urges to use drugs or alcohol again. When triggered,they often cause a person to imagine all kinds of reasons they should begin using drugs or drinking again. Once he or she has relapsed, the addict is now trapped in an endless cycle of trying to quit, craving, relapse and fear of withdrawal. In many drug rehab programs, these cravings are addressed by administering medications that prevent the onset of withdrawal, and that replace the body’s need for the original drug with a substitute substance. The problem with this approach is that the body’s cravings are masked by the substitute drug and are not eliminated and the individual is not learning to build a new drug-free life. If the medication is dropped, the cravings show up and the person is very likely to lose the battle to stay off his or her drug of choice.

 

Detoxification and Addiction

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.
