Inpatient Rehab
An inpatient
rehab is a drug
rehab facility where the clients actually reside at the facility for the duration of their
treatment programs.
This could be for a few days for a withdrawal program, a few days for the shorter programs or 28 day 12 step types of drug rehab.
It all depends on the extent and types of services being provided by that particular inpatient rehab.
Narconon Arrowhead is an inpatient rehab.
Further we are classified as a non-traditional and long term inpatient rehab. Long term can be a bit confusing. At Narconon Arrowhead we operate off of results obtained and not time spent. We are interested in
rehabilitation for the individual that last a lifetime. An average of time spent on our program would be 90-120 days. Some take less and some take more, but the ruling viewpoint is as long as it takes to get results for that particular addict or alcoholic.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Drug Intervention is often effective when all else has failed in attempts to help someone suffering from
addiction or alcoholism.
Many times the addict or
alcoholic already feels he has totally failed his loved ones and cannot face them.
The guilt and depression is just too much to confront.
Even though they may be in the same room listening to loved ones they really aren’t hearing anything. Drug intervention can offer some order and effectiveness to aid the true desire of both the addict and the family to find workable solutions.
Yes, despite all appearances to the contrary, the addict or
alcoholic is seeking a way out of the trap and does want to stop his use. An effective
drug intervention can take that hope and desire, no matter how small, and create a willingness to do something and accept help.
Heroin addiction, as with any of the opium derivatives, creates a severe physical/mental dependency. With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more and more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. With heroin
addiction the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in heroin
addiction may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘cold turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms.
Narconon Arrowheads unique approach to withdrawal keeps these symptoms to a minimum and by actual report sometimes totally removes these symptoms.
A condition characterized
by repeated compulsive seeking and using of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences is a definition that can apply to substance
abuse as well as substance addiction. When
addiction sets in however it is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence where the substance is craved just to feel somewhat normal.
Withdrawal symptoms, physical and mental usually appear to a greater or lesser degree when the substance is rapidly decreased or terminated.
Substance
abuse has moved into
addiction when the substance use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
Medical drugs are generally prescribed as short term solutions in the handling of pain.
Many of these
medical drugs will build up tolerance in the system requiring increased amounts for the same effect. Thus dependence sets in and one begins taking these at abusive and addictive levels before long.
This accounts for drugs like OxyContin being more and more used in illegal black markets to handle
addiction to them. Black market illegal use of drugs such as these is outstripping legitimate use and prescription.
Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are much the same story with many school age children selling their prescriptions in the school yard.
Add the horrific side effects, some of which are life threatening, and what we see is an epidemic rise in the
abuse and
addiction to prescription medications.
