Inpatient Rehabilitation Alcohol Treatment Center
Boy, what a mouthful that is!
What are we talking about here?
Well, inpatient refers to a facility where the individual actually resides at the facility as opposed to commuting daily from home.
Rehabilitation refers to restoring someone to a previous or improved state or condition.
Alcohol
treatment is of course handling the elements that have resulted in alcohol
abuse and or alcoholism. This generally involves withdrawal from use and at Narconon Arrowhead goes on to include full bodily
detoxification as well as multi-faceted approaches to actually handling and resolving the three main factors contributing to relapse – cravings, guilt, and depression. Finally, ‘center’ refers to bringing all the above points together. Some centers only offer one or another of the above elements. When looking for truly effective alcohol
rehabilitation look for as comprehensive a program as possible to ensure maximum success.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Any talk of drug
addiction or drug
treatment must include those who
abuse alcohol.
Alcohol acts as any other drug or toxin.
A small amount is a stimulant, a larger amount acts as a depressant, and given enough it can and will kill you dead.
Alcohol
addiction acts as any other addiction; we simply give it its own name – alcoholism.
Helping those who
abuse alcohol involves cessation of use and withdrawal (often requiring close medical supervision in an alcoholics case), a full and complete
detoxification of the body, followed by life skills to confront, deal with and effectively remove the cravings, guilt and depression that goes hand in hand with those who heavily abuse alcohol.
As individuals and loved ones move through a seemingly endless cycle of rehab, relapse, rehab, relapse etc. one cannot but wonder what the solution is.
More and more people are looking for long term drug
rehabilitation as a more viable and lasting solution.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term drug
rehabilitation facility, but we take this even one step further.
Our
rehab services are based on RESULTS and not on time spent.
Ours is a self-paced program to assist the individual in confronting all the factors necessary to go beyond hope and actually achieve a drug free productive lifetime. Average time is around 90-120 days, some take longer. It is not a matter of ‘you have been here X amount of time and now its time for you to go’. It is a matter of getting all the tools, abilities, and skills needed to end all the cravings, and feeling of quilt and depression that are the major reasons behind relapse.
Each drug, alcohol or toxin has its own long term effects as the result of
abuse and addiction. There are a couple of common denominators however when it comes to the long term effects of addiction.
One of these is the fact that these drugs and toxins can store in the fat tissues of the body for weeks, months, and even years after cessation of use. These can account for sometimes uncontrollable cravings for the drug or substance even though it hasn’t been used in sometime.
Strong feelings of guilt and depression are also common long term effects of
addiction due to sacrificing of integrity and values that accompanies the addictive lifestyle.
These three points are common to
addictions of all sorts and are the reason for continued use and relapse.
Abuse occurs when a drug, alcohol, or other substance is used to the detriment of the users health, family relations, finances, career, etc.
The detriments may be slight at the beginning of
abuse but generally escalates quite quickly into cravings (mental or physical) for the drug, alcohol, or substance.
This is followed in short order by a marked rise in feeling of guilt and depression as the individual starts sacrificing quality of life for self and others in the more and more single-minded pursuit of the drugs and alcohol.
Once
abuse has set it the whole process of
addiction picks up speed as does the damage done to health, families, career, etc. The sooner this dwindling spiral is halted and addressed with effective drug and alcohol
rehabilitation the better.
