Preventing Problems and Addiction

Preventing Problems
Preventing and resolving past problems is one of the key components of the Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab program. Most addicts and alcoholic have an army of past problems following them into rehab and another mountain of problems to confront when rehab treatment is completed. Narconon specializes in helping the individual to attain skills and abilities that will prove vital in confronting and resolving the many life situations that his or her addiction has brought about. In fact, in many cases the addiction itself was the result of mistakenly using drugs or alcohol in an attempt to handle some past problems or upsets. The drugs quickly added to the problems instead of being the solution hoped for. Real solutions come from increased skills and abilities in confronting and effectively handling life’s challenges.

Rehab Programs and Addiction

Rehab Programs
Rehab programs come in all sorts of flavors and sizes. There is inpatient vs. outpatient, long term vs. short term, drug free vs. drug use, traditional 12 step vs. non-traditional approaches. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, drug free, non-tradition, inpatient facility. We operate from the viewpoint of results obtained and not time spent. The individual stays until a drug free productive life is obtained. Average time is 90-120 days, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. We are drug free and non-traditional in our approach, never considering replacing one drug with another as anything else but foolishness. Many replacement drugs used are more harmful and potentially addictive than the ones they seek to replace. All rehab programs are not equal, ask questions and insure your loved one is getting what they need to not only get clean, but stay clean.

 

Addiction Support and Addiction

Addiction Support
Support generally means to give active support and encouragement to someone or some idea. Addiction support usually comes from counselors, loved ones and co-workers, support group meetings, etc. All of these are valuable and can assist the newly drug free individual maintain a drug free life. But what about addiction support that comes from the individual himself? This is probably the most essential type of support and often the one most in need of. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in helping the individual learn and apply new life skills and abilities which when applied will allow him to pull himself up by his own bootstraps. When this occurs personal certainty and belief begins to skyrocket and the individual attains the physical, mental, and emotional skills vital to sobriety, and knows he can remain clean for real, often for the first time since the addiction began.

 

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in regular abusers 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 (‘old turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal is considered much less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal.
