Drug Alcohol Addiction Rehabilitation Success Story
This drug rehab program has really made a change in my life. I wasted 52 months in a Texas prison and too many other months to a lifelong addition to coke, meth or whatever I could get in a syringe, not counting pot and alcohol. I tried three Twelve step drug rehab programs in the ‘90s plus a couple of other drug rehabs and was never able to stay clean for any length of time. I’ve been clean now for almost 100 days and I’m no longer a drug addict. I’ve been calling myself an addict for more than twenty years. I know now that I don’t have a disease. I was just making the wrong choices. Now, for the first time, in more than 28 years, I know I have gained the knowledge to finally help myself make the right choices in life. Those choices are not to get high. I can now be a father to my son and hopefully find someone that wants to live with a normal man instead of a dopehead. M.A.
Substance Abuse
What is the connection and where is the line between substance
abuse and addiction?
Drug use begins as an attempt to relieve some sort of pain, whether emotion or physical pain or a combination of the two.
The drugs do not solve or remedy the source of mental or physical pain but rather mask or remove symptoms only. As one uses more and more of the drugs in attempt to escape the stresses of life rather than solve them
abuse sets in, often accompanied by abuse of additional substances.
When the individual finds himself unable and/or unwilling to cease use on his own and life revolves around obtaining and using more and more drugs despite attempts to stop
addiction has set in.
Narconon Arrowhead handles all the factors involved in
substance abuse or
addiction and give back to the individual a drug free and productive life.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Loved ones often wonder what exactly
rehab treatment is. At Narconon Arrowhead the basics of
treatment at least can be fairly well understood.
There is a drug free withdrawal process where use of all drugs and alcohol finally comes to an end.
This is followed by a full
detoxification process which actually removes drugs and toxins that have been stored in the fat tissues of the body, often times for years.
This results in a marked overall sense of well being for the individual with many reporting drug or alcohol cravings ending during this time. Our
rehab treatment also includes a full and comprehensive handling of any further emotional cravings as well as addressing guilt and depression which left unhandled are the major reasons for relapse or continued drug use.
There are several things necessary in order to affect
addiction recovery for a life time.
One of these is a drug free withdrawal and full
detoxification program.
Substitute or maintenance drugs are not a viable long term option.
Ask any heroin addict who is now using methadone in addition to heroin, or ask any meth addict who now finds themselves abusing anti-depressants on a regular basis.
Using additional drugs does not handle the barriers to continued drug use, but only adds to them. At Narconon Arrowhead most of our participants who have completed the New Life
Detoxification Program report and end to cravings, have removed all drugs and toxins from the body, and show a marked resurgence in overall sense of well-being.
The effects of
addiction of course impact the addict himself, of which he or she is usually painfully aware. Deterioration of health, loss of energy and drive, and uncontrollable cravings for drugs or alcohol are just a few of these.
The effects created on friends and family can be just as devastating but are generally less well known to the addict.
The reason for this is that drugs and alcohol reduce awareness of the environment more and more as
addiction continues.
The cravings, guilt and depression that go hand in hand with
drug addiction are the reasons for continued use and relapse. The addict or alcohol usually is not malicious in terms of the damage caused to family and loved ones, he or she is simply not fully aware of the effects being created.
There world is centered on obtaining and using more and more drugs and alcohol.
Alcohol
addiction goes by the more commonly used term of alcoholism.
Make no mistake about it; this is an
addiction pure and simple.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
Alcohol is a very common substance of abuse, accompanying the main drug of addiction, in the case of multiple substance abuse. Conversely, other drugs are commonly involved with
alcohol addiction as well.
The common denominators to all these
addictions are cravings, guilt, and depression and are the three factors needing addressed in order to obtain a drug free and productive life.
