Narconon Arrowhead Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center Success Story

When I arrived here at Narconon Arrowhead, I had lost all hope in life and myself. I was defeated and living on the streets, smoking crack, being in an abusive relationship brought me so low I felt like I would just rather die. When I was first here at drug rehab I wouldn’t talk to anyone in fear they would hurt me or put me down. I never in a million years imagined I could feel so good. This drug rehab program has given me my life back. In here I have regained myself and my family. I have grown. I have self-esteem and confidence I never before had. I can produce and provide. I have been able to sit down and talk and help others as they have done for me. My body and mind are clean, as is the new life waiting for me out there. I have the ability to make the right decision and stay away from people who are not striving for the same goals. I am here on the earth for a specific reason and I have purpose - I never before believed that. My purpose to live and succeed and help others who will help me survive. I have found out who I really am and it feels good. I am an intelligent, beautiful, funny, talented, caring, honest, respectful, trustworthy, hard working woman, daughter and friend. I am drug-free for the first time in 17 years and wonder why I never realized how good it feels before now. I remember things. I have never laughed so much in my life and all of me and my emotions are genuine. I will never, ever forget what I have been given here at Narconon Arrowhead's drug rehab program. I am a success! I am alive! Thank you! M.R.

Drug Use and Addiction

Drug Use
How does one go about determining when drug use crosses the line into drug abuse and addiction? Drugs are used as a solution to pain, be it mental, emotional, or physical. Fore instance one takes a painkiller and physical pain subsides or one take a street drug and the emotional pain of feeling like an outsider goes away. There are many motivations but they all come under the heading of handling pain in one way or another. Drug abuse sets in when the drug is being used more and more to mask and cover up the pain rather than addressing the actual causes of the pain itself. From abuse one quickly moves on to addiction where tolerance to the drugs builds up to the point where the individual can’t conceive of life without them for fear of unbearable pain of one type or another. Ones life then becomes centered on acquiring and using more and more drugs at any cost or sacrifice. Along with this comes all the cravings, guilt and depression that results from harm done to self, family, loved ones, careers, etc.

Addiction Treatments and Addiction

Addiction Treatments
When we say addiction treatments it implies more than one, and so it is. If we define treatment per the Encarta dictionary as ‘the particular way somebody or something is dealt with or handled’, we can see that there are usually various ways to achieve this. When it comes to the many addiction treatments available one can be overwhelmed with all the options. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term and non-traditional approach to solving addiction. What this means is that Narconon methodologies do not use the disease approach to addiction where one is considered ‘sick’ or ‘ill’ for a lifetime. Narconon is an empowering approach where we assist the individual to fully confront and handle the mental and physical cravings, guilt and depression that are the actual sources for drug and alcohol addiction.

 

Painkiller Addiction and Addiction

Painkiller Addiction
Painkillers, once prescribed, all too often open the door to tenacious addiction and dependency. In the U.S. alone over 15 million people have abused prescription drugs with more than 2 million of these being teenagers. Most teenagers using painkillers to get high assume they are safer than street drugs. Nothing could be further from the truth. Doctors and drug rehab professionals report painkiller addiction as one of the most difficult addictions to treat, the most serious being opiods. These are opium like compounds which interfere with the human nervous system as well as artificially stimulating portions of the brain. Painkiller addiction results in mental as well as physical addiction as well as increasing tolerance where higher and higher doses of the painkiller are craved in an effort to ease the addiction Narconon Arrowhead has one of the highest success rates in handling painkiller addiction to a full and lasting resolution.

 

Methadone Addiction and Addiction

Methadone Addiction
As an opiate, regular use of methadone causes physical dependency - if you've been using it regularly (prescribed or not) once you stop you will experience a withdrawal. The physical changes due to the drug are similar to other opiates (like heroin). If you are a woman using methadone you may not have regular periods - but you are still able to conceive. Methadone is a long-acting opioid; it has an effect for up to 36 hours (if you are using methadone you will not withdraw for this period) A Personal story of methadone withdrawal: “I've been on both ends of withdrawals, heroin and methadone, every patient of methadone will always tell you the same, as I do; I can kick heroin anytime, but methadone that is something else. In 15 yrs of heroin addiction, I've kicked 3 times, 'cold-turkey'. In 10 years on methadone I've never kicked methadone.”
