Addiction Recovery
At Narconon Arrowhead we apply the word recovery in its fullest sense.
We do not operate under the false assumption of once an addict, always an addict.
Recovery means to return to a normal state or an improved state following a setback or loss; it also means gaining back something lost.
Narconon Arrowhead specializes in
addiction recovery which leads to a drug free productive life for a lifetime.
Getting the drugs fully out of the body (not just withdrawal), handling the factors of cravings, guilt, and depression so often accompanying and adding to addiction, and the gaining of skills and abilities are all factors leading to full
addiction recovery. There is a definite difference between a program that stops drug use, but leaves the underlying reasons untouched, and a program that leads to recovery in the fullest sense of the definitions above.
Drug Rehab Information By State
When you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate a
drug overdose can occur.
Most drugs create a tolerance with increasing amounts needed to create the same effects. Drug abusers and addicts are constantly faced with the risk of a drug overdose. There can be a fine line between getting the high they're seeking and overdose leading to serious injury or death. Mixing drugs such as heroin, pills and alcohol is the most common cause of death by overdose.
More and more participants in drug
rehabilitation are reporting multiple drugs being
abuse simultaneously. This vastly increases the medical complications that can result from this dangerous mixing of drug ‘cocktails’.
This is all in
addiction to the sometimes life threatening side effects that can occur from abusing
prescription drugs especially painkillers and anti-depressants.
Rehab centers play a key role in
addiction recovery for many, many addicts and alcoholics. For many individuals a
rehab center offers a break from their normal environments where use and
addiction has become the norm for them. The amount of care, compassion, understanding, and persistence needed to affect a true and lasting recovery is often only available in a residential
rehab center.
To create true healing one must first get away from the source of injury, pain, upset and apathy and the
rehab center offers the drug free environment in which to do so.
If we understand
rehabilitation as restoring someone or something to a previous or improved state, then we can get a good idea of what should occur at a drug
addiction rehab. A truly effective drug or alcohol
addiction rehab does much, much more than simply get someone off drugs.
The assist the individual in locating and handling the barriers to continued sobriety.
The barriers of cravings (mental and physical), guilt created and felt that is hard to live with, and depression as the result of the addictive lifestyle are the barriers that left unhandled, leave the entire subject of addiction unhandled.
With these points fully handled and addressed one can achieve lasting sobriety, with unhandled the only other choices are death or jail.
This is the reality of addiction no matter how harsh it may sound.
What actually causes an individual to
abuse a drug or alcohol?
If you look or observe closely you will see that the person is attempting to handle pain of some sort.
This could be mental, physical or a combination of both.
It could be a shy teenager who starts using cocaine to be more outgoing (mental pain), or a construction working who starts using prescription painkillers for back pain and finds himself unable to break free from the trap (physical pain).
The point to be made here is that to handle the
abuse of drugs or alcohol the underlying causes need to be confronted and handled. Narconon Arrowhead Drug
Rehab deals not with labeling the addict or
alcoholic as ill for a lifetime but with empowering the individual to resolve these underlying reasons and achieve a drug free and productive life.
