Prescription Drug Rehab Success Story

After completing all the books here at Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab, I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that I have everything I need to make it in life without drugs. While at this drug rehab, I concentrated and applied myself hard. I took everything very, very seriously. From day one, I made a choice that drugs would not be a part of my life any more. I was so disgusted with the drug life and I knew I was so much more capable than I was giving myself credit for. I am the driver of my life and Narconon Arrowhead brought this “old beat-up car” back to “showroom condition” with a “tuned up “ engine that will produce all of the power and control I will need to drive straight to the top. I feel that I am ten times better than before. I am so excited and pumped because my confidence is so high due to the fact that I feel, plain and simply, I’ve finally got it. K.A.

Drug Abuse and Addiction

Drug Abuse
Drug abuse begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain for which the individual does not have an immediate answer. The person feels that his problem or pain is major, persistent, and without solution or relief. For these reasons, some people, young or old, male or female, high income or low, begin to use potentially addictive drugs or alcohol in an attempt to relieve the pain or discomfort. These drugs may even offer temporary relief. At this point the individual will continue to use in an effort to find continuing relief. Tolerance for the drug or alcohol sets in requiring larger and larger doses more and more often to obtain the same results. At this point the door has been opened to drug abuse and it is only a short walk to full blown addiction.

Addiction Clinics and Addiction

Addiction Clinics
Addiction clinics are generally out-patient facilities which offer various services to aid in addiction recovery. Some, such as methadone clinics, are actually involved in simply substituting one drug or another. This is misguided help as replacing one drug with another is never a long term solution to drug addiction. This is not to say that addiction clinics don’t offer some valuable services, most of them do. An addiction clinic can be a starting point in confronting addiction. Following up clinic services with a comprehensive long term, impatient drug rehabilitation program is the best insurance for a drug free productive life. Narconon Arrowhead is such a facility.

 

Alcoholic and Addiction

Alcoholic
The term ‘Alcoholic’ is simply the name given to someone addicted to alcohol. 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. All the various formulas regarding how many drinks, how often, are meaningless when reviewed against the above definition. The compulsive seeking and use could be by the minute, hour, day, etc. The key is compulsive seeking and use, despite what it does to self, family, or career. It is not that the alcoholic doesn’t care; it is that the use has become compulsive and the cravings, guilt, and depression keep him or her drinking.

 

Addiction Counseling and Addiction

Addiction Counseling
Addiction counseling done correctly will assist the addict with making the personal life choices that result in a drug free lifestyle. Unfortunately much of what passes for counseling amounts to invalidation and evaluation of the individual, both of which have minimal workability in effecting lasting change. At Narconon Arrowhead addiction counseling takes a different road. We use an educational approach where the individual is given the theory and the application of workable tool for maintaining a drug free lifestyle. The individual then puts these into action for him and observes their workability to the unique situations in their lives. In this way the addict gains tools and methods that are uniquely his and that he will continue to use as he has already seen the positive results from them – not merely someone telling him what to do or think.
