Success Story from the Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Program

Every day I wake up and I feel great. I’ve stopped regretting the fact that I’m an addict. I’m very happy that I got myself into the Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab program at the early age of 20 instead of wasting away a possible family, career, business, etc. In a way, I’ve nipped the problem in the bud and it feels good knowing that I have a possible shot at being successful in the future without the drugs running my life. It’s quite amazing what sobriety can bring out in all of us. M.G.

Inpatient Alcohol Rehab and Addiction

Inpatient Alcohol Rehab
As with drug rehab for other substance addictions Alcoholism is best served by an inpatient drug rehab. There are many factors needing addressed other that the alcohol abuse. Primary among these are the cravings, guilt and depression that so often are the key factors leading up to and then continuing alcohol abuse and addiction. At Narconon Arrowhead we find this is best achieved in a residential setting which allows the individual to confront all the issues needing handled in a safe and secure environment, away from the distractions and temptations of the individuals usual environment. Unless the goal is simply to dry out, the best option and chances of handling alcoholism lie in an inpatient alcohol rehab.

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
Heroin addiction, as with any of the opium derivatives, creates a severe physical/mental dependency. With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more and more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. With heroin addiction the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in heroin addiction 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 (‘cold turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Narconon Arrowheads unique approach to withdrawal keeps these symptoms to a minimum and by actual report sometimes totally removes these symptoms.

 

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.”

 

Inpatient Rehab and Addiction

Inpatient Rehab
An inpatient rehab is a drug rehab facility where the clients actually reside at the facility for the duration of their treatment programs. This could be for a few days for a withdrawal program, a few days for the shorter programs or 28 day 12 step types of drug rehab. It all depends on the extent and types of services being provided by that particular inpatient rehab. Narconon Arrowhead is an inpatient rehab. Further we are classified as a non-traditional and long term inpatient rehab. Long term can be a bit confusing. At Narconon Arrowhead we operate off of results obtained and not time spent. We are interested in rehabilitation for the individual that last a lifetime. An average of time spent on our program would be 90-120 days. Some take less and some take more, but the ruling viewpoint is as long as it takes to get results for that particular addict or alcoholic.
