Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab Program

I’ve finished the Narconon Arrowhead drug alcohol rehabilitation program and I feel great. When I arrived at drug rehab, I was completely hopeless and thought that my life was to be nothing more than sticking needles in my arm. That thought continued until sauna where something happened. All of a sudden I was positive and rational. Throughout the rest of my drug rehab program, I realized I could stay sober, that I could do anything I wanted to and I will! Thank you. K.K.

Crystal Meth Addiction and Addiction

Crystal Meth Addiction
Crystal meth addiction has gone from being primarily a west coast phenomenon to reaching epidemic proportions throughout the country in a very short time. It is one of the most, if not the most, psychologically addictive drugs on the scene today. Many report addiction beginning with the very first use. Consequently, it is one of the hardest drug addictions to treat and many die in its grip. With ingredients like battery acid, drain cleaner, lantern fuel, and anti-freeze being use in the manufacturing process the health risks multiply quickly. As of July 2005, 58% of all U.S. local police and law enforcement staff were reporting methamphetamine abuse as their biggest drug problem.

Drug Abuse and Addiction

Drug Abuse
The Encarta dictionary defines drug abuse as ‘the harmful and illegal non-medicinal use of drugs or alcohol’. Drug abuse usually begins in an effort to relieve some sort of pain or discomfort; this could be emotion, mental, or physical. Many drugs do this, but only temporarily and generally when the drug wears off the pains and discomforts remain, often times worsened. Since they worked once more drugs are used in an effort to obtain further relief, and since tolerance builds up in most cases more and more of the drug or alcohol is needed. More and more of the person’s life centers around obtaining and using drugs. The drugs and alcohol have long ceased to cure any problems and have themselves now become the problem. At this point, drug abuse involves abuse of finances, relationships, health, career, etc. When one handles the reasons for the initial drug abuse the need for drugs fades away.

 

Opium Addiction and Addiction

Opium Addiction
Opium addiction has a long history. It was a problem in the 1850’s when morphine was developed as a non-addictive substitute. Morphine was soon a bigger addiction problem than opium. The morphine problem was ‘solved’ with another opium derivative – Heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than either morphine or opium. In the middle and latter parts of the 20th century along come methadone as the cure for heroin. You guessed it, methadone is stronger, more addictive, and more life threatening than any of the opium derivatives that came before it. Ask any methadone addict, or addiction professional dealing with methadone addiction and withdrawal. By the 1990’s the mortality rate from opium derivatives was estimated to be 20 times greater than the general population.

 

Rehabilitation Centers and Addiction

Rehabilitation Centers
Rehabilitation Centers are facilities where the problems of addiction and alcoholism are addressed. Rehabilitation is defined as returning to a previous state or condition or an improved state or condition. With this in mind truly effective and successful rehabilitation centers will address much more that mere cessation of drug or alcohol use, though this is a vital and important starting point. The issues of cravings, guilt, and depression that led up to the addiction and then continued it should be fully confronted and resolved, as well as full detoxification of the body following use cessation. Narconon Arrowhead rehabilitation center fully addresses all these point and many more to ensure the best chances possible for a lifetime of drug free productiveness.
