Drug Addiction Treatment Program – Success Story

It’s been a long uphill climb here at this drug rehab. I started out with a very heavy load to carry. I now feel I’ve shed that load. I don’t think I could feel much better than I do right now, mentally and physically. I can’t wait to continue my new life back home with my family and friends. B.P.

Court Ordered Drug Rehab

Court Ordered Drug Rehab
Court ordered drug rehab can present unique situations to the handling of addiction. At times you will see the individual agreeing to a drug rehab treatment program simply to avoid jail. While this is better than no motivation at all it is far better for the individual to have a personal desire to end their addiction and live a drug free life. This is a personal choice made by the individual. Although a court ordered drug rehab can be more resistant, even these cases can be handled using the correct technology. Long term, non-traditional programs tend to work better in these cases as a basic desire needs to be created and nurtured. Narconon Arrowhead is such a program.

Drug Abuse and Addiction

Drug Abuse
Drug abuse can and does take many forms. The corporate CEO addicted to cocaine, The college alcohol and drug binge party, A small child mis-diagnosed and addicted to Ritalin, the housewife unable to get through the day without her anti-depressants, to the hardworking husband now trapped in the use of painkillers. There is hardly an American household who doesn’t know someone adversely affected by drug abuse. At Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab facility we deal with the individual affected by drug abuse. Each has their own story and each has individual issues and problems needing confronted and solved in order to achieve a lasting and permanent drug free and productive lifestyle. Not labels and categorizing of people, but life skills learned and applied to the individual to resolve their situations.

 

Adult Drug Rehab and Addiction

Adult Drug Rehab
Narconon Arrowhead is an adult drug rehab, meaning the minimum age for enrollment in our program is 18 years old. Other than that age limitation, individuals come from varied backgrounds and experiences. We range in age from 18 to 80; individuals hail from all around the world, and run the entire gamut of educational, financial, and career backgrounds. We find the melting pot to be extremely advantageous in handling the addiction problem. Addicts and alcoholic are generally very selfish and self centered at the height of their addictions. As the new person moves through our program they find addicts helping addicts, which is a very strong force, as nobody knows the condition better than someone who has been there. Gaining the ability and desire to help another is a key point in extroverting the addict once again in preparing them to re-enter home or society.

 

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.

 

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.
