Drug Rehab Information By State
Narconon Arrowhead
rehab services focus on regaining a drug free life. As soon as the person has stably withdrawn from drugs or alcohol, he is ready to start gaining the life skills he needs to deal with his problems, instead of wiping them out with drugs or alcohol. He or she must gain basic communication skills and an ability to confront his or her problems, people and life. He or she must also shed the pain and regrets of the past, and learn the practical life skills that make one able to maintain a drug-free life in the future. This is accomplished through the eight phases of the Narconon program.
Methamphetamine
addiction is growing at alarming rates in all areas of the country and has reached epidemic proportions.
All drug
addiction takes you one of two places unless sobriety for a lifetime is achieved – death or jail.
Methamphetamine takes one on this downward slide with alarming speed.
Methamphetamine quickly burns up the body’s resources creating horrible dependence that can only be relieved by more of the drug. In 2005, 58% of all U.S. law enforcement personnel identified methamphetamine
abuse and addiction as their biggest drug problem.
Any drug could be an
addiction drug if the individual finds himself unable to control the use of it.
An
addiction drug causes physical addiction, mental addiction, or both.
Drugs are essentially poisons.
The amount taken determines the effect.
A small amount of a given drug acts as a stimulant, a larger dose will act as a depressant, and enough of any particular drug can kill one dead. An
addiction drug becomes addictive when the individual’s attempt to handle mental or physical pain becomes dependant on the use of the drug, and the individual craves the relief that only ‘appears’ to come from the use of the substance. The substances in the long run will be found to escalate the discomfort and create new emotional and physical side effects in many cases, thus not only are dosages increased but one often finds himself using new drugs to try and counteract these new side effects. Once an individual is restored to an ability to feel better (mentally and physically) without the use of the drug, then one no longer requires the drug and
rehabilitation can progress to an address of the underlying causes.
