Drug Rehab Programs
All drug
rehab programs are not created equal; there are many different types and formats. There are long term, short term, in-patient, out-patient, traditional 12 step, and non traditional to name but a few.
One big difference to be aware of is whether or not the drug
rehab programs you may be looking at are drug free or whether the program embraces the use of other or substitute or additional drugs and ‘medications’ in an effort to control or alleviate addiction. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non traditional, drug free approach to the problems of
abuse and addiction.
These points set us apart from many of the other
drug rehab programs available. We start with the assumption that the being is basically good and despite any appearances to the contrary actually wants to attain a completely drug free productive life.
The Narconon program embraces many, many different factors that stop or inhibit the individual from reaching this goal. The majority of Narconon staff are ex-addicts and alcoholics themselves and know what it takes to get lasting results – we’ve been there!
When examining the various
drug rehab programs look for one thing – LASTING results and success.
Drug Rehab Information By State
There are common denominators between drugs though each may have its own effects and side effects. All drugs are essentially poisons with the amount taken determining the effect.
A small amount of any drug will act as a stimulant (increases activity).
A larger amount of any drug will act as a sedative (suppressing activity).
A still larger amount poisons and can kill.
This is true of any drug and only the amount needed differs. Drugs act to block of sensations, unfortunately this includes desirable sensations as well as unwanted sensations. Though sometimes of short term value in handling pain, they also wipe out ability, alertness, and greatly confuse thinking processes. At an addictive level drugs serve as major sources of numbing mental and physical sensation, while at the same time increasing unwanted attitudes, emotions, sensations, and pains, when attempts are made to cease use.
A drug or alcohol
rehab center could be many different things. It could be a meeting center, a medical facility, a 12 step program.
It could be in-patient, or out-patient.
It could also be a drug free facility or one which embraces further medication in an attempt to handle current drug effects.
If you are looking for a long term residential
rehab center whose program is drug free and empowers the individual rather than breaking him down then Narconon Arrowhead is the
rehab center you are looking for.
Our
rehab center is a full service center that handles all aspects of
addiction from a mild drug free withdrawal, full
detoxification and health building, all the way to an ex-addict who knows he has the abilities, desire, and skills to repair the damage done to self and others. They have also acquired the abilities and outlook needed to pursue a drug free life with vigor and enthusiasm.
Narconon Arrowhead is not only a drug
addiction rehab, but is also a drug
abuse rehab.
In reality these two are very similar with the main difference being degree of use.
If we understand drug
abuse as ‘the harmful and illegal non-medicinal use of drugs or alcohol’; and
addiction as
‘a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite social, mental, and physical consequences’ we see that the line between the two is small at best.
Cravings, guilt, and depression resulting from drug or alcohol use are the common denominators between the two and ARE the points needing resolved if one is to achieve lasting sobriety from either abuse or addiction.
Narconon Arrowhead is a drug
rehab program in the fullest sense of the term.
Rehabilitate means to restore to a former condition or state, while program refers to a series of steps to bring about an intended result.
At Narconon Arrowhead we use a multi-phase approach to first end drug
abuse and
addiction while restoring mental and physical health and vigor with full
detoxification of the body.
We then go on to assist the individual in handling issues surrounding cravings, guilt and depression that led up to and then continued the
abuse and addiction.
Once past problems and issues have been resolved to the student’s satisfaction he is ready to move into learning tools and abilities to enable him to confront the present and to create the future he wants for himself, family, career, etc. While there are probably as many issues to confront as there are addicts and each has his own particular scene, the above is the rough outline for achieving a drug free productive life for our students, while addressing each individuals particular needs.
