Drug Rehab Information By State
How does one go about determining when
drug use crosses the line into drug
abuse and addiction?
Drugs are used as a solution to pain, be it mental, emotional, or physical.
Fore instance one takes a painkiller and physical pain subsides or one take a street drug and the emotional pain of feeling like an outsider goes away.
There are many motivations but they all come under the heading of handling pain in one way or another.
Drug
abuse sets in when the drug is being used more and more to mask and cover up the pain rather than addressing the actual causes of the pain itself. From abuse one quickly moves on to
addiction where tolerance to the drugs builds up to the point where the individual can’t conceive of life without them for fear of unbearable pain of one type or another. Ones life then becomes centered on acquiring and using more and more drugs at any cost or sacrifice. Along with this comes all the cravings, guilt and depression that results from harm done to self, family, loved ones, careers, etc.
Drug Rehab Information By City
Drugs, including prescription drugs, are essentially poisons.
The amount taken determines the effect.
A small amount acts as a stimulant, a greater amount acts as a sedative, and an even larger amount acts as a poison and can kill.
This is true of any drug, including prescription drugs.
Only the amount needed to achieve the desired result differs. Prescription drugs along with
illegal drugs block off all sensations, the desirable ones with the unwanted. They may of short term value in handling pain, but they also work to wipe out ability, alertness, and muddy one’s thinking.
Rehab involves returning to a previous condition and preferably an improvement of even that. Recovery involves the gaining back of things lost.
Truly effective
addiction treatment will address both of these factors.
Rehabilitation would involve ceasing drug and alcohol use altogether and effecting a complete
detoxification of the system of store drugs and chemicals in the fatty tissues of the body.
Cravings, guilt and depression would then be fully addressed as these are the causes of continued
drug use or relapse. Recovery will also involve gaining the needed life skills and abilities to begin repairing the damage to self and others that has been created as well as tools to move forward towards ones actual hopes and dreams with a new drug free productive life.
The correct choice of drug and alcohol
treatment is a life altering and (more often than not) a life saving choice.
Here are some of our suggestions at Narconon Arrowhead for what to look for in drug and alcohol
treatment regardless of whether you choose Narconon Arrowhead or not.
First, find a program that is drug free including withdrawal (except when medically needed).
Handling
addiction with more drugs just doesn’t make good sense.
Second find a program that offers full
detoxification in addition to withdrawal only. Stored drugs and toxins can account for cravings and relapse months or even years after last use. Third in our list of most important drug and
alcohol treatment needs is a treatment that fully addresses guilt and depression which almost always accompany drug or alcohol addiction, and in fact can be major factors that led up to the drug or alcohol
abuse to begin with. These are of course not a complete list, but are starting points when exploring various treatment options.
