Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program Success Story - Narconon Arrowhead

I came to Narconon Arrowhead's Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program some weeks ago and it’s the first time 15 years I’ve been sober from drugs and alcohol. The major success I’ve noticed is how great I feel, how healthy and clear-minded I am and that finally after living about half my life in a haze of chemicals, how much I missed out on and overlooked and never fully enjoyed. Though life has been good to me for allowing me a second chance I look forward to living the rest of it drug free and clear from the haze I have been in for so many years. E.C.

Addiction Drug and Addiction

Addiction Drug
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.

Drug Abuse Treatment and Addiction

Drug Abuse Treatment
Effective drug abuse treatment which can halt the debilitating effects of drug and alcohol abuse before full blown addiction sets in is a vital tool in restoring happy productive lives. Unfortunately many do not think about seeking help until addiction is in full bloom. The need for drug abuse treatment is usually best initiated by loved ones of the abuser. The abuser often has lots of reasons and justifications for their abuse and won’t really see it as abuse until it is driven home to them. It is a short drive from drug abuse to drug addiction and the lines are often blurred at best.

 

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in regular abusers may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘old turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal is considered much less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal.

 

Rehab Hospitals and Addiction

Rehab Hospitals
Generally speaking, rehab hospitals are short term programs dealing primarily with medically safe withdrawal from drug or alcohol. Extreme alcoholism as well as some drugs, especially prescription drugs, have life threatening side affects from stopping use cold turkey and need to be medically supervised. Most stays in rehab hospitals then need to be followed up with a comprehensive drug rehab program to address the cravings, guilt and depression that often exist in almost unbearable quantities. Without out handling these three factors following medical handlings relapse can almost be assured as one is not yet in a position to live a drug free and productive life.
