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.
Methamphetamine Addiction
Methamphetamine comes in many forms and can be smoked, snorted, orally ingested, or injected. The drug alters moods in different ways, depending on how it is taken. Immediately after smoking the drug or injecting it, the user experiences an intense rush or ‘flash’ that lasts only a few minutes. Snorting or oral ingestion produces euphoria -- a high but not an intense rush. As with similar stimulants, methamphetamine most often is used in a ‘binge and crash’ pattern. Because tolerance for methamphetamine occurs within minutes -- meaning that the pleasurable effects disappear even before the drug concentration in the blood falls significantly -- users try to maintain the high by binging on the drug.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Prescription drug
addictions are on the rise, not only as primary substances of
abuse but also as secondary substances of abuse.
At Narconon Arrowhead statistics show significant numbers of program participants involved in multiple prescription drug
abuse along with any other reported drug
addiction or alcoholism.
This is no small problem when one takes into account the severe debilitating effects occurring on both the mental and physical levels from the abuse of these ‘medications’.
Couple this with severe and often deadly side effects from mixing these substances and the clear rise in violence and suicide that can accompany withdrawal and ones sees a whole new level of
treatment needed in handling today’s addictions.
Marijuana is to most commonly used
illegal drug in the world.
Marijuana contains more than 400 different toxins and cancer causing chemicals. During the 1970’s researched uncovered the fact that marijuana’s active ingredient ‘THC’ lodged in the fatty tissues of the body for months and years. This puts the person that smokes two or three joints a week constantly under the influence of the drug. Next to alcohol, marijuana is the second most frequently found substance in the bodies of drivers involved in fatal automobile accidents. With stronger and stronger strains of marijuana hitting the streets it is no wonder that more and more individuals are seeking
treatment for marijuana addiction.
Per the Encarta dictionary
chemical dependency is
addiction to a chemical substance or drug.
Dependency can be further defined as the mental or physical need to use a drug or other substance regularly, despite the fact that they are likely to have a damaging effect.
Chemical dependency knows no educational, class, race, or social bounds.
Most
chemical dependency starts out as an attempt to handle some sort of physical or emotional problem.
Some do offer small relief in the short term. The problem enters as more and more use occurs. The very problems originally trying to be solved are now being perpetuated and amplified by the drug use. The individual can not confront perceived pain (emotional or physical) that he feels will come from not using.
The need for truly effective drug and alcohol
rehabilitation is becoming ever more vital to American society.
One should not come out of a drug and alcohol
rehabilitation program and still be ‘white-knuckling’ it or constantly worrying about relapse.
Families should be able to have faith and trust in the loved ones again on their return home. Narconon Arrowhead drug and
alcohol rehabilitation deals in results, and by results we mean a drug free, happy and productive life, not just a little clean time.
There are very definite factors (the main ones being continued cravings, guilt, and depression) which lead almost inevitably back to drug use.
Narconon handles these with a long term, drug free, non-traditional approach that has a proven track record for over 40 years.
