Substance Abuse Services

When researching drug rehab programs what substance abuse services should one be looking for. We suggest you look for a drug free withdrawal and detoxification process to thoroughly rid the body of drugs and toxins. With a detox such as that at Narconon Arrowhead cravings often come to and end. One should also look for a full handling of the feelings of guilt and depression as these are key factors in continued drug use as well as relapse after treatment. Vastly increased success rates are occurring with more long term residential treatment plans due to the strength of the drugs currently being used and the increasing trend towards multiple drugs of abuse.

An inpatient alcohol rehabilitation center insures the best chances for a handling for alcoholism which lasts. Withdrawal from alcohol requires close supervision to handle the mental and physical discomforts that can affect the individual. Actual reports actually show Narconon Arrowhead withdrawal procedures to be among the most extensive as well as gentle procedures available. Any handling of alcoholism must include services to handle the cravings, guilt and depression that accompany alcoholism and in most case are factors involved in the onset of alcohol addiction as well. An inpatient alcohol rehabilitation center provides the distraction free environment found essential in facilitating full recovery and a life which will remain alcohol free.

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.

Alcoholic Anonymous statistics show a retention rate of 5 – 7%. 12 step treatment options definitely work for some but not all by a long ways. Many shorter term inpatient alcohol treatment centers are based on 12 step methodologies and as such often suffer from the same low retention and success rates. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term inpatient alcohol treatment center that used the more effective but less traditional methods of education and empowerment. We do not treat alcoholism as an incurable disease that one is stuck with for life. Our success rates show that when the factors of cravings, guilt and depression are fully confronted and resolved that the need and desire for alcohol, or other substances for that matter, fades into the past as a motivating factor.

Any effective alcohol treatment center should be well acquainted with the fact that alcoholism can only end in one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety. There really are no other options, extenuating circumstances, or ‘this person is different’, etc. Anyone stating or asserting something different is simply uninformed or being dangerously reasonable with the condition. Death, jail, or sobriety, the choice is ultimately the alcoholics. A good alcohol treatment center will give the alcoholic the tools to life a happy alcohol free lifestyle when the choice is sobriety.
