Marijuana Addiction and Addiction

Marijuana Addiction
Many people and even professionals hold the opinion that marijuana is not addictive. This is simply a misunderstanding and not true. Marijuana addiction, especially on a mental or emotional level has been on the increase in terms of numbers and severity for some time. The potency of marijuana such as Canadian ‘BC Bud’ and hydroponically engineered pot is many times that of the marijuana of past days. Inability of users to control their use of this substance and Narconon Arrowhead statistics show a steady increase in the number of program participants with marijuana as their main drug of abuse and addiction.

Treatment and Addiction

Treatment
When dealing with addiction treatment it is important to understand exactly what is meant by ‘treatment’. The Encarta dictionary defines treatment as; ‘Way of handling somebody or something – the particular way somebody or something is dealt with or handled’. When it comes to addiction treatment there are many different modalities or methodologies surrounding various forms of treatment. This can all be very confusing to loved ones under stress looking for effective solutions to addiction. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term and non-traditional form of addressing the problem. We deal with not only handling the cravings that come with addiction but also address the life skills needed to confront and handle the guilt and depression that so often accompanies addiction. The goal is a drug free and productive life free from the many traps that addiction presents, and not just cessation of drug use alone.

 

Drug Rehab and Addiction

Drug Rehab
Cravings are extremely powerful urges to use drugs or alcohol again. When triggered,they often cause a person to imagine all kinds of reasons they should begin using drugs or drinking again. Once he or she has relapsed, the addict is now trapped in an endless cycle of trying to quit, craving, relapse and fear of withdrawal. In many drug rehab programs, these cravings are addressed by administering medications that prevent the onset of withdrawal, and that replace the body’s need for the original drug with a substitute substance. The problem with this approach is that the body’s cravings are masked by the substitute drug and are not eliminated and the individual is not learning to build a new drug-free life. If the medication is dropped, the cravings show up and the person is very likely to lose the battle to stay off his or her drug of choice.

 

Alcohol Treatment and Addiction

Alcohol Treatment
When considering any form of alcohol treatment the following elements of treatment should be looked for in order to insure maximum chance for lasting success without constant reversion or relapse. 1. A safe, gentle cessation and withdrawal from alcohol use. (Medically supervised as needed) 2. A full detoxification of the body to remove metabolites of alcohol or other drugs and toxins from the body. The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program achieves this and many report an end to cravings following this action. 3. Life skill training segments to enable the individual to confront and be freed from feelings of guilt and depression that accompany the alcoholic lifestyle and are very often factors leading up to alcoholism to begin with. 4. The ability to face the present and effectively plan for tomorrow, including repairing what damage one can. When one is feeling better (physically and mentally) and performing better in life without alcohol than with it, then they will cease to require or crave or need alcohol and have a realistic shot at a happy and productive life and future.
