Drug Rehab Treatment Success Story
I am coming close to the end of the road as a student here at this drug rehab. It has not been an easy one, but definitely one worth traveling. Actually, the most worthwhile road I have ever traveled. There were some dips that I cruised on through and some dips that were deeper and I got stuck in for a while. But I managed to make it this far and not let one rut or dip keep me down. I don’t plan on letting any dip or rut keep me down, ever. I am finally seeing the intersection ahead where the road as a student ends and I have to choose which road to take next, the road back to where I came from, which is utter destruction and a life of a living hell or the road toward a new, happy and sober life where I will live free and happy. Down this road there will be no more jails or bars to keep me from being free. There will be a land of freedom and choice. There is no longer a war which I used to live in every day. I choose to go the way with no more guns, wounds, despair and hurt. When I reach that intersection, there won’t even be a single doubt in my mind which way I am to go. I want to be free and I am going to do it. Look out world, here I come! T.S.
Addiction - Abuse
Drug
abuse occurs with any use of illegal substances and also occurs when
prescription drugs are taken in excess of recommended dosages or for longer than prescribed.
Addiction is the inevitable next step forward if drug
abuse is not handled.
Addiction is the compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
At this point the abuse of drugs goes beyond just impacting the individual and is severely impacting family, loved ones, finances and careers.
When the individual moves from abuse to
addiction the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
Drug Rehab Information By State
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.
With most drugs there are short term effect, long term effects and
addiction side effects which would actually be long term effects resulting from abusive use of
illegal drugs and
addiction to
prescription drugs that can occur even at what is commonly considered ‘safe’ levels. Anti-depressants are a case in point.
Many of these legal medications have serious side effects including increased violent behavior as well as suicidal ideation when taken at prescribed levels, especially in youth.
Add in the fact that many of these drugs are taken at abusive non-prescribed levels as well as mixed with other
prescription drugs and illegal street drugs. With the current trends in
abuse and addiction inpatient medically supervised withdrawal is vital in most cases of addiction treatment.
At Narconon Arrowhead we do no refer to our participants as ‘patients’ but rather they are considered ‘students’. Using the word ‘patient’ tends to give an erroneous impression of illness and disease, which is not the main thrust of our program.
Certainly issues of health and nutrition need to corrected, especially in the withdrawal and
detoxification phases of the program. The term student is used as we are educating the individual into the use of the tools and abilities needed to sustain a continuous drug free productive life and to confront and resolve the three main factors behind relapse and continued use.
Addiction is not a disease of a lifetime.
It can and is being ended on a daily basis here a Narconon Arrowhead.
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.
