It has been almost four months to the day that I came here from medical detox to Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab Center. Wow, that is how much of a mess I had made of myself! In four short months this drug rehab program has given me my life back. It has given my father his daughter, my brothers their sister, and most of all, my son his mother! My mind, my body and my sense of purpose are strong once again. Every step in this drug rehab program has done what it was designed to do. It showed me how with confidence I can live a happy, fulfilled, drug-free life. J.T.

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.

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.

 

Morphine Drug and Addiction

Morphine Drug
Attempting to detoxify self from Morphine can be extremely dangerous. Morphine addiction withdrawal can cause physical and emotional trauma including stroke, heart attack, and even death. To ease the pain from withdrawal from Morphine addiction Methadone is often used. The substitute use of methadone typically results in an addiction to methadone, and continued Morphine use with out detoxification from either substance. Inpatient withdrawal without the use of additional drugs or medications offers the most workable scenario for beating a morphine addiction and allowing for a drug free lifestyle with out the dangers and side effects of continual substitute drug use.

 

12 Step Program and Addiction

12 Step Program
The 12 step program has been around in various forms since the 1920’s. It basically involves 12 different steps done by the addict or alcoholic in an attempt to gain control over the addiction or alcoholism. There are thousands of local meetings throughout the world whose membership uses the 12 steps as their basic approach. Many of the short term drug rehabs also use the 12 step approach to solving addiction or alcoholism. There is absolutely no doubt that this approach works for some and works well. However, overall success rates tend to be dismally low. For instance AA reports a meager 5-7% retention rate for those attending these meetings. All is not hopeless for you or a loved one who has found a 12 step program not fully handling addiction or alcoholism. There are more non-traditional alternatives available with significantly higher success rates; Narconon Arrowhead is one of these.
