Drug
rehab facilities are not all created equal and many different types exist.
There are in-patient and out-patient facilities, long term and short term, drug therapy and drug free, traditional and non traditional, just to name a few of the differences.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term in that rather than having a set time span, we operate off of results and this varies by individual.
Average time is 90-120 days.
We are also drug free in that we firmly believe that treating drug
addiction with other ‘maintenance’ type drugs is counter productive to producing a truly drug free productive life. We are also non-traditional and do not treat
addiction as a disease one has for life. Our 76% success rate speaks for itself.
Drugs, including prescription drugs, are essentially poisons.
The amount taken determines the effect.
A small amount acts as a stimulant, a greater amount acts as a sedative, and an even larger amount acts as a poison and can kill.
This is true of any drug, including prescription drugs.
Only the amount needed to achieve the desired result differs. Prescription drugs along with
illegal drugs block off all sensations, the desirable ones with the unwanted. They may of short term value in handling pain, but they also work to wipe out ability, alertness, and muddy one’s thinking.
In researching for an effective
rehab facility for yourself or a loved one there are several factors that should be taken into consideration.
Long-term facilities are statistically shown to produce more lasting results.
There are a myriad of issues to handle in most
addiction cases and is not achieved overnight.
A drug free facility is another vital factor.
Some initial medication may be called for in the withdrawal process as withdraw from many substances can be life threatening if the individual is not weaned of the drug or alcohol properly. Another important factor is a full and complete handling of the cravings, and feelings of guilt and depression resulting from addiction. Failure to fully handle these three factors is the number one reasons behind relapse or continued use following treatment.
