Drug Side Effects
Drug side effects is really not an applicable term when one is talking about the effects caused by illegal street drugs. Effects can generally be broken in mental and physical categories.
Drugs use up nutritional and vitamin stores very quickly leaving the body open to all sorts of illness and maladies and many physical effects are the result of these deficiencies.
Drug induced neurosis and psychosis is the easiest way to explain the hundreds of various mental and emotional side effects from
drug use and addiction.
With prescription drugs, many of the side effects are quite debilitating and life threatening even when taken as prescribed, let alone at abusive levels.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Drug
treatment at Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, drug free and non traditional experience.
Long term because we work not from the viewpoint of time spent, but from the viewpoint of results obtained.
It is self-paced and generally is 90-120 days.
It is drug free as we use no substitute prescriptions drugs to handle an already existing
addiction problem, such as substituting methadone for heroin. (Methadone is actually more harmful and addictive than heroin).
Non-traditional because we do not believe
addiction is a disease that must be borne for a life time. We empower the individual with new skills and abilities that allows for the creation of a lifetime of drug free, happy and productive living.
Relapse recovery comes about from a failure in the first place to handle the three main factors causing relapse.
First are cravings for drugs or alcohol (both mental and physical). One of the main causes of this is an inadequate detoxification.
Withdrawal procedures are simply the start and are by no means a complete detoxification.
Second and third are the unhandled feelings of guilt and depression resulting from harm and damage done to self and loved ones, and the sacrifices made in personal beliefs and values as a result of doing whatever is necessary to obtain and continue using drugs and/or alcohol.
When these points are fully handled the incidence of relapse drops away and one is finally able to have a lasting and happy drug free productive life.
Alcoholism is an
addiction to alcohol.
Addiction is defined as a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
In severe
alcoholism cessation of use can cause delirium tremens and be life threatening.
Medical withdrawal is vital in these situations and needs to be evaluated by competent and informed medical professionals.
Following a full withdrawal from alcohol use the alcoholic’s health and nutrition levels need to be monitored and a program to return them to a health nutritional balance is needed. Follow up with a full
addiction program to address the cravings, guilt, and depression are vital to creating an alcohol free productive life for the individual.
Drug
rehab for young adults can sometimes present unique but fully resolvable issues to be addressed.
Young adults can often the life experience which would serve to drive home the seriousness of their situation.
They often times have little or no experience at being fully independent and responsible.
Many still have very close financial ties to family, and as such may not have yet felt the full impact of their addiction.
The rebelliousness of youth has often not fully play out and can get very irrational indeed when coupled with drug addiction.
Addiction always involves cravings and feeling of guilt and depression whether the individual is fully aware of it or not. Narconon Arrowhead is fully aware of the particular factors related to age when entering rehab. Our personalized approach is able to achieve results that last, regardless of age or life experience.
