Success Story from our Drug Addiction Treatment Center
When I left home to come to Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Addiction Treatment Center, my relationship with my fiancé was at the lowest level possible. We had lost all trust and respect. I wasn’t able to stay with her because of my drug use and uncaring attitude. We couldn’t spend anytime together without fighting. We didn’t enjoy being together with each other. Since I’ve been here, all those negative things have turned around and we have started speaking, trusting and planning for our future lives together with our children. This is a direct result of my attendance at this drug rehab and my sobriety. L.O.

Drug Rehab Information By State
There are common denominators between drugs though each may have its own effects and side effects. All drugs are essentially poisons with the amount taken determining the effect.
A small amount of any drug will act as a stimulant (increases activity).
A larger amount of any drug will act as a sedative (suppressing activity).
A still larger amount poisons and can kill.
This is true of any drug and only the amount needed differs. Drugs act to block of sensations, unfortunately this includes desirable sensations as well as unwanted sensations. Though sometimes of short term value in handling pain, they also wipe out ability, alertness, and greatly confuse thinking processes. At an addictive level drugs serve as major sources of numbing mental and physical sensation, while at the same time increasing unwanted attitudes, emotions, sensations, and pains, when attempts are made to cease use.

rehab facility we deal with the individual affected by drug abuse.

Not labels and categorizing of people, but life skills learned and applied to the individual to resolve their situations.
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.
Alcoholism is the usual term applied to someone with an alcohol addiction.
The physiological and psychological affects of
alcoholism can be quite severe.
At high levels of daily alcohol use the user can run the risk of severe withdrawal called delirium tremens which can be life threatening.
Such alcohol
addiction requires full medical supervision until the threat to life is reduced.
Most 28 day traditional
treatment programs are only able to affect a success ratio of 16% to 20% in achieving lasting sobriety. Cravings, guilt and depression are the three factors preventing long term success with alcohol addiction, or any other for that matter. These three points usually require a more thorough address than that received in the shorter programs.
