Kansas Drug Rehab Information
Substance Abuse Costs Lives Every Year in Kansas
Substance abuse is the nation’s number one health-related problem and the effects can be seen in Kansas. Drug and alcohol addiction is the root cause to many other societal problems and it costs our country up to $500 billion each year, in addition to the thousands of lives lost, broken homes and drug-related crime.
Most addiction treatment centers have a limited success rate, where the majority of the clients relapse. This is not the case with Narconon Arrowhead. In fact, approximately 70% of the graduates of our drug and alcohol rehab remain drug free.

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.
Drug Rehab Information By City
The correct choice of drug and alcohol
treatment is a life altering and (more often than not) a life saving choice.
Here are some of our suggestions at Narconon Arrowhead for what to look for in drug and alcohol
treatment regardless of whether you choose Narconon Arrowhead or not.
First, find a program that is drug free including withdrawal (except when medically needed).
Handling
addiction with more drugs just doesn’t make good sense.
Second find a program that offers full
detoxification in addition to withdrawal only. Stored drugs and toxins can account for cravings and relapse months or even years after last use. Third in our list of most important drug and
alcohol treatment needs is a treatment that fully addresses guilt and depression which almost always accompany drug or alcohol addiction, and in fact can be major factors that led up to the drug or alcohol
abuse to begin with. These are of course not a complete list, but are starting points when exploring various treatment options.
As an opiate, regular use of methadone causes physical dependency - if you've been using it regularly (prescribed or not) once you stop you will experience a withdrawal. The physical changes due to the drug are similar to other opiates (like heroin). If you are a woman using methadone you may not have regular periods - but you are still able to conceive. Methadone is a long-acting opioid; it has an effect for up to 36 hours (if you are using methadone you will not withdraw for this period) A Personal story of methadone withdrawal:
“I've been on both ends of withdrawals, heroin and methadone, every patient of methadone will always tell you the same, as I do; I can kick heroin anytime, but methadone that is something else. In 15 yrs of heroin addiction, I've kicked 3 times, 'cold-turkey'. In 10 years on methadone I've never kicked methadone.”
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.
