Success Story from our In Patient Drug Rehab Program

I loved this drug rehab program. I’ve been to and completed six other drug rehab programs. I might as well have gone to Hawaii and gotten a tan! I have never known myself like this. I have never been able to talk with people this way. And, at nighttime, I have stopped swearing out loud, thinking of my past. This has really changed my life. It was worth the money and work. D.L.

Rehab Care

Rehab Care
When one is preparing to make a decision on rehab care for self or a loved one, one usually has a strong interest in exactly what extent and type of care is being provided by the drug rehab facility being considered. These are valid questions which should be answered to one’s full satisfaction and understanding by the registration personnel of the facility. Is it long term or short term? Traditional or non-traditional, drug free or are drugs used in an attempt to handle other drug problems? Is there a full detoxification procedure in addition to the withdrawal process or is it withdrawal process? Get these questions and all the other’s you may have answered to your full satisfaction.

Rehab Programs and Addiction

Rehab Programs
There are many different types of rehab programs using many different philosophies and methodologies. Some are long, some are short, some are drug free, some are advocates of using drug therapies to handle other drug addictions, and some built the individual up, while others tear him down with a philosophy of being diseased for life. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional, completely drug free rehab program. We do not operate from the disease concept of addiction but rather assist the individual in confronting their own cravings, guilt, and depression that are the three main points needing address to resolve addiction or alcoholism for a lifetime.

 

Treatment Centers and Addiction

Treatment Centers
When looking for addiction treatment centers it is important to know what one is looking for as there are lots of options. There are treatment centers that deal with withdrawal only, and some of these use additional drugs and some are drug free. There are 28 day treatment centers working primarily with the 12 steps. There are out-patient programs, for those who have the discipline to benefit from them. Then there is residential treatment centers both short and long term. At Narconon Arrowhead we are a long-term, residential, and drug free treatment center. Those coming here proceed at their own pace; there is no limiting time factor. The entire stress as Narconon Arrowhead is creating drug free productive lives that last for a lifetime. Some will take longer than others to achieve this result. Results are the important factor here, not amount of time spent.

 

Opium Addiction and Addiction

Opium Addiction
Opium addiction has a long history. It was a problem in the 1850’s when morphine was developed as a non-addictive substitute. Morphine was soon a bigger addiction problem than opium. The morphine problem was ‘solved’ with another opium derivative – Heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than either morphine or opium. In the middle and latter parts of the 20th century along come methadone as the cure for heroin. You guessed it, methadone is stronger, more addictive, and more life threatening than any of the opium derivatives that came before it. Ask any methadone addict, or addiction professional dealing with methadone addiction and withdrawal. By the 1990’s the mortality rate from opium derivatives was estimated to be 20 times greater than the general population.

 

Drug Smoking and Addiction

Drug Smoking
There are various forms and methods of ingesting drugs and toxins. Orally, nasally, injecting, and smoking are a few of these. The effects from smoking drugs as opposed to orally ingesting them or nasally generally creates a more intense effect faster. This is one of the factors that make crack cocaine a tougher addiction to break than powder cocaine. Drugs like Oxycontin are often ground up and mixed with other drugs and smoked for faster more intense highs as well. Also many times the harder drugs like heroin are smoked under the misunderstanding that the risk of addiction is lower and this is definitely not true. Addiction is addiction, some methods of taking drugs will take you to addiction faster and with more devastating effects.
