Rehab Program

When searching for an effective rehab program one can be flooded and confused with all the different options. How does one sort through this myriad of choices? The starting point should be experience and success rates. Does the rehab program you are considering have a track record of success for a period of years? If it’s not stated, ask. The goal is a drug free and productive lifestyle that lasts for a lifetime, not merely stopping drug use. Narconon Arrowhead has over 40 years of experience with a success rate often exceeding 70%. This is compared to average of 5-15% for many of the more traditional rehab programs. Whether Narconon Arrowhead is your choice or not, look for and insist on experience, effectiveness, and success rates.

Rehab involves returning to a previous condition and preferably an improvement of even that. Recovery involves the gaining back of things lost. Truly effective addiction treatment will address both of these factors. Rehabilitation would involve ceasing drug and alcohol use altogether and effecting a complete detoxification of the system of store drugs and chemicals in the fatty tissues of the body. Cravings, guilt and depression would then be fully addressed as these are the causes of continued drug use or relapse. Recovery will also involve gaining the needed life skills and abilities to begin repairing the damage to self and others that has been created as well as tools to move forward towards ones actual hopes and dreams with a new drug free productive life.

Rehabilitation means to restore to a previous state or condition. So what exactly does this mean when applied to drug or alcohol rehabilitation? An effective rehabilitation will address both mental and physical conditions that have been altered and worsened as a result of the addiction. Ceasing drug or alcohol use is usually the easier of the problems relating to drug and alcohol abuse. With correct medical and nutritional care and proper withdrawal regimens this can be gently and quickly achieved in a few days in most cases. Rehabilitation of the individual and the body follows. Cravings, guilt, and depression are among the key factors needing addressed and resolved in order to obtain lasting rehabilitation and a return of previous abilities, behavior levels, and personal drive. A truly effective drug rehab can actually put a person in even better mental and physical shape than he was prior to the onset of drug or alcohol abuse. When the factors which cause the original abuse are handled and tools for the future obtained, the need or desire for further drug or alcohol abuse tends to fall away and not return. Narconon Arrowhead is such a program and routinely delivers such results.

Is addiction rehabilitation possible without constant worry over relapse or reversion? The answer is undecidedly YES! The best chances for addiction rehabilitation that lasts is a long term, drug free, non-traditional approach. Narconon Arrowhead offers such services. Our program has no set time table; rather we operate from the viewpoint of obtaining results. An average stay is 90 – 120 days. We deal in drug free addiction rehabilitation as additional drugs to solve an already out of control drug problem just makes no sense. We are also non-traditional meaning we do not treat addiction as a disease one is stuck with for life but rather stress a life that is drug free and productive without false labels or stigma’s attached to someone.

Cocaine addiction can involve the use of powder cocaine or the more potent form of cocaine known as crack. Both are highly addictive, but crack creates an almost instantaneous short lived feeling of euphoria. More and more of the substance is used more and more often in an attempt to regain the feelings of euphoria. The cocaine initially filled some sort of need for the individual. Perhaps it was only the need to fit in. Cravings, guilt, and depression soon set in and only get worse as the individual violates his own values and those of his family and loved ones in an attempt to simply get back to some feeling of normality. It is a deadly trap that can only end one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety
