Substance Abuse Rehab
A substance
abuse rehab should probably be more correctly labeled a Substance(s)
abuse rehab. The individual has what is called his drug of choice or primary addiction.
Rarely in this day and age does someone come for
addiction treatment without having several substances needing to be addressed. Alcohol abuse is quite commonly mixed with other drugs of abuse such as heroin, cocaine, or meth, to mention only a few.
Prescription
drug abuse is beginning to take on epidemic proportions in the country and throughout the world. Painkillers, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotics are showing up more and more as drugs abused along with street drugs, but are also showing a major increase as being the drug of choice or primary addiction.
These substances can build up tolerance in the system quickly and many have life threatening side effects.
Multiple
drug abuse rehabilitation has become the order of the day.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Well, inpatient refers to a facility where the individual actually resides at the facility as opposed to commuting daily from home.
Rehabilitation refers to restoring someone to a previous or improved state or condition.
Drug
treatment is of course handling the elements that have resulted in drug
abuse and addiction. Contrary to popular opinion this includes legally prescribed drugs as well as street drugs.
This generally involves withdrawal from use and at Narconon Arrowhead goes on to include full bodily detoxification. We then use multi-faceted approaches to actually handle and resolve the three main factors contributing to relapse – cravings, guilt, and depression.
Some centers only offer one or another of the above elements. When looking for truly effective inpatient drug
rehabilitation treatment center look for as comprehensive a program as possible to ensure maximum success in life following treatment.
The chemical cocaine hydrochloride is commonly known as cocaine. Some users chemically process cocaine in order to remove the hydrochloride. This process is called ‘freebasing’ and makes the drug more potent. ‘Crack’ is a solid form of freebased cocaine. It is called ‘crack’ because it snaps and cracks when heated and smoked.
Traditionally, cocaine was a rich man's drug, due to the large expense of a cocaine habit. Now, crack is being sold at prices low enough that even adolescents can afford to buy it. But, this is misleading, since once a person has a crack cocaine addiction, his ‘habit’ often increases, and so does his expense.
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.
Preventing and resolving past problems is one of the key components of the Narconon Arrowhead drug
rehab program.
Most addicts and
alcoholic have an army of past problems following them into
rehab and another mountain of problems to confront when rehab
treatment is completed.
Narconon specializes in helping the individual to attain skills and abilities that will prove vital in confronting and resolving the many life situations that his or her
addiction has brought about.
In fact, in many cases the
addiction itself was the result of mistakenly using drugs or alcohol in an attempt to handle some past problems or upsets.
The drugs quickly added to the problems instead of being the solution hoped for. Real solutions come from increased skills and abilities in confronting and effectively handling life’s challenges.
