Addictions
Addictions can be classified by a condition of repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
Addictions is probably a more correct use of the term
addiction as most individuals entering
addiction treatment generally have more than one substance of abuse, beyond their primary one.
The strength, potency, and wide types of drugs and substances on the scene today make these
addictions the plague of the modern world.
There are only three possible outcomes for these addictions; jail, death, or sobriety, ultimately the addict must choose.

What is the connection and where is the line between substance
abuse and addiction?
Drug use begins as an attempt to relieve some sort of pain, whether emotion or physical pain or a combination of the two.
The drugs do not solve or remedy the source of mental or physical pain but rather mask or remove symptoms only. As one uses more and more of the drugs in attempt to escape the stresses of life rather than solve them
abuse sets in, often accompanied by abuse of additional substances.
When the individual finds himself unable and/or unwilling to cease use on his own and life revolves around obtaining and using more and more drugs despite attempts to stop
addiction has set in.
Narconon Arrowhead handles all the factors involved in
substance abuse or
addiction and give back to the individual a drug free and productive life.
The cycle of
addiction begins with a problem, discomfort, or physical or emotional pain. Drugs or alcohol are used in an effort to find relief.
Short term temporary relief is found which give the drug or alcohol value in the eye of the user.
When confronted with the problem, pain, etc. again in the future the individual is prone to use the drug or alcohol again.
The problem arises when it takes more and more of the drug or alcohol to get the same effect and instead of handling the source of the problem or pain the drugs are continually used to mask the symptoms while the problem itself continues to get worse.
The drugs and alcohol themselves create new physical problems, shut of awareness and ability, all of which simply increases the symptoms to the point of the person being obsessed with finding and using the drugs or alcohol to numb himself, despite consequences to self and family.
The word cocaine includes the drug in its common powder form (cocaine) and a crystal form (crack).
Tolerance to cocaine quickly develops with higher doses are more frequent use.
Compulsive cocaine use develops much more rapidly when the substance is smoked rather than snorted. Prolonged daily use causes sleep deprivation and loss of appetite. The user can experience psychotic episodes and hallucinations.
Coming down from cocaine or crack causes depression so severe that the individual will do anything to get more.
It can get so severe as to cause suicide. Cocaine
addiction will always end in one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety.
