Another Drug Rehab Program Success Story
The phrase, “if I only knew then what I know now” no longer applies to me. I have felt and lived the experience of having a clean body, and best of all, a clean mind and soul. I have felt the weight of past guilt lift from my being. I have the tools that are not taught anywhere else but at the Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Center to help me maintain a strong, healthy, happy, prosperous life. I have a confidence I never had before. This phrase no longer applies because I now know I have a new life, with the excitement and awe of a 10 year old, but with the wisdom of a 39 year old. Freedom from yourself is God’s greatest gift of all and you can find it here. V.H.
Addiction Side Effects
With most drugs there are short term effect, long term effects and
addiction side effects which would actually be long term effects resulting from abusive use of
illegal drugs and
addiction to
prescription drugs that can occur even at what is commonly considered ‘safe’ levels. Anti-depressants are a case in point.
Many of these legal medications have serious side effects including increased violent behavior as well as suicidal ideation when taken at prescribed levels, especially in youth.
Add in the fact that many of these drugs are taken at abusive non-prescribed levels as well as mixed with other
prescription drugs and illegal street drugs. With the current trends in
abuse and addiction inpatient medically supervised withdrawal is vital in most cases of addiction treatment.
Drug Rehab Information By State
The dangers of
addiction are so numerous that it can’t really be spelled out in a short paragraph.
There are of course all the various physical complications that come from any particular drug or chemical.
Add to this the fact that many, if not most, addicts are abusing multiple drugs and chemicals and one sees the danger of
addiction to any one substance being compounded by this multiple use. One of the
dangers of addiction is plainly clear however.
This being the fact that when addiction exists, the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the drug use.
Prescription drug
addiction generally occurs with those medications which suppress pain of a physical or emotional nature.
Painkillers suppress physical pain and many are taken at levels exceeding recommended dosages and tolerance builds up fast,
abuse then continues in an attempt to handle the pain, or just out of fear of future pain.
Medications such as anti-depressants are designed to suppress various forms of mental stress or duress.
Abuse of these is similar to painkillers in that dosages are exceeded and tolerance builds leading to more and more of the drug needed in an attempt to maintain emotional balance.
Prescription drug
addiction in both these cases results from trying to mask the symptoms rather than treating and resolving the underlying causes of the physical or emotional pain.
Drug
treatment at Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, drug free and non traditional experience.
Long term because we work not from the viewpoint of time spent, but from the viewpoint of results obtained.
It is self-paced and generally is 90-120 days.
It is drug free as we use no substitute prescriptions drugs to handle an already existing
addiction problem, such as substituting methadone for heroin. (Methadone is actually more harmful and addictive than heroin).
Non-traditional because we do not believe
addiction is a disease that must be borne for a life time. We empower the individual with new skills and abilities that allows for the creation of a lifetime of drug free, happy and productive living.
When you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate a
drug overdose can occur.
Most drugs create a tolerance with increasing amounts needed to create the same effects. Drug abusers and addicts are constantly faced with the risk of a drug overdose. There can be a fine line between getting the high they're seeking and overdose leading to serious injury or death. Mixing drugs such as heroin, pills and alcohol is the most common cause of death by overdose.
More and more participants in drug
rehabilitation are reporting multiple drugs being
abuse simultaneously. This vastly increases the medical complications that can result from this dangerous mixing of drug ‘cocktails’.
This is all in
addiction to the sometimes life threatening side effects that can occur from abusing
prescription drugs especially painkillers and anti-depressants.
