Drug addiction treatment to be effective needs to help and guide the individual in confronting and gaining the skills and abilities needed to resolve all areas of their lives – not merely ceasing their drug use which is only the beginning. Personal issues of nutrition and gaining a healthy balance need to be addressed. Issues of cravings, quilt, and depression resulting from addiction need confronted and relieved, legal issues often exist. Broken or strained relationships in the family and workplace need resolved. The issue of how the addict gets on with his life in a drug free and productive manner, and be happy and fulfilled doing so, can be one of the biggest issues of all. Addicts and alcoholics are often quite concerned about being miserable and suffering without the drugs or alcohol. Narconon Arrowhead is an empowering program that assists the individual in resolving each of these situations as well as others he or she may have. We don’t enforce or insist rather we help, guide, and assist the individual in finding their own unique answers that will work and more importantly continue to work for them. This helps insure a continuing drug free life as their solutions are theirs and not something dictated or enforced on them.

Prescription drug abuse and addiction is one of the fastest growing forms of addiction in the world. Statistics show more and more drug rehab treatment admissions for prescription drugs as their primary substance of abuse, while the numbers reporting prescription drug abuse along with their primary drug of abuse is reaching epidemic proportions. This is a wide category covering painkillers, anti-depressants, and many of the numerous ‘medications’ being prescribed to handle emotional and physical pain. The black market for these substances is huge and these are available on many street corners and campuses. The side effects of these substances, even after cessation of use can be almost intolerable and contributes to escalating rates of violence and suicide, especially among our young.

Any effective alcohol treatment center should be well acquainted with the fact that alcoholism can only end in one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety. There really are no other options, extenuating circumstances, or ‘this person is different’, etc. Anyone stating or asserting something different is simply uninformed or being dangerously reasonable with the condition. Death, jail, or sobriety, the choice is ultimately the alcoholics. A good alcohol treatment center will give the alcoholic the tools to life a happy alcohol free lifestyle when the choice is sobriety.

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.
