Detoxification
Many programs consider withdrawal from the particular drug of
addiction to be detoxification.
The is only a partial answer and when substitute drugs are given to replace the substance of
abuse this is hardly
detoxification at all and is often simply trading one substance for another, as in the use of some anti-depressants, or drugs like methadone, etc.
Detoxification means to remove drugs, poisons and toxins from the body as fully as possible.
Research clearly indicates that these substances will store in the fatty tissues of the body for months and even years.
This in part accounts for drugged feeling and cravings appearing long after use has ceased. At Narconon Arrowhead we follow up withdrawal from use with the New Life
Detoxification Program. This is state of the art
detoxification embracing nutrition, exercise, and sauna routines to flush the stored drugs and toxins from the body. Many of the people completing this detoxification program report a complete handling and end of drug cravings, with rises in intelligence and ability demonstrated by actual test results.
Drug Rehab Information By State
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.
Drugs effects can and do vary depending on the drug (more often drugs) being abused or addicted to. All create devastating effects on health, families and careers.
There are however 3 common denominators among drug and alcohol
abuse and addiction. First are cravings and the often uncontrollable urge to use again.
Second is the feeling of guilt resulting from the addictive lifestyle and the untold harm created for self, family, friends, and society in general.
Third is the depression that inevitably results from destroyed lives, hopes and dreams.
These three points left unhandled are the cause of any future relapse. If the drug
rehab you are considering doesn’t fully address these three points, find another one!
An effective
addiction recovery program should be much more than just withdrawal or a few meetings.
A truly effective
addiction recovery program will be a series of actions or steps, done in the correct sequence, each of which would full handle a particular aspect of addiction.
All of the steps or actions added together should add up to a drug free productive life that lasts and is not subject to constant reversion or relapse.
Three of the main factors needing resolved are cravings, guilt, and depression.
These are quite often the factors that not only lead up to addiction, but then continue it despite the addict’s best efforts at staying clean. Narconon Arrowhead is a comprehensive
addiction recovery program whose state purpose is not only
drug use cessation but a drug free productive life for our program participants.
A short stay in a
rehab hospital is sometimes and important and vital beginning to the drug
rehabilitation process.
This is not required in all cases by a long ways.
However some extreme cases of
alcoholism as well as some cases of prescription drug
abuse necessitate very close medical supervision.
These substances can present life threatening side affects is use is ceased cold turkey.
This is quite different from randomly giving out substitute drugs because someone is uncomfortable or fearful. This should be evaluated by competent medical professionals who are thoroughly familiar with the
treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Most addicts do well with a drug free withdrawal process, while a small percentage are going to require a medically supervised step down at a
rehab hospital.
