Drug Patient
At Narconon Arrowhead we do no refer to our participants as ‘patients’ but rather they are considered ‘students’. Using the word ‘patient’ tends to give an erroneous impression of illness and disease, which is not the main thrust of our program.
Certainly issues of health and nutrition need to corrected, especially in the withdrawal and
detoxification phases of the program. The term student is used as we are educating the individual into the use of the tools and abilities needed to sustain a continuous drug free productive life and to confront and resolve the three main factors behind relapse and continued use.
Addiction is not a disease of a lifetime.
It can and is being ended on a daily basis here a Narconon Arrowhead.
Drug Rehab Information By State
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.
Painkillers, once prescribed, all too often open the door to tenacious
addiction and dependency.
In the U.S. alone over 15 million people have abused
prescription drugs with more than 2 million of these being teenagers.
Most teenagers using painkillers to get high assume they are safer than street drugs.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Doctors and drug
rehab professionals report painkiller
addiction as one of the most difficult
addictions to treat, the most serious being opiods. These are opium like compounds which interfere with the human nervous system as well as artificially stimulating portions of the brain. Painkiller addiction results in mental as well as physical addiction as well as increasing tolerance where higher and higher doses of the painkiller are craved in an effort to ease the addiction Narconon Arrowhead has one of the highest success rates in handling
painkiller addiction to a full and lasting resolution.
Narconon Arrowhead is not only a drug
addiction rehab, but is also a drug
abuse rehab.
In reality these two are very similar with the main difference being degree of use.
If we understand drug
abuse as ‘the harmful and illegal non-medicinal use of drugs or alcohol’; and
addiction as
‘a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite social, mental, and physical consequences’ we see that the line between the two is small at best.
Cravings, guilt, and depression resulting from drug or alcohol use are the common denominators between the two and ARE the points needing resolved if one is to achieve lasting sobriety from either abuse or addiction.
When researching drug
rehab programs what substance
abuse services should one be looking for.
We suggest you look for a drug free withdrawal and
detoxification process to thoroughly rid the body of drugs and toxins.
With a
detox such as that at Narconon Arrowhead cravings often come to and end.
One should also look for a full handling of the feelings of guilt and depression as these are key factors in continued
drug use as well as relapse after treatment.
Vastly increased success rates are occurring with more long term residential
treatment plans due to the strength of the drugs currently being used and the increasing trend towards multiple drugs of abuse.
