Another Drug Rehab Program Success Story

This drug rehab program has taught me so much about myself, it’s crazy. I have gained so many abilities back in my life that I feel like I can do anything now, drug-free. I have realized how much happier I am being drug-free than I ever was. I now feel so confident in my life and myself that I can do anything I want. I am going home tomorrow to live a happy, productive and drug-free life. I owe my new life to the Narconon Arrowhead drug and alcohol treatment center. T.H.

Drug Rehab Clinic

Drug Rehab Clinic
Generally speaking a clinic is a medical facility (usually out-patient) which specializes in a particular condition or area of medicine. A drug rehab clinic would be a medical facility that more often than not offers services directed at the cessation of drug or alcohol use. This is an important part of addiction recovery but is far from the entire story. Many drug rehab clinics use other drugs and medications in an attempt to handle the drug the individual is having problems with i.e. methadone clinics, etc. While it is sometimes medically necessary to wean a person off of their drugs of addiction or alcohol with the use of medication it is the minority of cases. This of course would need to be decided by competent medical professionals and professional medical advice should be heeded. Long term use of replacement drugs or medications is not the answer to creating drug free productive lives.

Addiction Side Effects and Addiction

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.

 

Court Ordered Drug Rehab and Addiction

Court Ordered Drug Rehab
Court ordered drug rehab can present unique situations to the handling of addiction. At times you will see the individual agreeing to a drug rehab treatment program simply to avoid jail. While this is better than no motivation at all it is far better for the individual to have a personal desire to end their addiction and live a drug free life. This is a personal choice made by the individual. Although a court ordered drug rehab can be more resistant, even these cases can be handled using the correct technology. Long term, non-traditional programs tend to work better in these cases as a basic desire needs to be created and nurtured. Narconon Arrowhead is such a program.

 

Rehab Centers and Addiction

Rehab Centers
The first challenge of rehab centers in addiction treatment is to help the individual with their drug and alcohol cravings. Cravings are strong, uncontrollable, urges that drive the addict to use over and over. Some withdrawal symptoms and cravings are caused by poor nutrition and depletion of vitamin stores in the body that the drugs are sucking out of the body. Depletion of nutrition and vitamins can cause the person to be tired and moody and can also cause shakiness and pain. The drugs accumulating in the body stress the various systems in the body including nerve systems. At this point more drugs are used in an attempt to alleviate feelings and emotions that the drugs themselves are creating. This is why treating drug addiction with more drugs only makes the problem worse and is now being rejected as a workable therapy by many rehab centers.

 

Detox and Addiction

Detox
Many people have a misunderstanding when it comes to detox. Quite often it is confused with withdrawal. Withdrawal is the process of ceasing the current drug or alcohol use with enough of the effects handled so as to give the individual a fighting chance at continued sobriety. Detox on the other hand should involve removing the quantities of drugs and toxins that store in the fat tissues of the body, sometimes for years. The Narconon Arrowhead New Life Detoxification Program is done following withdrawal and results in a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being for the individual. Many, if not most, of our detoxification program completions report an end to their drug or alcohol cravings at this point.
