Inpatient Alcohol Rehab
As with drug
rehab for other substance
addictions Alcoholism is best served by an inpatient drug rehab.
There are many factors needing addressed other that the alcohol abuse.
Primary among these are the cravings, guilt and depression that so often are the key factors leading up to and then continuing alcohol
abuse and addiction.
At Narconon Arrowhead we find this is best achieved in a residential setting which allows the individual to confront all the issues needing handled in a safe and secure environment, away from the distractions and temptations of the individuals usual environment.
Unless the goal is simply to dry out, the best option and chances of handling
alcoholism lie in an inpatient alcohol rehab.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional, inpatient drug
treatment center.
What this means is that alcoholics or addicts come and reside at Narconon Arrowhead for the duration of their treatment.
This is a self-paced program and is governed by results rather than a set number of days in treatment. A good average is generally 90 -120 days.
Non traditional refers to the fact that we do not treat
addiction or
alcoholism as incurable diseases.
Addiction and
alcoholism can be beaten for a lifetime, and without constant worry about relapse or reversion. We work on the assumption of the basic goodness of the individual and their desire to create a drug and alcohol free lifestyle. Our inpatient drug
treatment center assists the individual to confront, and resolve all life situations needing addressed and so remove the need to run from them with drugs or alcohol.
Drug
abuse begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain for which the individual does not have an immediate answer. The person feels that his problem or pain is major, persistent, and without solution or relief.
For these reasons, some people, young or old, male or female, high income or low, begin to use potentially addictive drugs or alcohol in an attempt to relieve the pain or discomfort.
These drugs may even offer temporary relief.
At this point the individual will continue to use in an effort to find continuing relief.
Tolerance for the drug or alcohol sets in requiring larger and larger doses more and more often to obtain the same results. At this point the door has been opened to drug
abuse and it is only a short walk to full blown addiction.
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.
Drug side effects are becoming more and more of an issue for
addiction professionals.
This is especially true in light of the epidemic rise in the
abuse of and
addiction to prescription painkillers, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotics. These often have life threatening side effects when taken as prescribed, let alone at abusive or addictive levels. More and more individuals seeking drug
treatment for addiction to some sort of street drug are also reporting abusive and addictive use of
prescription drugs at the same time.
This is an explosive and potentially deadly combination.
In this culture, at this time, one should always suspect more substances are being used than what is being reported.
