Long Term Addiction
Long term
addiction is a phrase that could be applied to the condition wherein the addict has continued his
addiction despite attempts to terminate it.
We all know someone who has tried over and over to beat the addiction.
There may have even been multiple visits to drug
rehab facilities and just as many relapses following these visits.
There are three key factors that lead to
long term addiction with continual relapse.
These are mental and physical cravings, guilt from all the damage caused, and depression resulting from the shattered hopes and dreams that the addiction has created. An addict is headed either towards, jail, death or sobriety. To achieve lasting sobriety the above three points must be fully resolved. Long term addiction is best addressed in a long term residential
treatment environment.
Drug Rehab Information By State
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.
This is a broad general view of
addiction as different substances create different symptoms and effects on the individual and often
addiction is to more than one substance.
Addiction generally is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by physiological and physical dependence with the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the drug or alcohol is rapidly decreased or terminated.
When addiction
exists, the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
Drug
treatment centers are not all equal.
There is long term, short term, 28 day, in-patient, out-patient, to say nothing of different approaches used by various drug
treatment centers. At Narconon Arrowhead Drug
