Narconon Arrowhead Drug Treatment Center – Success Story
I’ve been on cocaine for the last nine years of my life. Never once have I wanted to quit or go to drug rehab. Now for the first time in my life, I actually love myself, the person I am and the person I am becoming. I know in my heart and soul, I want to be drug-free and will remain drug-free thanks to Narconon Arrowhead Drug Treatment Center. When I get home, I know I can be the father I’m supposed to be. J.B.
Methadone Addiction
As an opiate, regular use of methadone causes physical dependency - if you've been using it regularly (prescribed or not) once you stop you will experience a withdrawal. The physical changes due to the drug are similar to other opiates (like heroin). If you are a woman using methadone you may not have regular periods - but you are still able to conceive. Methadone is a long-acting opioid; it has an effect for up to 36 hours (if you are using methadone you will not withdraw for this period) A Personal story of methadone withdrawal:
“I've been on both ends of withdrawals, heroin and methadone, every patient of methadone will always tell you the same, as I do; I can kick heroin anytime, but methadone that is something else. In 15 yrs of heroin addiction, I've kicked 3 times, 'cold-turkey'. In 10 years on methadone I've never kicked methadone.”
Drug Rehab Information By State
Addiction has many faces.
The
alcoholic who can’t refuse that first drink; the teenager who finds himself craving methamphetamine to keep going after trying in on a dare; the single mom finding herself using more and more anti-depressants to deal with getting through the day; or the workman now using way to many painkillers to get through the physical stress of the workday.
Most
addiction involves more than one substance as addicts seek solutions to the original drugs adverse affects by mistakenly using other substances in an attempt to escape the harsh realities of
addiction or an attempt to simply get back to normal. Each addiction can have its own symptoms and side effects.
Cravings, quilt, and depression however are almost universally common denominators to addiction, any lasting recovery from addiction must confront and relieve or resolve these three key factors.
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!
How does one begin to decide if drug and alcohol
rehab is needed for self or loved ones?
Beginning with an understanding of what
addiction is, offers a good starting point.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite social, mental, and physical consequences.
If you or your loved one fits the above definition, or even part of it, then drug and alcohol
rehab is indicated and should be seriously considered.
Most addicts or alcoholics didn’t start out with this as their goal in using drugs or alcohol. As
addiction progresses the individual has less and less control over their use. The progression of
alcoholism leads inevitably to one of three outcomes – jail, death, or sobriety.
A drug
treatment center to be truly effective needs to address the entire individual as well as the many situations the individual finds himself involved with as a result of
addiction and/or alcoholism.
Drug
treatment centers deal with the actual drug
addictions of the individual of course, but an effective
drug treatment center and its personnel also realize that there are issues such as legal, financial, family, and especially guilt and depression that must be resolved for the individual to realize a life that is truly drug free and productive.
Narconon Arrowhead Drug
Treatment Center addresses all factors necessary for the individual to be able to return home drug free and productive for a life time.
Just getting clean is never enough!
