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.
Drug Rehab Information By State
In terms of drug
rehab help, help itself is one of the issues addressed.
Addicts often feel betrayed on the subject of help.
They feel they have failed to help themselves.
Help offered by their dealers and fellow drug friends have had the opposite effect and simply led toward further destruction of their lives and health.
Family, friends, and sometimes professionals have all had their attempts at helping the individual. The addict by the time he or she reaches drug
rehab often feels help is no longer possible. At Narconon Arrowhead one of the first things to be rehabilitated is the individual’s ability to reach for and accept help. True help exists in the individual gaining the skills and abilities necessary to help themselves, and then in helping their families and loved ones. Help is a two way street of giving and receiving.
Heroin is a highly addictive illegal drug. During the 1800’s opium
addiction was a major problem in the U.S.
Morphine was developed as supposedly a non-addictive substitute for opium but proved to be even more addictive.
The same is true of Heroin which was a supposedly non addictive replacement for morphine, but again is actually more addictive than opium or morphine.
In more modern times we know have methadone as a supposed ‘solution’ to heroin addiction.
Methadone is even more addictive than heroin. If withdrawal from heroin can be gruesome and harrowing, then methadone is even worse and can be life- threatening if unsupervised.
At Narconon Arrowhead we do not use the term
rehab patient when referring to our program participants. Instead we use the word “student” as it more accurately reflects what is occurring in our program. At Narconon Arrowhead once withdrawal from use is achieved and is followed by a full bodily
detoxification then student is then ready to gain the life skills and abilities needed to pursue a drug free productive life.
Cravings, guilt and depression must be confronted, dealt with, and eliminated is one is to achieve a lasting drug free existence.
These skills and abilities can be learned and successfully applied.
Our students enjoy a 76% success rate that speaks for itself.
Drug statistics abound in government, educational, and private studies.
These can be enlightening and informative. The
drug statistics from these studies are generally disheartening and leave one without much hope a good amount of the time.
When is comes to
drug statistics the one you are probably most interested in is that of yourself or a loved one.
If you’re looking at this website then it has become personal for you in one form or another. Well here is a statistic that may engender a little hope for you; Narconon Arrowhead has a 76% success rate among our program graduates, one of the best in the field.

rehabilitation is fleeting and subject to relapse. We work from a strong foundation of routinely creating drug free productive individuals for a lifetime!
