Success Story - Drug & Alcohol Rehab
After completing the Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Program, I am happier than I have ever been. I feel like I have a new life, and I now have self-confidence and confidence in my ability to do anything I choose. I have learned a great deal of information that will help me hold on to this happiness and to continue to better myself, those around me and my life. V.A
Alcohol Abuse
Any
treatment for
addiction usually includes handling alcohol abuse.
There is of course
alcoholism itself, which is simply the name given to alcohol addiction.
In addition to this, statistics at Narconon Arrowhead show that alcohol
abuse quite often accompanies other drug
addictions and must be handled as well.
The idea that one can quit his drug of choice but still
abuse alcohol is a dangerous idea.
As drugs or alcohol are generally used as crutches for painful situations (mental or physical) in ones life, substituting one drug for another (including alcohol) can be seen as no solution at all. Effective handling of alcohol abuse, or any other substance abuse, involves confronting and controlling those life situations that are creating the need or desire to escape through alcohol or drugs. When one can be more comfortable in life without drugs or alcohol than with them, then the need or desire for them will cease.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Alcoholism is the usual term applied to someone with an alcohol addiction.
The physiological and psychological affects of
alcoholism can be quite severe.
At high levels of daily alcohol use the user can run the risk of severe withdrawal called delirium tremens which can be life threatening.
Such alcohol
addiction requires full medical supervision until the threat to life is reduced.
Most 28 day traditional
treatment programs are only able to affect a success ratio of 16% to 20% in achieving lasting sobriety. Cravings, guilt and depression are the three factors preventing long term success with alcohol addiction, or any other for that matter. These three points usually require a more thorough address than that received in the shorter programs.
Alcohol
rehabilitation of course involves the cessation of all alcohol use.
Alcoholic generally have all sorts of reasons and rationale for drinking.
Many, many try to control their drinking and only end up putting off the inevitable.
Alcoholism can only end in one of three ways – death, jail, or sobriety.
There really are no other options.
Many times alcoholics will be involved in other substance abuse, often unknown or unsuspected by family or loved ones. Whether it is alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both, the three factors needing fully and competently addressed are the cravings, guilt, and depression that are hand and hand with any addiction.
A condition characterized
by repeated compulsive seeking and using of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences is a definition that can apply to substance
abuse as well as substance addiction. When
addiction sets in however it is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence where the substance is craved just to feel somewhat normal.
Withdrawal symptoms, physical and mental usually appear to a greater or lesser degree when the substance is rapidly decreased or terminated.
Substance
abuse has moved into
addiction when the substance use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
Rehab involves returning to a previous condition and preferably an improvement of even that. Recovery involves the gaining back of things lost.
Truly effective
addiction treatment will address both of these factors.
Rehabilitation would involve ceasing drug and alcohol use altogether and effecting a complete
detoxification of the system of store drugs and chemicals in the fatty tissues of the body.
Cravings, guilt and depression would then be fully addressed as these are the causes of continued
drug use or relapse. Recovery will also involve gaining the needed life skills and abilities to begin repairing the damage to self and others that has been created as well as tools to move forward towards ones actual hopes and dreams with a new drug free productive life.
