Success Story - Drug Rehabilitation Center

I never expected my life to change so much when I came to Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehab Center. What I wanted was to get off drugs. I didn’t realize how much my life had to change to stay off drugs. I have divorced my husband who continues to use drugs. I have separated myself from those acquaintances who suppress me. I have started my new life. I have changed the person I was and I have stopped using drugs. I realize how important it is to complete a cycle of action and I will continue this throughout my healthy life. T.L.

Court Ordered Drug Rehab

Court Ordered Drug Rehab
Court ordered drug rehab can present unique situations to the handling of addiction. At times you will see the individual agreeing to a drug rehab treatment program simply to avoid jail. While this is better than no motivation at all it is far better for the individual to have a personal desire to end their addiction and live a drug free life. This is a personal choice made by the individual. Although a court ordered drug rehab can be more resistant, even these cases can be handled using the correct technology. Long term, non-traditional programs tend to work better in these cases as a basic desire needs to be created and nurtured. Narconon Arrowhead is such a program.

Addictions and Addiction

Addictions
Addictions can be classified by a condition of repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. Addictions is probably a more correct use of the term addiction as most individuals entering addiction treatment generally have more than one substance of abuse, beyond their primary one. The strength, potency, and wide types of drugs and substances on the scene today make these addictions the plague of the modern world. There are only three possible outcomes for these addictions; jail, death, or sobriety, ultimately the addict must choose.

 

Methadone Addiction and Addiction

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.”

 

Substance Abuse Addiction and Addiction

Substance Abuse 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.
