Drug

The corporate CEO addicted to cocaine, The college alcohol and drug binge party, A small child mis-diagnosed and addicted to Ritalin, the housewife unable to get through the day without her anti-depressants, to the hardworking husband now trapped in the use of painkillers.

Drug Rehab Information By State
If recovery means to return to a normal or improved state following a setback or loss then there is much more to
drug recovery than just ceasing to use drugs or alcohol.
Recovery means to confront and resolve the factors that lead to the drug or alcohol problem to begin with as well as acquiring tools and skills to allow one to move forward in a drug free productive life with constant fear of relapse.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional approach to the problems of drug recovery.
Our
drug recovery program addresses ALL factors necessary for full recovery from handlings of mental and physical cravings, to a resolution of the guilt and depression that goes hand in hand in leading up to and then continuing
addiction or alcoholism.
Abuse occurs when a drug, alcohol, or other substance is used to the detriment of the users health, family relations, finances, career, etc.
The detriments may be slight at the beginning of
abuse but generally escalates quite quickly into cravings (mental or physical) for the drug, alcohol, or substance.
This is followed in short order by a marked rise in feeling of guilt and depression as the individual starts sacrificing quality of life for self and others in the more and more single-minded pursuit of the drugs and alcohol.
Once
abuse has set it the whole process of
addiction picks up speed as does the damage done to health, families, career, etc. The sooner this dwindling spiral is halted and addressed with effective drug and alcohol
rehabilitation the better.
Drugs, including prescription drugs, are essentially poisons.
The amount taken determines the effect.
A small amount acts as a stimulant, a greater amount acts as a sedative, and an even larger amount acts as a poison and can kill.
This is true of any drug, including prescription drugs.
Only the amount needed to achieve the desired result differs. Prescription drugs along with
illegal drugs block off all sensations, the desirable ones with the unwanted. They may of short term value in handling pain, but they also work to wipe out ability, alertness, and muddy one’s thinking.
This may sound obvious but the time for
relapse prevention is before the relapse, not after.
Too often
relapse prevention refers to the next relapse instead of just removing relapse as an issue to begin with.
Through 40 years of experience Narconon has discovered and found workable solution to the three
causes of relapse – Cravings, guilt, and depression.
Make no mistake these are the factors leading to relapse.
At Narconon Arrowhead we have a 76% success rate among our graduates. We give the program participants the skills, tools, and abilities to prevent relapse from even getting out of the starting gate.
