A Drug Rehab Success Story from Narconon Arrowhead

Wow! I’m done. When I came to Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Center on May 2, 2006 I was a very, very broken spirit using heroin and trying to quit by using methadone. I still craved heroin at the same time, but couldn’t get high while using an opiate blocker. Then I started shooting “speedballs.” I knew I needed help. I was a very angry and violent person. I hated myself. I barely could look at myself in the mirror, knowing what my life had become. All the awful things I saw coming off this combination was not a fun game. It definitely was not something I will ever put myself through again. When I came here I was very enclosed. I did not communicate much and wanted to be alone all the time. Narconon Arrowhead has helped me realize so much. I, indeed, have to communicate in order to survive. When I learned this, I opened up to the staff and obtained good advice. I realized that this is something I have to initiate myself to find answers. I no longer get angry to the point where I have to be violent. I’m glad I spent time at Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Center and did not rush because I got the most out of it. I never think of using heroin. My mind does not initiate thoughts like it used to. I’m in full control of my life. I think I’m better now than before I even used drugs. I’m a totally different person now. I feel clean, clear and have my strength back. I’m happy. I have love in my heart. I communicate with others and have made some of the best memories here at Narconon Arrowhead. I smile and laugh now. I enjoy life again. I definitely feel I got way more than what I paid for. I have my life back now and that feels FANTASTIC! S.N.

Abuse Alcohol and Addiction

Abuse Alcohol
Any talk of drug addiction or drug treatment must include those who abuse alcohol. Alcohol acts as any other drug or toxin. A small amount is a stimulant, a larger amount acts as a depressant, and given enough it can and will kill you dead. Alcohol addiction acts as any other addiction; we simply give it its own name – alcoholism. Helping those who abuse alcohol involves cessation of use and withdrawal (often requiring close medical supervision in an alcoholics case), a full and complete detoxification of the body, followed by life skills to confront, deal with and effectively remove the cravings, guilt and depression that goes hand in hand with those who heavily abuse alcohol.

Detox and Addiction

Detox
Detox in many drug rehab programs involves weaning the addict or alcoholic off the use of the drugs or alcohol. While this is an important and vital action, it is only part of a true detoxification. One definition in the Encarta dictionary states; ‘process of removing or transforming poison’. At Narconon Arrowhead our ‘detox’ protocols include ceasing use of the drugs or alcohol as above, but also include the additional step of The New Life Detoxification Program. This extensive program involves an exact procedure for actually removing drugs and toxins from the body. Many, many addicts have reported a complete cessation of cravings following the New Life Detoxification Program. Detox is only the start of the healing process and needs to be as complete and thorough as possible to ensure lasting gains for a lifetime.

 

Inpatient Drug Rehab and Addiction

Inpatient Drug Rehab
Addiction treatment services are not all equal. Finding the correct inpatient drug rehab is essential. Some are withdrawal services only. Some inpatient drug rehab services embrace a drug free approach to rehabilitation while others feel that somehow more or different drugs are the answer. 12 step rehabs are the norm but with dismally low success rates inpatient drug rehab treatment is moving more and more in a non-traditional direction. Narconon Arrowhead is a drug free, long-term inpatient drug rehab that has been embracing non-traditional methodology for over 40 years with success rates that are among the highest of all inpatient drug rehabs – non-traditional or not.

 

Chemical Dependency Rehab and Addiction

Chemical Dependency Rehab
Chemical dependency rehab is an all inclusive term which covers addiction rehabilitation for a full array of drug and chemicals. Alcohol of course is included in any discussion of addiction and whenever drug addiction is spoken it should be understood that this includes alcohol – which can be one of the roughest addictions to treat and recover from. Illegal street drugs such as heroin, crack, and meth would come under this category of chemical dependency. One of the fastest growing areas of chemical dependency, abuse and addiction is coming from prescription drugs. More and more people entering a chemical dependency rehab are reporting prescription drug abuse in addition to their alcohol or illegal drug addiction and also as their primary drug of abuse or addiction. Many of these prescription drugs and chemicals build up tolerance which leads to abuse and addiction as well as having side effects that can be severe and life threatening, especially so when abused.
