Success Story - Drug Rehabilitation Center

I came to Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehabilitation Center after years of using cocaine. I spent a year in prison for possession. I got out of prison and my use increased more than ever. I am 64 years old, a former founder and chairman of the board and C.E.O. of a public company. I had lost all hope of ever being a productive human being again. I have been at this drug rehab for some months and miracles have happened for me. My family has come back to me. I want to live and live to help others. I know I will never use drugs again. My life and I have changed incredibly. I want to contribute to making this world a better place to live. J.M.

Drug and Alcohol Rehabs and Addiction

Drug and Alcohol Rehabs
How does Narconon Arrowhead compare to other drug and alcohol rehabs? We are a long-term residential facility where the individual progress is measured by results and not time spent. Unlike some drug and alcohol rehabs we are a drug free facility. This means no substitute mood altering drugs or substances used in an effort to alleviate some other drug. We follow this up with a full detoxification program designed to remove the actual stored quantities of drugs and toxins from the body. Many short term drug and alcohol rehabs deal mainly in getting the person clean and teaching him how to live as an addict or alcoholic. Narconon Arrowhead deals with terminatedly handling the addiction or alcoholism and giving the individual the skills, abilities, health, and personal certainty to live a drug free and productive life.

Rehab Treatment Center and Addiction

Rehab Treatment Center
At Narconon Arrowhead rehab treatment center we recognize depression as a factor the locks an addict into his addiction. Depression is a source of significant discomfort that prompts continued use and is a major barrier to recovery. Some traditional medical and psychiatric-based programs treat the depression as the cause of addiction with further drugs and medications which only serve to mask the symptoms. Once these additional drugs wear off, depression returns, often worse. This makes the recovery process more difficult, if not impossible. In most cases depression actually manifests itself after the person becomes addicted, not before. The cause of the depression is linked to the drugs themselves.

 

Drug – Methamphetamine and Addiction

Drug – Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine addiction is growing at alarming rates in all areas of the country and has reached epidemic proportions. All drug addiction takes you one of two places unless sobriety for a lifetime is achieved – death or jail. Methamphetamine takes one on this downward slide with alarming speed. Methamphetamine quickly burns up the body’s resources creating horrible dependence that can only be relieved by more of the drug. In 2005, 58% of all U.S. law enforcement personnel identified methamphetamine abuse and addiction as their biggest drug problem.

 

Illegal Drug and Addiction

Illegal Drug
Many people mistakenly believe the drug problems of our culture center around the use of an illegal drug or substance. While these drugs certainly play a major role in drug abuse and addiction the problem is definitely not confined to the illegal drug. In fact one of the fastest growing areas of drug treatment lies in the area of abuse and addiction to prescription drugs. Painkillers, Anti-Depressants, and Anti-Psychotics have all shown epidemic rises in addiction and addiction treatment. Many of these drugs have black box warnings from the FDA of some of the severe and often life threatening side affects that can occur with their use, let alone use at abusive and addictive levels. Some of these prescriptions drugs are finding there way into use as treatments for illegal drug abuse. This has the analogy of jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
