Drug and Alcohol Rehabs

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.

Drug Side Effects and Addiction

Drug Side Effects
Drug side effects is really not an applicable term when one is talking about the effects caused by illegal street drugs. Effects can generally be broken in mental and physical categories. Drugs use up nutritional and vitamin stores very quickly leaving the body open to all sorts of illness and maladies and many physical effects are the result of these deficiencies. Drug induced neurosis and psychosis is the easiest way to explain the hundreds of various mental and emotional side effects from drug use and addiction. With prescription drugs, many of the side effects are quite debilitating and life threatening even when taken as prescribed, let alone at abusive levels.

 

Symptoms of Addiction and Addiction

Symptoms of Addiction
Each drug or substance can of course have its own symptoms of abuse and addiction; however there are a couple of general points that can be made about addiction. Addiction generally is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by physiological and physical dependence with the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the drug or alcohol is rapidly decreased or terminated. When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. With addiction life more and more revolves around getting and using the drugs. Family, health, career, finances, all take more and more of a back seat as important factors in life as the addiction continues to increasingly absorb the addicts attention and energies.

 

Addiction and Addiction

Addiction
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite social, mental, and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence on the abused substance and the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the addictive substance is rapidly decreased or terminated. When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. Many of today’s illegal drugs are extremely addictive as well a many prescription drugs – particularly ones for depression and sleep problems, as well as painkillers.

 

Alcohol Addiction and Addiction

Alcohol Addiction
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.
