Success Story for Drug Rehab

When I first came to Narconon Arrowhead’s Drug Rehab, I was shooting five grams of heroin and had no hope. I had tried numerous Twelve step programs. My parents and probation officer were running out of hope and so was I. This drug rehab program has more than met my expectations, along with those of my parents and parole officer. Every other drug rehab program I’ve been to wanted to load me up with psych meds and mess me up even more. I have finally felt what it is like to be normal. I’ve been off all medications including over-the-counter ones for months. When I came here to this drug rehab, I thought my life was over. Due to the technology here, I have been educated and and have forgotten what being a drug addict felt like. I feel so strong and I like myself again. It has been an amazing experience. M.S.

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.”

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in regular abusers may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘old turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal is considered much less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal.

 

LSD Addiction and Addiction

LSD Addiction
LSD is one of the most psychologically damaging drugs available on the streets today. LSD users may manifest relatively long-lasting psychoses such as schizophrenia or severe depression, even after only one use. There is a tolerance that can build up requiring larger and larger doses to induce the “LSD trip”, but is there such a thing as LSD addiction? Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. Many individuals coming to addiction treatment for LSD report using more and more of the drug more frequently over time with many of these individuals binging on the drug for long periods of time.

 

Rehab Program and Addiction

Rehab Program
When searching for an effective rehab program one can be flooded and confused with all the different options. How does one sort through this myriad of choices? The starting point should be experience and success rates. Does the rehab program you are considering have a track record of success for a period of years? If it’s not stated, ask. The goal is a drug free and productive lifestyle that lasts for a lifetime, not merely stopping drug use. Narconon Arrowhead has over 40 years of experience with a success rate often exceeding 70%. This is compared to average of 5-15% for many of the more traditional rehab programs. Whether Narconon Arrowhead is your choice or not, look for and insist on experience, effectiveness, and success rates.
