Addiction Clinics
Addiction clinics are generally out-patient facilities which offer various services to aid in
addiction recovery. Some, such as methadone clinics, are actually involved in simply substituting one drug or another.
This is misguided help as replacing one drug with another is never a long term solution to drug addiction.
This is not to say that
addiction clinics don’t offer some valuable services, most of them do.
An addiction clinic can be a starting point in confronting addiction.
Following up clinic services with a comprehensive long term, impatient drug
rehabilitation program is the best insurance for a drug free productive life. Narconon Arrowhead is such a facility.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Opium
addiction has a long history.
It was a problem in the 1850’s when morphine was developed as a non-addictive substitute.
Morphine was soon a bigger
addiction problem than opium.
The morphine problem was ‘solved’ with another opium derivative – Heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than either morphine or opium. In the middle and latter parts of the 20th century along come methadone as the cure for heroin.
You guessed it, methadone is stronger, more addictive, and more life threatening than any of the opium derivatives that came before it. Ask any methadone addict, or addiction professional dealing with
methadone addiction and withdrawal. By the 1990’s the mortality rate from opium derivatives was estimated to be 20 times greater than the general population.
Researching and choosing the best drug
rehab is a daunting task at best.
There is long-term, short-term, traditional, non-traditional, inpatient, outpatient, etc... Understanding
rehabilitation as restoring something or someone to a previous condition helps in sorting out the various forms of drug rehab.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long-term, non-traditional drug rehab.
We specialize in creating drug free productive lives, not someone who has simply stopped drug or alcohol use for the moment.
Effective drug
rehab should involve the full and complete handling of the three factors that lay behind continued
drug use and numerous relapses. First are mental and physical cravings for drugs or alcohol. Second and third are guilt and depression resulting from the situations and circumstances of our addiction, as well as various forms of these three that led up to initial drug and alcohol use to begin with. There is more to
drug rehab than simply ceasing drug or alcohol use.
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.
A relapse to substance
abuse can occur when the individual has not fully confronted and handled the personal issues leading up and then continuing the substance abuse.
Relapse is almost inevitable if there are unhandled cravings, guilt, and depression issues that have not been fully resolved. Relapse is a desire to mask these symptoms with the same substances that helped create them.
Getting someone to cease use and through an effective withdrawal process is only the beginning of the puzzle of substance abuse.
At Narconon Arrowhead a majority of our staff are past substance abusers themselves and know what it takes to resolve the problems of cravings, guilt, and depression in a manner that lasts.
With new skills and abilities learned at Narconon one is able to obtain lasting relief without the need to run away and continually numb themselves with further substances. Happy, drug free, and productive for a lifetime is the goal at Narconon Arrowhead, our 76% success rate speaks for itself.
