Detoxification
Many programs consider withdrawal from the particular drug of
addiction to be detoxification.
The is only a partial answer and when substitute drugs are given to replace the substance of
abuse this is hardly
detoxification at all and is often simply trading one substance for another, as in the use of some anti-depressants, or drugs like methadone, etc.
Detoxification means to remove drugs, poisons and toxins from the body as fully as possible.
Research clearly indicates that these substances will store in the fatty tissues of the body for months and even years.
This in part accounts for drugged feeling and cravings appearing long after use has ceased. At Narconon Arrowhead we follow up withdrawal from use with the New Life
Detoxification Program. This is state of the art
detoxification embracing nutrition, exercise, and sauna routines to flush the stored drugs and toxins from the body. Many of the people completing this detoxification program report a complete handling and end of drug cravings, with rises in intelligence and ability demonstrated by actual test results.

Relapse recovery comes about from a failure in the first place to handle the three main factors causing relapse.
First are cravings for drugs or alcohol (both mental and physical). One of the main causes of this is an inadequate detoxification.
Withdrawal procedures are simply the start and are by no means a complete detoxification.
Second and third are the unhandled feelings of guilt and depression resulting from harm and damage done to self and loved ones, and the sacrifices made in personal beliefs and values as a result of doing whatever is necessary to obtain and continue using drugs and/or alcohol.
When these points are fully handled the incidence of relapse drops away and one is finally able to have a lasting and happy drug free productive life.
A short stay in a
rehab hospital is sometimes and important and vital beginning to the drug
rehabilitation process.
This is not required in all cases by a long ways.
However some extreme cases of
alcoholism as well as some cases of prescription drug
abuse necessitate very close medical supervision.
These substances can present life threatening side affects is use is ceased cold turkey.
This is quite different from randomly giving out substitute drugs because someone is uncomfortable or fearful. This should be evaluated by competent medical professionals who are thoroughly familiar with the
treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Most addicts do well with a drug free withdrawal process, while a small percentage are going to require a medically supervised step down at a
rehab hospital.
Drug
abuse begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain for which the individual does not have an immediate answer. The person feels that his problem or pain is major, persistent, and without solution or relief.
For these reasons, some people, young or old, male or female, high income or low, begin to use potentially addictive drugs or alcohol in an attempt to relieve the pain or discomfort.
These drugs may even offer temporary relief.
At this point the individual will continue to use in an effort to find continuing relief.
Tolerance for the drug or alcohol sets in requiring larger and larger doses more and more often to obtain the same results. At this point the door has been opened to drug
abuse and it is only a short walk to full blown addiction.
