Drug Patient
At Narconon Arrowhead we do no refer to our participants as ‘patients’ but rather they are considered ‘students’. Using the word ‘patient’ tends to give an erroneous impression of illness and disease, which is not the main thrust of our program.
Certainly issues of health and nutrition need to corrected, especially in the withdrawal and
detoxification phases of the program. The term student is used as we are educating the individual into the use of the tools and abilities needed to sustain a continuous drug free productive life and to confront and resolve the three main factors behind relapse and continued use.
Addiction is not a disease of a lifetime.
It can and is being ended on a daily basis here a Narconon Arrowhead.
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.
Cravings (both mental and physical) for increasing and continuing use of drugs and alcohol.
Guilt as a result of all the harm and damage done to self, loved ones, and others.
Depression resulting from failed hopes and dreams, and the feelings of being trapped in a vicious cycle with no escape.
These are the points that must be handled by a drug and alcohol
rehab center if that
treatment is to be effective and create change for a lifetime.
An effective drug and alcohol
rehab center knows there is much more to
treatment than merely getting someone to quit using. At Narconon Arrowhead we know there are only three paths available once
addiction or
alcoholism has set in – jail, death, or sobriety. A drug and alcohol free life is possible without constant worry of relapse.
If you or a loved one is in the full grip of the downward spiral of addiction, looking to
addiction centers can offer information, help, and assistance for an otherwise hopeless situation.
Many
addiction centers have websites which can be a rich source of information regarding addiction and on specific drugs.
Addiction centers have varying philosophies regarding addiction which should be obtainable from their websites as well. The main thing one is looking for when considering any
addiction centers should be proven results over an extended period of time.
