Outpatient Rehab
An outpatient
rehab is a drug
treatment facility where the individual goes for
treatment and then returns home at the end of the day. It could be the personal goes for a
counseling session, or perhaps a seminar.
All day seminars are often used as well.
These offer viable services for those with a lighter
abuse problem or as a starting point for full treatment. One thing that should be watched for in medical outpatient rehabs is the use of additional drugs in a mistaken attempt to handle the current drug problem, such as methadone.
For most with a serious drug
abuse and
addiction problem an impatient and more long term treatment program is more effective, though outpatient treatment can be a good beginning if chosen carefully.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Narconon Arrowhead is an adult drug rehab, meaning the minimum age for enrollment in our program is 18 years old.
Other than that age limitation, individuals come from varied backgrounds and experiences.
We range in age from 18 to 80; individuals hail from all around the world, and run the entire gamut of educational, financial, and career backgrounds.
We find the melting pot to be extremely advantageous in handling the
addiction problem.
Addicts and
alcoholic are generally very selfish and self centered at the height of their addictions. As the new person moves through our program they find addicts helping addicts, which is a very strong force, as nobody knows the condition better than someone who has been there. Gaining the ability and desire to help another is a key point in extroverting the addict once again in preparing them to re-enter home or society.
What is the connection and where is the line between substance
abuse and addiction?
Drug use begins as an attempt to relieve some sort of pain, whether emotion or physical pain or a combination of the two.
The drugs do not solve or remedy the source of mental or physical pain but rather mask or remove symptoms only. As one uses more and more of the drugs in attempt to escape the stresses of life rather than solve them
abuse sets in, often accompanied by abuse of additional substances.
When the individual finds himself unable and/or unwilling to cease use on his own and life revolves around obtaining and using more and more drugs despite attempts to stop
addiction has set in.
Narconon Arrowhead handles all the factors involved in
substance abuse or
addiction and give back to the individual a drug free and productive life.
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.
A
rehab program should be a series of steps done in sequence to gradually increase a person’s mental, emotional, and physical health.
This involves a full and complete handling of cravings, guilt and depression that accompany any
addiction and addictive lifestyle.
These are also the major sources of continued
drug use and relapse.
The program would also include an increase in skills and abilities that will be needed for the restoring of relationships, trust, finances, career, hopes and dreams.
All this is not only possible but is being achieved on a daily basis at Narconon Arrowhead. Our 76% success rate when compared to 16-20% for more traditional short term programs speaks for itself.
