Medical Drugs
Medical drugs are generally prescribed as short term solutions in the handling of pain.
Many of these
medical drugs will build up tolerance in the system requiring increased amounts for the same effect. Thus dependence sets in and one begins taking these at abusive and addictive levels before long.
This accounts for drugs like OxyContin being more and more used in illegal black markets to handle
addiction to them. Black market illegal use of drugs such as these is outstripping legitimate use and prescription.
Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are much the same story with many school age children selling their prescriptions in the school yard.
Add the horrific side effects, some of which are life threatening, and what we see is an epidemic rise in the
abuse and
addiction to prescription medications.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences.
Next to methamphetamine, cocaine creates the greatest psychological dependence of any drug.
Compulsive cocaine use develops much more rapidly when the substance is smoked rather than snorted.
A tolerance to cocaine develops quickly – the addict soon fails to achieve as much pleasure as he or she did from the same amount of cocaine earlier.
Thus more and more cocaine is needed more and more often to maintain the same effect. Along with this increased use come increased health risks.
An
addiction center is a facility which would provide services to assist in eradicating
addiction on a personal or group level.
There are many different types.
Educational centers, community centers, hotlines, inpatient services, out patient services, and many others.
Narconon Arrowhead is a full service addiction center.
We are a long term, drug free and non-traditional drug
rehab facility. We have some of the highest success rates in the business in the field of individual drug
rehabilitation that lasts for a lifetime. We also are heavily involved in school drug education to educate and prevent students from heading down a road full of pain and misery. We are also an educational facility offering continuing education to addiction
treatment professionals to help in raising success rates not just a Narconon, but across the drug
rehabilitation field
At Narconon Arrowhead we apply the word recovery in its fullest sense.
We do not operate under the false assumption of once an addict, always an addict.
Recovery means to return to a normal state or an improved state following a setback or loss; it also means gaining back something lost.
Narconon Arrowhead specializes in
addiction recovery which leads to a drug free productive life for a lifetime.
Getting the drugs fully out of the body (not just withdrawal), handling the factors of cravings, guilt, and depression so often accompanying and adding to addiction, and the gaining of skills and abilities are all factors leading to full
addiction recovery. There is a definite difference between a program that stops drug use, but leaves the underlying reasons untouched, and a program that leads to recovery in the fullest sense of the definitions above.
If you or a loved one are in need of an
addiction recovery center Narconon Arrowhead is here and ready to be of assistance.
We are a long term, drug free, non-traditional
addiction recovery center. We operate from the firm foundation that addiction is not a disease and full
addiction recovery for a lifetime is no only possible but the norm for the majority of graduates from the Narconon Arrowhead program.
We operate off of results and not merely time spent in a rehab.
Our
addiction recovery center is a multi-phase comprehensive program handling all aspects of addiction, especially the cravings, guilt, and depression that are the major contributing factors to drug and alcohol addiction
