Substance Abuse Costs Lives Every Year in Mississippi
Substance abuse is the nation’s number one health-related problem and the effects can be seen in Mississippi. Drug and alcohol addiction is the root cause to many other societal problems and it costs our country up to $500 billion each year, in addition to the thousands of lives lost, broken homes and drug-related crime.
Most addiction treatment centers have a limited success rate, where the majority of the clients relapse. This is not the case with Narconon Arrowhead. In fact, approximately 70% of the graduates of our drug and alcohol rehab remain drug free.

Drug Rehab Information By State
The dangers and harm done by marijuana use has been under debate for decades and show no signs of lessening.
Whether marijuana
addiction exists or not is even more hotly debated.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences.
When
addiction exists, the drug controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. Statistics do show increasing numbers of people entering addiction
treatment reporting marijuana as their primary drug of abuse. Add to this the much stronger strains of marijuana available and the tendency to mix the drug with other substances such or crack and PCP and the potential for addiction becomes more pronounced.
Rather than endlessly debate the issue, one should simply look at the marijuana use of self or a loved one against the above definition.
Drug Rehab Information By City
The chemical cocaine hydrochloride is commonly known as cocaine. Some users chemically process cocaine in order to remove the hydrochloride. This process is called ‘freebasing’ and makes the drug more potent. ‘Crack’ is a solid form of freebased cocaine. It is called ‘crack’ because it snaps and cracks when heated and smoked.
Traditionally, cocaine was a rich man's drug, due to the large expense of a cocaine habit. Now, crack is being sold at prices low enough that even adolescents can afford to buy it. But, this is misleading, since once a person has a crack cocaine addiction, his ‘habit’ often increases, and so does his expense.
At Narconon Arrowhead drug
treatment does not include further drugs or medications in an attempt to handle already existing drug
abuse and
addiction problems. Narconon Arrowhead is a drug free, long-term, non-traditional, residential
treatment facility.
Narconon Arrowhead believes in fully handling the factors of cravings, quilt, and depression.
These three factors have been proven over and over again to be the main stumbling blocks in not only ceasing drug
addiction but also in achieving a drug free lifetime that lasts for a lifetime.
Substituting one substance for another is not a workable answer or a substitute for actually confronting and handling the underlying mental, emotional, and physical reasons that led up to and then continued the addiction.
Cravings are extremely powerful urges to use drugs or alcohol again. When triggered,they often cause a person to imagine all kinds of reasons they should begin using drugs or drinking again. Once he or she has relapsed, the addict is now trapped in an endless cycle of trying to quit, craving, relapse and fear of withdrawal. In many drug
rehab programs, these cravings are addressed by administering medications that prevent the onset of withdrawal, and that replace the body’s need for the original drug with a substitute substance. The problem with this approach is that the body’s cravings are masked by the substitute drug and are not eliminated and the individual is not learning to build a new drug-free life. If the medication is dropped, the cravings show up and the person is very likely to lose the battle to stay off his or her drug of choice.
