Farmington, Missouri Drug Rehab Information

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.

At Narconon Arrowhead we realize that in a majority of cases we are dealing with individuals who not only have a drug or alcohol problem but who abuse drugs in the plural sense, meaning more than one drug of abuse. One of course will have a primary drug of abuse, but in this society at this time the ready availability of various legal and illegal substances make abuse of multiple drugs the reality for most. Each drug or substance has its own effects on the individual both mentally and physically. Effective drug rehab methodologies will confront and deal with this reality. Narconon drug rehab methodologies have embraced this reality for over 40 years with the highest long term success rates in the field.

All drug rehab programs are not created equal; there are many different types and formats. There are long term, short term, in-patient, out-patient, traditional 12 step, and non traditional to name but a few. One big difference to be aware of is whether or not the drug rehab programs you may be looking at are drug free or whether the program embraces the use of other or substitute or additional drugs and ‘medications’ in an effort to control or alleviate addiction. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non traditional, drug free approach to the problems of abuse and addiction. These points set us apart from many of the other drug rehab programs available. We start with the assumption that the being is basically good and despite any appearances to the contrary actually wants to attain a completely drug free productive life. The Narconon program embraces many, many different factors that stop or inhibit the individual from reaching this goal. The majority of Narconon staff are ex-addicts and alcoholics themselves and know what it takes to get lasting results – we’ve been there! When examining the various drug rehab programs look for one thing – LASTING results and success.

What kind of drug abuse treatment center is Narconon Arrowhead? Well, Narconon is a long term, drug free, non-traditional drug abuse treatment center. What this means is that Narconon for one does not believe in the use of drugs in the treatment of drug or alcohol abuse. Rather we address the factors leading up to and then continuing alcohol and drug abuse. Substituting one drug for another just makes no sense! We are long term in that the program is designed for results not amount of time spent in rehab. Our average stay is generally 90 – 120 days depending on individual needs. Our students go at their own pace to insure the full abilities needed are gained. We are also non-traditional meaning the normal 12 step methodologies common to shorter programs and not used by rather an approach of gaining and using new abilities to produce a happy and drug free, productive life.
