Heroin Addiction
Heroin addiction, as with any of the opium derivatives, creates a severe physical/mental dependency. With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more and more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. With heroin
addiction the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in heroin
addiction may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘cold turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms.
Narconon Arrowheads unique approach to withdrawal keeps these symptoms to a minimum and by actual report sometimes totally removes these symptoms.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Drug statistics abound in government, educational, and private studies.
These can be enlightening and informative. The
drug statistics from these studies are generally disheartening and leave one without much hope a good amount of the time.
When is comes to
drug statistics the one you are probably most interested in is that of yourself or a loved one.
If you’re looking at this website then it has become personal for you in one form or another. Well here is a statistic that may engender a little hope for you; Narconon Arrowhead has a 76% success rate among our program graduates, one of the best in the field.
We do not believe that
rehabilitation is fleeting and subject to relapse. We work from a strong foundation of routinely creating drug free productive individuals for a lifetime!
Effective drug or alcohol
rehab starts with really understanding exactly what
rehabilitation is.
Rehabilitate in its broad sense means to restore to a previous condition.
Any
rehab to be effective needs to address the three factors which lead up to and cause
addiction to continue.
These are mental and physical cravings, quilt, and depression.
Drug and alcohol
abuse stems from mental or physical pain an individual does not wish to confront or deal with. The drugs or alcohol only appear to alleviate these conditions and after a time contribute to them as well as creating new sources in and endless cycle and trap known as addiction. Confronting and effectively handling the conditions brought about by cravings, quilt, and depression allows the addicted individual to truly ‘rehab’ him or herself and so be restored to a previous condition or at least as close as possible. Narconon Arrowhead is much more than a
detox center where the individual simply quits using for a period. Narconon Arrowhead
drug rehab methodologies fully handle the above factors allowing one to truly rehabilitate a previous condition and so remove the need for further drug or alcohol use as a false solution to living the life they want.
Abuse and Addiction?
Where is the line between the two and what is the difference?
In terms of drug use, ‘abuse’ is the harmful or illegal use of non-medicinal use of drugs or alcohol.
If we define
addiction as a mental or physical dependence or drugs or alcohol we can see that the lines are often blurred.
Many people feel Drug
Rehab is only for those with an addiction. A comprehensive drug
rehab such as Narconon Arrowhead will also address those with an
abuse problem and in fact many people who feel they only have an
abuse problem are in fact in the deadly grasp of
addiction without realizing it. Drug abuse is always part of the addiction cycle. A quality
rehab program is able to evaluate the underlying causes of
substance abuse problems and help the abuser put workable solutions into place before their entire life crumbles around them. Narconon Arrowhead successfully helps the individual help themselves – no matter the stage of abuse or addiction.
There are various forms and methods of ingesting drugs and toxins. Orally, nasally, injecting, and smoking are a few of these. The effects from smoking drugs as opposed to orally ingesting them or nasally generally creates a more intense effect faster. This is one of the factors that make crack cocaine a tougher
addiction to break than powder cocaine.
Drugs like Oxycontin are often ground up and mixed with other drugs and smoked for faster more intense highs as well. Also many times the harder drugs like heroin are smoked under the misunderstanding that the risk of
addiction is lower and this is definitely not true.
Addiction is addiction, some methods of taking drugs will take you to addiction faster and with more devastating effects.
