How Addiction Occurs
The cycle of
addiction begins with a problem, discomfort, or physical or emotional pain. Drugs or alcohol are used in an effort to find relief.
Short term temporary relief is found which give the drug or alcohol value in the eye of the user.
When confronted with the problem, pain, etc. again in the future the individual is prone to use the drug or alcohol again.
The problem arises when it takes more and more of the drug or alcohol to get the same effect and instead of handling the source of the problem or pain the drugs are continually used to mask the symptoms while the problem itself continues to get worse.
The drugs and alcohol themselves create new physical problems, shut of awareness and ability, all of which simply increases the symptoms to the point of the person being obsessed with finding and using the drugs or alcohol to numb himself, despite consequences to self and family.

Addictions can be classified by a condition of repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
Addictions is probably a more correct use of the term
addiction as most individuals entering
addiction treatment generally have more than one substance of abuse, beyond their primary one.
The strength, potency, and wide types of drugs and substances on the scene today make these
addictions the plague of the modern world.
There are only three possible outcomes for these addictions; jail, death, or sobriety, ultimately the addict must choose.
Prescription drug
addictions are on the rise, not only as primary substances of
abuse but also as secondary substances of abuse.
At Narconon Arrowhead statistics show significant numbers of program participants involved in multiple prescription drug
abuse along with any other reported drug
addiction or alcoholism.
This is no small problem when one takes into account the severe debilitating effects occurring on both the mental and physical levels from the abuse of these ‘medications’.
Couple this with severe and often deadly side effects from mixing these substances and the clear rise in violence and suicide that can accompany withdrawal and ones sees a whole new level of
treatment needed in handling today’s addictions.
Drug
rehab facilities are not all created equal and many different types exist.
There are in-patient and out-patient facilities, long term and short term, drug therapy and drug free, traditional and non traditional, just to name a few of the differences.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term in that rather than having a set time span, we operate off of results and this varies by individual.
Average time is 90-120 days.
We are also drug free in that we firmly believe that treating drug
addiction with other ‘maintenance’ type drugs is counter productive to producing a truly drug free productive life. We are also non-traditional and do not treat
addiction as a disease one has for life. Our 76% success rate speaks for itself.
