Drug Rehab Clinic
Generally speaking a clinic is a medical facility (usually out-patient) which specializes in a particular condition or area of medicine.
A drug
rehab clinic would be a medical facility that more often than not offers services directed at the cessation of drug or alcohol use. This is an important part of
addiction recovery but is far from the entire story.
Many drug
rehab clinics use other drugs and medications in an attempt to handle the drug the individual is having problems with i.e. methadone clinics, etc.
While it is sometimes medically necessary to wean a person off of their drugs of
addiction or alcohol with the use of medication it is the minority of cases.
This of course would need to be decided by competent medical professionals and professional medical advice should be heeded. Long term use of replacement drugs or medications is not the answer to creating drug free productive lives.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Opium
addiction has a long history.
It was a problem in the 1850’s when morphine was developed as a non-addictive substitute.
Morphine was soon a bigger
addiction problem than opium.
The morphine problem was ‘solved’ with another opium derivative – Heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than either morphine or opium. In the middle and latter parts of the 20th century along come methadone as the cure for heroin.
You guessed it, methadone is stronger, more addictive, and more life threatening than any of the opium derivatives that came before it. Ask any methadone addict, or addiction professional dealing with
methadone addiction and withdrawal. By the 1990’s the mortality rate from opium derivatives was estimated to be 20 times greater than the general population.
If recovery means to return to a normal or improved state following a setback or loss then there is much more to
drug recovery than just ceasing to use drugs or alcohol.
Recovery means to confront and resolve the factors that lead to the drug or alcohol problem to begin with as well as acquiring tools and skills to allow one to move forward in a drug free productive life with constant fear of relapse.
Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non-traditional approach to the problems of drug recovery.
Our
drug recovery program addresses ALL factors necessary for full recovery from handlings of mental and physical cravings, to a resolution of the guilt and depression that goes hand in hand in leading up to and then continuing
addiction or alcoholism.
Rehab
detox is often considered to be merely withdrawal services.
Withdrawal while vital is not really the full
detoxification needed to insure a full handling for the drugs and toxins still in the body creating sometime uncontrollable cravings. The Narconon Arrowhead New Life
Detoxification Program fully handles the drugs and toxin residuals that lodge in the fatty tissues for months and years.
In moments of stress these drug residuals break loose from the fatty tissues when they can re-enter the blood stream creating intense mental and physical cravings even though the drug has not been used for some time.
This is one of the major reasons for relapse and continued use.
Most of Narconon Arrowhead participants report and end to cravings at the end of the
detoxification portion of the program accompanied by a marked resurgence in their overall sense of well being
Alcohol and drugs are often separated out in
addiction thinking for some reason.
These both are actually in the same category. All drugs are essentially poisons.
A small amount of a drug will act as a stimulant, a little more and it will act as a depressant, and given enough of any toxic substance and it will kill you dead.
Alcohol definitely falls into this category. In the case of extreme
alcoholism withdrawal from use can be one of the roughest of all drugs and can be life threatening. Once withdrawal is accomplished the
rehabilitation of an
alcoholic is quite similar to that of a drug addict – A thorough, complete, and long term handling of cravings, guilt, and depression resulting from and being perpetuated by the alcoholism.
