Substance abuse is an increasing problem in today’s society. The economic problems of recent years has left millions jobless and feeling adrift. In these instances, individuals often turn to drugs or alcohol as an escape from their anxiety or depression. So begins the cycle of substance abuse from which many do not escape. In times like these, you need a solid, proven substance abuse recovery program for your friends and loved ones who are mired in drug or alcohol dependence. In fact, most individuals are unable to kick their destructive habits without professional help. Narconon Freedom Center provides the aid that addicts need to end their substance abuse and become productive members of society again.
Statistics from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration or SAMHSA presents a dismal picture of substance abuse recovery rates in most US states. A study published in 2004 showed that only about 40 percent of patients have actually completed any kind of rehab program for substance abuse. However, many of these individuals relapse even after completing these programs, which are often attributed to home or social stresses that the patient faced after leaving the facility. A study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse found that recovery rates were higher when the patient completed an inpatient substance abuse recovery program. These patients also had better coping skills when they reenter the real world. The key is to find a program that combines proven methods with a healthy environment conducive to recovery from drug addiction.
Narconon Freedom Center has the mission to enable patients to recover successfully from their addiction through a high-quality, multi-faceted stay-in arrangement. We have designed substance abuse recovery programs tailored for specific age groups, with each group having its own professional staff. We also monitor the patient’s recovery progress diligently each day and provide expert help 24/7 to patients.
Part of our recovery program at Narconon provides medical treatments to purge toxins from the patient’s body and place the patient in a neutral and stress-free setting to avoid triggering any negative, anti-social behavior. This environment helps patients to deal with withdrawal symptoms, which are especially acute at the beginning of treatment. Activities are scheduled each day not only to help patients cope with withdrawal but also to encourage socializing with their fellow patients. We also train the patient to handle everyday situations without having to turn to substance abuse for relief. For example, the patient is taught skills such as effective communication, problem-solving, moral responsibility, and avoiding people and circumstances that are potentially harmful. Moreover, we gear the patient’s activities toward helping the patient regain his own self esteem, integrity, and sense of values, which are all important for patient recovery during and after their stay at the facility.
Ultimately, it is the patient’s own determination that will enable him to overcome his addiction. However, Narconon Freedom Center’s superior substance abuse recovery program provides the help and skills training these individuals need to be successful in their recovery. In fact, our methods have enabled our patients to enjoy a 70% success rate in their battle with addiction.
