Imagine living a life of complete chaos because of a drug addiction. One day you decide you want help and go into a treatment program hoping to stay off drugs for good, but days, weeks or months after treatment you are using again. This is the cycle that most addicts go through when trying to get help through typcial drug rehab programs.
According to “Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment: A Research Based Guide” issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), “Drug use during treatment must be monitored continuously, as lapses during treatment do occur.” And many schools of thought state that “relapse is a part of recovery.” This in itself may be something that is often observed, but only in the case where the type of treatment does not get the desired result for the client; permanent recovery from drug abuse.
One ex-addict Patrick Brenna* was in and out of drug rehab programs for most of his life before finding the right type of treatment that helped him to stop using drugs for good. Addicted to cocaine, heroin, OxyContin©, ecstasy and alcohol, he tried many drug treatment programs that didn’t work for him. Patrick was looking at some major jail time when his parents found the Narconon Freedom Center drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.
Unlike traditional treatment, Patrick was very hopeful when he found out that Narconon uses a sauna detoxification program that actually removes drug residues from the body, something that has been shown to reduce physical cravings for drugs and stop relapse. After completing the sauna deto program, Patrick explained that he “felt the best he ever had” and that he “no longer had the urge to use drugs.”
Patrick then went through the life skills portion of the Narconon Freedom Center that handles the mental and emotional components of addiction by getting to the underlying reasons why a person started using drugs in the first place. Once this is found the objective becomes finding alternative solutions to those problems in life so that drugs are no longer sought for relief and the desire to use them goes away.
Since completing the Narconon program, Patrick has just celebrated 2 years clean and sober. He explains that before Narconon he went through five drug rehab programs with no success.
The truth is the relapse does not have to be a part of recovery if the drug treatment program that a person chooses to participate in gets results. If you or someone you know is struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction that needs a drug rehab program that gets results call Narconon Freedom Center today at 888-248-9478.
