There is a Continuing Desperate Need for Substance Abuse Treatment Programs in Oklahoma
If you turn on the television or read the newspaper, on a daily basis there are reports of drug related issues that are plaguing Oklahoma. Many Oklahomans believe that drug addiction is just a way of life and you have to live with it every single day for the rest of your life. What many Oklahomans do not know s that substance abuse treatment programs, like Oklahoma’s Narconon Arrowhead, can end drug abuse and give a person their life back.
On the one hand, it is reported by the White House Drug Policy that 16,860 individuals were admitted to substance abuse treatment facilities of all sorts in 2007. However, according to National Survey on Drug Use and Health data in 2005-2006, approximately 77,000 Oklahoma residents reported needing but not receiving treatment for illicit drug use. It is probably safe to say that the other 60,000+ are still addicted and do not know what to do about their addictions. Unfortunately, many of these people feel like it is a lost cause and they should give up hope.
One of the complications Oklahomans face is seeking a substance abuse treatment facility that is going to handle all aspects of their addiction. Narconon Arrowhead provides a full addiction assessment to find out what steps need to be taken to get a full recovery. Many Oklahomans have addictions so severe that they will need to enter a long-term, residential drug rehabilitation program to handle their addictions fully.
“Our program is well aware of the desperate need for substance abuse treatment in Oklahoma,” states Rebecca Pool, C.A.D.C. (Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor). “Narconon Arrowhead receives calls every day from residents of Oklahoma who do not know what to do about addiction. These people enter our program and upon completion have the tools and skills necessary to go out and live a drug free life and be a positive, contributing member of society. When a person enters the Narconon program, they are hopeless and don’t know where to turn. Narconon gives a person their life back and gives hope to the families of those addicted as well.”
Narconon is a non-traditional substance abuse treatment program that handles both the mental and physical aspects of a person’s addiction. With this unique approach, the program achieves over a 70% success rate of those it graduates. Narconon Arrowhead, Narconon's premier facility, located in Oklahoma on 216 acres in Arrowhead State Park, is truly a comprehensive program for an addict who is trying to recover from addiction. The peaceful setting we offer here is like no other and our highly trained staff is 100% dedicated to helping our clients overcome their addictions. Narconon Arrowhead first opened its doors in 2000 and started delivering drug education across the nation in 2001 in an attempt to help prevent addiction before it starts.
