Narconon Drug Rehab Restores Abilities
When a person is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol it is often times hard to see anything other than their addiction. The inability to trust them, their lack of participation in their family, friends and job, and general apathy towards life gets all rolled into one when you are dealing with an addiction. This is the effect that substance abuse has on a person, but it doesn’t have to be permanent. In fact, with effective rehabilitation, one can overcome all these barriers and lead a happy, drug-free, productive life.
One alcohol and drug rehab proves that this can be done on a daily basis, evidenced by their 76% success rate for permanent recovery. Located just outside of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Narconon Louisiana is situated on 18 acres and has been creating drug-free lives for over four years. Their formula for success may best be described by their ability to break free from the traditional rehab mold.
Despite the worldwide popularity of 12-step programs, Narconon Louisiana takes an entirely different approach to rehabilitation. This program does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease, instead clients work one on one with a counselor to figure out what problem drugs and alcohol were a solution for. In addition to this pro-active approach to addiction, one of the largest portions of this program deals with re-entering into society and what is expected of an individual. This allows former addicts to essentially change their viewpoint from selfishness and what is best for them and them only, to a more diverse understanding of what is expected of them.
A key part of the Narconon program called, The Way To Happiness, is a detailed course that gives clients a step-by-step outline of the different morals society views as important and necessary. For instance, there is an entire chapter dedicated to fulfilling one’s obligations. Prior to rehabilitation the idea that a person addicted to drugs and/or alcohol would put them and their immediate desires on hold to handle some prior engagement is almost unheard of, however after completing The Way To Happiness Course clients are able to take on and handle more responsibility.
In addition To The Way To Happiness Course, there are several other parts to the Narconon program. Clients are able to once and for all handle cravings, which are so often the downfall to sobriety, they are able to handle the traps in their mind that continually come up and cause them to do irrational things and they have an opportunity to handle the different areas in their lives. All this is done so that a person who was once a drug and/or alcohol addict can live a life without the constant need to resort to poisons as a method to get through life.
Drug and alcohol addiction does not have to go unhandled. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a substance abuse problem please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650. Help is available.
