Drug Rehab Finds Solution To Revolving Door Of Heroin Addiction
Have you ever known anyone addicted to heroin? If you have, you have probably asked yourself “why don’t they just stop?” This question can come up especially when you see the person lying, stealing, cheating and manipulating in order to obtain the drug. Or you may have asked yourself this question when you saw lose things in life such as a job, a home and even their family. Well this article attempts to explain some of the biggest reasons why a person has such a difficult time stopping the use of this drug.
This insidious drug solidifies a person as a heroin addict by the withdrawal symptoms that an addict will experience when they do not take the drug. The most common withdrawal symptoms include; vomiting, insomnia, depression, leg cramps, body aches, hot and cold sweats, severe cravings, headaches and diarrhea. Depending on the amount of heroin and the length of time, these withdrawal symptoms can last anywhere from a few days to a month.
In addition to the painful withdrawal symptoms addicts go through when they don’t have enough heroin, they are also contending with severe cravings. Unfortunately, every heroin addict knows the solution to the withdrawal symptoms is more heroin. This never ending cycle of withdrawal symptoms and using to avoid withdrawal symptoms is what keeps the heroin addict a heroin addict.
The only real solution for a heroin addiction is to enroll in a long-term drug and alcohol rehab.
One such rehab is Narconon Louisiana. This long-term, inpatient program is quickly becoming known for their effective methods in rehabilitating individuals. Narconon Louisiana does not adhere to the idea that addiction is a disease. Instead, clients work one on one with a counselor to figure out what problems drugs and alcohol were solutions for in the first place. Once that problem is isolated and handled clients no longer need to resort to drugs like heroin as solutions.
Narconon Louisiana attributes its 76% success rate to some very unique components. Upon arriving for rehab, clients spend several days with a counselor focusing on their nutrition and vitamin supply. One of the biggest reasons why a person feels so bad when they try to come off heroin is because drugs rob the body of the essential vitamins and nutrients. Narconon Louisiana ensures that every client replenishes these deficiencies, therefore handling the vicious withdrawal symptoms that are historically so hard to get past.
In addition to this proactive approach to withdrawal, clients are able to rid their bodies of the source of their intense cravings by several sessions in a dry heat sauna that significantly reduces physical drug cravings.
