Does Television Promote Drug Abuse?
Just recently, VH1’s reality show, Celebrity Rehab, has started production on its fourth season. The show, which films celebrities on their quest to rid themselves of their addictions, has become known for allowing viewers a front row seat into the struggle, pain and self reflection that is inevitable when dealing with substance abuse issues.
For those who have seen someone struggle with a drug addiction, or have struggled with an addiction themselves, they are all too familiar with the long, lonely road that is traveled in order to attain sobriety. In fact, attaining permanent sobriety is one of the hardest things that a person can do. That is, unless you enroll in an effective drug rehab.
One such rehab is Narconon Louisiana. Narconon Louisiana is fast becoming one of the premier facilities in the U.S. This is mostly attributed to their unheard of success rate of 76% and the quiet, serene atmosphere that addicts are surrounded by while embarking on their quest for sobriety. There are several components to the Narconon Louisiana program, all of which contribute to their ability to help people stay off drugs and alcohol for the rest of their life.
Upon entering into the Narconon program, clients are able to detoxify their bodies using a dry-heat sauna. This is the same program that has gained recognition in New York, allowing hundreds of 9/11 rescue workers to rid their bodies of the harmful chemicals and debris that were ingested during the clean up efforts and in Utah, where the police force routinely sends their law enforcement officers to do the sauna program in order to detoxify themselves from the harmful chemicals they are exposed to when dealing with toxic methamphetamine laboratories. This program, however, fully handled the physical aspect of addiction by allowing addicts to sweat out toxic drug residues that are one of the number one reasons why relapse occur.
In addition to the sauna program, clients work one on one with a counselor in order to figure out what problem drugs and alcohol were solutions for in the first place. Once that problem is isolated and handled, clients no longer have to live their life falling into the same traps which perpetuate the drug and/or alcohol abuse.
So, while Celebrity Rehab may open many people’s eyes to the quickly growing drug epidemic in our society, it is good to know that there are effective treatment programs out there, like Narconon Louisiana that can permanently handle addiction. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a drug or alcohol addiction, please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.
