The most recent wave of drug addiction happens to be those drugs prescribed by physicians. There are several reasons for this. The availability of prescription drugs and the direct advertising to consumers plays a role. The phrase "buyer beware" is of the utmost importance when one is talking drugs, no matter the condition they are taken for.
Prescription drug addiction treatment has been more and more needed as more and more consumers are taking increasing numbers of drugs. The Narconon program is an successful drug treatment program for prescription drugs and as such they have seen an increasing number of prescription drug addicts coming to them for help.
A survey done by the National Institute on drug abuse reports that 48 million people-about 20 percent of the U.S. population-aged 12 or older had used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons in their lifetimes. When one considers these numbers it is no mystery why so many Americans are showing up in drug rehab hooked on their doctors prescriptions or those obtained off the street.
Pain is the usual reason one begins taking prescription painkillers. However, unless the underlying reason for the pain is addressed either structurally, as in setting a bone, or nutritionally or pathologically, the patient continues to suffer long-term and more and more relies on prescription pain killers to ease the pain. The unfortunate part is that as one continue to take pain killers, they cease to deaden the pain as they initially did, requiring the user to use larger and larger doses. The result can be addiction.
The Narconon program addresses prescription addiction by first having the person medically examined to locate any underlying deficiencies or illnesses. The person is then helped with nutritional supplements that aid withdrawal and gentle physical techniques that assist withdrawal.
The program's next step is removing the drug residues from the person's body with a safe sauna program that is nutritionally balanced and has been proven to do just that.
The personal issues the person was having that led to his addiction are then addressed so that he can become more able in life and have the knowledge he needs to handle life's problems and not have to resort to drug use as a solution. Underlying stress is often a cause of many physical ailments that may have led to the need for pain pills to begin with.
By doing the full Narconon program, the person is able to come off of drugs and live a happy drug-free life.
