Drug Rehab Celebrates Freedom From Drugs

Independence Day Includes Freedom To Be Sober

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

If you know someone who is taking drugs and can’t seem to stop, the Narconon Drug Rehab GA Program can help.

As the 4th of July celebrates the Independence the United States achieved over 200 years ago, so can someone trapped by drug addiction achieve the independence they desperately need from drug abuse.

The Narconon non-traditional drug-free program helps get rid of drug cravings by removing the drugs from the person’s body. This is done by a special program of vitamins, exercise, and sauna to produce sweating, and taking oils and liquids to replace the fat that is being lost. This highly effective program is supervised by a doctor, and has been used successfully for over 20 years to remove drugs from the body and reduce drug cravings.

Once this has been accomplished, the Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia Program then addresses the reason the person turned to drugs in the first place, and handles the underlying problem. The program is very successful because it gets rid of the reasons people take drugs in the first place.

As Narconon Drug Rehab GA attends festivals around the city, promoting Independence, true Independence, more facts about drugs are taught to kids while they play with the Narconon Frisbees:

MARIJUANA DAMAGES THE LUNGS, NERVES, AND BRAIN.

There are 400 chemicals in marijuana smoke, 60 of these have been proven to cause cancer. These chemicals stay in the body for years. Marijuana contains THC, a “neurotoxin” (a poison affecting the brain and nerves.) When someone smokes pot, it makes two things happen:


1) There’s almost an immediate burn up of vitamins and minerals in the body.
2) The nerves in the body go numb.

Each time someone gets “high”, they don't feel quite as good, and each time they feel a little worse afterwards.

Eventually, pot smokers don’t want the drug...they NEED the drug to relieve the unwanted conditions the drugs created in their bodies. Their bodies can’t take in enough vitamins to make up for what the drug destroys.

ECSTASY IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS DRUGS.

Recent research has shown very serious, long term damage to the nervous system from Ecstasy. In some cases this has caused brain damage, and even holes in the brain, caused by this drug. Ecstasy is a “hallucinogen” These are some of the most dangerous drugs.

Hallucinogens cause pictures in the mind to become mixed up. A person can get thrown into a scary or sad experience from the past and get stuck there without even realizing it. This can result in permanent feelings of fear, sadness or other feelings that have nothing to do with what's happening in the persons present life.

DRUGS RUIN CREATIVITY.

There is a scale of emotions that people move up and down on as they go through life.

Lets say someone is bored. She smokes pot which causes the nervous system to go numb and “lifts” her into a fake cheerfulness. It’s fake because what happens when the drug wears off? She feels terrible and doesn't care about anything. When she comes back up the scale, she feels a little lower than before she took the drug.


The person goes lower and lower on the scale, feels less and less cheerful and less creative as time goes on.

DRUGS DULL ALL YOUR SENSES.

Because drugs numb the nervous system, they are a way for a person to temporally get rid of unwanted feelings like sadness, boredom, or fear. Sometimes, in an emergency, drugs are needed so that an operation can be performed or when there has been an accident.

However, drugs block off ALL sensations or feelings. Eventually any kind of feeling becomes harder to experience. That includes sexual feelings also. The person feels less alive, and he may act like he doesn’t care about anything or anyone around him.

After a while, drugs will make a person less aware of what is going on around him, he will become slower, not as quick to think or move or react. So he can get into accidents and other dangerous situations more easily when he has used drugs.

Often, the person isn't aware of this change in himself even though other people may notice it and try to point it out to him.

DRUGS STAY IN THE BODY FOR YEARS AFTER YOU TAKE THEM.

Most drugs get stored in fat within the body and can stay there for years. Here is how that happens.

Drugs easily mix with fat in the body. In this picture, you can see that fat is close to the vein and when drugs come through the vein the fat draws the drug into it like a magnet.

This is a problem because later, when the person is working, or exercising or even stressed...the fat burns up and a tiny amount of the drug seeps back into the vein. He gets a tiny “taste” of that drug again.

What happens when you get a tiny taste of sugar? You want MORE. What happens to the guy getting a tiny taste of that drug? He wants MORE. So he may still want drugs even years after he's stopped taking drugs.


By working with these facts, children can decide not to take drugs and live a free and happy life.
