As the holidays approach, it is a time of festivity, of giving thanks and of appreciating and acknowledging the ones we love. However, all too many holiday celebrations are spoiled or upset by a family member or friend trapped in the grips of drug or alcohol addiction. This is where the Narconon drug rehabilitation program can help.
Although many are led to believe addiction is a disease, there is no hard evidence to confirm this fact. This may be heavily debated, however, as it does at least open the door to solving addiction without the use of drugs or medicines.
In fact, for over 44 years Narconon has been doing exactly that. Narconon is a completely drug-free addiction recovery program and the success rate of someone going to Narconon and staying off drugs is 4 times that of the international average.
During the holidays drugs often come into play. Drinking is a seemingly inevitable part of holiday celebrations and this can often be used to mask true addiction to drugs or alcohol. It is very important for everyone to learn the warning signs of addiction. Although they can vary from drug to drug, some common ones are: moodiness throughout the day, late sleeping, unexpected changes in mood, changes of friends, decline in work or academic performance, finding pill bottles or empty alcohol cans, etc.
The complete list of signs of addiction can be found on Narconon websites such as: Narconon.org and Drugsno.com. It is advisable that one consults these as well as a drug rehab specialist at Narconon if you suspect a friend, son or daughter or other family member to be abusing drugs or alcohol. By working with families, Narconon can help an addict to come to terms with his or her addiction and get the help they need in a friendly, drug-free, caring and safe environment.
The traps that lead to addiction are wide open in this society. The damage addiction does to the person and their friends and family relations is dramatic. However, the carefully laid out steps of the Narconon program make it possible for one to learn the basic missing information to repair these often broken relationships. At Narconon, the program is designed not only to get someone off of drugs or alcohol but also to give them the missing life skills that in their absence created broken relationships and ultimately lead to their addiction.
Any addiction is preceded by pain, whether it be physical or emotional. The Narconon program deals with these by handling any medical situation with a medical doctor, nutritionally rebuilding the addict’s body and by addressing the pre-existing emotional issues through a series of exactly laid out courses addressing ethics, morals and the conditions one finds oneself in life.
Overcoming addiction is a team action with the addict, the family and the caring staff of Narconon. If you know of someone struggling with addiction or would like more information on the Narconon program, contact Narconon at 877-237-3307.
