Opiate addiction has become almost commonplace. When one speaks of opiates one generally means a narcotic which is an opium derivative such as heroin, OxyContin, Vicodin, codeine, morphine, methadone and the like. All are controlled substances in the U.S. Many abusers start either from a simple pain relief prescription, from a leftover prescription or in the case of many teens, from a friend or dealer.
The problem with opiate addiction is that long after the physical need for the drug has passed and one is no longer in pain, the addict may continue to talk about and think about using drugs and feel overwhelmed with daily life. Relapse is considered to be commonplace by traditional methods of drug rehab. However, there is one organization called Narconon that has an over 70% success rate in permanent recovery from opiate addiction.
Narconon was founded by a heroin addict who permanently recovered from heroin addiction using the same methods still in use today, The Narconon program is very effective compared to other programs, because it handles opiate addiction from several different angles.
When one is addicted to drugs there are definite physical effects that are in play. Drug cravings are actually a symptom of wholesale vitamin and mineral deficiency in the body caused by drug use. The drug itself has started to be misidentified by the body as a "necessity". The result is intense cravings. When one tries to stop using the drug one experiences intense withdrawal symptoms which include everything from restlessness to severe depression and vomiting. The Narconon program however, makes it possible to come off of opiates without having to experience the horrible withdrawal symptoms.
Through proper nutritional supplements and precise physical techniques the highly trained Narconon staff address the physical side of opiate addiction safely and effectively. In over 40 years of operation worldwide, Narconon has gotten thousands of people off opiates.
