New Evidence Validates Reason for Drug Free Rehabilitation

According to a recent article from the New York Times the drug maker AstraZeneca just buried studies on its popular drug Seroquel, which stated that the drug caused side effects such as diabetes and weight gain in patients. As a result the drug maker is now facing more than 9,000 personal injury lawsuits from more than 15,000 former users of the drug.

“Unfortunately Seroquel is also one of the many drugs that doctors will sometimes even prescribe to those struggling with substance abuse issues to ‘handle’ drug addiction related problems,” comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director of Narconon Drug Rehab GA.  “As a result many drug addicts will struggle through dangerous side effects caused by the drug, can become addicted to the drug itself, and in most cases are unable to stay drug free.“

Seroquel, a drug approved in 1996, to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is one of the many anti-depressants being prescribed to millions of people in the United States alone. Not only has the drug come under fire for its dangerous side effects, but also for its off-label marketing, stating that it can treat problems such as dementia, ADD (attention deficit disorder), depression and insomnia.

That is why most effective drug rehabilitation programs use a totally drug free approach to handle addiction and as a result of this, achieve up to a 70% success rate for permanent sobriety in patients. One program that does this on a consistent basis is the Narconon Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Program. The way the Narconon Program treats drug addiction is through a combination of a drug-free withdrawal, a sauna detoxification program and a series of life skills courses that addicts undergo to become a responsible, ethical, contributing members of society.
