Narconon Arrowhead Provides Inpatient Rehab for Phoenix Residents
Approximately 20% of Arizona high school seniors surveyed in 2006 reported a lifetime illegal use of prescription drugs indicating a need for effective drug education and inpatient rehab.
Prescription drugs’ easy availability and high addictive qualities not only ruin the lives of those who are addicted, but also those who love and care for them. One only has to look in the nearest medicine cabinet to find a plethora of pain, anti-anxiety and sleep medications to find a quick “fix” for any discomfort . The best way to handle body discomfort is to make sure you are eating correctly, getting enough sleep and daily exercise. However Americans today want instant relief which can very easily lead down the road of addiction. To throw into the mix of prescription drugs is Oxycontin, legally prescribed by doctors for pain management, now considered a gateway drug to heroin due to the similar effects it has on a person. This is truly frightening a person begins to take a medication for a real pain and weeks later finds themselves addicted. Knowledge is the best defense against addiction. Narconon Arrowhead has provided drug education to over 65,000 youth about the realities and consequences of drugs and alcohol along with an effective inpatient drug and alcohol rehab with a 70% success rate.
Phoenix has created organizations to help with the drug epidemic with the establishment of programs such as Arizona Substance Abuse Partnership (ASAP), Governor’s Division for Substance Abuse Policy, Drug Endangered Children (DEC) Program and the Parents Commission on Drug Education and Prevention to name a few. These are not rehabilitation facilities, these are preventative organizations dealing with substance abuse and how to avoid a life of addiction. For a person already caught in the cycle of addiction, inpatient rehab is the answer for that person to regain a drug-free, productive, responsible, ethical and happy life.
When a person has become addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, there are three aspects that must be handled for a person to have long term recovery. These three are cravings, guilt and depression. If a person is trying to quit using drugs and/or alcohol and is hit with a craving and is not in an inpatient rehab, there will nothing to stop them going out and searching for drugs to relieve that physical craving no matter how much they DO NOT want to use drugs or drink. Therefore an inpatient rehab not only stops that person going and getting drugs, they have qualified professionals to get them through that craving and understand why these cravings continue to arise and have the solution for them.
A person does not end up in rehab after one drug use even though upon that first use they are addicted. The downward spiral of addiction follows sooner or later in the loss of family, friends, money, employment and finally total loss of self respect. Therefore it is absurd to think if person has been using for 6 months to years of drug abuse, that they can be cured overnight. Once the physical cravings are handled and the person is able to focus on his or her environment instead of his body the guilt and depression can be handled.
The guilt and depression a person feel from their drug addicted lifestyle can push them into a relapse even though they are no longer experiencing physical cravings. With an inpatient rehab the professionals will be able to help guide that person through his past and present guilt and depression so when they are finished with the rehab they will step back into the world with a clean body and clear mind and the tools to lead the successful life everyone deserves.
