Saving Addicted Lives for Over Fifty Years
No one ever plans to become an addict. Good people lose control and entire families can be damaged or destroyed by drug abuse and addiction. Addiction to drugs or alcohol creates hopelessness and lost dreams. So many times addiction leads to crime and violence. Early death can be the final chapter in an addicted life. However, there is an effective way to deal with drug and alcohol addiction.
Narconon Arrowhead, a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center a short drive from Tulsa, Oklahoma, produces drug-free lives. This rehab offers the same successful program that Narconon provides the world over, addressing why a person turned to drugs as a solution. Narconon has been saving addicted lives around the world for five decades.
When a person comes to Narconon, he receives drug-free rehabilitation, with no substitute medications used as a method of treatment. When a person requires a medical detox due to the use of heavy alcohol or drugs such as benzos, he would complete this before starting the drug-free withdrawal in the Narconon program. Here, nutritional therapy helps to restore depleted nutrients from an addicted lifestyle. This assists the body and mind in better tolerating the difficulties in withdrawal.
Another powerful part of the Narconon rehabilitation is the New Life Detoxification. Here, with the use of daily exercise, time in a sauna and vitamin and mineral supplements, the recovering addict recovers a clear body and mind as toxic drug residues are flushed from his body.
The final phase of the program prepares the participant for a new drug-free life where he (or she) can now control his own life and break free of the need for illegal drug use. This last part of the program consists of several Life Skills courses. Someone who has been addicted has commonly lost the ability to deal with his problems. He feels guilt from the harmful actions he has done. These courses teach the recovering person the tools he will need to be able to live happily and achieve his dreams, shedding the guilt that weighs him down.
Those who finish the program are enthusiastic about the changes in their lives. One girl who finished the program at Narconon Arrowhead commented, “The program just saved my life. And thanks to the Narconon program, I’m a better daughter.” Another young man was smiling broadly as he said, “I feel great since I’ve completed the program. Life is wonderful. The relationship with my family is excellent. I love waking up every morning.”
Compare an addict’s emotional and physical numbness with one girl who completed the Narconon program and said, “Since I finished the Narconon program, I feel like I have a new confidence and there’s nothing I can’t achieve. I feel new again.”
When a loved one has become one of those good people who lose control and has addiction destroying his life, help is available at Narconon Arrowhead. Changing lives and putting families back together is one of the best aspects of recovery from drug or alcohol addiction.
