An Alcoholic Gets Back His Life and his Family
Those who are addicted to alcohol find their lives falling apart. It is no wonder, as the focus for an alcoholic becomes drinking and satisfying the urge for more. Situations in life just continue to get worse, and as the drinking escalates, it dulls the addict’s senses and ends up destroying many aspects of life. According to surveys done between 2002 and 2010, there is an annual average of 16 million adults who engage in heavy drinking. Unfortunately, only about seven percent get treatment.
John knows what steady drinking does to a person’s life. He experienced it. He describes his life while he was addicted to alcohol. “I drank all the time. I was very depressed. I was a very unhappy person. My family tried for a long time to help me out. I just wasn’t willing. Finally, we had no communication whatsoever.”
Then John found Narconon, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that is an alternative to traditional rehabs. With a drugless withdrawal and a thorough sauna-based detox to flush out toxins from the body, this program first addresses the physical factors that keep an addiction alive.
John said, “When I first got here and started withdrawal, everybody was very accepting. I was very scared, but they made it a very enjoyable experience. Then I was eager to get on with the rest of the program.”
The Narconon New Life Detoxification employs daily moderate exercise, generous vitamin and mineral supplements and time in a sauna to rid the body of drug residues and toxins that are stored in fat tissues. Cleaning out the body also clears the mind and those who complete this part of treatment often say they feel brighter and have a better outlook on life.
John felt it was his favorite part of recovery. He said, “Once completing the sauna program, I felt alive again. I felt young. I really felt ready to start dealing with my issues from that point on.”
The final part of the recovery process at Narconon consists of life skills training which helps the recovering addict not only find out where he went wrong and why he ended up in rehab, but also gives him tools so he can maintain sobriety once back home. The knowledge gained on these courses can be used for the rest of one’s life.
John finished all the steps of treatment at Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab and smiled and said, “Since I’ve completed the program, I feel great! Life is wonderful. I love waking up every morning. My relationship with my family is excellent. This was the greatest choice I’ve ever made.”
Narconon helps addicts to repair and rebuild their lives so they never need to turn to drugs or alcohol again. This successful program saves lives and families.
