Most Drug Rehabs Missing Vital Ingredient
Narconon Arrowhead provides effective detoxification program for long-term recovery
(PRWEB) April 28, 2005 -- Cravings, guilt and depression make up the harness
that keeps an addict in the downward spiral of drug addiction. In almost all
cases these symptoms are generated after a long term of substance abuse. In the
history of drug and alcohol rehabilitation it has always been known that the
addict must first undergo a detoxification procedure, as the drug cravings are
the first barrier to a successful recovery.
According to the
Merriam-Webster® online dictionary, to detoxify means: to free (as a drug user
or an alcoholic) from an intoxicating or an addictive substance in the body or
from dependence on or addiction to such a substance.
Often this
procedure means to ensure that the individual is no longer under the immediate
effects of the substance or substances. This is rational thought, but it has
been discovered through extensive research that simply "drying out" is not a
thorough detoxification and that the drug residues that store primarily in body
fat continue to impede the full rehabilitation process. These residues are
called drug metabolites and get released back into the blood stream and can
cause intense drug cravings. This is one of the primary causes of relapse. So
how, if a person is no longer taking the drug, do you get rid of the
metabolites?
One of the most effective means of ridding the body of drug
metabolites has proven to be the use of aerobic exercise combined with a
nutritional program that utilizes Vitamin B3 (niacin) and extended periods of
sweating in a dry-heat sauna. This detoxification method was researched and
developed by L. Ron Hubbard in 1978 and has helped increase the rate of recovery
by eliminating the physical triggers that create drug cravings. It is this
process called the New Life Detoxification Program that is utilized at the
Narconon Arrowhead drug rehabilitation and education program. This program is
thoroughly explained in a book called Clear Body Clear Mind.
Eric was a
heroin addict from Michigan that underwent this rehabilitation program and in
his words, "The program changed my life forever. The mental and physical
cravings that are associated with recovery from heroin addiction are GONE. I am
no longer trapped in the dwindling spiral of addiction."
Addressing the
biophysical aspects of addiction in an effective manner is one thing that puts
Narconon Arrowhead at the top, achieving a success rate of approximately 70% for
stable, long-term recovery.
"There are many other good programs out
there," comments Luke Catton, a supervisor for Narconon Arrowhead, "but if you
don't reduce or eliminate the physical cravings for drugs it is often too
difficult to overcome."
