Finding a Comprehensive Approach to Recovery from Addiction
When many addicts enter a conventional rehabilitation program, they are often taught that they will be addicts for the rest of their lives. This can make the addicted person feel that there is no way out of the trap of his addiction. Hopelessness deepens when he fails at numerous attempts at rehab. Depression results as he loses friends and the trust of his family. Guilt comes about as the cravings drive him to do things he would never do as a sober person. Aubre didn’t think there was a way out for her until she found a real solution to her addiction.
She described her life as an addict. “When I started using heroin I really went downhill, especially when I started shooting it. At that point, I could no longer maintain the same lifestyle I had up to that point. My family relationships went downhill. I stopped talking to my mom, my father, and my grandparents.”
Then she found Narconon. The Narconon drug and alcohol rehab program is a comprehensive program addressing both the mental and physical effects of addiction. The program is designed not only to get the addicted person off drugs and get the drug residues removed from his body but also to prepare the individual to go back home and live a happy life without drugs.
Aubre commented, “When I first got here, I didn’t think that the program was going to work. I had been addicted to drugs for so long that I didn’t think that was ever going to change. But now I don’t have the desire to use drugs anymore.”
The drug-free withdrawal gets the person through the uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms in relative comfort, with plenty of nutritional support and help from the staff. This follows any medical detox that might be needed for heavy alcohol use or drugs such as benzodiazepines. The Narconon New Life Detoxification is a sauna-based detox which eliminates drug residues from the body’s tissues where they accumulate and remain, even lingering for years after a person stops using drugs. Through repeated periods of sweating in a sauna, daily moderate exercise and a generous supply of vitamins and minerals, these toxic residues are flushed from the system. Most people talk about how much more energy they have afterward and how much more clearly they can think.
Aubre commented on the detox. “The sauna part of the program was really good for me. I started having a lot more physical energy. I started being happier. I felt like I wasn’t as slow. Mainly I had more energy than I ever had before in my life.”
The last step of the program consists of life skills training. There are a series of six courses, each covering vital materials that a recovering addict needs to maintain a sober life. The student also often discovers the reason he or she ended up addicted to drugs or alcohol. Finding the reason helps the person avoid making the same mistake again. As the recovering addict moves through these courses, she sheds the guilt that he often carries from the harmful acts committed during a life of addiction. She learns responsibility and gets her life back in control.
Narconon is the full package for recovery. No stone is left unturned. The Narconon program is the best choice in drug and alcohol rehabs around. Aubre found that out and is happy she is now on the right path, completely drug-free.
