An Addict Once Again has the Ability to Create
You often hear that addiction destroys lives. But what does this really mean? Imagine someone who is feeling horrible physically, depressed and confused mentally and unable to come to rational decisions. Get the idea of what it would be like to also be completely disconnected from family that you love, even your own children. Addiction turns lives upside down. This was Melissa only a few short years ago.
She said, “When addicted, my life was just in total shambles. I was running from everything I had ever known in the past. I was depressed about everything that I lost. My body felt horrible. My mind was in utter confusion and I really didn’t know what to do.”
She added, “My family hadn’t seen me in years. My children hadn’t seen me in a couple of years. At least they hadn’t seen their real mother, because I was this addict that didn’t have time to be a mother.”
When Melissa found Narconon, she began to see some hope on the horizon. The Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is a successful rehab that takes on addiction from all angles. It addresses the key aspects of addiction, both the physical and mental dependency, in such a way that the recovering addict is proofed against relapse when he or she goes back home.
The entire Narconon program represents an innovative approach to drug recovery. One of the unique steps is the Narconon New Life Detoxification that follows a well-supported and tolerable withdrawal. The detox is effective in flushing out poisonous drug residues accumulated in the tissues. These residual drugs have been associated with the triggering of drug cravings, even long after someone has stopped using drugs. Thus eliminating them from the system greatly assists someone in maintaining a sober life.
Melissa commented on this part of the Narconon treatment. “Once I had finished the sauna portion of the program, I noticed my body felt better and I could think more clearly. I could rationalize my thoughts because I didn’t have the drugs in my body anymore clogging me up. I felt a thousand times better.”
After the sauna-based detox, the recovering person does life skill training. While addicted, a person not only loses his skills to deal with life, he (or she) also doesn’t know how to repair all the damage he created while addicted.
The Narconon Life Skills Courses give the student a chance to analyze how he ended up an addict, and this is vital in preventing the person from making the same mistakes. No one tells him what he did wrong. This never really helps anyone. It is finding out for himself where he went wrong that makes all the difference.
Melissa said, “Now that I’ve gone through the program - and I’ve been clean for a couple of years now - my life is better than it has ever been - since I’ve been born! I have my family back. I have my friends back. I have my abilities to create back. I’m happy and doing things that I want to do.”
Narconon saves addicted lives every day. It is the first choice in effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation for any addict.
