Drug Addiction Stories & Info

Addicts go through many changes throughout their journey. Most begin with experimentation, but quickly develop a dependency and addiction. Along with the severity of the addiction come many behavioral and physical changes. It is most often the friends and family members of the addict who first see the changes, as the addict begins and continues to deny them. Physical changes can include:

• weight loss
• pale skin
• no responsiveness
• decrease in energy (lethargy) or excess energy

Depending on the drugs used, there are many different, and serious physical changes that can occur as well including:

• rapid or slowed heart rate
• rapid or slowed respiration
• extremely high or low blood pressure
• the possibility of strokes

Psychological changes include:

• depression
• mania
• paranoia
• losing touch with reality
• even psychosis

Many who do substance abuse also become violent, even if they never were before. All of these things can improve with the help of Narconon’s long term drug rehab program.

Behavioral Change in the Addicts

Behavioral changes are frequently noticed in addicts. They not only can become violent, but they begin to manipulate people, steal, and become secretive. They may disappear for hours or days without contacting loved ones. They often shut themselves up in their rooms and won’t allow anyone in. Most addicts become very good liars. It is important to note that those with substance abuse issues have one goal; to get and take more drugs or alcohol. They will use any means available to accomplish this task. Loved ones of addicts often say they no longer even know the person because of their behavioral changes. Addicts will say or do anything to get and stay high. Throughout the long term drug rehab at Narconon, the student will learn about addiction; what triggers it, and why it makes them act differently. In fact, the student will learn more about himself than he ever knew before.

Now is the Best Time

An addict is ready for Narconon long term drug rehabs when they, or someone they love notices there is a problem. It does not have, nor should it wait until all of the above mentioned changes have occurred. Although any addict can overcome addiction, it is easier to handle if it is caught early. Often, it is the loved ones who first reach out, because of course, the addict will deny any problems. It is an outdated theory that only an addict can first reach out for help. Many substance abusers have, even reluctantly, agreed to get help at the urging of family and friends. Intervention is also a possibility and is often successful. The important thing is that someone, anyone, reaches out to get help for the addict.

The Narconon long term drug rehabs provide the structure, safety and proven methods to help addicts overcome addiction. Most students stay an average of 3-6 months in a safe, temptation free setting which is often located amidst beautiful surroundings. The time and care given to the students allows them to concentrate on themselves, and conquering their addictions. It also allows time to learn the many helpful courses which are taught at the facilities. Learning how to communicate more effectively, how to better understand themselves, and making better decisions are only a few of the courses the students take. Time is the best healer as long as it is combined with drug-free detoxification and helpful life skill courses. It does take time to properly overcome addiction, and to unlearn many of the bad habits picked up by addicts. The student at Narconon long term drug rehabs stays until they feel they are ready to start their new, fresh, drug-free life outside of the facility.

When you have made the decision to give up drug use, it is an important day in your life. Make sure that you know the facts. Don’t just choose “first cab off the rank”, for your drug rehabilitation.

Five aspects of the Narconon Drug Rehab program

that you might not know about, or have fully considered:

1. Narconon uses the Hubbard method of sauna detox that provides a complete and thorough detoxification from all kinds of chemical toxicity in the body, including drugs that you have used. The Hubbard Sauna Detox method is a complete protocol that prioritizes safety. It gently promotes the excretion of all harmful chemicals and their residues in the body.

Many people do not know that drug residues remain in the body and are stored in the body fat and other tissues. Drugs and their metabolites can remain in the body for years. The body also accumulates a range of toxic pollutants from the environment. Chemical residues lead to ill health and are also triggers for cravings, and possible drug relapse.

No one is really “clean” of drugs or free of the chemical bondage, unless and until they have completed the Hubbard Sauna Detox. That procedure is a key part of the Narconon drug rehabilitation program.

You will be using the same detox method that has restored war veterans, September 11 rescue workers, and Chernobyl survivors to good health and a new vitality when you come aboard the Narconon Drug Rehab Program.

2. The Therapeutic Training Routines (TRs) are an integral part of the Narconon Drug Rehab Program and assist the addict to learn better communications skills and increase their ability to face life situations. Very often drug addicts have not, in the past, found communication to be easy. People need confidence and skill to be able to handle conflict resolution.

The TRs help addicts to confront their difficulties, control their actions and reactions, and learn how to really communicate.

Better communication is the key to better relationships – and Narconon can help.

3. To support the body at a very basic level, in its quest for recovery of good health, the Narconon Drug Rehab Program uses the unique Cal-Mag formula. Cal-Mag provides to the body essential supplies of calcium and magnesium, under a form that can be easily assimilated by the different parts of the body that need them.

When calcium and magnesium are balanced in the body, it brings stability and calm. Cal-Mag restores the body to a condition in which stress and withdrawal effects can be better managed and tolerated by drug users in recovery.

Some have said that the Cal-Mag formula is evil tasting, a potent brew indeed – the very best beverage that there is to assist with drug recovery. Cal-Mag has no adverse side effects, and is used to support the drug-free Narconon detox program.

The Cal-Mag formula gets into the bones and marrow – with the power to undo the damage done by drugs like heroin, crack, and methadone.

4.  The Narconon Drug Rehab Program uses high potency niacin supplements that assist with nervous stability, and promote the repair and restoration of healthy nerves and tissue, particularly in the brain and central nervous system that is very often severely damaged by the effects of drugs.

High potency niacin also helps the body to mobilize fat – it is in body fat that toxic chemicals and drug residues are most commonly stored. The Narconon program is comprehensive, and scientifically managed, to get the system kick started again, after depletion from drug use.

There are no adverse side effects when high potency niacin is used responsibly, as a supplement to good health and improved body metabolism, as on the Narconon Drug Rehab program.

5. As part of the Narconon Rehabilitation program is the Learning Improvement Course. Not being able to read, understand and apply written materials is one of the biggest barriers to self confidence, and to being able to get on in the world.

Often drug addicts, through no fault of their own, have failed to complete school and get an education. Narconon teaches people how to study and evaluate new ideas and information. These learning skills are essential when it comes to making important lifestyle choices.

Many students of the Narconon program, when they graduate, decide to go on to complete their education and study for trade certificates, diplomas and degrees. Narconon helps drug addicts to get the education they need, by giving them the technology and the skills on how to study any subject.
