Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab program

Many drug rehab and alcohol addiction treatment programs in Rhode Island tell addicts that they have a disease and that it will affect them for the rest of their life.

It has been more than 50 years since alcoholism was classified as a disease by the medical pundits of the time. This idea has persisted through the decades, and more recently drug addiction was added to the "disease" theory.

However, these are just theories. Not a single study has been able to prove that addiction is an actual disease.

The Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab program does not subscribe to the disease theory of addiction. This is not our philosophy. The Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab program helps to rehabilitate the whole person through effective detoxification and a series of courses designed to enhance life skills.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of different types of alcohol addiction and drug rehab and treatment programs. When choosing a drug rehab center for yourself or a loved one from Rhode Island, it is important to become educated on the different types of drug rehab and what the end results are.

Types of drug rehab programs include detoxification, outpatient counseling, short-term inpatient treatment (30-day program) and long-term residential treatment (longer than 60 days). Within these there are also medical models that use substitute drugs in the treatment process and there are drug-free programs that do not prescribe more drugs to addicts. Most drug rehab centers serving Rhode Island have some type of aftercare or follow-up program as well.

Detoxification is only the first step on the road of addiction treatment. Most rehab centers consider detoxification to be when the addict is no longer under the influence of the drug, but this is actually only withdrawal. At Narconon Arrowhead we have a very unique and effective detox procedure that actually rids the body of the old drug residues, which in turn eliminates physical cravings for the drugs and allows a person to feel much healthier mentally and physically. This is called the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program and is part of Narconon Arrowhead’s long-term residential treatment.

Recovery from an alcohol or drug addiction involves an extended process that usually involves professionals in the addiction treatment field. Narconon Arrowhead’s professional treatment staff are certified and interned and we have a Medical Director, nurses on site 24 hours a day as well as approximately 30 Certified Chemical Dependency Counselors.

To make a successful recovery, the addict needs new tools in order to deal with situations and problems that are part of everyday life. Factors such as encountering someone from their days of using, returning to the same environment and places, or even small things such as smells and objects trigger memories which can create a desire to use drugs again. This can hinder the addict's goal of complete recovery and prevent them from permanently regaining control of their life. Narconon Arrowhead provides the life skills necessary to overcome these barriers and have a successful, permanent recovery so that former addicts can lead a healthy, productive and drug-free life.

Narconon Arrowhead has helped thousands of people from all over the United States overcome addiction and even people from several foreign countries. The fact is the results speak for themselves and approximately 70% of Narconon Arrowhead graduates remain drug-free.
