Alcoholism

alcoholism_drug_rehab.jpg

In America, alcohol use extends far beyond the limits of drug use. In 2005, 51% of all Americans consumed alcohol in the past month, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. But alcohol overuse presents just as serious a problem as the worst drug addiction.

Alcohol consumption becomes alcohol dependence or alcoholism when it creates problems and damages lives but these effects are ignored. Alcohol dependence indicates that there is an addiction to alcohol and that a person must find and consume alcohol to feel good or normal, be comfortable around other people, enjoy life, etc.

An alcohol addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of alcohol despite adverse social, mental or physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence on alcohol and the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when it is rapidly decreased or terminated.

When addiction exists, the alcohol use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the alcohol use. In 2005, more than 23 million Americans were estimated to experience alcohol abuse. More than ten million Americans were dependent on alcohol.

Adverse effects resulting from alcohol use include failing to remember conversations or commitments, blacking out, experiencing health problems or injuries, losing prior interest in activities and hobbies that used to bring pleasure and having legal problems or problems with jobs, relationships, employment or finances. When alcohol consumption continues despite these effects, the situation meets the definition of addiction.

    Alcoholism has several key signs and symptoms, and an effective alcoholism addiction treatment program will address these and more on the way to a successful recovery:

    • Craving--A strong need, or urge, to drink.
    • Loss of control--Not being able to stop drinking once drinking has begun.
    • Physical dependence--Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety after stopping drinking.
    • Tolerance--The need to drink greater amounts of alcohol to get "high."

    Narconon Arrowhead has an excellent track record for alcoholism addiction treatment. While many treatment centers believe that alcoholism is an incurable disease requiring a lifetime of treatment, Narconon Arrowhead has been able to prove that alcoholism is an addiction that can be completely overcome.


    “I struggled with alcoholism for many years early in my adult life, which caused me to fail at everything I tried. The only solution I knew of was to keep drinking, which numbed the pain but only fueled my addiction. After nearly losing my life to alcoholism my family helped me get into Narconon in Oklahoma. The program completely changed my life and I have been free from alcoholism for 8 years now thanks to their successful addiction treatment program. I am eternally grateful for helping me be the person I knew I was underneath it all.”


    Contrary to experimental science, there is no magic pill that can be taken to effectively treat alcoholism addiction. Pharmaceuticals have never held the answer to addiction and never will. In most cases, they only temporarily treat the problem, only to discover a relapse in the future. Treating the body with more chemicals actually results in a further dependence upon and craving for more chemicals to get through they day.

    Narconon Arrowhead’s drug-free alcoholism addiction treatment program helps restore natural health and rebuild the mind and body to become strong enough to face the problems in life and solve them without returning back to alcohol or any other drugs.
