Ten Reasons to Take Action Against Substance Abuse and Addiction: Number Eight: Lost Potential

 PDF E-mail

When a drug overdose steals a young life, we lose that young life’s potential. When any person becomes addicted to alcohol, illicit drugs or prescription drugs that are being abused, families lose the bright person they loved and all the potential they knew was resident in that beloved son or daughter, brother, sister or parent.

Unfortunately, the highest levels of alcohol dependence occur in 18 to 20 year old Americans, according to the Surgeon General’s Office. Additionally, 5,000 young people a year lose their lives due to injuries involving alcohol, 1,900 of them from auto accidents.

A 2007 study from The National Center on Substance Abuse and Addiction reported that nearly half of America's 5.4 million full-time college students abuse drugs or drink alcohol on binges at least once a month.

“These years are when a person should be studying for a career or getting started in life,” noted Derry Hallmark, Director of Admissions and Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor at Narconon Arrowhead. Narconon Arrowhead is one of the country’s leading drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, located in Canadian, Oklahoma. “When a young person becomes dependent on or addicted to drug s or alcohol, it can seem more tragic because that person has not yet had the chance to achieve their full potential. Narconon Arrowhead has had great success in helping addicted people young and old achieve their potential by learning to build themselves drug-free liees. Seventy percent of our graduates successfully leave that addiction behind when they graduate.”

Drug Rehabilitation Success Story
Since coming to Narconon Arrowhead’s drug rehab, I feel that I have grown to be a better person than I ever have been. I learned how to confront and and communicate with others. I am more than comfortable confronting anybody in any situation. Sauna did wonders for me. I am completely clean of any drugs or toxins. I feel better now than I have ever felt. I had a lot of great wins and feel good about them. I learned who to associate with and who I should eliminate from my life. I was able to experience relief and finally be honest about all the bad things I have ever done throughout my life. Overall, this drug rehab has allowed me to start a new life. I will flourish and prosper when I leave here. R.E.
