Ten Reasons to Take Action Against Substance Abuse and Addiction: No. Ten: Addiction Can Be Overcome

 PDF E-mail
Addiction is one of society’s most severe and tragic ills, creating the loss of life, wealth, families, happiness and productivity. For years, a solution has been sought that will free addicts from trap of in addiction. Solutions abound, starting with incarceration and proceeding on through tens of billions spent on an alphabet soup of federal and state agencies.

Out in society, rehabilitation services are based on everything from ancient philosophies to brand new ideas. Nationally, more than 11,000 drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers offer help. Over 55,000 Alcoholics Anonymous groups offer support and guidance to the recovering alcoholic and 25,000 Narcotics Anonymous groups help drug addicts. Federal dollars support the development of a roster of drugs created to treat addiction’s cravings or symptoms.

The result is a bewildering maze of treatment options. Many treatment options treat addiction as a chronic, incurable brain disease that requires medication, the same as diabetes or heart disease. Some addiction services believe that an addict will always be an addict and will never recover.

 “Our experience is that the right program enables a person to leave addiction behind,” 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. Mr. Hallmark went on to describe how the Narconon program achieves its 70 percent success rate. “Our recoveries start with a sauna and nutritional program that flushes drug residues from the body to help the person reduce or even eliminate cravings. Unless cravings are addressed first, most addicted people can’t focus on their recovery. Next, counseling helps a person leave the pain and grief of addiction behind, and life skills training teaches them how to live a new, drug-free life.”

Drug Addiction Treatment Program – Success Story
It’s been a long uphill climb here at this drug rehab. I started out with a very heavy load to carry. I now feel I’ve shed that load. I don’t think I could feel much better than I do right now, mentally and physically. I can’t wait to continue my new life back home with my family and friends. B.P.
