Narconon Drug Rehab Gives Holiday Solutions for Addicts

Narconon Arrowhead drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is encouraging individuals and families to seek out help for those struggling with addiction this holiday season.

Oklahoma - The abuse of alcohol and illicit drugs is the single most serious health problem in the United States, adding burden to the economy, straining the health care system and contributing to the death and numerous other health problems of millions of Americans every year.  Alcohol and drug abuse causes more deaths, illnesses and disabilities than any other preventable health condition.  According to the U.S. Department of Justice, substance abuse is the nation’s number one problem and research shows that effective treatment, even treatment for relapses, is less expensive than incarceration and untreated addiction.

The holiday season can be an extremely difficult time for individuals and families who are struggling with alcohol or drug problems.  Holiday stress is sometimes a factor and loneliness and depression can also trigger relapses for those in recovery, especially during this time of year.  Research has shown that traditionally statistics for overdoses, suicides and drug related hospital and emergency room visits also significantly rise during the holiday season.

This year, Narconon Arrowhead is striving to help individuals and families overcome this terrible epidemic during the holiday season as casualties from addiction can prevented with the right treatment.

“This year, there is no reason to let addiction go unhandled, “explains Derry Hallmark, Certified Dependency Counselor and Senior Director for Expansion for Narconon Arrowhead. “Narconon has qualified staff who are dedicated to helping others achieve life-long sobriety and lead happy, productive lifestyles that are available to do free consultations for anyone addicted as well as their loved ones and provide real solutions to overcoming drug abuse.”

The Narconon program is a long-term in-patient residential drug treatment program with a more than 70% success rate for permanent sobriety.  The program utilizes a unique method to treating addiction by handling both the physical and metal aspects of the problem. Narconon also uses an effective detoxification program where clients can flush accumulated toxins from the body that are left by drugs thereby drastically reducing physical cravings which are the number one reason for relapse.

This holiday season Narconon encourages those struggling with drug abuse and addiction issues to contact them.  Counselors are available who will guide those suffering from addiction through difficult times and outlines the necessary steps to overcoming addiction as well as family members and loved ones.
