Narconon Program Helping Thousands of Oklahoma Families Recover Their Ability to Enjoy the Holidays by Saving Stopping Addiction

Narconon Arrowhead drug and alcohol recovery program admits those wishing to put addiction behind them every day of the year because they know that lasting addiction recovery is the best gift you can give.

In Oklahoma, more than 12,000 men and women will be spending their holidays behind bars because they were not able to get their substance abuse or addiction successfully addressed in time. This figure comes from the State of Oklahoma. According to the Oklahoma Department of Health and Substance Abuse, at least half of the state’s 25,000 inmates were imprisoned for crimes relating to substance abuse.

It could be that they were arrested for possession or trafficking, or they may have gotten into a bar fight or broken into a house and stolen merchandise that could enable them to get more of the substance to which they were addicted. They may have committed fraud or identity theft - common among methamphetamine addicts - or have stolen liquor out of someone’s house. It could even be as simple as having previous charges and failing a drug test. Whatever the crime, they are now unable to care for their families or enjoy the holidays with loved ones this year.

Many families understand the urgency of addiction recovery and realize that sobriety takes precedence over any other interest. Sure, it’s pleasant to spend holidays with families, but when a loved one is addicted, those pleasant family events often become turn desperate with parents begging their intoxicated children to please get help, or children trying to deal with impaired parents.

The Narconon program understands that when one addicted person finds lasting recovery, the whole family benefits. That’s why Narconon Arrowhead is open 365 days a year, admitting those wishing to recover from addiction any morning, noon or night, holiday season or not.

“We have had families drop off an addicted loved one on Christmas morning because there was nothing they wanted more for Christmas than that person’s recovery,” stated Derry Hallmark, Director of Admissions at Narconon Arrowhead. “Families should realize that the right time to take someone to drug rehab is the very first moment possible because in too many cases, there didn’t turn out to be a second chance. When a person gets incarcerated or suffers an injury or overdose, it makes it harder or impossible to get them help.”

Many families also find that sending their loved ones to Narconon has lasting benefits financially. Since seven out of ten Narconon program graduates stay sober after they complete their recovery programs, families may find that this will be the only drug rehab service they will ever need, which can also save them tens of thousands of dollars in legal or medical bills that will not now be needed to handle the effects of ongoing addiction.

“Any family members seeking help for a loved one suffering from alcoholism, methamphetamine addiction or addiction to crack, prescription drugs or opiates should learn about our program before struggling with that situation a single day longer,” added Mr. Hallmark. “The call they make to Narconon Arrowhead can mean the end of addiction problems that destroy the whole family’s happiness over the holidays.”
