Detoxification is only the first step on the road of addiction treatment. Most rehab centers consider detoxification to be when the addict is no longer under the influence of the drug, but this is actually only withdrawal. At Narconon Arrowhead we have a very unique and effective detox procedure that actually rids the body of the old drug residues, which in turn eliminates physical cravings for the drugs and allows a person to feel much healthier mentally and physically. This is called the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program and is part of Narconon Arrowhead’s long-term residential treatment.

Recovery from an alcohol or drug addiction involves an extended process that usually involves professionals in the addiction treatment field. Narconon Arrowhead’s professional treatment staff are certified and interned and we have a Medical Director, nurses on site 24 hours a day as well as approximately 30 Certified Chemical Dependency Counselors.

To make a successful recovery, the addict needs new tools in order to deal with situations and problems that are part of everyday life. Factors such as encountering someone from their days of using, returning to the same environment and places, or even small things such as smells and objects trigger memories which can create a desire to use drugs again. This can hinder the addict's goal of complete recovery and prevent them from permanently regaining control of their life. Narconon Arrowhead provides the life skills necessary to overcome these barriers and have a successful, permanent recovery so that former addicts can lead a healthy, productive and drug-free life.

Narconon Arrowhead has helped thousands of people from all over the United States overcome addiction and even people from several foreign countries. The fact is the results speak for themselves and approximately 70% of Narconon Arrowhead graduates remain drug-free.
