Addiction is not a "Disease"

Most drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs in Makawao, Hawaii tell addicts that they have a "disease" that will affect them for the rest of their lives.

In fact, it was more than 50 years ago that alcoholism was labeled a disease, but this is still an unproven theory. There have been no studies that conclusively prove that substance addiction of any kind is an actual "disease" that follows you all your life.

At Narconon Arrowhead, we prove every day that drug addiction and alcolholism are not diseases, but instead are a mix of spiritual, mental, physical and emtional factors unique to every person.

We show repeatedly that following an effective drug and alcohol rehab program, without the drug and alcohol addictions that were pulling them down, addicts can be rapidly returned to productive, drug-free lives.

If you or a loved one is suffering from addiction, don’t wait until it’s too late; call Narconon Arrowhead today at 1-800-468-6933.

To find out if there are any drug rehab treatment or counseling facilities serving people in Makawao, Hawaii that are suitable for your needs, please call 1-800-468-6933.
