Relapse Substance Abuse
A relapse to substance
abuse can occur when the individual has not fully confronted and handled the personal issues leading up and then continuing the substance abuse.
Relapse is almost inevitable if there are unhandled cravings, guilt, and depression issues that have not been fully resolved. Relapse is a desire to mask these symptoms with the same substances that helped create them.
Getting someone to cease use and through an effective withdrawal process is only the beginning of the puzzle of substance abuse.

With new skills and abilities learned at Narconon one is able to obtain lasting relief without the need to run away and continually numb themselves with further substances. Happy, drug free, and productive for a lifetime is the goal at Narconon Arrowhead, our 76% success rate speaks for itself.

Alcohol
addiction goes by the more commonly used term of alcoholism.
Make no mistake about it; this is an
addiction pure and simple.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences.
Alcohol is a very common substance of abuse, accompanying the main drug of addiction, in the case of multiple substance abuse. Conversely, other drugs are commonly involved with
alcohol addiction as well.
The common denominators to all these
addictions are cravings, guilt, and depression and are the three factors needing addressed in order to obtain a drug free and productive life.
The Narconon program, unlike more traditional alcohol
addiction treatments, deals with both the physical and mental problems brought about by drug and alcohol abuse. Our goal is to assist the addict, both mentally and physically, to become a whole and sane person capable of dealing with life's many and varied challenges without resorting to drugs or alcohol.
The end result is a success rate that shows 70% of our graduates are still drug and alcohol free two years of completing the program. None of these solutions involves the use of any additional drugs or alcohol.
Drugs are used in an attempt to handle pain, be it emotional or physical or both.
The person decides to use a drug or alcohol to reduce discomfort derived from the problem or pain and finds only limited relief but now assigns value to the drug.
Thus he returns to the drug or alcohol for more and more use. At best the drugs simply mask the symptoms of emotional or physical pain. As time goes on the drug or alcohol is used more and more and tolerance for the drug increased the quantity needed to achieve the same results.
Often before the person is really aware of it he now addicted and craves this relief all the time and will do whatever is necessary to obtain the drug or alcohol.
The debilitating effects of the drugs can and do create more and more mental and physical problems and pains which often leads to the use of other addictive drugs in an endless downward spiral.
Any effective alcohol
treatment center should be well acquainted with the fact that
alcoholism can only end in one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety.
There really are no other options, extenuating circumstances, or ‘this person is different’, etc. Anyone stating or asserting something different is simply uninformed or being dangerously reasonable with the condition.
Death, jail, or sobriety, the choice is ultimately the alcoholics.
A good alcohol
treatment center will give the
alcoholic the tools to life a happy alcohol free lifestyle when the choice is sobriety.
