POTEAU DRUG REHAB HELP
CALL 1-800-468-6933 NOW FOR DRUG TREATMENT HELP NEAR YOU!
If you are like many Oklahomans, you or someone you know is struggling with addiction to alcohol, illegal drugs, or prescription medications. It has become more and more common in our society to “treat” every discomfort or pain, whether mental or physical, with a chemical substance. As many Oklahomans fall into the chemical trap, the death toll keeps climbing. More Oklahomans die from drug overdoses than from car accidents every year. The vast majority of overdose deaths stem from medical drugs, not illegal substances, as many people assume. There is a perception that medications are safe because they come from a doctor. The truth is that a medical drug is only safe for the person it is prescribed to, and only if taken exactly as directed. Even then, powerful pain killers and anxiety medications can still be habit-forming.
If you are looking for an alternative drug rehabilitation facility that does not treat addiction with substitute drugs, Narconon Arrowhead is the answer. Many facilities feel that drug replacement therapy is a valid form of treatment; at Narconon Arrowhead, however, we feel that true rehabilitation occurs when a person is utterly free of chemical dependence, including dependence on the medications used to replace illegal drugs. Poteau residents who are looking for addiction help can have the peace of mind knowing that Narconon’s facility is only an hour and a half away. We have helped over 11,000 people fight and win against addiction. Don’t wait any longer to get the help you need. Call Narconon Arrowhead today!
Effective Addiction Treatment Near Poteau
Fortunately, residents of Poteau can easily access our state of the art treatment center via major highways like OK-9W, OK-31W, or US-270W. For over 25 years in Oklahoma, Narconon’s program has provided unique, holistic approached to assist addiction through the uncomfortable effects of withdrawal. This process can be uncomfortable, but it is necessary to be fully off of drugs before any further steps are taken. Narconon’s trained professionals will help make the withdrawal as comfortable as possible. Next comes something called the Narconon New Life Detoxification program. It consists of moderate exercise, sauna time, and nutritional supplements. The exercise causes the blood to reach deep into the tissues of the body where drugs have been deposited over time. The person then sweats these chemical substances out under carefully supervised conditions. The person emerges with heightened mental clarity and in a better physical condition. This process also reduces (and usually eliminates) the physical cravings for more drugs that a recovering addict experiences. They are truly ready for a new life.
Handling the physical aspects of drug abuse is only half of the Narconon process. It is well known that drug abuse has mental components and that recovery is usually accompanied by guilt and depression. Again, Narconon believes in a holistic, drug-free approach. Rather than medicating depression and other unwanted mental and emotional states, we address these with effective life tools that not only alleviate current emotional problems, but also provide solutions for future situations. This is truly empowering the recovering addict rather than creating a different sort of dependency.
The Drug Problem in Poteau is a Local Issue
In a nearby local town, a doctor recently had his right to prescribe narcotics taken away for a year. He is accused of prescribing far more narcotic prescriptions than is allowed by the medical code. Investigators also claim that he was prescribing drugs to patients he hadn’t even seen and that he was pre-signing prescriptions prior to appointments. He was also prescribing powerful pain killers such as hydrocodone to patients who did not demonstrate a need for it. Oklahoma leads the nation in prescription abuse, and this problem is created in part by questionable practices by medical professionals like this medical practitioner. Despite the charges against him this man claims he has done nothing wrong. He says the only reason he was investigated and accused is that Oklahoma is “the most racist state in the nation.”
On the other side of the issue are people like Judge Ted Knight, who presided over many a courtroom in his 32 years of practice, including drug court. As a result of his work, many addicts were given the chance to put their lives back together and to get the help they so desperately needed. Drug court’s approach is one of help instead of punishment in most cases, helping recovering addicts with such basic life skills as reading, enough math to manage money, etc. Judge Ted Knight helped many people from his position on the bench. He will be continuing for another six months as he finds and trains a replacement.
