When an individual has sunk to the level of drug addiction, the simple fact is that they no longer have any control over their thoughts, decisions and actions in life. Everything they do is based around whether it will allow them to obtain and use more drug substances, something that they honestly feel they cannot live without.
An individual can be addicted to drug substances for some time before they even recognize that they have a problem and they need help. Even when this does occur, though, some individuals are quite certain that full recovery is actually impossible, and they begin to resign themselves to the idea that they will have to live with their addiction for the rest of their life – however long that may be.
Effective rehabilitation treatment must assist an individual in addressing all of the causes and effects of their drug use, and in gaining the confidence they will need to take back control of their life. This is not an easy or fast process, but the good news is that it can and has been done, time and again.
Richie’s Narconon Arrowhead Experience
Before Richie decided to attend Narconon Arrowhead, his life was completely miserable. He had tried numerous other rehabilitation treatment programs, and nothing had ever worked to help him put an end to his heroin addiction. The worst part was that he simply couldn’t figure out why this was. He assumed that something had to be wrong with him to make it so he simply couldn’t recover, and he was resigned to the idea that he would be a heroin addict for the rest of his life. Even this didn’t alarm him, in fact he felt quite comfortable with the fact that he would probably die before he’d quit heroin.
Richie’s sister refused to give up so easily, and went online to find a treatment program that could actually effectively help her brother recover. She found Narconon Arrowhead, and was certain that it was exactly what Richie needed. She assisted Richie in getting to the facility, and he now has no doubt that her actions saved his life, something for which he will always be immensely grateful to her.
Every aspect of the Narconon program empowered Richie to take back control over his life, and that is the one thing he is most impressed with. When he was using drugs and alcohol, he had absolutely no control over his life, his decisions or his actions. He was living in a state of complete confusion, and he couldn’t make the right decisions for his future even when his life depended on it. To be given the ability to control his decisions and actions in life was to regain power to create his future happiness.
Now that he has completed the Narconon program, Richie is completely in control of his own life and he knows with absolute certainty that he can achieve anything he wants. He is amazed that he was able to come from the complete mess his life had become – where he couldn’t think or function like a normal, healthy, happy or productive human being – and gain the self-control and tools he needs to be a wonderful father, brother and son.
Richie feels that any concerned parent or family member who has a loved one with a drug or alcohol problem should contact Narconon Arrowhead. The staff are absolutely amazing, and will help anyone better understand these problems and how to help resolve them, which can effectively save a loved one’s life and help to make it even better than it’s ever been before.
