Narconon Arrowhead Journal – Steps Towards a Better Future
When one has found oneself caught in the grip of addiction, it affects more than just one area of a person’s life. And rebuilding it must encompass the lot. Narconon’s comprehensive program addresses the various aspects of addiction from physical health to mental clarity to morality and personal integrity. Every step along the way is a pillar for the building of a bright and successful future, and each offers its own unique achievements. Here are some of the recent success stories from students in rehabilitation at Narconon Arrowhead currently as they progress through each step:
Drug-free Withdrawal:
“I’ve spent several days in withdrawal, impacted by emotions and talking it out with staff, getting myself stronger by taking vitamins, checking vitals, having assists (massage-like procedures), and doing drills confidently, eating and sleeping well or better. As for moving forward, enjoying locationals (drills) and walks and getting out of my head. The process is a very big milestone, and I’m glad I went through with it. Thank you to the staff and my peers for existing and being wonderful.”

New Life Detoxification:
“During the sauna program I continuously felt more healthy and clear-minded. My thoughts on the future became more and more positive. I feel very optimistic about life after leaving Narconon.”

The Objectives:
“I had a lot of wins in Objectives and learned a lot about myself to help set me up for a better future. The biggest for me was being pulled into and learning how to stay in the present. I had a really rough few personal years with a lot of stress and emotions that were created. I thought I had dealt with those situations and emotions but didn’t realize I was still stuck there mentally. I knew I was in a funk for a long time and couldn’t figure out why or how to get myself out. The second I fully came into the present, I not only felt it; it was like all those emotions got left where they belong, in the past! During that period of my life I also thought, “What kind of shit is life going to throw at me next?" so I began to not even look forward to the future. Being pulled into the present made that fear of the future and need to plan for the worst go away. I had many other wins along the way, but I had let the past drag me down so much; this was by far the best. It was truly life-changing and one I drastically needed.”

Personal Values Course:
“After finishing the Personal Values course, I feel so much better. I had a lot of shit coming out of my chest. I feel a really big difference. I feel much better. I feel relieved and lighter; all my fears went away. Personal Values were another step to clean my soul and get me ready to go out there and start my new life all clean and with a different set of mind and become the successful person that I was born to be and live drug-free.”
