Relief as a Part of Drug Rehab
The Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehabilitation Program helps addicts take responsibility for their past and look toward the future
(PRWEB) June 2, 2005 -- We live in a society today where too often people are
taught to “look out for number one” as opposed to looking out for friends and
neighbors. Morals and values have gone out the window and have been replaced
with the promotion of instant gratification. This mentality has created
escalated immoral behavior and increased drug use, from street drugs to
pharmaceuticals.
Unethical behavior and repeated misconduct go part and
parcel with an addicted lifestyle. Addicts become trapped in committing
transgressions against people in their lives and against society at large. They
get into the vicious circle of committing transgressions in an attempt to hide
or continue their drug or alcohol use. This then puts them in situations where
further transgressions are committed in an attempt to solve the problems that
the earlier transgressions have created.
As this cycle continues, these
individuals begin to individuate from the people in their lives who love and
care about them and may become antagonistic toward them. They hurt the people
they love most and as a consequence they become ridden with guilt. This in turn
makes them so uncomfortable they will use more drugs or drink in an attempt to
cover up or medicate away these negative feelings.
Most alcohol and drug
addiction treatment programs have some type of component where the addict has to
take an inventory of the misdeeds they have done to others and the damage they
have caused. The Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehabilitation Program takes this a
step further with the Narconon® Personal Values and Integrity Course. Narconon
Arrowhead is one of the nation’s largest and most successful drug rehabilitation
and education centers and is founded on the drug-free methodology developed by
American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard.
The Personal Values and
Integrity Course is delivered in a classroom setting under the supervision of a
person trained in this procedure. This course teaches addicts a system that will
help them alleviate the guilt that is associated with their drug or alcohol
related misconduct. In this course past misdeeds are inventoried one at time in
a very specific manner. This procedure helps the addicts identify transgressions
when they occurred, where they happened, who was involved with them at the time
and the harm which resulted because of the misdeed.
Through this
confessional procedure, addicts experience relief. They also become aware of the
damage they are responsible for in their environment that they need to repair.
This opens the door for the individual to be able to start the process of
repairing these negative conditions. Once this process is completed, the
individual’s integrity is restored, along with the understanding that true
happiness can only be achieved through living an ethical lifestyle.
“It
was a very difficult process at first,” recalls a graduate of Narconon
Arrowhead, “but when I completed this course I felt a tremendous amount of
relief and I no longer had to hide or run from those things. They have been put
behind me for good.”
Ultimately, a former addict must take
responsibility for him or her self, regardless of what treatment philosophy is
being followed, if long-term stable recovery is to be achieved.
