Drug Rehab Handles Addict’s Viewpoint On Life

Filed under: Riverbend — Tags: alcohol addiction, Narconon Louisiana, The Way To Happiness — admin @ 2:53 pm

Everyone knows that a bad reputation precedes the person, especially when that person is a drug addict. For every drug addict in the United States there are at least 10 people that person has harmed in some way while in their quest to obtain drugs and/or alcohol. While it may seem like an addict has no remorse and may not even realize how much they are hurting someone, which is not usually the case. In fact, for most addicts, the guilt they feel after harming their loved ones is so great that they turn to drugs and alcohol to wipe away the painful memories of their actions. This manifestation illustrates just how vital drug and alcohol rehab is to an addict.

For anyone who has looked into drug rehabs for a loved one, they understand how overwhelming it can be. There are dozens of questions that need to be answered. Long-term or short-term? Inpatient or outpatient? Free or private pay? But perhaps the most important question of them all is “will this work?”

Narconon Louisiana is a long-term, inpatient rehabilitation facility that focuses on results-based therapy. This means that there is no set timeframe for a person to be enrolled in this rehab, instead counselors focus on getting the person to change their viewpoint on life, change the traps and landmines in their head that allow them to resort to drugs and alcohol. Narconon Louisiana does not believe that addiction is a disease; instead clients work one on one with a counselor to figure out what problem drugs and alcohol were a solution for in the first place. Once that problem is isolated and handled clients no longer feel the need to resort to drugs and alcohol in the first place.

In addition to Narconon Louisiana’s unique approach on drug addiction, clients enrolled in this program also enroll in a course that focuses on common-sense living. The Way To Happiness is a course made up of 21 precepts that enlighten an individual on what is expected from them by society. Often times, addicts will complete a drug rehab program, go back into society and have no idea what is needed in order to live a successful, sober life. THis course allows clients to re-evaluate their lives and learn to live by a set of morals that will bring them closer to society, not separate them.

For instance, in The Way To Happiness, clients learn about people of goodwill, and how not to harm them. While this may sound simple to people who aren’t suffering from an addiction, this is vital for recovering addicts. By the end of the Narconon program clients have realigned themselves with sober, productive members of society. People of goodwill are now part of their group. This is a far cry from their life prior to enrolling in the Narconon Louisiana program, drug addicts associate themselves with other people who have the same morals as them.

Drug and alcohol addiction does not have to go unhandled. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a drug or alcohol addiction please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.

Former Addicts Focus On Their Role In Society

Filed under: Riverbend — Tags: alcohol rehab, Narconon Louisiana, The Way To Happiness — admin @ 6:15 pm

One of the biggest indications that someone is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol is their inability to care about other people and things around them. This is evident in the way they isolate themselves from their jobs, families, loved ones, and even their children. However, one drug and alcohol rehab is proving that this unfortunate side effect of addiction can be turned around. The Narconon Riverbend program allows addicts to not only regain control of their lives, but to have the desire to create and expand their lives. This is done by focusing on several different aspects of an addict’s life, like what their role in society is and how important their role can be in any kind of group.

By the time a person is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol they have usually severed any relationships they may have had. While this is extremely painful for their families and loved ones of an addict, it is also unbelievably destructive to the addicts themselves. When a person is consumed with drugs and alcohol they essentially make themselves smaller. They lose their drive to create. This means that they are no longer interested in goals like career, family, or spiritual. This is evident in almost anyone who has given themselves over to addiction. While this is devastating, very few people realize that addiction and it’s resulting effects can be remedied.

While most rehab facilities focus on the 12-step method of rehabilitation, one treatment center has taken a unique and successful approach to handling addiction permanently. Narconon Louisiana uses several different tools to handling addiction. While their success rate is unrivaled by any other technique, 76% of Narconon graduates remain clean after completing the program, it is the knowledge that clients attain that makes this rehab so workable and easy to relate to.

One of the steps that clients enrolled on the Narconon Louisiana program participate in is called The Way To Happiness. The Way To Happiness is a common-sense guide to life. This course allows people to rediscover some of the morals that drugs and alcohol have caused them to give up along the way. One of the biggest barriers to sobriety is disconnection between the addict and the rest of society. Once a person has become drug and alcohol free they are now left to deal with re-entering into society. The Way To Happiness provides a former addict with a guide on what is expected from him and how the rest of society lives. For instance, one of the precepts in The Way To Happiness is “Support a Government Designed and Run For All The People”. This is an example of how encompassing this course is, and how clients are left with a road map to life.

Narconon Louisiana is a non-profit drug and alcohol rehab that does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. Instead clients work one on one with a counselor to figure out what problems drugs and/or alcohol were a solution for. Utilizing the skills from The Way To Happiness as well as the rest of this program, clients are able to lead drug-free, productive lives, without the burden of addiction.

If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a drug or alcohol addiction please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.

Filed under: Riverbend — Tags: alcohol addiction, drug rehab, The Way To Happiness — admin @ 9:31 am

In a world of crime and drug abuse, simple responsibilities like taking care of your children can get ignored. Our newspapers and televisions are littered with stories of abandoned children, or children growing up around drugs and crime. When a person is consumed with drugs and alcohol it makes it almost impossible to think about anything else. The only real way to combat drug and alcohol addiction and give these children a fighting chance is for addicts to enroll in an effective drug rehab program like Narconon Louisiana.

Prior to graduating from the Narconon program clients enroll in a life course geared towards creating stronger morals called The Way To Happiness. Often times when a person tries to re-enter society after struggling with drugs or alcohol they realize that not only do they have to live a sober life but they have to live by a whole new moral code. The Way To Happiness is a common sense guide to life that addicts need in order to live a drug-free, productive life. Shannon*, a recent graduate of The Way To Happiness Course explains “I never considered myself a bad mother, I knew that my alcohol addiction was killing me, but I never stepped back and really examined the effects it had on my daughter until I did this course.”

After years of struggling with alcohol and relapsing Shannon’s family enrolled her in the Narconon Louisiana program. “Everyone knows that drinking is bad, everyone knows that alcoholism will eventually kill you,” she says. “But what The Way To Happiness Course taught me was that I had the ability to change all that, I had the ability to take care of my daughter better than before I even started drinking.”

In addition to focusing on an individual’s moral code, and the necessity to improve it prior to graduating the program, Narconon Louisiana focuses on several other aspects of a client’s life. Unlike most rehabilitation programs, Narconon does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. Instead, clients work one on one with a counselor to figure out what problems drugs and/or alcohol was a solution for.

Achieving a 76% success rate, Narconon Louisiana’s unique and effective approach to rehabilitation is what allows people to lead a life free from drugs and alcohol. “I had been to several rehabs before coming to narconon, and I always left thinking that there had to be something more” explains Shannon, “and it wasn’t until I completed The Way To Happiness course that I realized that not only was there something more, but that I had finally gotten the lessons I needed.”
