The Drawbacks of Drug Rehabilitation Using Prescription Medication
Sunday, September 4th, 2011Rehabs that Use Prescription Medication
There are drug rehabilitation centers all over the world that, upon arrival, place clients on anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and mood stabilizers. Physicians encourage this behavior because prescription drugs are big business, but the truth of the matter is simple: replacing one drug dependency for another is reckless. These facilities will often times prescribe methadone to heroin addicts, replacing their addiction with a much more addictive substance. Anti-depressants are easily prescribed to clients who claim they are depressed. Of course they are depressed; they are addicted to drugs.
Holistic Treatment
The Narconon Program takes a holistic approach to drug rehabilitation. Narconon has a completely drug-free program that focuses on cleansing a person’s body of all the drug toxins that have been trapped in the fatty tissues. Most drugs are out of a person’s circulatory system in a few days, but drug residuals can remain trapped in one’s fatty cells for years. This can lead to cravings years after a person stops using drugs.
Narconon believes that a person, whether or not he or she realizes it, is always in control of how he or she feels. Through extensive life skills training, people learn how to be more at “cause” over their lives instead of always being at “effect” of their environment. This helps people take control of their lives, face their fears, absolve themselves of shame and guilt, and live happily.
