Narconon Arrowhead Helps Former Addicts Regain Control over Their Environment
Individuals learn through effective rehabilitation and education to maintain long-term sobriety
(PRWEB) June 10, 2005 -- The road to recovery can be bumpy along the way, to
say the least. After individuals complete treatment and make the decision to
stay clean and sober, they must then look at long-term effectiveness, which
means changing their environment to suit their new outlook on life.
Part
of the lifestyle that develops during the addiction process is the tendency on
the part of the addict to develop some anti-social behavior. These individuals
are in most cases basically good to start with. Because of the misconduct
associated with drug and alcohol addiction, however, they begin to develop
negative attitudes towards people they know and love and to some degree become
aggressive towards the authority figures in their lives.
As these
negative attitudes develop, addicts will pull away from the good and honest
people in their lives. They begin to associate with people instead who are
usually those in favor of, or in agreement with, the lifestyle of drug or
alcohol addiction. Once addicts sober up and begin to get back in touch with
reality, it is important that they be able to identify social and anti-social
characteristics in people and be able to differentiate from people who will
support their sobriety and people who want to drag them back into the life of
addiction.
As one component of the Narconon Arrowhead Drug
Rehabilitation and Education Program, the Narconon® Ups and Downs in Life Course
is a life skills training course that is delivered in a class room situation by
a person trained in the Narconon technology. Narconon Arrowhead is one of the
largest and most successful alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in the
country and it uses the drug-free methodology developed by American author and
humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard.
Accompanied by a manual, the course teaches
an individual how to identify social and anti-social human characteristics in
themselves and other people. Once former addicts learn these characteristics,
they will have a workable system to identify and develop positive relationships
with people who will be supportive to their continued recovery and know what
type of people and relationships will jeopardize their sobriety and quality of
life.
As one graduate of the program states, “It means the difference of
being able to adjust my environment to me and my ideals instead of having to
adjust to my surroundings. It’s about being in control instead of
powerless.”
