Narconon Alcohol Treatment
People who are suffering from an addiction to alcohol usually have very good results when they attend Narconon Alcohol Treatment. Narconon has a very good program for any person who is suffering from addiction, especially those people who have not had success in more traditional rehabs. Narconon does not approach addiction as a disease, but rather as a disability. In the Narconon program a person is not told that once they are an addict or alcoholic they will always be an addict or alcoholic. For those people who have felt uncomfortable in other programs because they were forced to admit that they were helpless to their addiction and that they would always be that way, Narconon is a very good option.
Why Do People Get Addicted?
When a person becomes addicted to any mind altering substance, it is usually because they have feelings that they are uncomfortable dealing with. The person will turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to escape these feelings because alcohol and drugs act as a sedative to the mind and the body and cause a person to feel numb.
The reason that most of the people who become alcoholics do so is because they do not have the abilities that are needed to handle life on life’s terms. Life can be compared to a game, really any game. If a person tries to play a game and does not know the rules, they are going to have a very hard time winning that game. This is true for the game of life also.
When a person goes through life and they do not really know what they are doing, unknowingly they are going to create problems for themselves and others around them. Because most people really are good in their heart and want to do the right thing, this can cause them to feel very bad about themselves and their situation in life. When a person like this uses alcohol, they often find that the alcohol numbs their negative feelings and for a moment they feel relief and also feel better about whatever situation they are in. Because they are numb to their negative emotions, they often also become numb to the situation that is causing them. More and more of the persons problems start to add up because the person is continually running from them and whenever the person sobers up for a moment, their problems are right there in front of their face again, more upsetting than ever.
The person gets to the point where the only thing that they care about is continuing to drink, because for them to sober up and face the music and what they have done to their life and to those around them is much too painful for them to deal with. If the person never learns how to take control over their life, they are probably going to have to deal with addiction for the rest of their life. It does not matter if the person is dealing with crack symptoms or alcohol symptoms; the root of addiction is usually the same for everyone who is suffering from it.
The Narconon Solution
The difference between the Narconon program and other programs is that the Narconon program encourages and teaches a person to take responsibility for themselves and their own life. Many alcoholics or addicts can take a look at the messages in other programs and use them as an excuse to continue to drink or use. The mantra of the Twelve Step is that once a person is an alcoholic or an addict they will always be that way. It is true that people who have suffered from addiction in the past do need to be careful for the rest of their lives to avoid mind altering substances, but they do not need to go around telling themselves that they are flawed and there is nothing that they can do to change that fact.
A person will learn how to properly communicate with other people while they are in the program without getting overly emotional or upset about things that they do not really need to get upset about. They will also learn how to face their own problems without getting over-emotional about those either so that they are more able to handle them.
The person will also learn the characteristics of social and anti-social people so that they are better able to tell what type of people will be beneficial for them to be around and what type of people will only bring them down. It is always easier to improve one’s life when surrounded by good, positive people.
The person will come to terms and take responsibility for the things that they did in the past that they feel guilty about without justifying these actions or blaming someone else for them. When a person learns to take responsibility for their own actions and gets to the point where they realize that the situation that they are in, they put themselves in, it gives that person the power to also be able to change the situation and improve it for the better.
The person will also take a look at all aspects of their lives and see what needs to be done in each area to make up the damage that was created from the person’s addiction. At this point the person will also do a course that teaches a person why living an ethical and moral life will actually help them to succeed and prosper and why people who are criminals are much less likely to have a good life.
A person who takes responsibility for themselves and has the power to control their own actions does not need to be ruled by others nor depend on them either. This is true individual freedom and a person learns how to do just that in the Narconon program.
