Narconon Fresh Start Is A Lifesaving Opportunity!

Narconon Fresh Start can be a lifesaving opportunity for someone who hasn’t had success in other types of programs. Instead of giving up, addicted individuals and their families can put their faith in a program which has among the highest success rates in terms of lasting abstinence for clients who complete treatment. And unlike other programs which require continuous maintenance, because addiction is treated as a disease, Narconon Fresh Start clients experience complete 100% resolution so that they can move forward in their lives with complete confidence that substance abuse is behind them. We don’t use the disease model at Narconon Fresh Start facilities, and our clients fare much better during and after treatment because of it. Instead of relinquishing control to a disease or some other unknown entity, our clients are conditioned to gain back the control lost by their substance abuse and the lifestyle that this resulted in.

The first step of Narconon Fresh start completely rehabilitates the individual physically, so they are not held back during or after treatment physically because of intense withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings. The detox process at Narconon Fresh Start is much more in-depth than one would experience at a traditional program, and actually includes a sauna program which helps remove residual drugs and toxins which may still be present even after a standard detox. Individuals typically experience a very needed physical renewal during the sauna detoxification step, which helps them focus on the rest of the treatment process and helps them with cravings so that they don’t relapse. It will take as long as 3-4 weeks in some cases to complete this extensive detoxification process unique to the Narconon Fresh Start program, and the subsequent steps of the program will take anywhere from 2 to 6 months. Since individuals remain in a residential Narconon Fresh Start facility during their entire time in treatment, our program is what is referred to as a long-term residential treatment program.

Narconon Fresh Start facilities are fully equipped and prepared to accommodate a long-term stay, with healthy home cooked meals, comfortable accommodations, plenty of extra-curricular activities, and a well-trained and experienced staff which provide all of the support and guidance needed around-the-clock for our clients. While Narconon Fresh Start facilities are very often located in settings which allow for extra-curricular activities including sports, swimming, hiking etc. this is not the main focus of treatment of course and individuals will spend the vast majority of their time every day working on their recovery process. It is recommended that individuals who are looking into a Narconon Fresh Start program should choose a facility that isn’t near home. While this may seem like an inconvenience, it is actually going to provide clients with the best possible opportunity to experience a successful rehabilitation process. In this scenario, individuals don’t have ready access to influences which could compromise their recovery and they won’t have access to drugs. It will also be significantly more difficult for them to leave rehab when things get tough because home will be so far away, and this has proven to be a key element in the success of the Narconon Fresh Start program.

Narconon Fresh Start Gives You Back Control of Your Life

Narconon Fresh Start provides individuals struggling with addiction a means to gain back the control lost in their lives because of their substance abuse, and the confidence they need to move forward without ever looking back. While other programs instill in their clients that there is no cure for addiction and they must understand that they have no power over it, Narconon Fresh Start provides treatment clients with the life tools, coping mechanisms and self-esteem to be able to have complete control of their lives, decisions, and future. We don’t abide by the disease model that has been so popular yet ineffective for so many years. We have clients every day who walk in the doors at our Narconon Fresh Start programs around country who have all but given up because of such programs, which have failed them in the past. We don’t want our clients and your loved ones to experience any more devastating setbacks, and luckily we have the treatment methodology to back this up.

While it has been the treatment norm to have more of a maintenance approach to addiction, where individuals will need to be “in recovery” for the rest of their lives, Narconon Fresh Start offers intensive residential treatment which provides full resolution to addiction within just a few months when clients commit and apply themselves to the treatment process. At Narconon Fresh Start, we don’t only sit and watch a person detox and call it a day once they have been physically stabilized and through withdrawal. We go the extra mile to make sure all of the residual drugs are completely eliminated through our proven and effective sauna detoxification step. This lowers the risk of drug flashbacks and relapse significantly, because these residual drugs and toxins will no longer effect the client ever again. This is a unique part of our treatment process which is offered nowhere else, and the individual completes this step feeling more mentally and physically prepared for what needs to be done during the actual rehabilitation step.

The other unique aspect of Narconon Fresh Start treatment curriculum is that individuals are taken through a step by step program which includes life training to build better self esteem and communication and confront skills. A thorough inventory of one’s companions, family, co-workers, etc. is conducted to bring to light any relationships which are oppressive, abusive or negative in any way. If there are people in one’s life who could compromise one’s abstinence, treatment counselors help clients develop ways to either completely cut ties or change the nature of the relationship so that individuals are confident that they will no longer allow such relationships to negatively impact them in the future. Clients are also encouraged to shed their transgressions and bring them out in the open, so they are no longer a mental burden to them. Clients can then make amends for these transgressions, which will ultimately help them move forward in their lives without guilt and shame that goes hand in hand with addiction, which is what provides Fresh Start clients with a true fresh start.

The Benefits of Narconon Fresh Start

Narconon Fresh Start offers addicted individuals many benefits that just aren’t available at other programs. To start with, Narconon Fresh Starts builds their treatment model around the concept that individuals can find full resolution to their addiction. This means that once someone completes the Narconon Fresh Start program, they aren’t going to have to attend meetings for the rest of their life like some other programs such as AA for example. While there are after care services available at our programs and individuals are always encouraged to contact treatment counselors as needed, this isn’t a mandatory step as part of a lifetime “recovery” process. This is because at Narconon Fresh Start, we don’t treat addiction as a disease, but as a choice. This puts the individual in full control of their addiction and their choices in regards to it, not in the position of a victim.

At Narconon Fresh Start we offer a unique detoxification process to fully rid the body of drugs and toxins which could affect the person when they leave the program at any point. Our detoxification step includes a sauna program which incorporates exercise and supplements to get an individual completely purified, and in a much better position physically and mentally to be able to fully overcome their addiction. Drugs and toxins can remain lodged in muscle and fatty tissues and find their way back into the person’s system unexpectedly, which can cause them to experience unwanted effects and side effects long after they stop taking drugs. This is commonly known as a flashback, a scenario which isn’t going to happen if the individual is properly detoxed and all of these substances effectively flushed from their bodies. So the purification step of the Narconon Fresh Start program is an innovative and proven way to accomplish this.

Once an individual has completed the detox process at Narconon Fresh Start, the rehabilitation process continues with the focus turning to things which trigger the individual’s substance abuse. For example, they may have low self-esteem, or an inability to communicate freely with others. There could be something in their lives which deeply affected them and changed the course of their life for the worse, such as a failure or an abusive relationship. Each step of the Narconon Fresh Start programs brings all these types of issues to the surface to that they can be effectively resolved. There are communication training drills and life drills so that individuals have the ability to cope through certain situations in their lives better; situations which may have been difficult for them in the past and are the reasons they turned to drugs and alcohol in the first place. There are also steps taken to help the individuals do a thorough examination of their relationships, and things they can do to shed negative and abusive ones from their lives and make amends to the people who are their real allies and will provide positive support when they leave treatment. All of these steps guarantee a more positive and permanent outcome, and why the Narconon Fresh Start program has such a high success rate.

Getting Off and Staying Off Drugs with Narconon Fresh Start

There are many challenges and obstacles to get through on one's road to recovery. You may think that after the recovered addict has met and conquered these difficulties to become free from drugs it would be unlikely that they would return to using drugs again. Unfortunately that's not the case. During a person's active addiction they are afflicted with many issues, and lack of knowledge is at the top of the list. Often, people believe that what is truly missing in the addicted individual is personal strength, power and enough determination not take the drugs and return to living their previous drug free life. However, what is truly missing from the addict's brain is the information and understanding of how to avoid using drugs. They need the actual knowledge and how to apply it to remain sober that usually comes from of being distanced from negative influences associated with substance abuse for a long time. Part of the know-how that these individuals are lacking to remain sober is relapse prevention techniques. They do not know the many important signals that predict a slipup could be coming.

Narconon Fresh Start has several tips that will help the recovered addict:

-Be mindful of the people you surround yourself with.

When a person is off drugs or alcohol and living a drug-free lifestyle spending time with past friends they once used with is going to result in one of two consequences. The time they spend with their old using buddies is going to put them in contact with things that may tempt them unnecessarily that will stretch their ability to resist. When people use drugs they just don't like being around sober people. They feel uncomfortable and embarrassed to be stoned and act strange when the other guy is sober and watching what is going on from a sober vantage point. The other consequence of hanging out with past drug using buddies is that the recovered addict gives in to getting high with their friends to fit in again.

-Focus your attention outside yourself 

A person who is introverted by nature will find that their power diminishes and they begin to draw inwards and become anxious and worried. Finding an activity to focus on outside oneself means that the attention that would have been worrying about nothing is less available and can be directed into constructive thoughts and planning on the outward task at hand.

Always keep in the front of your mind how it could be easy to fall back into your old routines.
Addiction to drugs and alcohol is a problem that is long-lasting and a cycle that takes time to break. It is not atypical for an ex-addict to find themselves around a lot of drug abusers after having had time spent living a sober lifestyle. It can happen so quickly, the urge to use becomes the action of using and in time the person's addiction begins again. Because of how quickly this process takes place it is important you don't ignore this warning sign. Live each day as if you're newly recovered from addiction. Keeping your guard up to such an extreme degree is necessary to maintain your sobriety.

-Last but not least, a vital piece of advice for a person trying to recover from addiction is:

Find a life's purpose! It cannot be just anything, but one something worth your effort puts meaning into your life and that's outcome will be obvious because of your endeavor to remain focused on it. Having a purpose will help make the significant impact on the speed and longevity of your recovery and the long term results you reap from remaining focused on the purpose you have chosen. Quite literally, by finding a purpose in your life you won't have time to stray from your path because your energy will be spent working on something greater.

Often times you hear of someone that struggled with a substance abuse and was able to stop using when they started a family. This may be the purpose some need to achieve lasting sobriety, but for others it isn't enough. Take a long hard look within yourself and find what will be more significant to you than getting high. Find that purpose, and you will have found the your own path to a drug free life.
