        Individuals seeking treatment for a loved one with a chronic drug addiction problem should be educated on the subject of drug addiction.  The following information was compiled to fulfill this need.  We hope you find it helpful.                   

        To truly understand the type of treatment that is appropriate for individuals with a chronic drug addiction problem it is important to understand the mechanisms that are at work.  Drug addiction could be defined as a constant and unrelenting effort to obtain drugs in order to alter the feelings and perceptions of the person using them.  Another facet of drug addiction is the brain adapts to the presence of drugs and makes adjustments accordingly.  Because of these chemical changes in the brain due to the constant use of drugs, when a drug abuser attempts to halt their drug use the brain signals the individual that the drug is needed.  This is a major cause of drug cravings.  All drug abusers experience drug cravings for some period of time after ceasing drug use that is a basic fact.  This phenomenon will diminish over time as brain function returns to normal.  Drug addiction typically involves habitual routines in the environmental scope of the individual i.e. the locations they use drugs, the people they hang out with, etc.  In other words drug addiction is not just drug use, it also revolves around people and things in their immediate environment, which help to reinforce the addictive behavior.  The individual's proximity & routines therein are what help to hold their addiction in place.  It is the constant negative activities of their day-to-day life that perpetuates the problem and inhibits the native desire to stop ruining their life through the use of drugs.  
        The above factors should not be over looked when considering a treatment center location.  As our network consists of Arrowhead, Stonehawk and Northern & Southern California facilities to name a few; these are residential facilities while Narconon Florida is an intensive outpatient facility located in the Tampa Bay, Clearwater area; on the Gulf Coast side of Florida.
