One of the biggest complaints about some addiction treatment
programs is the outcome after treatment. A percentage of people will attend an
inpatient facility for two weeks, thirty days or even longer and relapse back
to drugs. As a result addicts think treatment doesn’t work and family members
wonder if they’re investment in rehab for a loved one was a bad one.
The truth is that treatment does work and any investment in
a life is worthwhile. But what is the missing component with relapse related to
addiction?
Experts in the field have studied this for years and the
number one reason for relapse is a physical drug craving. What many thought is
that when an individual used drugs those substances stayed in the body for 3
days for drugs like methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine and up to a month for
marijuana. The real truth is that drugs being lyophilic [fat bonding]
substances actually remain with the user for much, much longer.
When someone uses drugs those substances hit the brain
causing the initial reaction and then the body will begin to try to get rid of
them. They pass through the liver and kidneys. Some of the substances leave
through sweat or urine but most of the drug stays in the body sticking in the
fatty tissue. No matter if one is underweight or overweight we all have these
tissues and drugs can remain in them for 10-20 years or more after use.
If an individual has these substances stored in the fat it
is just a matter of time before the body will burn that fat for energy. When
this happens a bit of the drug is re-released into the system, travels to the
brain the produces what is called the physical drug cravings.
While most rehab programs handle the mental and emotional
aspects of addiction, there are not many that treat these cravings. This is why
relapse rates are so high after some treatment.
The Narconon Sauna
Program Handles Cravings
The Narconon Sauna Program was specifically adopted to
handle the physical drug craving process. At Narconon facilities it is called
the New Life Detoxification program. This is a very specific treatment method
that includes the following:
- Flushing out toxins by spending intermitted periods in a dry heat sauna. A standard ‘sweating schedule’ would be 10-15 minutes sweating in the sauna with a considerable break of 20 minutes, with a cool down shower and then back again on the same schedule for up to 5 hours a day.
- Plenty of water to replenish anything lost in sweating.
- The use of cold pressed oils to trade the good fat for the bad.
- The ‘Cal-Mag Formula’ which is a Calcium Magnesium drink used for healing and to support the nervous system, joints and muscles.
- The use of Niacin, also called the educated vitamin. Niacin is essential to nutrition and helps to get rid of toxins as well as accumulated radiation in the human body.
- Proper nutrition through a specific regimen of vitamins used through the program and a diet rich in not-overcooked vegetables.
- A specific regimen of exercise that includes 30 minutes of cardio daily.
The end result of the sauna program is that the individual
is free from the residuals of past chemicals and drugs and he will have a very
clear feeling of overall well-being.
Why To Consider The
Narconon Sauna
The primary reasons an individual would consider this form
of treatment is because it is the only known treatment that primarily resolves
physical drug cravings naturally. The Narconon sauna program does not use any
type of replacement or other drugs during the sauna. The focus is on healthy
living, nutrition and it can rebuild these elements for those who have led an
unhealthy lifestyle because of drugs.
Since adopting this part of the rehabilitation program
Narconon has successfully put thousands through the sauna with stellar results.
This has also been the case with those patients who fell into the pattern of
relapse after treatment that did not use sauna detoxification.
