All drugs create some type of effect on the body, mentally and physically. However, the cessation of some drugs cause more serious physical reactions than other drugs. Drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine often cause a person to suffer only from extreme fatigue and hunger. This is often due to the fact that these drugs are stimulants and cause the person to experience reduced hunger and increased energy while on the drug. While intoxicated on these drugs most people feel too energetic to sleep and can sometimes refrain from doing so for days and days. When the person stops using, they often feel a crash or let down and the treatment for this is for the person to get adequate rest and nutrition. A person who is coming off of this type of drug may also experience an acute depression that will begin to go away within a few days, and the person should feel much happier about a month after quitting.

Other drugs do cause a more severe physical withdrawal however. This means that over a period of time when a person is using one of these particular drugs their body becomes dependent on the drug to function in a normal capacity. When the person stops using the drug, the body is no longer able to function normally. The person will suffer from physical withdrawal. There are many drugs that a person can become physically dependent on after a period of use. Some drugs take longer than others to become physically dependent on. Below is a list of some of the drugs that can cause withdrawal symptoms with cessation of use.

Physical drug withdrawal symptoms vary, depending on which drug the person is coming off of. Drug withdrawal symptoms can vary from the person feeling slight discomfort or headaches, like with caffeine cessation, to being life threatening and needing medical supervision such in the case with alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal.

One of the reasons that people can have such a hard time coming off of certain drugs is because of the withdrawal symptoms that they suffer when they stop. There are many treatments available to people when they stop using certain drugs that can alleviate some of these withdrawal symptoms. In some cases it is very important that a person check with their physician before stopping some drugs because withdrawal from some of these drugs can be fatal. This is especially true with some anti-depressants, benzodiazepines and alcohol. The person can go into a psychosis and suffer from hallucinations, have seizures, a heart attack and many other dangerous symptoms. In these cases the person really needs to go to a medical detox to ensure their safety.

Most Narconon’s do not offer a medical withdrawal, but are usually affiliated with hospitals and doctors that do. In cases where medical withdrawal procedures are not necessary, Narconon offers natural methods to help alleviate a persons symptoms. The person is given physical support in the form of vitamins and minerals. The reason that Narconon uses these and that they work so well is because often over time a person gets very vitamin deficient while using drugs. The person will often not pay attention to their diet and making sure that they are eating balanced meals to fill all their nutritional needs. The person may be using a drug such as opiates that causes a decrease in appetite in the person. Although in the beginning of opiate withdrawal the person is going to usually suffer from vomiting and diarrhea no matter what, giving plenty of vitamins and water will usually greatly decrease the amount of time that the person will spend withdrawing.

In addition to using vitamins, Narconon also does mental exercises with the person that help the person come into the present moment. These help the person relax and helps them to stop thinking negative thoughts which can lead to increased agitation. When a person is suffering from excessive mental agitation it will cause their body to be more tense which will make them feel worse.

The person will also take calcium and magnesium which is a natural relaxant. It will help soothe the person’s nerves and help them to calm down. The Narconon withdrawal method is completely natural and coincides with the rest of the Narconon program, which aims at getting the person healthy in mind and body. This is a very effective way at approaching addiction, because when a person has the ability to feel good naturally, their need for drugs or alcohol is greatly reduced.

Once the person goes through withdrawal, whether it is at the Narconon facility or at an offsite medical facility, the person will then start the Narconon program it self. The Narconon program consists of two phases. The first phase is called the Narconon New Life Detoxification program which helps the person to regain their physical well being and helps reduce their physical cravings quite a bit through a specific regimen of vitamins, minerals and sweating in a sauna. This helps the person’s body naturally rid itself of accumulated toxins and drug metabolites which after time can cause the person to feel run down and unhealthy.

Once the person feels physically better, they then go onto the second phase of the program that deals with the social and emotional aspects of addiction. In this phase the person learns the tools necessary to deal with other people and themselves and continue to be in a positive state of mind without using drugs while doing so. In this phase the person also comes to terms with their past and learns the tools necessary to ensure a good future. The Narconon program is one of the most successful programs in the world at beating drug addiction. Narconon has a seventy six percent success rate.
