Is rehab an opportunity or a punishment?

Some believe that rehab should be a place where you skulk around feeling pitiful, possibly even treated like a wet rag. Others believe that rehab should be a punishment, where a person has to be broken down and stripped of their strong headed attitudes. These attitudes about rehab programs came about through animal training and a repentant attitude of having done wrong. Neither Pavlovian animal training nor hyper critical demoralizing techniques are rehabilitation. Breaking down wild animals and ego destruction has little or nothing to do with rehabilitating people.

Rehabilitation at Narconon Centers

A rehab program should bring a person’s true personality out and rid them of their false characteristics. A Narconon rehab program never criticizes the person, instead their actions may be wrong and need to be amended. At Narconon rehab centers, people are treated with a great deal of dignity and granted importance for who they are. They are expected to reclaim their lives and take control of life again, despite the situations they may find themselves in.

Rehab means to rehabilitate or bring back to normal or proper functioning or state. A Narconon rehab center counselors assume their is a rightness about the individual that needs to be assisted back into operation.

The Narconon rehab program is a social betterment program focusing on social skills, honesty, integrity and improving ones own lot in life. While understanding and compassion for someone who’s realized that they’ve really messed up is an integral part of rehab, the focus is educating Narconon students to be more successful and effective community citizens.

Self respect and confidence in self are the result of pride in doing the right thing. Self respect is not something that can be given to someone or attained through medications. Self confidence is earned. Rehabilitation is a the process of helping another bring out the best in themselves so they can regain pride in themselves.

Narconon is a rehabilitation program focusing on Social Educational skills.

Tibor A. Palatinus, Narconon Vancouver

Narconon Drug Prevention Specialist and Rehab Counselor

The integrity of the program comes from an insistence by Narconon International that all Narconon rehab programs follow the exact routines necessary to gain a drug-free life for all enrolling. This means that due to the extensive work required for the client, the Narconon program will take an average of 3 to 5 months. The goal is to get a person regaining control of their own lives.

Rehab Program at Narconon

The Narconon program can be viewed in 3 phases:

1. Withdrawal / detox from physically addictive substances
2. Rehabilitation from a lifestyle of drug abuse
3. Re-introduction back to society

1 Narconon withdrawal and detox

Any person experiencing a withdrawal and detox at a Narconon rehab center knows that withdrawal and detox at a Narconon program is totally different than any rehab program or hospital they’ve been to before.

No drugs or list of prescriptions are given out. One is never doped up with pharmaceuticals in the day or night. No drugs are used at a Narconon rehab center.

Rehabilitation at a Narconon Center

Rehabilitation means to bring back to life. At a Narconon rehab, this means to bring back to a life no longer needing drugs or alcohol to function.

Narconon uses a social educational or learning model of rehabilitation. A social learning model is a method of rehab that assumes a person can and should learn and develop new and better skills, understanding and behaviors in order to master their lives without dependency to drugs / alcohol.

Specialized techniques, powerful processes and learning new skills are necessary components of the Narconon social educational model of rehabilitation.

3. Return to Society

Near the end of completing the Narconon rehab program, a student / client works out a full return program with a Narconon counselor. A 3 to 6 month plan is drawn out by the graduating Narconon student. This plan will include relapse prevention, goals, steps to make up damage to society, etc.

This return program should be known by the students closest associates when he or she returns home after graduating the Narconon rehab program.

Vancouver, BC is a major port city for the rest of Canada and the US. Factually, a great deal of drugs move through our BC ports on their way to US markets according to the RCMP. Truthfully, many of the big drug players already have ‘family’ representatives in the metro Vancouver area. I’m not talking about biker gangs, I’m talking mafia.

When the world puts it’s attention onto Vancouver, BC on 2010 some of that attention will be from drug dealing sources. We can expect an increase of gang land struggles between rival street dealers and possibly major players making moves into the area the 6 months following the Games. Prices of drugs may fluctuate and quality of drugs should likewise see some changes up and down.

Thankfully the majority of people coming to Vancouver will be wonderful social individuals wanting to tour the area and take part in the Olympic tradition. Vancouver welcomes the athletes, families and tourists converging on our city in February, 2010.

Long Term Drug Rehab Centers in BC

Currently, if you want a private pay long term addiction rehab program in BC, you’ll be paying $10,000 to $20,000 per month for the nicer centers. Many people have paid $50,000 for several months at ‘Edgewood’ in Nanaimo, BC, some only to relapse shortly after but the majority to stay clean for a reasonable time following.

If one is comparing time / cost, the Narconon rehab program is probably the most cost effective and life changing detox and rehab program available today in Canada. An average stay is between 3 and 5 months. The average cost is $25,000; half the amount you’d expect to pay at similar centers.

You can call us at Narconon Vancouver 604-873-1762 or 1-866-266-6616 to discuss the Narconon program for yourself of a family member.

The best drug prevention activities involve getting kids involved in their community, contributing to the culture and building on our current foundation. The next generation will soon be directly serving the community. We can significantly influence their involvement by encouraging and supporting worthwhile activities now.

Drug education is more of a warning system, an alert of what to watch out for in our free market system economy. Educating kids about drugs really only works when other more effective and permanent opportunities are accessible.

Prevention Education as an Opportunity

When a kid has realized for themselves that they are a member of the community, that they have a place and that they influence their community and others, they should be encouraged to plan out their lives.

Goal setting and working on real short, medium and long term goals gives a person compass to their lives. Without goals people tend to flounder around and really just find that average median or lowest common denominator of life activity – boredom, drug abuse, hanging out.

West Van Drug Prevention

Any community that makes a big deal of important traditions, important roles in the community will be making a positive impression for kids to follow and live up to. Community pride and placing values into good and right acts goes a long way in creating a culture of prevention.

More importantly emphasizing values creates a culture of opportunity where drugs hold the lowest importance and community involvement holds the highest value.

I spent the entire morning and afternoon in Surrey, BC delivering drug prevention education – and I didn’t talk about drugs for more than 1 minute!

The best and most persuasive methods of drug prevention is LIFE and finding something valuable to live for.

Surrey, BC drug prevention activities are not so much about learning about drugs, but about learning about life and ourselves. Goal setting and our emotions are one key aspect of life.

Goals & Emotions in Drug Prevention

Learning about the different emotions in life and how emotions relate to the decisions and actions one takes is drug prevention. That’s how drug prevention in Surrey, BC looked today anyway. Kids haven’t really figured out what emotions have to do with their motions or actions in achieving goals. But by helping kids connect the dots, setting goals and finding things that make one happy is an excellent crime and drug deterrent process.

You can contact Narconon Vancouver about drug prevention talks in your school or group today.

Before  Christmas of 2009, 32 year old Brittney Murphy dies in her bedroom. The UK Guardian newspaper reported that ½ dozen prescription pill bottles were found in her room. Some of these prescription pills were highly addictive; only to be taken in extreme circumstances; risky.

Prescription pills have become the major source of hidden drug addiction. The drug pushers are no longer shady people with cell phones, expensive jewelry and more contacts than network marketers.

Many unsuspecting people are becoming hooked by the drugs given to them from their medical doctor.

Brittney Murphy was one such pharmaceutical death victim.

I took an excerpt out of the Guardian article of December 27^th:

“Of course, there is always going to be a subset of people who want to experiment with substances,” said Dr. Pirmohamed, Professor of Clinical Pharmacology at Liverpool University. “There are also individuals who want to take risks. This is not the case with many of those addicted to painkillers and other prescription drugs, however. Many of these people simply do not realize that all drugs – no matter how beneficial – are poisonous at some level.

“That is the real key for dealing with this issue. We need to educate people to the dangers of all the medicines we consume.”

This statement, that all drugs are poisonous at some level has been echoed by many health professionals, MDs and educators. Narconon Vancouver has been warning families and parents that the real dangers of drug abuse and addiction may be sitting in your medicine cabinet, coming from you pharmacist and prescribed by someone’s doctor.

Narconon’s drug education programs have been telling kids that “All drugs are essentially poisons. It’s the amount taken the determines the effect.”

Often times, people need to die before any real notice is taken. I find this condition a sign of the times: only death is real. Degradation is also real; slow death begins with slight or great reductions of awareness, consciousness and / or perception of the real world.

Pay attention to indications when people are pulling back from life, or are pulling back from the truth.

Drugs only mask or alter the filter that we view reality with. Drugs never change life. Drugs only alter and worsen our abilities to face and handle living.

Tibor A. Palatinus, Narconon Vancouver

How is doing any of those things a problem?

In a fantasy world with no responsibilities, no future to create or no consequences for inaction it wouldn’t matter what a person does to their own body. Besides, we are guaranteed by Constitutions and Bills of Rights to consume what we will.

It’s only our lives we are affecting, right? Factually, there in lies the problem. Who and what does drug abuse or drug use affect?

What are drugs?

Drugs should be defined to include pharmaceuticals such as psychotropic drugs, alcohol, tobacco products, all street drugs, even caffeine is being abused as a drug.

Why People Abuse Drugs

When a person finds no know way of alleviating unwanted pain, emotion or sensation, in a culture such as ours they will eventually find that drugs (alcohol included) will alleviate those symptoms. The current culture is providing availability of drugs to every person young, old, pregnant, crazy or sane. There are even drugs designed for babies.

Most medical doctors did not create this aberration of science. What was missing was a commonly practiced and understood and workable psychotherapy or way of alleviating the stresses of living. When no working practice exists, drugs will be abused and addiction will inevitably result.

Are You a Pharmaceutical Customer or a Patient?

The odd and even surprising fact is that most drug use, a great majority of drug use has no honest and factual diagnosis for determining the need or prescription of drugs. Ask your doctor sometime for the medical test which verifies any particular condition you may have been Rx drugs for. He or she won’t be able to give over any test for their existence. Doctors recommendations are being underwritten by drug companies insurance and even medical schools and colleges are paid for and run by pharmaceutical company programs.

Traditional Medical practice has been substituted and even sabotaged by a side tracked medical system operating out of the early 20th century on theories unsubstantiated by proper science. Instead medicine is playing servant to an empire of witch doctors licensing big pharmaceutical companies to invent pills for diseases that don’t exist.

Is Using Drugs A Problem?

With socialized medicine and health care, when one abuses drugs or alcohol they will become a burden on society. The obvious conditions people see every day:

• car accidents involving drugs / alcohol resulting in innocent deaths, cripples, broken families, ruined lives
• marital break ups breaking up families
• crime and damage to property just for ‘fun’ or spite or robbery
• hospital and emergency workers in some hospitals see mostly people who’ve abused drugs and alcohol, now sick, damaged, overdosed or chronically ill

In a socialized medical system, what happens to people with legitimate health conditions? Most of the money on health care is going to those who’ve first abused their own health through drug abuse.

Social Problems with Drug Abuse

Again, setting aside the obvious social decay that follows drug abuse in any sector of society, what happens to a society with rampant drug abuse?

Societal decay comes in many forms, but is most notable when measuring it’s absence of participation in societal activity.

Free and democratic societies, to run effectively require people, it’s citizens to participate in society. Aggressive monopolistic corporations need to held in check, governments need to be reduced in size and kept in check, legal systems must be corrected and made to run fairly, families need to be cared for.

Democratic societies require the participation of it’s citizens to be awake, alert and informed if any society can live at all. A society dumbed down by drugs is not even awake or alert enough to challenge injustice or take overs by weak leaders in government who fold to the pressure of lobbyist’s, financial sway and simply lack of knowledge about the existing scene. That scene that is observed by citizens every day.

Drug Use is a Problem in a Democratic Country

Democracy needs people of free will to steer society in a direction of survival. Wisdom, observance, guidance and even protest helps keep a country or civilization operating effectively. It’s not up to someone else to do it. There are not enough Atlases to stand as lone pillars of the community. It takes an entire country of free people to run a democracy. No one should be allowed to check themselves out of the game early and receive the benefits of the rest of the nations contributions.

Narconon Education

Narconon Vancouver is a registered non-profit society in Vancouver, BC. The main purposes of Narconon Vancouver are to educate people of the dangers of drugs so they no longer take them or chose not to take drugs. Secondly, Narconon Vancouver assists people who wish to get off of street drugs or dangerous psychotropic drugs.

Health, common sense and security are the major focuses of helping people live lives of integrity and honesty. Drug abuse and often recreational drug use leads to or is just a smaller form of escapism at the cost of mental, emotional and physical health.

In BC, Canada the health care system is a burden on the good citizens who pay into it but not so often use. Instead, individuals who chose to fool around with personal drug experimentation will be ruining their mental, emotional and physical well being. They will make themselves sick with drugs. Thereby, the health care system is unjustly taxed by irresponsible and careless drug abusers who seem to have only their concerns in mind when they smoke, snort, drink or pop themselves into oblivion.

Drug abuse is a social problem, it’s a political problem, it’s a damaging health concern. All of these factors need to be brought into the mix when sorting out solutions to drug abuse.

Primary Drug Prevention #1

Narconon Vancouver Prevention education which intervenes before drug abuse begins is the sanest and most economical method of combating a fight against stupidity and greed for personal profit. Drug abuse disconnects people from their societal responsibilities – that first responsibility is to demonstrate and set a good example for others.

Insist upon healthy actions and choices by first living them yourself. Then you’ll be able to speak with conviction when you tell someone abusing drugs, that they are ruining their own health and also taxing an over taxed health / disease care system in BC, Canada.

Psychotropic drugs are pharmaceutical drugs that alter the mind and brain function, sometimes long-term and irreversibly. That means brain damage. More often the drugs wild and disconcerting effects seek to warn the person taking the psychotropics that something is very wrong. Many will see their doctor who gives them more drugs to cover up the undesirable effects produced by the psychotropic, thereby covering up the symptoms or danger signals.

Safety Means Knowing Psychotropic Effects First

All drugs have effects. Side effects are a polite way of saying the drugs ‘unintended, but actual effects’. Just because these mind altering drugs are prescribed by an MD or Psych, or worse gotten from a street dealer, won’t make a drug safe.

Codeine, T3s, Demerol, Morphine, Oxy, etc all have the effect of depressing cardiac and other functions. Slowing and stopping breathing brings about death; slowing metabolism creates depression. I hope that doesn’t sound safe to you.

Psychotropic Addiction

More people are beginning to go to detox and rehab for pharmaceutical or psychotropic drug addiction and dependency than traditional drugs of abuse like cocaine and heroin.

Going to traditional detox and rehab centers or an MD’s office can be like an invitation to psychotropic drug dependency. Xanax, Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, Klonopine and a host of other pharmaceuticals have become the ‘norm’ for doctors who are trying to dole out quick fixes to rushed clients / patients.

Demands to just get me back on my feet and functioning are met with psychotropic drug prescriptions which lead to greater problems than you could ever have predicted or imagined.

Read The Pharmaceutical Drug Insert First

Every pharmaceutical has about 3 pages of effects which are printed out in fine print. These should be included in prescriptions you are given. Every drug has effects that you don’t want. But don’t simply believe me like you would your doctor, find out for yourself – read the drug insert connected with the psychotropic your getting for yourself or another is taking. Those effects are the effects of the drug.

What is more disconcerting are the contraindications. If you or anther are combining pharmaceuticals with street drugs, alcohol or even cigarettes an entirely new set of effects can be brought about.

Effects of Some Anti-Psychotics

Rapid heart beat, seizures, diabetes, severe headaches, massive weight gain, etc are some anti-depressants effects in particular and induced all by themselves. Anti-psychotics are even more damaging. Zyprexa, Risperdal, Seroquel are all anti-psychotics which produce seriously bad effects. Don’t brush off these effects because you got them from your doctor.

Who Is Really Abusing Psychotropics?

The patient or person going to rehab sometimes has no clue what they are getting into when they go onto psychotropic drugs. No warning, no informed consent by the medical practitioner. Psychs and MDs are abusing psychotropic drugs by carelessly prescribing those to their patients.

People who are attempting to escape life, go on a mind trip or forget purposely fake symptoms or create symptoms, to ensure doctors will prescribe mind altering psychotropics to produce these drug induced states. The patient is then abusing psychotropics.
