Traditional Alcohol & Drug Treatment Myths

“Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is doing it, and right is right, even if nobody is doing it.” – Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

The Myth; Alcoholism as a Disease

History Of Alcoholism Disease Concept Proves False

The “recovery” community’s adoption of the disease concept began with an early AA member named Marty Mann. Her efforts, combined with a scientist named E.M. Jellinek, began national acceptance of the disease concept. It was Jellinek’s “scientific” study that opened the door for the medical communities’ support. E.M. Jellinek’s study was funded by the efforts of Marty Mann. The surveys he based his conclusions on were from a hand picked group of alcoholics. There were 158 questionnaires handed out and 60 of them were suspiciously not included. His conclusion was based on less than 100 hand picked alcoholics chosen by Marty Mann.

Ms. Mann, had a personal agenda to remove the stigma about the homeless and dirty alcoholic or “bowery drunk” in order to gain financial support from the wealthy. The first step was Jellinek publishing his findings in his book “The Stages of Alcoholism.” In 1956 the American Medical Association (AMA) proclaimed alcoholism an “illness.” Then, in 1966, the AMA proclaimed alcoholism a disease.

Marty Mann used her position as founder of the NCA (National Counsel for Alcoholism) to promote the disease concept through Jellinek and with the founder of the NIAAA (National Institute for Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse) who worked with Marty Mann during the institute’s early development. The founder of NIAAA, a reputable and wealthy philanthropist, R. Brinkley Smithers, was also a major contributor to and promoter of the disease concept. It was his money that funded most of Jellinek’s work at Yale. At that time, Smithers had already launched a treatment program for which he was lobbying for and eventually gained, insurance payments (hence the 28 day program). Acceptance by the medical community was the only way this could happen; alcoholism had to be a medical problem in order for medical insurance to pay for programs. Today, the treatment industry is a multi-billion dollar industry; however it has out-grown the willingness of most plans to cover multiple treatment attendance after a relapse, which is woven in to the standard of the 12-step model including traditional christian drug treatment centers.

Yale Alcoholism Study Retracted — No Proof of Alcoholism As Disease

Subsequently, Jellinek’s study was determined to be flawed according to Yale University. Moreover and apparently at the request of Yale University, Jellinek, himself, retracted all of his conclusions, stopping just short of admitting that his research was fraudulent. Later, the schools where Jellinek claimed to have matriculated had no record of him receiving any degrees. The point is not to malign E.M. Jellinek or Yale University, but to provide a historical account with respect to the origin of “alcoholism, the disease.” Recent studies have begun to recognize that the disease concept in fact perpetuates the abuse.

Crack Cocaine Abuse Facts:

Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug. The powdered, hydrochloride salt form of cocaine can be snorted or dissolved in water and injected. Crack is cocaine that has not been neutralized by an acid to make the hydrochloride salt. This form of cocaine comes in a rock crystal that can be heated and its vapors smoked. The term “crack” refers to the crackling sound heard when it is heated.*

Regardless of how cocaine is used or how frequently, a user can experience acute cardiovascular or cerebrovascular emergencies, such as a heart attack or stroke, which could result in sudden death. Cocaine-related deaths are often a result of cardiac arrest or seizure followed by respiratory arrest.

Crack and Cocaine Health Hazards

Cocaine is a strong central nervous system stimulant that interferes with the reabsorption process of dopamine, a chemical messenger associated with pleasure and movement. The buildup of dopamine causes continuous stimulation of receiving neurons, which is associated with the euphoria commonly reported by cocaine abusers.

How To Tell If Someone Is Using Crack or Cocaine - Physical Signs

Physical effects of cocaine use include constricted blood vessels, dilated pupils, and increased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. The duration of cocaine’s immediate euphoric effects, which include hyperstimulation, reduced fatigue, and mental alertness, depends on the route of administration. The faster the absorption, the more intense the high. On the other hand, the faster the absorption, the shorter the duration of action. The high from snorting may last 15 to 30 minutes, while that from smoking may last 5 to 10 minutes. Increased use can reduce the period of time a user feels high and increases the risk of addiction.

Crack Abuse Signs - Body

• burnt lips
• burnt or discolored tongue
• pocks or break outs on their skin
• always itching
• lung infections
• frequent illness
• heart trouble

Cocaine Abuse Signs - Body

• persistent runny nose, claims it’s ‘allergies’
• nose bleeds
• infections, lung, nose and throat
• heart trouble

Some users of cocaine report feelings of restlessness, irritability, and anxiety. A tolerance to the “high” may develop—many addicts report that they seek but fail to achieve as much pleasure as they did from their first exposure. Some users will increase their doses to intensify and prolong the euphoric effects. While tolerance to the high can occur, users can also become more sensitive to cocaine’s anesthetic and convulsant effects without increasing the dose taken. This increased sensitivity may explain some deaths occurring after apparently low doses of cocaine.

Other Signs Of Crack / Cocaine Use:

Look for the paraphernalia or equipment that crack and cocaine abusers have:

• pipes
• zipo or high heat lighters
• tin foil
• razor blades
• rolled up paper, straws
• lots of sugar / candy

Crack / Cocaine Binging

Use of cocaine in a binge, during which the drug is taken repeatedly and at increasingly high doses, may lead to a state of increasing irritability, restlessness, and paranoia. This can result in a period of full-blown paranoid psychosis, in which the user loses touch with reality and experiences auditory hallucinations.

Other complications associated with cocaine use include disturbances in heart rhythm and heart attacks, chest pain and respiratory failure, strokes, seizures and headaches, and gastrointestinal complications such as abdominal pain and nausea. Because cocaine has a tendency to decrease appetite, many chronic users can become malnourished.

Different means of taking cocaine can produce different adverse effects. Regularly snorting cocaine, for example, can lead to loss of the sense of smell, nosebleeds, problems with swallowing, hoarseness, and a chronically runny nose. Ingesting cocaine can cause severe bowel gangrene due to reduced blood flow. People who inject cocaine can experience severe allergic reactions and, as with all injecting drug users, are at increased risk for contracting HIV and other blood-borne diseases.

Crack / Cocaine and Alcohol

Added Danger: Cocaethylene

When people mix cocaine and alcohol consumption, they are compounding the danger each drug poses and unknowingly forming a complex chemical experiment within their bodies. NIDA-funded researchers have found that the human liver combines cocaine and alcohol and manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, that intensifies cocaine’s euphoric effects, while potentially increasing the risk of sudden death.

Treatment

The widespread abuse of cocaine has stimulated extensive efforts to develop treatment programs for this type of drug abuse.

One of NIDA’s top research priorities is to find a medication to block or greatly reduce the effects of cocaine, to be used as one part of a comprehensive treatment program. NIDA-funded researchers are also looking at medications that help alleviate the severe craving that people in treatment for cocaine addiction often experience. Several medications are currently being investigated for their safety and efficacy in treating cocaine addiction.

In addition to treatment medications, behavioral interventions—particularly cognitive behavioral therapy—can be effective in decreasing drug use by patients in treatment for cocaine abuse. Providing the optimal combination of treatment and services for each individual is critical to successful outcomes.

Important Note: Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab program is a cognitive behavioral therapy plus an entire natural physical detox that removes the built up cocaine toxins in the body. Cocaine body toxins / residues are some of the triggers which prompt crack / cocaine binges and relapse.

Extent of Use

Monitoring the Future (MTF) Survey **
Lifetime,*** annual, and 30-day cocaine use remained stable among all three grades in 2005. Perceived harmfulness of occasional use also remained stable in 2005, measuring at 65.3 percent among 8th-graders, 72.4 percent among 10th-graders, and 60.8 percent among 12th-graders.
Use of Cocaine in Any Form by Students, 2005:
Monitoring the Future Survey

Community Epidemiology Work Group (CEWG)****

Epidemiology: the branch of medical science dealing with the transmission and control of disease

Cocaine-related death mentions in 2003 were particularly high in New York City/Newark, Detroit, Boston, and Baltimore, as measured by one Federal data source. Reports from local medical examiner data named Texas and Philadelphia as sites with the highest rates of cocaine-related deaths from 2003 through 2004.

Primary cocaine treatment admissions in 2004 accounted for 52.5 percent of treatment admissions, excluding alcohol, in Atlanta, 38.9 percent in New Orleans, and approximately 36 percent in Texas and Detroit.

National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)*****
In 2004, 34.2 million Americans aged 12 and over reported lifetime use of cocaine, and 7.8 million reported using crack. About 5.6 million reported annual use of cocaine, and 1.3 million reported using crack. An estimated 2 million Americans reported current use of cocaine, 467,000 of whom reported using crack. There were an estimated 1 million new users of cocaine in 2004 (approximately 2,700 per day), and most were aged 18 or older although the average age of first use was 20.0 years.

The percentage of youth ages 12 to 17 reporting lifetime use of cocaine was 2.4 percent in 2004. Among young adults aged 18 to 25, the rate was 15.2 percent, showing no significant difference from the previous year. However, there was a statistically significant decrease in perceived risk of using cocaine once a month among Americans in the 12 to 17 age bracket in 2004.

Past month crack use was down for 16- or 17-year-olds but up for 21- to 25-year-olds; 21-year-olds also showed increases in past year use of both crack and cocaine.

Past month use of cocaine was down among females aged 12–17 and Asians 12 or older, but up among Blacks aged 18 to 25. There was a decrease in past year cocaine use measured among Asians aged 18 to 25.

Following a decline between 2002 and 2003, NSDUH data show an increase in the number of people receiving treatment for a cocaine use problem during their most recent treatment at a specialty facility, from 276,000 in 2003 to 466,000 in 2004.

*Snorting is the process of inhaling cocaine powder through the nose, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream through the nasal tissues. Injecting is the use of a needle to release the drug directly into the bloodstream; any needle use increases a user’s risk of contracting HIV and other blood-borne infections. Smoking involves inhaling cocaine vapor or smoke into the lungs, where absorption into the bloodstream is as rapid as by injection.

PCP or angel dust can be added to someones weed by powdered form of PCP or more likely by having the marijuana joint dipped into liquid PCP. This combination of PCP + marijuana is called a sherm, amongst other terms. It’s also known as ‘killer weed’, probably for good reason.

I’m getting more and more calls from regular or in-frequent weed smokers who accidently smoked a sherm or killer weed. They each tell me of going through similar manifestations, all characteristic of PCP hallucination or disassociation. The best way to describe the effects of PCP is a living nightmare.

How PCP Affects The Mind

Essentially, PCP triggers the reactive and unaware part of the mind into action, in a similar way that a nightmare acts while one is asleep. The only difference is that the person is ‘awake’ but ’seeing’ the world through this reactive or shadow mind. Unfortunately the PCP user often believes quite throughly that they are seeing things correctly. Sometimes this experience has snapped a person into a temporary psychosis they don’t quickly snap out of.

PCP Disassociation

PCP plunges a person into a very low condition of awareness. The most common trait of disassociation is a sense that the person is separate from himself or life. This condition often results in putting oneself in harms way, self injury, a temporary inability to experience sensation (pain), committing crimes, violence, etc.

If you know of a loved one who is abusing drugs or alcohol and you want to help them get clean and sober, but you’re uncertain of what to do next, then this was made for you. Be prepared for some new and different information about addiction.

We are going to show you how to get an addict or alcoholic toward a moment of clarity so they cooperate in taking action to end their addiction.

You’ll get the most out of this if you treat it as a step by step plan and take the FIRST STEPS of getting a loved one clean and sober. We can’t teach you all about addiction in this video, but we’ll tell you what step 1, step 2, step 3 and step 4 are.

At the end, you’ll know what to do to fully resolve your loved ones drug and alcohol problems.

So let’s start with step 1, which is probably the most critical step of all.

Step 1

You may have observed that your loved one’s emotional state is unstable at best. They get mad easily, they are touchy and very sensitive.

Their 2 favorite saying are “you don’t understand” and “stuff just happens”.

So, it’s very important they feel you understand them. You have their best interest at heart, but you won’t go far with them if you don’t get what addiction is about.

If you were in their shoes, you’d want no less.

So you actually need to understand a drug / alcohol abuser and understand what they’re going through.

In other words, your first step is to understand some simple underlying factors about addiction. Here’s the good news: It’s not rocket science – it’s simple language without psycho babble. Anyone could understand the 7 Steps to overcoming addiction video – especially an addict.

If you do this, you’ll quickly become their confidant and you’ll have that much more influence on them.

And that’s why the first video that we show you in our free membership teaches you about the 7 Steps to overcoming addiction. You’ll save years of confusion and heartache by going to watch it now.

If you’re a member and haven’t watched this video yet, your first step is to go and watch the 7 Steps to overcoming addiction video now. Then, you’ll know enough about addiction to go on to step 2.

If you’re not a member yet, go to detox-narconon.org and subscribe for free. It’s the first video that you see after you subscribe.

Now that you’ve done that,

Step 2

What you are going to do on Step 2 depends on the situation. We are just going to give you 3 different situations. Find the situation which most applies to the scene.

Here are the 3 most common situations that family members face when dealing with someone abusing drugs or alcohol.

In situation #1, your loved one is openly hoping to be helped or assisted in getting clean. If they are open, then go to step 3 of this article, its coming in a minute, and we’ll tell you exactly what to do. Providing them with a complete and positive solution encourages even more cooperation from them. If Poor or no solutions are offered up, addicts are discouraged and may go back to using.

The other situations, 2 and 3, are simple because they use the same solution – easy right?

In situation #2, your loved one SEEMS to be willing to change their drug abusing behavior — usually when they’re facing a problem—and once that problem is resolved, their willingness to stop abusing drugs or alcohol withers away and may seem to disappear.

By a problem we mean, money, a place to stay, food, recent overdose, etc. It could also be guilt, and once you tell them it’s ok, and make them feel comfortable, they may think it’s ok to go on abusing.

In situation #3, they’re just unwilling to change their ways and are generally resistive, argumentative, rebellious and not open.

Both situation #2 and #3 will require an intervention. Interventions are very straight forward to do AFTER the family fully understands how Interventions are CORRECTLY done. A poorly done intervention can aggravate the situation. And that’s why we recorded an interview with a professional interventionist who’s done over 500 interventions.

That intervention interview tells you step-by-step exactly how to do a family style intervention. The interview is available to you in the intervention section of the Drugrehabadvisor.com membership. Go there now if you’re loved one is unwilling to solve their drug or alcohol problem.

Ok, now let’s assume that your loved one is openly willing to talk about their problems and do something about it. This is the optimum situation.

The drug / alcohol abuser may be wasting their lives away up until the time they are speaking to you, they may be in some serious trouble. The truly important fact is that they are hoping to change their lives NOW. They want to change directions and get clean and sober.

Now, you’re ready for.

Step 3

The purpose of step 3 is to help them have a moment of clarity.

If they aren’t high or drunk, you’ll greatly increase your odds of success – then just follow step 3 carefully.

First, Provide a safe / distraction free place for them to talk with you. Ensure they aren’t over distracted, if they are hungry, get a bite to eat or have food available. But don’t EVER give an addict money, as they’ll use it for dope.

Next ASK:

What do you want to be different in your life?

They may say,: I’m sick of my self, I want to change, I want my family back, I just want off drugs, I want to stop being afraid, I don’t want to run anymore, I want to start living a normal life, I want my debts handled – but don’t pay off their debts just yet—

It’s very important that you ACCEPT or acknowledge their answer when they’re finished, don’t argue or challenge their answers. Your attitude should be one of loving concern.

And that’s key, so let me repeat it again. Your attitude should be one of loving concern. Not contentious, annoyed, or angry.

Once you’ve acknowledged their first answer,

ASK

What’s getting in the way of making those changes?

Their answers may be long or short. And this subject may cause them a great deal of discomfort, emotion and stress.

They may start to cry, plead for forgiveness, become fidgety, say I don’t know, etc.

But Finding out what’s getting in the way of making those changes in their life, begins to open the door to resolving their drug or alcohol abuse problem.

Now, They may answer: it’s because my dealer ripped me off, you don’t support me anymore, my girlfriend would leave me.

No matter what answers they give, as long as they truly answer that question according to what is real to them, accept and acknowledge that answer.

Next, ASK

How does drug or alcohol abuse fit into the situation?

You may have to repeat that question again –

What you’re doing is clearly and simply moving them toward moments of greater clarity for themselves, of how they got themselves in this mess they are in. This is for their benefit, but will provide some relief for you to.

The cause of their mess may be obvious to YOU, But not yet to them.

You want them to really see for themselves, what’s ruining their lives.

You may believe you already know what this problem or situation is: that’s not the point of these questions. The point of asking the drug / alcohol abuser how drug and alcohol abuse fits into that situation? is so they see some of the factors contributing to their situation for themselves.

Accept and acknowledge their answer.

Now onto

Step 4

On Step 4, Show your loved one the first video in the Drugrehabadvisor.com membership, called “7 steps to overcoming Addiction”

Drug and alcohol abusers are very savvy about their problems but uninformed about the underlying cause of addiction. They need to be educated before they can make an informed decision to resolve their addiction. The 7 Steps to overcoming addiction video at drugrehabadvisor.com makes sense to addicts, take them there, you’ll be glad you did.

And these are the first 4 steps to helping a loved one get clean.

Body Burden Reductions of PCBs, PBBs and Chlorinated Pesticide Residues in Human Subjects

Ambio, Vol.13, No.5-6, 1984.

Summary: Prior to detoxification, adipose tissue concentrations were determined for seven individuals accidentally exposed to PBBs. The chemicals targeted for analysis included the major congeners of PBBs, PCBs and the residues of common chlorinated insecticides. Of the 16 organohalides examined, 13 were present in lower concentrations following detoxification. Seven of the 3 reductions were statistically significant; reductions ranged from 3.5 to 47.2 percent, with a mean reduction among the 16 chemicals of 21.3 percent (s.d. 17.1 percent). To determine whether reductions reflected movement to other body compartments or actual burden reduction, a post-treatment follow-up sample was taken four months later. Follow-up analysis showed a reduction in all 16 chemicals averaging 42.4 percent (s.d. 17.1 percent) and ranging from 10.1 to 65.9 percent. Ten of the 16 reductions were statistically significant.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Patients Presenting Subclinical Signs and Symptoms of Exposure to Chemicals Which Accumulate in Human Tissue

Proceedings of the National Conference on Hazardous Wastes and Environmental Emergencies, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1985.

Summary: A discussion of some of the problems in attempting to diagnose and treat low-level body burdens of toxic chemicals. A review of 120 patients who were prescribed detoxification treatment as developed by Hubbard to eliminate fat-stored compounds showed improvement in 14 of 15 symptoms associated with several types of chemical exposures.

Support for the Narconon Drug Prevention and Rehabilitation Program

I’ve personally been involved with both the Narconon Drug Prevention and Narconon Drug Rehabilitation Program for 8 years.

I’m an independent licensee and director of Narconon Vancouver Drug Prevention office. I also act as an independent consultant that refers clients to the Narconon Rehab Program as well as other private and public rehabilitation centers throughout Canada.

During this time I’ve spoken to 1,000s of family members who had given up trying to save their adult kids from drug or alcohol addiction using traditional 12 Step or medical models of recovery. I’ve sent 100s to Narconon drug rehab facilities. While 12 Step and the Medical model serve the majority of clients, they do not cure the majority of clients. This means access to effective health care would have been DENIED them if it weren’t for the Narconon Program.

The clients who call me state that the Narconon program has renewed their hope to get their daughter or son back from being lost to addiction. When these same clients call me back to thank me for their sons and daughters back, it makes my work very worthwhile.

I respect the intelligence and bravery it takes for a minister or health officer to allow a new type of program to enter a field like drug detoxification and rehabilitation.

The Narconon Program is unique as it offers a NON-MEDICAL detoxification protocol that is very gentle on the clients looking for help. Many people who have come looking for help off of drugs wanted to be off drugs – the sooner the better. The non-medical Drug-free withdrawal from drugs builds the clients strength and health up as a major way of countering the ravages of drug abuse. Many of these people are very weak due to the effects of drugs on their lives. Nutrients and natural methods assist their re-development and recovery. The Narconon system of recovery would rather build a person’s resilience up so they can recover, rather than compromise it with more drugs.

The Narconon Drug Prevention Program

I have been involved with the Narconon Drug Prevention program for 9 years. I am a certified Drug Prevention Specialist. I’ve personally delivered drug prevention education to 1,000s of kids. I’ve used video programs to indirectly educate kids’ right across Canada on the dangers of drugs.

The Narconon Drug Prevention Education Program meets and exceeds criteria for effective standards in prevention curriculum. Whereas the object in drug prevention education is to delay or completely prevent drug abuse from starting in a young person’s life, this program works.

Narconon uses the latest scientific discoveries about drugs to prevent kids from getting involved with drug use and eventually abuse. As a speaker, I also keep up to date on the most successful methods of communication and delivering this information.

Narconon’s drug prevention program is non-judgmental and non-directive. While it focuses on delivering the truth about drugs and alcohol on the level any person from grade 3 on up to adult can understand, it does not condone or support drug experimentation or drug abuse. Whereas remaining non-judgmental nor supportive of drug use can be a fine line to take, Narconon Drug Prevention Educators are trained to do just that.

I expect the kids and my audience to make up their minds for themselves about drug use. As a persons ability to remain steadfast on their own resolution is far greater than if they try to remain drug-free because they were told to, this style of presentation is favored by audiences who see and hear it.

I look forward to continued success with the Narconon Truth About Drugs presentations in 100s and 1,000s of school rooms across the country. Canadians depend on the success of our program now for a brighter drug-free future.
