While many drug rehab statistics are nebulous, Narconon boasts a 76% success rate, based on a two year follow-up. A key to our success is the Narconon New Life Detoxification program. Through the use of a sauna, we provide body detoxification that can help eliminate or reduce cravings. Research has shown that, detoxification from drugs or alcohol should be followed by effective treatment to achieve long-term success. We provide that effective treatment. Our non-12 step approach provides life skills necessary to maintain sobriety and lead a successful life. These life skills will help the addict identify and resolve problems through learned techniques, rather than turn to drugs as they have in the past. For more information on how the Narconon program can help you or a loved one, go to www.drugsno.com or www.alternativesentence.com or call 877-413-3073.

This article below explains why it is difficult for methamphetamine abusers to stop and how they become addicted. The body becomes accustomed to the changes that the methamphetamine makes (i.e. altered dopamine levels). When the person stops using the drug, the body cannot jump start production of dopamine fast enough. The body sends a message that it feels it needs more of the methamphetamine to function and this message is relayed as cravings to the individual.
The body is capable of repairing itself and can eventually get back to the point where it is producing dopamine and other chemicals on its own, but often people feel they cannot wait or live through the period of craving.
The Narconon program or any effective drug treatment program can help with this process.

See the article below:
University of Washington researchers say that animal studies show that methamphetamine use causes lasting changes in the brain's dopamine system, making it especially difficult for users to stop using the drug.
HealthDay News reported April 9 that researcher Nigel Bamford and colleagues found that long-term methamphetamine use depressed the synaptic dopamine-release system in the corticostriatal area of the brain -- a condition that gets temporarily reversed when a dose of methamphetamine is administered.
Researchers said that methamphetamine appears to cause long-term changes in certain dopamine receptors and with the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The findings "might provide a synaptic basis that underlies addiction and habit learning and their long-term maintenance," Bamford and colleagues wrote.
The findings were published in the April 10, 2008 issue of the journal Neuron.
