Narconon Drug Rehabilitation

Forty years after it was initially established, the Narconon program has evolved into a planetary force that helps to stop substance abuse in its tracks. Narconon is secular in nature, meaning that people come to the program and leave the program with a great variety of religious beliefs, but when they leave, they're clean. Narconon is a comprehensive program designed to overcome the disability of addiction by restoring the natural abilities of the addicted person.

Unlike other drug rehab programs, the Narconon program doesn't consider drug addiction as a "disease." That is why Narconon is such an effective alternative to 12 step treatment centers. Our program success rate is over 70%. That is very higher than ordinary drug rehab centers. Many addicts will not respond to traditional treatment but will easily get clean and drug-free at Narconon, since we do not follow the traditional 12 step model of recovery. Narconon offers a permanent solution for the drug addict and their loved ones, free from substitute drugs as well as non-optimum lifestyles. Narconon offers a drug-free approach to treatment that works and helps a person leave drugs and the associated life style behind.

The Narconon program, first established in 1966, was unique forty years ago and still is today. It is a proven get off and stay off drugs program. The key to the successes of the Narconon program is the Drug Rehabilitation Technology it uses, which was developed by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. This methodology has been used successfully by hundreds of thousands of people around the world to rid themselves of the need for drugs and regain control of their lives. The Narconon drug rehab program, unlike more traditional treatment, deals with both the physical and mental problems brought about by drug use. The end result is a success rate that is 3 to 4 times that of other programs. Furthermore, none of these solutions involves the use of any drug.

When a person drinks or uses drugs over a period of time, the body becomes unable to completely eliminate them all. Although undetected in blood and urine after more or less 3 days, certain quantities do remain in the body. It has been shown that drugs and alcohol are broken down in the liver, but these drug residues remain for years in the body's fatty tissues. The tissues that are high in fats are turned over very slowly. However, when they are turned over, the stored drug metabolites (the substances the body converts the drugs or alcohol into) are released into the blood stream once more and reactivate the same brain centers as if the person actually took the drug again. The former drug addict now experiences a drug restimulation (or “flashback”) and drug craving. This is common in the months after a drug addict quits and can continue to occur for years, even decades.
