Narconon® Drug Rehabilitation Results
At Narconon, unlike other programs, we deal with all aspects of drug addiction. We restore the drug addict, both mentally and physically, to the person he was before he began using drugs or alcohol, and then improve his natural abilities.
The end result is a success rate that is three to four times that of other programs. That is why 70% of our graduates still live stable, drug-free lives, years after having completed the Narconon drug rehabilitation program.
Narconon Success Stories
I just wanted to be locked up for a month so I'd be away from alcohol and drugs long enough to think clearly. Narconon gave me much more than that. The drug free detoxification wasn't always easy but definitely cleared my body. The courses may have seemed pointless at first, but as I progressed through the program I noticed how everything would add up at the end. Most importantly, I noticed a change in myself. I spent so long being someone else (a drunk, an addict) that I'd forgotten who I was. It's quite amazing to meet myself again. I know that I'm a creative, intelligent and caring person again. Thanks to all.

I started drinking at 14 years old, and started smoking pot at 15. Then I started cocaine at 17. I was introduced to crack and I became hooked. I soon dropped out of high school and stopped talking to my parents. I really didn't care about life. I was introduced to Narconon and I decided that I definitely needed help. So I agreed to come here. And with the technology that we have here, I have learned so much more than just about staying away from drugs. I've learned patience. After a month here my cravings for all drugs disappeared. I have hope for my future. And I have dreams I hope to accomplish one day. I realize that the world will work with me if I work with it. I'm happy again.
I gained so much from doing the Narconon Program. Among my gains, the biggest is the way I feel about myself. My self-esteem and confidence, which had been practically non-existent for as long as I can remember, have skyrocketed. This has happened through the skills I learned in the program. My ability to give and receive communication with people is much better. I can finally look someone in the eyes and not be uncomfortable. I am more able to recognize what I am doing in my life that is creating difficulties and move out of lower conditions. I am clear-headed and happy. Drugs rarely enter my mind anymore and when they do, it is always with negativity. Basically, I feel better physically, mentally and spiritually than I have ever felt. Thank you.

I've had the finest drug treatment money could buy, it has taught me many things. It has taught me about probation and jails, it has shown me the inside of prison twice, and how it feels to be treated like I was less than human. It has taken me to the funerals of seven of my best friends, where I had the opportunity to witness the pain of a mother who lost a son too soon, a father who will never again hear the sound of his child's voice, and a mother with two sons and no father to help raise them. I have given my parents the intense feeling of anguish at finding their son OD'd in their own home - the list goes on. A major part of my life today is a legacy of pain and remorse, my own and that of those whose lives I have touched.
I first got clean in 1988 and in my first treatment center I was told that one in ten addicts who make it to treatment live. I vowed then to be that one and for the last eleven years I fought a losing battle. It is a miracle that I stand before you today. For those of you who don't know, and are using, let me tell you it is a life and death struggle that you are in. For those of you who have had enough pain, I suggest that you grab a hold of this program with both hands and don't let go until you wring every bit of knowledge and information out of it that you can. It's been said that nothing worthwhile is easy. I have done the hard part already. I have gained certainty that I was going to die or spend my life in prison by trying to use successfully.
I have more stability now than I ever dreamed possible. I am clean. I never imagined actually knowing I wouldn't use drugs again.
I want to talk about the staff. It is hard for me to put into words my gratitude to the staff, how do you thank someone who has saved your life, and not just mine, but has dedicated their lives to helping others to live happy, productive lives? Words are not enough. I will forever spread the word about Narconon and the people who absolutely perform miracles every day.
When I came to the program I had absolutely no motivation. All I did was sit in confusion about all the problems I have created. I still had urges to do more drugs to keep my mind off my problems. The sauna program gave me a truly clean and clear feeling inside and out. The course books were filled with all sorts of information that helped me understand many aspects of my life. I feel smarter, faster and more in control of the rest of my life.

These courses really made me just see how simple correcting a bad situation is, and recognizing it as well. It gives clear easy solutions to problems that in the past would cause me to use drugs, get depressed and run away. This makes me confident in handling problems in the future as well as not being so afraid of them.

News from a Chiropractor
It has always been interesting to me that the concept of drug treatment programs usually had a lot to do with what drug could be used to help someone get off of drugs. It seemed like the drug substitute would be more addictive than the drug someone was trying to get off. I knew that this technology needed to be refined.
In the 20 years I have been in practice, I have had the opportunity to see many people go through drug treatment programs and the results have been very far from stellar. They ranged from being back on the drug within a day from their release to being dead. The amount of pain and suffering associated with this problem is enormous to those around the addicted person, not to mention the person himself. I have seen the pain of a parent, the worry, the total frustration and the feeling of imminent disaster. The apprehension of the phone ringing, just knowing that this will be the phone call they have dreaded for so long.
The drug problem in this country is one, which is engrained in a culture, which takes drugs for everything. The children are indoctrinated in this 'Have a problem, take a drug mentality' from the time that they can communicate. Is it no wonder that when they are jilted by a boy/girl friend or shunned by friend that they would take a drug for the pain.
In the last 10 years I have seen a shift to a much more drug oriented culture. We take drugs to be happy, less happy, not as obsessive, 'mellow', less stressed, less anxious or nervous, to public speak better, to be a better person to be around or to have less PMS. The list grows every day - IT IS FRIGHTENING!
I have one patient who just 'kicked' a twelve-year addiction to 'Medicine' she was prescribed for ' having a hard time dealing with her husband and children'. She told me that she has lost the last 12 years of her life. The pain on her face was indescribable. I knew that drugs were not the answer.
When I first read about Narconon I thought what a novel idea. They are dealing with the 'PERSON', the whole person, from both physical and emotional aspects. As I researched the technology utilized I saw sheer brilliance. And after awhile I saw brilliant results from the program. I have sent several people to their program and they have transformed their lives. They confronted why they had chosen drugs as a solution to their problem and realized that they were able to choose a life without drugs and become productive, purposeful members of society. From what I have seen, this is the only real solution to the drug problem".
