Narconon Drug Education and Rehabilitation
Narconon's overall purpose is to eliminate drug addiction and drug abuse. With that end in mind Narconon goes to schools and youth groups and delivers successful drug education, having educated more than three million school aged children on the dangers of drugs and drug abuse. Narconon drug education doesn't just teach kids to say "no" to drugs, but teaches kids the true information concerning drugs so they understand what it is they are saying, "no" to. Saying "no" to drugs is not bad advice and is certainly better than no advice at all. However, by properly telling a child or teen the truth about drugs, there actual effects, and results of taking them in a format they can understand, kids simply don't want to use drugs because they know by doing so they short change themselves.
What Do I Do If My Child Didn't Just Say No?
What do we do if our child missed the above drug education in school and choose to take drugs? Most addicts started on drugs based on some false information concerning drugs. Peer pressure, accompanied with statements such as, "drugs will make you loosen up", "you're a chicken if you don't try it", "lighten up and have some fun", and other similar remarks can weigh heavy on a teen or pre-teen especially when it comes from friends.
No matter how the child or teen started taking drugs, the result can be a nightmare for the teen as well as the parents and even society at large. According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, "Every day, on average, 2,500 teens use prescription drugs to get high for the first time." With this volume of prescription drug abuse alone, it can be said that teens and children are lacking in drug education and a clear understanding of the dangers of abusing prescription drugs. There are also numerous street drugs that teens also abuse.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse states that more teens are in treatment with a primary diagnosis of marijuana dependence than for all other illicit drugs combined.
With this type of massive drug abuse affecting our teenage population, there needs to be an equally and even greater increase in drug education to teens. What, however, does one do with a teenager already fallen into the trap of drug addiction?
How to Handle Drug Addiction
The Narconon program is the solution to drug addiction. Drug addiction is not new. Narconon has been successfully rehabilitating drug addicts for over 44 years. When Narconon first began, heroin, was the "worst" drug of abuse. Since then prescription drugs have come to the forefront. However that may be, the Narconon program was created to handle any substance abuse addiction, no matter the drug of choice. Narconon has a precise series of steps that are done that address all facets of drug addiction. The physical cravings and mental addiction factors are addressed at Narconon.
The Narconon Program
Narconon does not address drug addiction from the viewpoint of a condition that one must forever deal with. Drug addiction is not something someone is born with. Drug addiction evolves through a series of choices that are made. When one is addicted to drugs, there are several mental and physical factors at play. The most real and life threatening to the person is usually their present physical condition. The fear of withdrawal symptoms, accompanied by knowledge that the drugs are damaging their body each time they take more drugs, makes the addict's situation wholly intolerable.
Narconon addresses the addict's situation with a precise series of steps. The addict receives proper medical attention accompanied by proper nutrition to rebuild their body. Gentle physical techniques are used to assist withdrawal and most addicts at Narconon never experience the dreadful withdrawal symptoms they feared.
The New Life Detoxification Program
Once the Narconon student has come through drug withdrawal and done a series of drills designed to assist the addict to get back into communication and raise their awareness of their environment and others, their next step is the New Life Detoxification Program. This program has become world renowned for removing and flushing out harmful toxins and drug residues. The program has been used by 911 rescue workers to flush out the harmful toxins they were exposed to during the World Trade Center disaster cleanup and for years by those with drug histories to flush out drug toxins.
The program consists of proper nutrition, plenty of fluids, exact vitamins and minerals and oils in correct ratios, a period of exercise to increase circulation followed by sweating in a dry sauna each day. The result of doing the program is a cleaner, healthy body, clearer thinking, and for those addicted to drugs, a cessation of physical drug cravings.
Doing the New Life Detoxification program makes it possible for the student of Narconon to now learn and confront the remaining aspects of drug addiction affecting his or her life. The remaining steps of the Narconon program are designed to address the reasons why the person went onto drugs to begin with and provide life skills to prevent the same situations from occurring in the future.
