The Narconon Difference
Narconon has been saving lives by helping even the most hard-core addict overcome their addiction since 1966. There are many drug rehabilitation methods available, however, only Narconon has the success rate of permanent recovery from addiction that is four times that of the international average. There is a difference to the Narconon program and it can save the life of someone struggling with addiction.
On visiting a Narconon center for the first time you will notice a distinct difference. For one thing, the centers don't have the feel of a hospital, even though each residential facility has one or more medical personnel on hand. The facility is completely drug-free and the Narconon program is a drug-free program. It was discovered that there is a non-drug method to withdraw from drugs that makes drug withdrawal as asymptomatic as possible.
The Staff of Narconon
Many Narconon center staff have themselves overcome addiction. The Founder of Narconon, William Benitez, recovered from a life-long heroin addiction with the basics of the Narconon program. This unique attribute about Narconon staff makes it far more possible for the staff to relate to the clients of Narconon. They don't treat clients with some aloof, disconnected viewpoint. Quite the opposite is true. They've been there. They know the road of addiction and they also know that it was the Narconon program, despite some attempting to get clean with many other programs that finally freed them from addiction. The staff are themselves trained in drug addiction and rehabilitation technology. This combination makes a person with the right understanding and balance to help others overcome addiction permanently.
Another key factor about Narconon is the clients of Narconon are not "patients" trying to recover from some incurable disease. They are indeed "students" with something to learn. The steps of the Narconon program provide the missing information that these students never learned in life and these are the points that led to their addiction. Instead of being the unwilling effect of their addiction, the students of Narconon learn the necessary life skills that make it possible for them to be in a causative position in regards to their addiction. By providing the student the skills they need to overcome addiction, they can once and for all leave their addiction behind.
The Narconon Program doesn't just address the student's missing life skills. There are some definite bio-physical factors that play a role in their addiction and these are some of the first things addressed on the Narconon program. In addition to nutritional deficiencies, the drugs taken have polluted the addicts' body making the addict physically crave the drug substance. Mental factors are also at work and the full Life Cycle of Addiction is addressed and handled.
The Reason for Choosing Narconon
The reason to choose a Narconon facility is the effectiveness of the program. Long-term drug addiction is not something that is gotten rid of overnight. It takes a long-term in-patient residential facility program or in the case of a "functioning addict" a long-term outpatient program. A quick 30 days generally does not solve the person's addiction. It is true one can withdraw from drugs in 30 days, but if the toxins left over from drug use are not flushed out of the person's body, the person will feel the effects of these toxins and this will contribute to relapse. The full New Life Detoxification Program will remove these drug toxins from the student's body so they will no longer affect the student. There is also the factor that if the person doesn't ever learn the real mechanics behind becoming addicted and just what he or she did to wind themselves up in that situation, they no doubt will wind up in that same situation again.
Addiction is a combination of factors. The person's life was in some way going awry for them to wind up on drugs in the first place. If these factors are not resolved, the person will not stay clean. On the plus side, with these factors fully resolved, as in the Narconon program, the person not only has the skills to stay off drugs and avoid life's pitfalls in the future, but they also have the skills to start on a new path to a productive drug-free life.
The Solution to Drug Addiction
No doubt there are many ways to approach drug addiction. There are programs priced at all levels including free government run programs. However, when looking for an answer to drug addiction, the truth is, doing another program three of four times and still not remaining clean, does not make it a "cost effective" alternative. In fact, the person reverting to drugs makes him just as much at risk of dying from drug use as before the rehab. The only difference is the person's willingness to try yet another drug rehab program could be even less than before, as the person may be in an apathetic frame of mind about ever becoming clean.
Fortunately, the Narconon program is very reasonably priced program for the quantity of service delivered and many insurance policies are accepted. If a person can go to Narconon for the first time, they most often avoid having to repeatedly go to drug rehab. Narconon long term drug rehabs give the person the tools to dig himself out in life and the student gets experienced in using these tools before he even completes the program. Staff also follow-up with each student after they complete their program to ensure they are doing well and handling the things in life they previously had difficulty with.
