Narconon® of
Our Drug Rehabilitation Program
There
are two prominent schools of thought in the area of addiction today.
One side explains the mechanism of addiction by the action of faulty
genetic coding caused by a hereditary disease. The other tells
us that addicts are a product of their environment and that addiction
is a mental health issue, resolvable by drug therapies and psychiatry.
The problem is the majority of those who undergo modern therapeutic
treatment promptly relapse.
It
appears that clients in most thirty day programs spend 100% of
their time addressing 50% of the problem, yielding mixed results.
Narconon is the first successful treatment center that
breaks free
from the nominal success of most prescribed thirty day and outpatient
modalities of treatment.
With
individualized courses and a unique form of peer therapy Narconon
aims to put our students
in charge of their life and in control of their decisions. The
ability to recognize and overcome barriers, the skills to develop
personal integrity and the knowledge to troubleshoot their own
road through life gives the
Narconon
student a new found sense of life and the staying power to remain
drug and alcohol free.
Drug-Free withdrawal: During
the Drug-Free Withdrawal stage, the addict is supervised 24 hours
a day and is actively participating
in techniques specifically designed to ease withdrawal symptoms.
Nutritional therapy includes vitamins, minerals and amino acids and
healthy food. Therapeutic processes are also incorporated to help
ease the mental and physical pains and get the body’s natural
healing process operating again. Often, addicts coming off heroin
or other drugs with typically tough withdrawal symptoms are amazed
at how good they felt during the drug-free withdrawal stage.
Book
1 – Therapeutic
Training Routines: Drugs
and alcohol severely hinder the addict’s social skills and reasoning
as they have been living in an unreal world. This course is comprised
of drills and other practical steps that enable students to improve
their ability to confront situations in life, to communicate and
to resolve problems through communication.
Book 2 – The Narconon New Life Detoxification
Program: This process helps the client to
sweat out the drug residuals and metabolites stored
in the body’s fatty tissue. The program utilizes
intensive sweating in dry sauna, in combination with
plenty of fluids and nutritional supplementation. This,
as discussed earlier, is absolutely vital in the successful
long-term rehabilitation of the client.
Book
3 – The
Learning Improvement Course: A
course that enables students to overcome barriers to study and improve
their learning skills, comprehension and ability to apply what they
study. Since most of the Narconon Program contains study, this step
is crucial to ensure the remainder of the program material is well
learned. During this step we see clients not only become more competent
as students but also more willing to study and learn.
Book
4 – The
Communication and Perception Course: The
addict or alcoholic tends to life in a world that is not based on
reality. Here, the person’s decisions are based not on logic
or reason but instead are being controlled by drugs and cannot handle
their lives. Here, the client overcomes this through a series of
study and exercises that develop self-control, extroversion and an
ability to maintain control of one’s environment.
Book
5 – The
Ups and Downs in Life Course: The
lifestyle of a drug addict is filled with negative associations and
influences that perpetuate the addict’s use of drugs. This course
enables students to evaluate the characteristics and personal qualities
that make one a constructive or destructive individual. It also provides
methods for handling personal instability brought about by acquaintance
with destructive persons.
Book
6 – The
Personal Values and Integrity Course: To
survive the addict must learn a new way of life. Where they once
depended on lies, thievery and distrust to survive, they must now
make necessary changes in order to stay off drugs. This course teaches
the value of honest and allows one to regain their personal integrity
through an examination of past harmful actions and an acceptance
of responsibility for these, relieving guilt.
Book
7 – The
Changing Conditions in Life Course: This
course teaches how to recognize and improve condition in life to
a more desirable state on a step-by-step basis. Here the addict begins
to repair and improve areas in their life ruined by drugs. The client
learns how to function as a contributing member of a family, group
and society.
Book
8 – The
Way to Happiness Course: A study
of a non-religious moral code accepted the world over as a guide
for proper conduct. This will enable the person recognize his or
her past and present conduct and help evaluate his how to create
a better future.
Aftercare program:
Narconon
offers an extensive aftercare program that requires gradutes to check in twice weekly. Narconon will provide the graduate with guidance and counselling at this rate for the first 6 months, to ensure a smooth transition back into society.
