A DENT IN UNDERAGE DRINKING
Recently a restaurant in Georgia lost its liquor license because it had been serving minors. Pictures of the minors drinking were on My Space and the restaurant got caught.
If the owners of the restaurants understood how underage drinking can ruin lives, they would have stopped selling to these minors. (Unless they are sadistic).
The statistics for heavy underage drinkers are not good. They are more likely to drop out of school and have low end jobs. Their lives just don’t turn out well.
American kids start abusing alcohol at an earlier age than their European counterparts and there is a reason. That reason is the adults.
If enough adults just say NO to participating in underage drinking the statistics will reverse.
Narconon provides drug prevention.
We also have affordable drug rehab. 877-413-3073

Attitude Adjustment
SUCCESS FROM A NARCONON STUDENT
This is really the week of successes! Here again today is another success story from a Narconon student who is in drug treatment. No matter what is going on, I know that I can arrive to Narconon and hear the wins from the students who are turning their lives around.
“I’ve just realized the amazing attitude change in me towards females. When I first came in here I hated every girl that came in my path, but over this period of time here there has been a drastic change in my mentality and I have now made a few friendships that I hold close to my heart. My stubborn ways subsided and the opportunities of growth prospered.
I am also aware now that my family loves me for me and by seeing me go through thick and thin they ignored me while I was using and backed off so they wouldn’t get to know the me I was while using. They have watched me change now and our relationships can flourish.”
Sadly, quite often, addiction ruins relationships. But any relationship can be repaired, using the right tools.
Narconon is the New Life Program and it can help mend broken lives with no thought to the past, only a wonderful future.

Obligations
NARCONON SUCCESS
Today many students are reporting success and here is another one. Regardless of what is going on in the world with the economy and the stress of the holiday season coming on, we always have joy to report from Narconon of Georgia.
“Dealing with my father situation again, I thought it was going to be hard. I’ve come to terms with it. I have realized that I have the willingness to change myself to make a situation feasible so I can make the best out of it and add wisdom to my life. Since part one of the course, I have noticed I am very good at starting something in my life and I’m willing to change more than ever before.
While I was using, I would make obligations but change and never fulfill them. That’s not the case anymore. I’ve also always been a functioning addict and no matter what I did, I did it well. My job became a huge increasing factor to my drug use and I couldn’t’ force myself to quit, even though I knew it was not OK for me. It was like I was attached. I was forced to quit. When I came to rehab and it was the best change ever and I see that now and I won’t ever put myself in that situation again.”
These are the kinds of wins that anyone can have at Narconon of Georgia. Methamphetamine, ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, heroin or other drugs – the help is here at the New Life program. 877-413-3073

Baby Steps
Success Story from a Narconon Student
Today I had the privilege of having someone present this success story.
“During my using years the changes in my life were not okay, they were negative. Now that I’ve found a good change I can stop my addiction and maintain sobriety. I see that during my using years I often jumped too far ahead, gave myself too steep of a gradient or jumped to conclusions. I never stepped back and dealt with things or tried to fix what I was losing grasp of. Because of this, I lost everything. I also see that I always thought my life was full of these huge problems. Instead of changing these issues or elements in my life they started and I never changed them. Because of this I had no control- there was not a start, change or stop so everything slowly but surely slipped away. Seeing the different sized objects I see now that no matter how big the problems in my life were, I solved them the same; I used. I never changed anything because I just didn’t care
Baby steps are what works for me changing the elements in my life, little by little the tons of small problems can be solved and a big picture can be clear. I’ve learned that it’s important to do this because otherwise I’ll always think of my addiction.
Since starting this course my awareness to the fact change is important and okay and necessary to grow.
I see how important it is to my addiction so no that I maintain sobriety I can change the factors that were not okay and I’ll be able to accept the change.”

Rehab vs. Incarceration
REHAB VERSUS INCARCERATION
This recent study confirms what those of us who have worked in rehab already knew – Rehab does make a difference and is a viable alternative to incarceration. It is a better alternative for the addict, family and society.
Drug addicts already have a lowered sense of self esteem. Their addiction has driven them to do things that they would not ordinarily do and they feel ashamed. Jail just confirms what they are already starting to believe – that they are no good and there is no hope.
Drug treatment, on the other hand and at the very least, provides a caring atmosphere from which a person can get clean and examine who they really are. Upon examination, most individuals learn that they are basically good people who simply took a wrong turn. From this viewpoint it is easy to decide to learn from rehab and take a new direction in life.
Locking someone up confirms that notion that one is no good. It is not wonder that crime rates are higher when drug addicts are locked up.
Narconon is a good alternative to incarceration and in fact, this Narconon was started as an alternative to incarceration. The first 20 Narconon of Georgia clients came directly from jail as part of a pilot to determine the feasibility of rehab vs. incarceration.
Whether it is crack cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana oxycontin or any other drug, the results are the same. Most people can either be fully rehabilitated from addiction or they can be pushed further into the mud and their lives totally ruined.
It is up to us to say which that will be.

Family relationships
Here is a success story from a Narconon student today: I have had another day of getting to witness great wins from our students.
NARCONON STUDENT SUCCESS STORY
“I started to come out of my shell a bit and not let people run over me. On this course I am learning to use my judgment, just as I am going to have to filter things in life and decide which things to stop or not.
I thought about my mom while doing this. I tried to be upbeat and reassure her that everything was going okay for me and then I realized that it is not about me – it is about her.
I realized that I can shift away from this and it is my decision whether or not I am going to let her actions affect me. I can also separate myself from her actions which are not helpful to me.”
Often family relations become strained because of addiction and sometimes it is strained family relations that contribute to addiction.
Regardless of which it is, family is always involved in addiction. The Narconon program helps addicts take responsibility for their family as well as themselves.
The Narconon program involves all facets of life in treatment.

Parents Beware
PARENTS TAKE ACTION
Who would have thought that we would ever see the day that parents would feel the need to hire police dogs to see if their kids have drugs. It seems far-fetched, but it is happening and the reasons are easily understood.
Drug tests can be fooled which can be extremely dangerous. A parent may be content thinking that their teen is not taking drugs, when the actual fact is that the teen is faking the test results. There was a recent report of an overdose when a family thought their son had stopped using opiates because he had a clean drug test. The truth was that he was cheating the test and overdosed and died. He had been using drugs in their presence, but they were looking at the tests, not him.
Additionally, with all the peer pressure and MTV, it is almost impossible for a teen to escape the opportunity to use drugs. Some of them may simply be using drugs because their friends are and inadvertently become addicted through the social drug use. Then the real problems for the family of theft, possible jail time and death begin. A police dog might be a welcome relief – a good excuse to tell the friends why drugs cannot be around.
Another solution is for parents to learn the signs of abuse of the major drugs – methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, and opiates. They all have their own signs and one can tell by observing if they are in the midst of a drug abuser.
However they do it parents have to know if their child is on drugs. Failing to find out can be fatal.
Narconon will provide free brochures to families who want to know the signs of drug abuse. We also provide effective drug treatment – 76% success rate.

Change
OBJECTIVES SUCCESS FROM A NARCONON STUDENT
I realized today that when things change a whole new aspect is added to you life – brightness is brought in. Change is good and the ability to stop is good because it shows progress in life and overcoming the uncomfortable and misunderstood rather than hiding it with drugs. This course makes me realize a log about my life and the things that fell apart. My addiction is a prime example. I started using, changed my addiction to heavy drugs and never could stop and it buried the opportunities because my addiction had no control. I then became blurry minded and couldn’t change.
The difference now is that I’m aware of my addiction and I’m making a change to open the opportunities that my life has waiting for me- the ones that addiction did not let me see.

Jason Lawing
GRADUATE SUCCESS
As the holiday season nears and we are approaching a new year, we reflect on some accomplishments of our graduates in 2008. Jason Lawing is a good example of what Narconon staff would want for all families who are affected by addiction.
2009 can be the very best year of your life.
Special Edition: Jason
ASHEVILLE Citzen Times -
Jason Lawing looks at a picture of himself and his 2-year-old son, Jaden, a few months after Jaden was born. Jason Lawing's pupils are completely dilated above dark circles, and his skin clings against his jaw. He was two hours late to pose for the picture, he recalled, and high on cocaine.
No longer. Lawing, 28, celebrated his two-year-anniversary of being drug-free May 25, a success he credits to spending four months at Narconon in Georgia . The nontraditional treatment center encourages addicts to stay for a much longer recovery period than is typical in Western North Carolina .
Lawing's recovery has brought the rewards of a stable life. He now works at Allied Wheel and Alignment in West Asheville with his father, and the courts awarded him full custody of Jaden in January, choosing him over his ex-girlfriend.
It's important to Lawing that his son is brought up by a drug-free parent.
"I know what it's like," he said. "I've been around people that have kids that are drug addicts. If you had a child, how would you feel if every Tom, Dick and Harry came beating on your door at 3 a.m. because they needed another hit?"
Father and son now live close to Jason's parents, Bruce and Nancy Lawing, who baby-sit Jaden when his dad is at work.
Nancy Lawing started her son on the road to recovery when she went to the courthouse during a hearing that would decide whether Jason, having unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and obtaining property by false pretense, was released or held in prison.
"I told the judge that Jason was not a criminal but a drug addict and needed help," said Nancy, who works at UNC Asheville Copy Center . She wanted to get her son out of the area and into a residential program longer than those she found offered by the state. She went online and found Narconon, which treats patients for an average of 150 days.
Most programs shorter
The state-operated Julian F. Keith Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Center in Black Mountain treats people for an average of 18-20 days, according to director Doug Baker.
That's long enough for some people, he said, but it's only a fraction of the lifelong commitment to recovery necessary to stay clean.
"You can't dismiss what we do here based on someone's particular needs or experience," Baker said. "Addiction is chronic relapsing disease, you don't come in and get a cure and then go out and you're fine."
The center is now extending its facilities, Baker said, adding 30 beds to the detox unit.
"Jason had known people that had been through (a local) program, and it was a big joke," Bruce Lawing said. "It was a month off of drugs and three free meals ... . It takes time and understanding to make someone quit."
Added Nancy Lawing, "They told us that we could go to jail if we took (Jason) out of Buncombe County , but Buncombe County only has a 28-day (residential) program. We found out that once we got him to Narconon they wouldn't be able to do anything to him because he was under a doctor's care."
Multifaceted program
Jason Lawing agreed to go to Georgia as long as he could have one last week in Asheville . He "smoked so much crack in that week, it wasn't even funny," he said, but at the end of the week he boarded the plane and headed to Narconon.
For the next four months, Lawing went through an extensive program, complete with saunas, exercise, group therapy and a life plan to prepare him for reintegration into life outside the program.
"The first part of our program is a sauna/exercise program where we cleanse the person of the drug metabolites that have been stored in the fatty issue," said Mary Rieser, founder and director of Narconon of Georgia. "After this step, the person starts clean. We recognize that not only is drug addiction social and psychological, it is physical."
Lawing said the four weeks in the detox regimen were "the meat and potatoes" of the program.
Intensive supervision was also important, he said. "I had extensive probation, where I was checked in with every night, for six months. Then I had supervised probation for two years (where he was randomly drug tested each month), which really helped when I would run into people I had known from the past who wanted me to do drugs with them," he said.
Lawing started doing drugs in the sixth grade, popping pills and smoking pot, while his parents thought he was at friends' houses. He eventually ended up making and selling 1-2 kilos of methamphetamine a week.
He even asked his parents for a surveillance system for Christmas.
"We bought him a surveillance system; we thought he was doing it to be safe," Bruce Lawing said. "Boy were we were dumb."
He continued, "We laugh about it now because we went through it. It was the meanest, the sorriest and the worst I've ever felt about anyone in my lifetime. My daddy was a drug addict, but when you find someone like your own child (is addicted), you don't know how much it hurts."
We help addicts everyday create a new life by helping them get past their cravings (which can still occur after withdrawal) with our Narconon New Life Detoxifcation Program (Sauna Exercise Program). After one has a clear head, it is easier to learn those basic life skills that help one stay clean.
WE ARE THE NEW LIFE PROGRAM.

“It now bothers me to see others hurt. When I was using I honestly didn’t care how others hurt or felt because I felt like I got rid of my hurts by using so they could too. Wow that is a horrible way to think, but it is a true realization of the way my mind used to process things.
My mom even made a comment when I saw her recently when I was talking about everything I was going to have when I graduate and come home. She smiled and said something like she knows I can have whatever I want now and especially the relationship with my kids. I asked her what she meant and she said that “I see that you are I love with your children.” It gave me chills all over my body and it even gives me chills to write it down right now.
I now have this unconditional love between my children and myself that I did not have before. Mine and their love is reciprocated whereas before I was so caught up in my addiction that I couldn’t love myself much less anyone else. As I talked about in earlier objective, I now appreciate the good qualities that I do have and am grateful for them. I will be able to lobe others because I now love myself. This will enable me to have that relationship.”
Narconon successes like this are why we are here to service YOU and your family.
Whether it is methamphetamine, marijuana, cocaine, heroin or other drugs, we sincerely know we can help you.

Useful things
Success Story from a Narconon student
“Things come to mind that I can have easily because I believe now that things are precious and need to be appreciated. It is now harder for me to throw away things. When I was using I threw away people, my career, my relationships and my dignity. Those are all very precious things that I did not appreciate but now I realize the significance of each of those things in my life and I intend on having them again.
There is a metal rack in the course room that really is serving no purpose. We’ve danced around it for days saying we could have it or we could let it remain in place. Just then I realized that I have not seen it put into use since I’ve been here. It sits there on the shelf taking up space. So now I’ve decided that the metal rack serves no purpose in this room so I can get rid of it. This relates to my life because how I have the tools and abilities to be able to distinguish between things in my life that are useful and positive influences and the things that are not reparable, replaceable or simply not useful.
This will help me further my sobriety throughout the rest of my life because I am no longer walking around with my blinders on and my mind is no longer clouded with junk.”
I get to see wins like this every day. Whether it is cocaine, pot, methamphetamine, oxycontin or other drugs, I am helping others to overcome their addiction.

In Control
NARCONON OBJECTIVES COURSE SUCCESS
“I can control my intentions. My control over my intentions and what outcomes result from whether I follow through or choose not to do something is entirely up to me.
I choose what I do if I intend to do or not do something the control over what I do or don’t do is in my hands.
I also have my right and left straightened out which is something I have never been able to do. Ever since I was little I have always got my right side and my left side mixed up. However, amazingly enough I have distinguished my right and left and hopefully now I can follow directions a little better.”
Heroin, methadone, cocaine, heroin, crack Oxycontin or most drugs of abuse – we can help. 877-413-3073

But now I’m starting to see how I was messing up my life and the reason s why I was doing the things I was doing. My brain is starting to clean up a great deal more than I has ever been since age 21. I am now 49 years old.”

NARCONON success keeps rolling on.....
SUCCESS FROM A NARCONON STUDENT
I realized that the things you want in life, in order to keep them, you have to take care of them and hold on to them so that they won’t go away. Some things are easier to keep from going away than others. There are some things in life that will always be there, but sometimes the things that you want you have to work at keeping.
For example, my family will always be there for me when I’m in need of them. Now, on the other hand, if I want my home to be there or my power to be on, or my car to run, I need to work to pay the bills and take care of my things.
Also, if I want to keep a sober life, I have to hold onto that thought and not let anything deter me so I can keep my sobriety from going away. I need to have control of myself and maintain that control in order to not lose it.
I have the ability and the power to re-establish past relationships I’ve lost due to my life style and regain the trust and start living the life I was living before my drug use.
I have the power to show and prove myself to myself and everyone that I want in my life, by staying sober.
Narconon is the New Life Program. We help with heroin, oxycontin, xanax, marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine. If you know someone with a drinking problem we can help that too. 877-413-3073

NARCONON success!
I feel very confident and very in control For the first time since starting the objectives course I was not distracted and I began to feel very light- sort of weightless. When I feel worried, sad or frustrated, I tend to leave the “present time” and search for memories or other things outside of my present time to make me feel better. For example, I think about my relationship or the concert I am going to next weekend or the outfit I’m going to wear tomorrow. This class helped to put me in a good mood without having to use outside sources. I’m trying to explain it as best I can but I feel great.

NARCONON SUCCESS OF THE WEEK
Here are some excerpts from the week from Narconon students.
“When noticing the sunset reflecting off the fall leaves, which is my favorite season, I saw the beauty in the sunset. For so long, while I used, I never paid attention to the beauty of mother-nature and never appreciated anything. Now that I am seeing these things I see that I didn’t believe in my heart I deserved it. But I do and know that I deserve everything I have wanted.”
“Some of my realizations were funny, some were eye opening and some made me sad and were very hard to handle. I must say that those that were hardest to handle were the ones that helped me the most. I believe in many ways that objectives may have saved my life.”
“I am starting to have power over my own feelings. I’ve had the realization that I am the most important thing in my environment and in control of it through my decisions and emotions.”
“I want to have a clock and a watch. 8 years of using has flown and my life has fallen apart. Now that I am in present time I want to be held accountable and I don’t want to miss out on anymore things that I could have had during those years my using prevented me from having. I want to remember things and enjoy every day.”
“I appreciate my life, the people in it and myself.”

This objective exercise made me realize that I am now capable of filtering the good, bad, positive and negative in my life.

My environment and surroundings will always have obstacles and hurdles and bad seeds. It’s all about choices and decision and I must make the appropriate ones to maintain my sobriety and get the things back I lost, the things I never could have from using and the things I’ve always had.

SUCCESS FROM A NARCONON STUDENT
Here is a success story today from one of our Narconon student, currently on the program.
“When I was using I never noticed the details or what others needed from me and I constantly disobeyed rules and regulations as well as disregarded anything but the drugs. I lost myself and everything I had. Now I see that by following simple rules, having respect for myself and others, being more perceptive and more detail oriented, I can have everything if I simply maintain my sobriety and the success I am making every minute of the day.
When noticing the sunset reflecting off the fall leaves, which is my favorite season, I saw the beauty in the sunset. For so long while I used I never paid attention to the beauty of mother- nature and never appreciated anything. Now that I am seeing these things I see that I didn’t believe in my heart I deserved it. But I do and I see that. I deserve everything I have wanted and want back.”

Red Ribbon Week
We had such a wonderful time at the Red Ribbon Week event. I was so happy to be apart of the excitement and the drug awareness in downtown Atlanta. I have included a video that I shot during the event. It was great!
Remarkable success story from NARCONON
A Narconon Success Story
I have to say out of the time spent here at Narconon I’ve had two life changing experiences. The first was the Sauna program. The sauna for me was phenomenal. However, the objective course far surpassed what I received out of the sauna.
I had some life saving wins and realizations that will forever be remembered and utilized in order to stay clean and healthy. Some of my realizations were funny, some were eye opening and some made me sad and were very hard to handle. I must say that those that were hardest to handle were the ones that helped me the most. These realizations often dealt with my family and friends and more than likely brought up some very touchy subjects. This objectives course was very important to my case because it made me confront the issues in my life which were most important in saving my life. All in all, the objectives course I believe was the most important and helpful thing in this program up to date. In fact I believe in many ways it has quite possibly saved my life.
What I am certain of is that my relationship with my family and friends has never been better. I have never been happier and more focused on what is happening today instead of what has happened yesterday. And for the first time in almost ten years I know I will overcome my addiction and become successful - enough to make my loved ones proud and most of all confident in who I’ve become.

NARCONON detoxification
NARCONON DETOXIFICATION
Many addictive substances can be stored in the fat tissue. Research has established that both pharmaceutical and so-called recreational drugs can remain in the body for extended time. While drugs and their metabolites quickly become undetectable in blood and urine, some as rapidly as 3 days after the last usage, drug metabolites remain stored in fatty tissues for years. These drug residues continue to cause drug cravings and are a factor in relapse. This has led researchers to develop a program aimed at reducing levels of toxins in the body thus assisting recovery.
For example, marijuana can be found in urine up to 77 days after its last use. While cocaine is generally considered to be rapidly metabolized drug, studies of cocaine users show that un-metabolized cocaine is found 5-10 days after the last use of the drug. When fats are mobilized during times of stress or hunger, the drug residues are also mobilized and go into the bloodstream. Cravings are almost impossible to resist – relapse occurs.
Anyone who has used drugs can address this problem with the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program.

Xanax in schools...
NARCONON
Prescription drug abuse happens at school and in some schools the most commonly abused drug is Xanax. According to survey, some kids feel they are addicted to Xanax and were from the first moment they took it. This is not surprising as Xanax is very addictive – in fact a person can become addicted in a few days. The ability to buy Xanax on line and the sale of five dollar pills in the school yard makes addiction all the more likely.
Xanax addiction is dangerous because of the possibility of overdose and the difficulty of withdrawal.
Parents should talk to their kids about the dangers of Xanax. If they suspect addiction, they should call 877-413-3073.

SUCCESS STORY FROM A NARCONON STUDENT
“Today I realized while doing the objectives course that since I began using my life has had many holes and cracks in it due to my actions. I’m ready to deal with them and not hide anymore, because I’m ready for the life I once dreamed of and have the things I want and deserve rather than holding on to bad.
During the objective class I also realized I can have new boundaries in my life. I was hurt when I did not have boundaries before and I let people walk all over me until I was emotionally and physically broken.
I had never put any boundaries up with my little sister who is a problem for me in my life. I also need to put boundaries up with my mother so we can have more of a mother daughter relationship rather than friendship because she always gets hurt which triggers my addiction. The bright colored walls here symbolized a positive change in boundaries so I can have things I wasn’t able to keep when I was using.”
If someone you know is abusing drugs call Narconon for a 76% success rate.

Inflation
IF ONLY THERE WERE INFLATION
Cocaine prices have been going down and the strength is getting stronger – not good news for anyone economically, except the Columbian drug cartel. The more cocaine that is bought, the more expensive it is for us as a nation in terms of health costs, lost production and for some, lost lives.
As a nation we are very concerned about all the American dollars flowing out to other countries for our energy. At least energy is flowing in for our dollars.
When our dollars go to other countries for drugs, our life energy leaves with it.
If someone you know is using cocaine or you find a search “ways to cook crack cocaine”
has been done on your computer, call Narconon. 877-413-3073
We are the new life program.

Meth War
METHAMPHETAMINE WAR
It seemed too good to be true. Most of the local meth labs were being closed down and the sale of ingredients to make methamphetamine were down too. It appeared the methamphetamine was going to disappear as quickly as it appeared on the drug scene in recent years.
Not the case – methamphetamine abusers are now being serviced by Mexican gangs who are moving large amounts through Atlanta Georgia and then throughout other parts of the country. The gangs bring more problems than methamphetamine addiction.
Innocent citizens can drive down streets in Atlanta oblivious to the war is going on right before their very eyes. The soldiers wear construction hard hats and drive white trucks – posing as Mexican construction workers. With so many ambitious Mexicans working at construction, these white trucks carrying methamphetamine are hardly noticed. It probably doesn’t even appear odd when one pulls into a convenience store and unloads some boxes in another truck. However, they are unloading weapons as lethal as any guns used in other kind of wars. The death toll is heavy.
In addition to Mexican meth, there is still plenty locally. Simple ways to make methamphetamines remains one of the biggest search terms on the web for illegal drugs.
Chances are, you know someone who is using methamphetamine. Get them some help quick. The life expectancy for a heavy meth user is about 5 years.
Call Narconon 877-413-3073.

Today is Election Day
ELECTION DAY
All of us in the field of drug and alcohol drug treatment hope that our newly elected officials come to realize that their policies can definitely have an impact on the lives of many when it comes to drug treatment versus incarceration.
However, no matter who is elected, the real drug policy is written at home and is enforced by parents.
Research shows that many kids attend drug infested schools and most are likely to have been exposed to illegal drugs and drinking. Research also finds that kids listen to their parents when it comes to drugs and are less likely to use drugs if they think their parents would object.
The point is, if your kids don’t do ever abuse drugs then whatever national strategy is developed will not involve you or your family.
After all, isn’t there enough government already?
If someone you know has already started abusing drugs, then call Narconon 877-413-3073.

Teenage Drinking
Under Age Drinking
Under age drinking affects many people, but none more than the drinkers themselves. Underage drinkers are more likely to drop out of school, use drugs and engage in unsafe sexual practices. Decisions made at age 15 or 16 can set the stage for a life destined for failure.
It is up to the adults to make the truth available – not alcohol to our youth. Don’t let teens learn the hard way that underage drinking can lead them to a place they really don’t want to go.
Support leaders who discourage alcohol advertising to youth and talk to you kids often about the dangers of drinking. They are getting plenty of communication encouraging them to drink and you will have to be heard over the din. Fortunately, down deep they respect you more than anyone else.
If you know someone with a drinking problem, send them to Narconon – we have a 76% success rate. 877-413-3073

Success Story....
Success Story from a NARCONON Student
While on the objectives course I realized that my sense of perception is much higher sober than when I was on drugs.
My photographic memory has definitely increased. When I was on drugs I thought that my sense of awareness was heightened, when in fact it was the exact opposite.
If you know someone who has lost their perception and is making bad decisions because of drug abuse, call Narconon 877-413-3073

Balance the Budget
Balancing the Budget
Whether it is a family or a nation, drug addiction wastes money. One drug addict can cost a family and a community a million dollars in legal fees, incarceration expenditures, health costs, and income spent on drugs. There are other costs that are not as easy to measure such as lost production of family members due to stress, increase in insurance rates and general productivity loss.
As long as someone is addicted, the costs continue. A drug addict does not care about the economy – only how to get that next fix.
Effective drug rehab is the best investment in terms of money and quality of life.
Whether they are abusing methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana or cocaine, the drug abuser is costing money and is miserable.
Get behind any leader who understands that providing for effective treatment is the best solution for families and the nation.
If you are having difficulty balancing the budget in your household due to drug abuse, make a wise investment in rehab that works.
Narconon has a 76% success rate.

NARCONON Success Story!
NARCONON STUDENT SUCCESS STORY
My intentions upon coming to Narconon were simply to try and get clean so I could get my life in order. I’ve been on drugs of all sorts since I was 12 years old. Honestly, I didn’t know who I was anymore, lost in the haze, if you will. I lost friends, hurt family members, neglected my responsibilities, all because of the drugs I was doing, and the lifestyle. I was living to support my habits. As a result, I did even more drugs to escape my feeling about these things. All the while, even though I knew what was causing my problems, I wouldn’t accept that drugs were to blame. I hated the reality that I let an outside entity change the way I thought.
In the time I’ve spent here, I’ve learned that I really am a better person than I thought. I’ve come to realize that I don’t have to depend on substances to make me feel good about myself. I have rebuilt relationship with both family and friends, established goals for myself, both personal and professional. Through the patience, determination and true heartfelt care of the entire staff of Narconon, I’ve come to realize that the person I used to be was still there.
I don’t hate myself anymore and I could never thank these people enough. They have been there to support me far more than I ever have for myself and taught me how to stand tall again.
