Prevention Watch

Intravenous drug abuse has increased over the last decade and as many as 3 million people might be HIV positive world wide.

In the United States approximately 15% of the IV users are HIV positive. While this information might appear to be irrelevant to most Americans, who have a lot to think about right now, if one has teenagers in the house, it is time to have a family talk.

Over the last decade heroin has crept into new neighborhoods and has tapped younger people on the shoulder with its allure, apparently without proper warning. Without effective drug education, not only is overdose a possibility for a young user, but so is an infected needle.

Once a person has HIV they have it for a lifetime. HIV compromises life style, general health and finance.

With proper drug education and prevention measures HIV can be prevented.

Talk to your kids.

Alcohol

Someone needs to get the message across to kids that a life with alcohol can become a life that is really no fun. While there is no lack of communication about the virtues of alcohol, including the example set by adults, there is a dearth of information that contradicts the extolled virtues of drinking.

Even the reasoning voice of a parent can be droned out by magazine ads and television promoting the youthfulness and fun of alcohol. No one in these ads looks the least bit compromised by the alcohol – in fact it appears alcohol makes them gorgeous and confident. No one is stumbling about.

We need a third party communication that kids will accept that teaches them the real dangers of alcohol.

Narconon drug education is that. It is interactive and kids like it. They learn through communication, not being lectured at.

Call us if you need more information.

If someone you know got the message too late and has a drinking problem, call us at 877-413-3073. We are the New Life Program and we have a 76% success rate.

Monday at NARCONON

My Monday at NARCONON..It started out very well which for a Monday morning in Atlanta it's a good thing. Traffic wasn't bad at all and I actually got to work early. WOOHOOO! I came in and started working on all my work at NARCONON to get my week started off right. The students started coming in and they were really happy and go lucky for a Monday morning! I realized we had 5 more new students here at NARCONON which is always a good sign. It means that we are really on track to help people with their addictions. It makes me feel good knowing that they will succeed and join their families in a few months clean and sober! After all the introductions I proceeded through my day. We are going to have 1 graduation this week here at NARCONON and I am thrilled! I will definetely blog about that one this week. I got home at 7:15pm last night and had a great night with my kids and my husband. We watched wrestling (our Monday night thing as a family, I know redneck :-) ) I went to bed about 11:15pm and now I am back at work on this beautiful Tuesday morning. I am blessed to be here and today is going to be an awesome day.....

NARCONON Success Story 2

I recently had some great realizations and a few of them have been at home. Most of the time I experience them while laying in bed just before I got to sleep, however the past cognition I had yesterday while in the gym working out.

I realized how out of shape, I’ve let myself become and that I haven’t been in a gym in years and that this is a direct result of doing drugs. You see, many years I was to drugged up or sedated to have energy or care about my physique. I mostly realized that have been robbed of my ambition in all aspects of my life. I have not followed through on a single thing in many years.

I’ve defiantly noticed how easy it is to commit to things now and how ambitious I’ve been lately. My body will now be in better shape and my life can be in better shape too! I’ve been working out everyday and I’m ready to make some long term goals and commitments to improve my life!

My ambitions is back baby!!

This is NARCONON at the Gwinnett Co fair. We personally talked to so many people during the week of the fair we literally couldn't keep count. NARCONON of Georgia really made their presence known this year by making big statement against drugsno.com! We had a pledge that youth signed that they would not do drugs and they got gifts and different things. NARCONON really is spreading the word about addiction and recovery with a whole lot of education to support. We had Gordy and many students that support NARCONON out in the crowd. It was great to see our successes out in the public eye and not ashamed to say "Hey! I was a NARCONON graduate, let me help you!"If you need help or know someone who does, contact us at

Drug Prevention in Communities

Drug Prevention in Drug Free Communities

Investing in drug prevention is worthwhile according to a new report from the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The report says that alcohol and drug use is down in those communities with Drug Free Coalition Funding – in fact, 10 to 23 % lower than the national average.

Though the financial gain to a community and a country cannot probably be accurately assessed at this time, the long term gain is apparent. Fewer drug abusers means less crime, more productivity and fewer health problems.
The Drug Free Communities are made of community leaders, teachers etc and grants are available for those organizations that facilitate citizen participation.
The value of life is improved for individuals and their families and money can be spent on vacations, rather than rehab.



This is probably the most logical and sound investment that any of us have seen in a long time, with a realistic and measurable return on investment. Let’s hope more get involved.

Rehab vs. Incarceration

Alternatives to Incarceration?
The U.S. Sentencing Commission plans to issue a list recommendation on alternatives to incarceration and for some, the notion is not popular.
Given that 44 billion dollars was spent on corrections last year it is no surprise that there would be some objection to attempts to change the system. The U.S. Justice system for one, made the statement through spokesperson, Laura Sweeny "We do not believe the use of alternatives should be expanded without further rigorous research showing their effectiveness in promoting public safety,"
The Criminal Justice Legal Foundation also objected through spokesperson Michael Rushford, president of the crime-victim advocacy.
While no one wants wanton criminals let loose on society, the fact is that unless the two million that are incarcerated now remain in prison for the rest of their lives, they will be out of jail one day and society will have to deal with it
. Without any type of rehabilitation, many will just be more hardened and street smart than when they entered prison and the public will not be any safer For those offenders who are addicts, it simply means time and money wasted that could have been spent rehabilitating the addict into a productive member of society.
Regardless of what any of us think about this, unless Congress rejects the recommendations made by the U.S. Sentencing commission they will become law.
