Facts About Narconon


Narconon demonstrates the workability of the drug-free social education model. Their drug rehabilitation does not use more drugs to solve the problem of drug and alcohol abuse. We have found that effective education must be a fundamental component of the rehabilitation process in order for alcohol and other drug abusers to stably recover and live ethical and productive lives.

Workability is the watchword. The key in developing the Narconon program has been what works – not fads, not what is politically correct. What we have looked at from the beginning and still examine routinely is, “Are we returning former addicts to society as stable, productive, ethical, drug-free individuals?”

“There is not often good news in our struggle with the consequences of alcohol and other drug abuse in our society. I am happy to say that the Narconon program is good news. I encourage you to review it carefully and consider utilizing it. Many years ago I did and I have been able to help save many lives as a result.”
