What Makes Narconon A Good Rehab

Founded in 1964 by a habitual criminal and heroin addict named William Benitez, from the writings and works of humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, the Narconon drug treatment program has been considered controversial in some circles. Whether it is from sensationalized information from the media or special interest groups with their own ideals and protocol for how to treat drug addicts, Narconon has been a program that has received much attention. There is one thing, however that cannot be argued about the non-traditional program; it gets results.

With a closely watched and monitored 76% success rate Narconon is among one of the top drug and alcohol treatment programs in the country. The organization now runs over 150 centers in 50 different countries and is one of the largest non-profit groups in the world in regards to drug treatment. They are one of the facilities that use a biophysical treatment.

So, what is the recipe that makes Narconon a good rehab? Some of the following will explain:

1. The Narconon program is 100% drug free. It does not handle addiction with replacement drugs, nor does it give clients drugs during the detox process. This eliminates the dangerous replacement drug side effects as well as the potential for addiction to these drugs.

2. Narconon uses a process called The New Life Detoxification Program that is used only through their program that removes drug toxins from the body that cause physical cravings. The program is described in full on the but uses specific doses of fast release Niacin or B3, exercise, a specific vitamin and mineral regimen, plenty of water and intermittent sweating in a dry heat sauna. The outcome is drastic reductions in physical drug cravings and a new sense of energy and vigor for life for those formerly addicted.

3. Processes to help get the individual into the present time environment and out of the past drug-using memories call Objectives are used as well as tools to cope using confront, control and communication through drills called Training Routines.

4. The second half of the Narconon program deals with all the underlying issues and problems that lead to the drug use in the first place and the facility uses Life Skills Therapy to allow each individual to specifically address and handle these issues. Clients are able to let go of past misdeeds and make up the damage for the negative effects they have created for themselves and others because of their addictions.
