Program Description

The Narconon^® program deals with both the physical and mental problems brought about by drug use. We restore the addict, both mentally and physically, to the person he was before he began using drugs or alcohol. The end result is a 70 to 80 percent success rate.

While drugs and their metabolites quickly become undetectable in blood and urine, some as rapidly as 3 days after last usage, drug metabolites remain stored in fatty tissues for years. The discovery of these accumulated drug residues which continue to cause drug cravings, led to development of the New Life Sauna Program. This program utilizes a combination of exercise, sweating in a low heat sauna and nutritional supplements to produce the following results:

Reduction or elimination of drug and alcohol cravings.

Reduction or elimination of many symptoms associated with drug addiction and alcoholism. These can include depression, irritability, and fatigue.

Ability to think more clearly.

Improved memory and attention span.

Increased energy.

Increased sense of well being.

Enthusiasm toward life.

The Narconon Program deals with all aspects of addiction. We restore the addict both mentally and physically. A graduate of the Narconon program has recovered and will continue to stay clean and do well in life if he uses the tools he has learned and practiced while on the Narconon program.

The first Narconon was started in 1966 inside Arizona State Prison by an inmate and former heroin addict named William Benitez. Mr. Benitez had been addicted to hard narcotics since the age of 15. He decided to start Narconon after utilizing techniques from a self-help book titled Fundamentals of Thought by L.Ron Hubbard. The focus of the Narconon program both then and now was on overcoming addiction by increasing abilities.

THE PREMISE OF THE NARCONON MODEL IS THAT THE FORMER ADDICT CAN ACHIEVE A NEW LIFE.
