Narconon Ensures Clients Understand Harm In Illegal Acts

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — nneastus @ 6:08 pm

The Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation and education program points out the original Narconon program was first delivered in a prison 44 years ago and most of these clients went on to not only lead drug-free but also crime-free lives. At this time Narconon used effective communication drills to help addicts recover from their addiction.

Today the Narconon program is a more comprehensive program handling both the mental and physical aspects of addiction.

The book The Way to Happiness, written by American author and humanitarian, L. Ron Hubbard , was one book incorporated into the Narconon program. This book represented a milestone in humanitarian efforts as this was the first such book that covered morals solely from the point of view of common sense rather than religious teachings. For example one of the precepts in the book is "Don’t do anything illegal." This is a universal principle, however, the book itself explains clearly why there are laws and why it is important to follow them and the results of not doing so even if one is not found out.

The Narconon program has the clients on their program not only read the entire book, The Way to Happiness, but also they do various written exercises and drills to relate the precepts to their own lives to make it real to the student how the precepts can be applied.

It is common knowledge that crime and drug addiction go hand in hand. On drugs or to obtain drugs, it is quite common for an addict to resort to some illegal act.  The final result of this is loss of personal pride and oftentimes punishment from the courts or state. Knowing this Narconon ensures that the students on the Narconon drug rehab program do discover these principles during Narconon program, which is covered on The Way to Happiness course.

To further bring home the principles of The Way to Happiness to students, Narconon centers have started to implement showing of the newly created full-length movie on DVD of The Way to Happiness. This movie details chapter by chapter the entire Way to Happiness, further increasing the reality of the principles of the book which has already been distributed in 90 languages and to over 70 million people.

By Narconon clients knowing and applying the moral principles they learn from The Way to Happiness, they go on to lead successful productive lives not only drug-free but also free from committing illegal acts.

Drug Rehabilitation Program Has Solution To Effectively Reduce Crime

Filed under: Narconon — Tags: , , , — nneastus @ 11:06 pm

Narconon drug rehab program uses common sense guide to living to help reduce drug-related crime.

Drugs are related to crime in many ways. Both directly; through possession, manufacturing and distributing as well as indirectly through the effects they produce that cause users to commit crimes in the first place. One of the most difficult crimes for the average person to understand is murder. According to the White House Drug Policy 29.4% of federal inmates and 26.8% of state prison inmates were under the influence when they committed murder.

In addition, drug addiction and trafficking have been the source of violent crime for many years. Drugs still remain one of the main factors leading to the rise in the total number of all homicides and account for an average of 15,000 to 20,000 deaths per year.

There is one effective way to stop addiction-related, violent crime including murder and any and all crimes related to substance abuse; effective drug rehab treatment.  Wherever effective treatment programs are put in, they reduce the amount of drug related crimes. One program that has had such success is called Narconon.  Narconon turns addicts around before they get on this path to violent crime and helps to get them fully rehabilitated.

One of the key tools that Narconon uses to help rehabilitate addicts is The Way To Happiness course. During this part of the program Narconon clients gain a common sense guide to living where they learn about things such as “set a good example” and “be worthy of trust.”

The Way To Happiness also teaches addicts a very basic moral precept of, “do not murder” and compares this to the concept "of do not kill" and helps them see how their understanding of these two concepts makes living an ethical life very simple. Clients that complete this part of the Narconon curriculum have a new outlook on life and get onto a moral and ethical road.

Some transgressions, like murder, committed while under the influence of drugs, cannot be undone, but through effective treatment they are being prevented.

The Narconon program has been around since 1966 and was actually founded by a prison inmate named William Benitez. Benitez, who was a heroin addict for most of his life, came upon a book in the prison library by American Author and Humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard called Fundamentals of Thought. Through the technology learned in this book Benitez stopped using drugs permanently and started helping others in the prison to overcome their addictions through a pilot program he ran with some inmates.

Narconon grew and today they operates more than 140 centers in 50 different countries that achieve a more than 70% success rate for permanent recovery from addiction.

White House 2011 Drug Control Budget - A Double Edged Proposition

Filed under: Narconon, addiction, drug education, drug rehabilitation — Tags: , , , — nneastus @ 6:02 pm

The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy has announced its proposed budget for 2011. This budget is a 13.4 % increase over the previous one. More than 15 billion taxpayer dollars will be poured into drug control. Drug control is a necessary evil, however, there is a double edge to it.

Narconon is a non-profit drug prevention, education and rehabilitation organization.  There are over 122 Narconon centers worldwide and Narconon has the highest known success rate in the field of drug rehabilitation.  Their drug education and prevention lectures have been delivered to over 3.5 million school children and a recent outcome study validates the effectiveness of the drug education lectures.

With all this community success and 44 years of experience in the field of working with children and rehabilitating drug addicts, Narconon points out there is a flaw in President Obama’s drug control budget. While the DEA and similar organizations will be funded and have become necessary, the largest drug abuse problem by the White House’s own statistics and Narconon’s own hand’s on experience is abuse of prescription drugs. For example one in ten 12th graders report abusing Vicodin according to the White House.

On the one hand President Obama wants to fund drug control.  On the other hand he wants to set forth the largest health care reform to date making prescription drugs even more available and requiring health screenings.  As the White House states: "The United States spent approximately $2.2 trillion on health care in 2007, or $7,421 per person – nearly twice the average of other developed nations."  At the same time we have rising drug abuse problems with prescription painkillers now being one of the hottest drugs in trade. Not to mention the countless TV and media ads for Americans to "ask your doctor" for a drug as a result of Congress softening drug advertising laws in the U.S.  The message presented is loud and clear, "You are sick and you need a drug".  You’ll note in all the drug ads however, nowhere is there any mention of the word "cure".

On every hand the U.S. has seeped itself in drug culture.  Narconon would like to point out that all drugs are essentially poisons.  On a short term some can be of assistance.  A few are necessary.  However, the vast majority advertised and abused drugs do lead to addiction and all have side effects, some of which include death, which one could hardly label as a "side effect", but the drug companies manage it and still sell the "FDA approved" drug.  With 23 million Americans in need of drug rehabilitation according to the White House Office of Drug Control Policy , the real focus should be on educating Americans on the dangers of drug abuse and how to prevent it.  The U.S. solution of spending more, enforcing more and providing easy drug access to all is a short road to ruin in an already heavily drugged culture. (See the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s Holiday PSA.)

Of the $15.5 billion President Obama wants to spend on drug control less than $150 million will be spent on drug education. Fortunately for America, Narconon offers drug education to all.

Narconon provides the answers to drugs and drug addiction in more ways than one. The name Narconon literally means "no-drug" and with this as a fundamental they provide statistically successful drug education and drug rehabilitation .

If you or someone you know would like to learn the true facts about drugs and drug addiction or would like a drug education lecture in your school or group, contact Narconon at 877-237-3307.

Filed under: Narconon — Tags: , , , , — nneastus @ 8:02 pm

Drug rehab program provides 44 years of successful service to clients.

This past Friday marked the 44 year anniversary of the Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program . The program was started in 1966 in Arizona State Penitentiary by a former drug addict named William Benitez. Benitez, who was looking for a solution to his own drug addiction, came upon a book in the prison library written by American Author and Humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard that helped him to stop using drugs.

Benitez was so impressed with this technology that he started working with inmates and even ran a pilot program behind the walls of the prison. At that time of the 12 people Benitez worked with, 10 stayed off drugs permanently.

From here Benitez corresponded with Mr. Hubbard and worked to open the first Narconon center in Los Angeles. Today, Narconon operates 140 drug rehabilitation and education centers in 50 different countries.

The long-term residential treatment program achieves a more than 70% success rate for permanent sobriety and does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. Narconon has graduated close to 30,000 people from its program since opening their doors.
In addition, Narconon has also been providing drug education services to schools, churches, community groups and prisons and has delivered drug prevention lectures to several million people nationwide.

One of the primary areas of growth for Narconon over the last decade has been in the Eastern United States. Currently, the Narconon program operates drug rehabilitation and education centers in New England, Michigan, Louisiana, Georgia and three centers in Florida and has had many people who have successfully attained drug free lives as a result.

Rehabilitation Program Teaches Addict To Set A Good Example

Filed under: Narconon — Tags: , , , , — nneastus @ 7:18 pm

Vital part of overcome addiction is getting back on a moral road that aids in recovery.

John, a Narconon graduate from 2001 spent many years of his life struggling with a drug addiction that caused him to not be able to set a positive example to himself or others. “I was on drugs for 7 years,” he explains, “and nobody ever explained me to why I shouldn’t have done drugs. I was told not to do drugs as a kid but I never knew why until I did Narconon.”

As a result of this John  nearly lost everything in his life that was important to him until one day he woke up to find his mother in his living room with an ultimatum. “I woke up one day and my mother was there and asked me if I was ready to get better,” says John. “I thought it was more counseling, or more meetings. To my surprise it was the greatest thing that has ever happened in my life. It was called Narconon.”

John enrolled in the Narconon program and handled many of the underlying reasons why he started using drugs in the first place. While at Narconon he also enrolled in a course called The Way To Happiness where he read something that changed his life forever. “There was a part in The Way To Happiness book about setting a good example,” he explains. “It was at that point that I decided I was done with my old life of drugs and I was going to get trained as a drug prevention specialist so I could help others.”

After completing the program, John trained and became a Drug Prevention Specialist for Narconon speaking to community groups, churches, and families about the dangers of addiction. Today John has been off drugs for 7 years and has educated hundreds of thousands of people all throughout the country.

The Narconon program has been using The Way To Happiness as a part of its drug rehabilitation program for decades. The common sense guide to moral living was written in 1981 by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard and has been used in schools, businesses and community groups all over the world with over 70 million copies distributed in 90 languages. Students on the Narconon program study this book and learn moral precepts that have been neglected or altogether omitted in their lives.

“Doing The Way To Happiness Course was a point of change in my life,” says John. “I now know that I can set a good example and help others through youth drug education as well as adult.”

Narconon Teaches Addicts To Live With Truth

Filed under: Narconon — Tags: , , — nneastus @ 12:28 am

Narconon gives addicts a second chance by rehabilitating them from drugs and by including basic moral principles in their curriculum.

Narconon is a non-profit drug rehabilitation and education organization. The Narconon drug rehabilitation program delivered is a multi-faceted proven approach to rehabilitating drug addicts into successful, productive, functioning citizens.  Part of that success is a book included in the program called The Way to Happiness .

The Way to Happiness was written in 1981 by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard and has been implemented in schools, businesses and community groups worldwide with over 70 million copies distributed in 90 languages. Students on the Narconon program study this book and learn moral precepts that have been neglected or altogether omitted in their lives.

One of the precepts is "Seek to Live with the Truth."  Learning this precept and the real reasons behind it are explained in the easily understood text.  The life of a drug addict is anything but truthful.  Lying is chronic for many reasons. Hiding ones addiction from friends and family is usually an initial reason for lying. As addiction takes hold, the fact of physical drug cravings can become so intense that lying appears to become the only answer to obtain more of the drug. This could be lying as to ones whereabouts to family or an employer or lying to cover up stealing or other dishonest acts to acquire the drug.

In this light, seeking to live with the truth may be a whole new concept to some. As one goes through the Narconon program, the student is rehabilitated physically and mentally. When they get to The Way to Happiness step, they are at a point to make a fresh clean start in life. Through other steps on the program the student has gotten a chance to examine and evaluate his own life and behavior and is now given the moral guidelines to succeed in life.

The Narconon program provides a full address to an addict’s lifestyle and in this wise Narconon achieves an over 70% success rate in permanent recovery from drug addiction.  The Way to Happiness is an essential part of that success for it points the way to a bright new future for the former addict.

New Insurance Regulations Make it Easier for Drug Addicts to Get Needed Help

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — nneastus @ 7:09 pm

The Department of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury has implemented new rules that will require private group health insurance plans to offer benefits for treatment of substance abuse disorders comparable to other illnesses.  This will allow for more help to more Americans who suffer from drug addiction to get the needed help from facilities like Narconon.

Narconon manages 6 effective drug rehabilitation facilities in the eastern United States.  These facilities have some of the highest success rates in the nation at over 75% compared to the usual 14% of most other facilities.  Both insurance companies and employers will benefit greatly by their employee who suffers from drug addiction going to one of the State licensed and approved inpatient or outpatient Narconon facilities in the east U.S.

The new insurance rules are expected to be finalized in spring of 2010 and will go into effect for years beginning on or after July 1, 2010.  The rules will prevent group health insurance plans, like the ones offered by employers, from restricting access to care for substance abuse disorders by limiting benefits or requiring the patent to pay higher costs than those that apply for general medical care or surgical benefits.

The bottom line is this opens the door for millions of Americans to get the help they need.  If they choose a Narconon facility they will get the results they seek and employers would be wise to know this as most Narconon graduates continue to live drug free lives after treatment.

The reason the Narconon results are so high and its program is so effective is it addresses both the physical and mental factors connected with addiction.  Its New Life Detoxification program is the only one proven to flush drug metabolites from the addicts’ body and the result is clearer thinking and freedom from drug cravings.  It is these physical drug cravings, which if not overcome lead to repeated drug addiction relapse.

The rest of the Narconon program are precise sets of drills and courses which bring the student more into the present  time and increases their ability to confront their environment as well as pinpoint the reasons they sought drugs to begin with and address those matters as well.

Once free from the underlying reasons they used drugs, Narconon students return to their lives able to live drug free and productive without the urges to use drugs again.

The Narconon program does work with and accept most insurance. If you would like more information on the Narconon program contact Narconon today at 877-237-3307.

Narconon Offers Drug Education Lectures to Schools

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — nneastus @ 7:19 pm

According to the White House Office of Drug Control Policy , there is an increase among teens of prescription drug abuse as well as a lessening of disapproval (increased acceptance) towards marijuana among tenth and eight graders.  This trend indicates students are receiving a lack of the true information about drugs.

Narconon is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide successful drug rehabilitation as well as education and prevention information. One of the services offered by Narconon East US is drug prevention and education lectures to schools, businesses and community groups.

Narconon was established in 1966 and has educated over 3.5 million children on drug education and training programs. Studies show that it is important to give students the truth and vital information about drugs to make a difference. In fact, an outcome study done demonstrates the effectiveness of Narconon’s drug education lectures among teens showing a reduction in drug use as a result of teens attending the lectures.

Narconon’s sole interest is humanitarian. The founder of Narconon himself was a drug addict and had been sent to prison.  In prison, after reading a book by American author and humanitarian, L. Ron Hubbard, William Benitez established the Narconon program after he and dozens of other inmates used the principles from the book to permanently end their addictions to heroin. From this simple beginning Narconon, which means literally "no drug", grew into a worldwide network of over 120 centers worldwide providing drug prevention, education and rehabilitation services.

In the eastern United States there are several High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) as plotted by the US Drug Enforcement Agency including Florida, Michigan, New York and Washington D.C. - 13 areas overall. It is a vital offensive action for drug prevention programs to be taught in schools. This is a Narconon specialty. Narconon offers drug education that is properly surveyed and tailored to each area based on current trends and reaches the audience to effectively educate on the dangers of drugs and addiction.

Drug abuse ruins lives. There is an effective way to prevent it from ever occurring, that is with effective drug education. If you know of a school, business or community group that would benefit from effective drug education contact Narconon at 877-237-3307.

Narconon Drug Rehab Addresses Addicts Responsibility

Filed under: Narconon — Tags: , , — nneastus @ 11:20 pm

There are many factors in society that have affected the role and importance of parents. However, one booklet presents the facts of the matter in a clear-cut fashion for the 21st century.

As Narconon , a non-profit drug education and rehabilitation organization, points out, the nations new drug addicts are pre-teens.  Prescriptions drugs are among the top choices these days for these future addicts although 10th grade use of Heroin has increased and marijuana is more acceptable as well, according to the January 2010 newsletter of the Office of National Drug Control Policy .

These trends are more than "troubling" as the newsletter puts it. It indicates a moral breakdown and decline of those traditional values Americans once held dear. With so many young people coming into drug treatment centers one could easily point fingers at parents and a general failure of "good parenting"

However, the problem is far more complex than that. With higher tax rates and now more than a hundred types of taxes modern parents are more economically burdened than family’s decades ago. Generally, both parents now need to work to make ends meet. Mass media and TV prescription drug advertising has been allowed by Congress, lobbied heavily by multi-billion dollar drug companies to do so, making it so the modern American is constantly bombarded with drug ads at virtually every turn. Not to mention moral celebrity role models for children are few and far between these days.  Morals have ceased to be taught in schools.

The Narconon program takes a different approach than pointing the finger at parents for their son or daughter’s addiction. This is done by including a non-religious unbiased moral code in the program.  The book The Way to Happiness , used by Narconon, discusses 21 moral precepts and has been distributed world-wide and is in use in 130 nations with over 70 million copies in distribution.  The book was written by American author and Humanitarian, L. Ron Hubbard, who seeing the collapse of moral standards wrote this common sense moral code to fill the moral vacuum in our culture.

The fifth precept of The Way to Happiness is "Honor and Help Your Parents".  This precept gets the student of Narconon to look at his responsibility for his relationship with his parents rather than blaming his parents for all the "terrible things they’ve done to him". Often the relationship between an addict and his or her parents has been strained or even broken by the addiction. Getting this precept applied in the addicts life with the understanding as to why as covered in the book, goes far to mending that relationship.

The Narconon program turns out graduates who are far more moral and as a result more successful in life. Parents and parenting are needed now more than ever in today’s society.  But where there has been trouble on this line between parent and child, The Way to Happiness as taught to Narconon students can go far to improving the relationship.

If you would like more information on The Way to Happiness or the Narconon program contact Narconon at 877-237-3307.
