Narconon Changes Addicts Lives with Simple Moral Code

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.

Narconon Opens the Eyes of Addicts Concerning Children

Filed under: Narconon, Narconon East U.S. — Tags: , , — nneastus @ 12:01 am

It seems odd to think a drug addict would have any concern for children. However, as Narconon East U.S. explains, as the addict is freed from his addiction and put on his own road to a better life, the care and handling of children becomes an inevitable part of that equation.

Narconon has as a fundamental part of its drug rehabilitation program the restoring of moral values to addicts using the non-religious universally popular book, The Way to Happiness.  This book has been in use since 1981 and is a common sense guide to living.  Morals in The Way to Happiness are approached in a good sense fashion, eliminating the didactic approach to morals often associated with them, instead the book appeals to ones reason and good sense.

The Way to Happiness was written by one of the most prolific and widely read authors of our time, humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard . The booklet is in use in more than 130 countries around the world with over 70 million copies in circulation. The 21 precepts and subsequent text that explains each precept is studied by Narconon students after their addiction has already been addressed by nutrition, physical processes and various drills.

The results have been remarkable in its application. Oftentimes Narconon students may enter the program from broken families and with forlorn children of their own. Children whose lives would otherwise be subjected to neglect due to parental drug addiction or, if the State had intervened, a life of foster care. Studying The Way to Happiness precept four, "Love and Help Children", opens the eyes of such formerly neglectful parents and gently presents common sense data on children and raising them giving the former addict real direction on how to become a successful parent.

As it states in The Way to Happiness, "Today’s children will become tomorrow’s civilization".  Making this real to former addicts that do have children is vital to their child’s success and that of their own. To bring this home with even more reality The Way to Happiness has now been produced in a full length film on DVD using movie magic to present the full text of the book in a way that the viewer gains a complete understanding of each precept in an entertaining fashion.

Children are our most important resource. Abused and neglected by parents hooked on drugs or alcohol doesn’t just impact their own lives but the lives of our overall civilization. By instilling moral values and bringing addicts up to responsibility for their own lives and that of their children, a better future can result for not only them but ourselves as well.

As one Narconon graduate puts it, "I became happy and grateful that I was given the opportunity to do the Narconon Program and gain control of my life and be able to make decisions that would lead me down a road of happiness and success. Thank you Narconon for giving me my life back."

The Narconon program is designed to not only solve addiction but give the student the necessary tools to live a successful life. The Way to Happiness is one of those tools that produces stellar results.

If you know of someone struggling with addiction and would like them to lead a successful drug-free life, contact Narconon today at 877-237-3307.

Addict Learns To Repair Relationship With Son Thanks To Narconon Drug Rehab

Filed under: Narconon — Tags: , , — nneastus @ 7:30 pm

One of the most important things for the future of our society is the positive upbringing of children. Children need the love and help of parents and family to really make it. And those children who have parents or family members who are struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction can have an especially difficult time.

Bobby N. is one person who has had personal experience with addiction and it’s affects on the family. He was addicted to drugs for more than 20 years before going into treatment. “[When I was using drugs] I would not see my son for months and when I did I was always using, although he did not know it at the time. Sometimes I would fall asleep after being up for days and he could not wake me up and would get scared, eventually he got to where he did want to come over,” he explains in a recent interview.

With the help of his family, Bobby enrolled in the Narconon program where he was finally able to handle his drug addiction for good. During his treatment he was able to do many courses that helped him to regain control of his life but there was one course in-particular that really helped him to get back onto the road to survival.

This course was called The Way To Happiness and in it he found some key information that aided him in repairing his relationship with his own child. This was one precept in the book called, “Love and Help Children.”  From the information in this book along with the rest of the Narconon program Bobby was able to mend his relationship with his son and even became a drug prevention lecturer to help other children.  “The precept, “Love and Help Children” is one the biggest reasons I do what I do now, because I wanted to make the world as safe as possible for my son,” he says.

The Way To Happiness is a common sense guide to moral living that has been used as a key part of Narconon drug treatment for decades. Narconon is a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that has been helping to rehabilitate addicts and rebuild families since 1966. The organization currently operates more than 150 centers in 50 different countries and achieves a more than 70% success rate for permanent recovery from substance abuse.

Today Bobby’s relationship with his son is stronger than ever.  “Today my son and I get along well and I can honestly say I we are very, very close almost as friend s but at the same time it is responsibility to set an example for him and be there for him as a guiding light,” says Bobby.

“When I went through the Narconon program the precepts on the way to happiness literally drove in the responsibilities I have to my son and family and I cannot imagine living the life insanity I once lived,” he adds.

For Many Addicts, Promiscuity Plays Major Role In Addiction

Filed under: Narconon — Tags: , , — nneastus @ 10:37 pm

Nicole, a Narconon drug rehab graduate knows how promiscuity and addiction can go hand in hand. “[When I was on drugs] that was my everyday life,” she explains in a recent interview. “I was a prostitute walking streets of Detroit, I was raped and beaten and had guns point to my head. I was addicted to crack cocaine and heroin and using since I was 12 years old.”

And Nicole isn’t the only addict whose addiction caused her own morals to decline rapidly. In fact promiscuity has been directly related to drug and alcohol addiction for decades.  According to the government website on College Drinking Prevention , 400,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 had unprotected sex and while under the influence of alcohol more than 100,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 report having been too intoxicated to know if they consented to having sex.

Relationship problems continually arise with those abusing both alcohol drugs including domestic violence, infidelity, unwanted pregnancy and the spread of disease.

Narconon, a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program, recognizes this as a major barrier to successful recovery and for many, and key underlying issue that adds to drug and alcohol abuse.

To help handle this, the drug rehab program uses educational life-skills methods that help addicts to adopt a common sense moral code to living. This part of the program is called "The Way To Happiness" and goes over precepts that help addicts to improve their own well-being and productivity in life. Part of this course enables clients to learn about having successful relationships, being faithful to their partner, and to safeguard their own health and well-being in these areas.

Recently a new video has been released that will be used in addition to the book that covers this precept that is now being used in the Narconon program to better help clients.

The Way To Happiness is a non-religious moral code for the 21st century. More than 70 million copies have been published and circulated in 90 languages and 130 nations. The course has been used as a part of the Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program since for decades.

And for Narconon graduates like Nicole this technology has been lifesaving. “[Narconon] gave me my life back,” she says.  “I have what I was always searching for that I could never find. I now have that. I have happiness, the knowingness. I am able to do anything I want to do well. I can win at life and I am winning.”

Today Nicole has been free from drugs for several years and is happily married with children of her own. Her advice to those trapped in the cycle of addiction is not to lose hope no matter how many times you have fallen because she is living proof that drug rehabilitation does work to restore those morals that many feel have been lost for good.

Celebrity Addiction A Growing Tragedy

Filed under: Narconon — Tags: , , — nneastus @ 10:07 pm

Currently, there is a major concern regarding our nation’s youth in becoming drug addicted. According to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy report on prescription and over-the-counter drug abuse among the Nation’s teens, young people age 12-17 abuse prescription drugs more than cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine combined.

Celebrity behavior dramatically impact our Nation’s youth. This impact can be positive or negative. However, celebrities from all walks have been reported as abusing one substance or another. This definitely can impact negatively.

We hear about celebrity addiction tragedies such as Howard Stern’s comedian Artie Lange’s battle with addition and resultantly repeatedly stabbing himself in a suicide attempt.  Casey Johnson recently died, although reports of exact cause is unclear, it is known she has battled addiction in the past and there is speculation that she may have gotten home after partying with drugs or alcohol and forgotten to take her Diabetes medicine which resulted in her death.

DJ AM died with 8 undigested OxyContin in his stomach and a ninth in his mouth.

There are also the countless celebrities who have checked into drug rehabs or battled substance abuse problems, including Steven Tyler, Rush Limbaugh, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Robert Downey Jr., and on and on.

Narconon handles addiction to all forms of substance abuse.  Narconon has the highest percentage of permanent recovery from addiction in the industry.  With addiction there are both physical and mental factors to address. Drug cravings can be a very real and insidious part of addiction. With prescription medicine it can and does appear to creep up on one as one is usually required to take a particular painkiller for a certain length of time. This time frame is often long enough to build up enough toxins from the drug to result in cravings for the substance.

The Narconon drug rehabilitation program handles drug cravings in a unique fashion by actually flushing out toxins and handling nutritional deficiencies caused by addiction using the New Life Detoxification program . If the toxins and deficiencies aren’t handled the physical cravings remain and makes addiction a constant battle. However, handled on the Narconon program, addicts experience new vitality and resurgence, no longer being held back by the physical factors of drug toxins built up in their bodies.

Drug addiction can be solved with the Narconon program. Celebrity addiction is simply addiction.  The stress of performance and job demands can often lead to seeking drugs or alcohol as a source of relief. However there are other solutions and Narconon students are educated on these as well and so can live successful drug-free lives.

Narconon Offers The Way to Happiness for Addicts

Filed under: Narconon — Tags: , , — nneastus @ 2:14 am

Everyone knows to some degree what happiness is but is there an actual road to happiness that one can follow to obtain it? Narconon includes a book in its drug rehabilitation program that gives a way for recovering addicts to obtain the long sought after happiness.

Narconon specializes in drug prevention and rehabilitation. Often a drug addict started on drugs or alcohol to obtain some sense of happiness.  Drugs give one a false sense of well being initially only to have serious consequences afterwards. As someone does drugs a second and third time each time they are trying to obtain that initial sense of well being. As addiction continues it begins to take more and more of the same drug to produce the desired effect. The body becomes more and more toxic and withdrawal symptoms experienced when the drug wears off become more and more intense. This is not the happiness the addict was seeking.

Drugs also lower ones threshold of what is right and wrong. Cravings for the drug can be so intense as to give the addict the feeling life itself depends on getting the drug again. Criminal acts and immoral actions can result. Stealing from parents, friends, and loved ones is not uncommon, all in an effort to get money to obtain more drug.

So here we have a picture of someone turning to drugs for happiness and it not being the case. So on what does happiness depend?  Money?  Fame?  Sex?

These are questions that most people ask themselves at one point or another. The media so often promotes becoming a celebrity as the goal of true happiness. Generations of teens and children look up to celebrities such as Michael Jackson, Steven Tyler, Amy Winehouse, David Hasselhoff of Knight Rider Fame, and countless others. All of these celebrities have battled drug addiction, prescription or otherwise.  Not so happy circumstances.  Yet these people had money and fame.

The Narconon program contains a book called The Way to Happiness as a vital part of its drug rehabilitation technology. What makes up happiness and how it is obtained is fully laid out in this commone sense guide to better living. The book was written by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard and has been published in more than 90 languages with over 70 million copies distributed in 130 nations.

The Way to Happiness is an unbiased and non-religious moral code that is based on common sense. It has been nationally recognized and commended in the U.S. by Members of Congress, Senators, 2 U.S. Presidents and Governors representing 40 U.S. States. As well it has been adopted and implemented in many counties around the world.

For the first time those previously addicted learn and find out how true happiness is obtained.  True happiness that benefits their survival and the survival of those around them.  Celebrity or not happiness can be obtained and it is the final book in the Narconon program giving Narconon students the true knowledge they need to obtain happiness and not look to false roads such as drug addiction to obtain it.

To learn more about The Way to Happiness and to find out more about the Narconon’s effective drug prevention and rehabilitation contact Narconon today at 877-237-3307.

Pill Mills Major Contributor To Prescription Drug Epidemic

Filed under: Narconon, prescription drug addiction, prescription drug rehab — Tags: , , , , , , — nneastus @ 2:14 am

Narconon East US has been seeing an increasing number of people seeking help for prescription pain pill addiction.  This is not surprising when one takes into account the skyrocketing numbers of new pain clinics in South Florida that has allowed prescription drug trafficking to go unchecked creating many new prescription pain pill addicts.

The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy has reported South Florida Pill Mills are proliferating at an alarming rate. In 2007 there were only 4, in 2009 115 were in Broward County, Florida alone.

In Broward County Florida a Grand Jury was convened to investigate the huge increase in Pill Mills in South Florida. The top 25 dispensing doctors of Oxycodone in the Nation are located in Florida with 18 of them in Broward County. In 2008 all 50 of the top 50 doctors dispensing Oxycodone in the Nation were in Florida.  The result is floods of new prescription pain pill addicts.

A Pill Mill is a pain clinic that "treats patient for pain" by dispensing large quantities of controlled substances for non-medical purposes.  Typically they are rogue clinics putting out pills for cash. Patients seeking drugs go to these clinics faking illnesses and complaining of non-existent pain. After the doctor does an "exam" they then prescribe a 30 day cocktail of usually 4 different drugs. The patient then travels to another clinic and goes through the same "dance" obtaining more drugs.  This allows drug dealers and traffickers to obtain enormous quantities of drugs and clinics to profit handsomely and plausibly deny any wrong doing.

Narconon East US provides effective drug rehabilitation in various clinics throughout the East US with three locations in Florida. As people have bee contacting Narconon seeking help for drug addiction the "new addict" is the prescription drug addict.

Prescription drugs as just as harmful as any other drug when abused.  In fact, many prescription painkillers are extremely addictive and have serious side effects.  The Narconon procedure fortunately handles the prescription drug addict just as it does the Heroin addict, however the unfortunate part is that legally operating clinics are the new source of addicts in our nation.

The Grand Jury in Broward County points out Florida was delinquent in  enacting legislation authorizing a Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. 38 States had enacted such legislation and Florida was the largest State that had not despite it also having the top 50 of the nations top dispensing doctors of pain pills.  This of course allowed Florida to be a safe haven for drug traffickers and thus they have flocked to Florida making Florida a High Intensity Drug Trafficking area.

Finally in July 2009 Florida enacted legislation, however, it doesn’t go into effect until December 2010. Meanwhile more and more addicts are formed.  Education about prescription drugs and their potential for abuse is essential.

Narconon East US offers drug prevention, education and drug rehabilitation services. If you would like more information on prescription drug abuse or the Narconon program contact Narconon at 877-237-3307.
