Narconon , a non-profit drug rehabilitation and education organization, provides information to parents and families on the signs of drug addiction.

Some of the general signs of drug or alcohol abuse involve shunning or avoiding others. There will also be a dramatic shift in the person’s behavior toward others or the environment based on your prior experience with the person.

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.

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

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.

This past week, Narconon New England traveled to a medium security prison in Rhode Island to deliver a drug prevention talk that received rave results.

“I did a Narconon Truth about Drugs Presentation called ‘Drugs and Emotions’ to this group of inmates and it was a great talk,” says Maria Di Liegro, Executive Director of Narconon New England. “The inmates had lots of great questions and got a lot out of the talk. The Narconon drug ed presentations are extremely well received there.”

Di Liegro has traveled to the prison many times to speak with the inmates who are turning their lives around through treatment through the Criminon Program while incarcerated. She has worked in the drug prevention field with Narconon New England educating both children and adults in schools, prisons and community groups about drug abuse and addiction.  The main purpose is always sharing the Narconon drug prevention message which has demonstrated its effectiveness throughout the world.

The Narconon program was started by a prison inmate named William Benitez back in 1966. Searching for a solution to his own drug problem and serving a sentence in Arizona state penitentiary, Benitez came upon a book in the prison library by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard that finally gave him a solution to overcome his own addiction. From there Benitez, with the help of Hubbard and many volunteers, was able to expand the program all over the world. Today Narconon operates more than 100 drug rehab facilities in 44 different countries and has delivered drug education lectures to 3.5 million people worldwide.

Narconon Handles Prescription Drug Abuse

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — nneastus @ 10:16 pm

Narconon is providing solutions for the growing prescription drug abuse problem.

Prescription drug abuse fills press headlines.  Celebrity names like Michael Jackson, who died of overdose according to preliminary findings of the LA coroner, along with Anna Nicole Smith, DJ AM and Actor Heath Ledger all died of prescription drug overdoses. With this many recent well known prescription drug deaths, it would seem of some importance for us to have a better awareness of the dangers of prescription drug abuse .

Prescription drugs are more and more mass marketed with encouragement to get drugs with the often chimed phrase, "Ask your doctor, if (the now advertised drug) is right for you".  As a result, doctors are more and more looked to not so much as healers but as purveyors of medical drugs. Celebrities, Actors, Athletes also promote drugs in various ways, if merely by the fact it’s promoted to our youth that they take drugs.

The celebrities above as well as other stellar names, like radio show host Rush Limbaugh, who also battled prescription addiction, didn’t start out seeking to get hooked. So what is addiction and how does one get hooked?

According to Narconon Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation and Education Centers , addiction is defined as a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences.

Many drugs today are extremely addictive and in many cases, the cycle of addiction begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain.

“In every patient we see, there is some type of problem or issue that has led them into the addiction in the first place,” says Erica Catton Director of Promotion for Narconon. “But the mechanics behind it is that by helping to bring these problems to the surface and giving the person skills to handle them, they then won’t have to go back to using drugs as a solution to a problem. They can be free from addiction ."

Drug addiction is solvable whether illegal or prescription drug abuse Narconon can handle addiction as they fully understand the mechanics behind addiction and the solution to unraveling addiction.

And Narconon has been the frontrunner in solving drug abuse problems for more than 40 years.  Since 1966 Narconon Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation and Education Centers have been permanently handling addiction with an over 70% permanent success rate.
