Narconon Florida Teaches Recovering Addicts How to Learn

To someone who has been embroiled in the drug scene and addiction has become a way of life, the idea of learning new things may have long since been forgotten as a possibility.  Fortunately, the Narconon program takes this into account in helping addicts to overcome drug addiction.

The Narconon program in Florida recently celebrated its 11th Anniversary in saving lives from drug addiction. They are an out-patient facility and deliver the Narconon program. One key step after detoxifying the addict’s body from drugs and toxins in their sauna program, is the Learning Improvement Course.

The Learning Improvement Course is based on the works of American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard .  The principles Mr. Hubbard developed in the area of learning and study are covered on this course. These remarkable breakthroughs are taught to Narconon students and the results speak for themselves.

Chris recently completed the Learning Improvement Course at Narconon Florida and had this to say, "The Learning Improvement Course was one of the most useful courses I have taken in my 39 year life…This course opened my eyes to why I never remembered information or had to constantly re-read information just to get something out of it."

Another student, Lindsay, comments. "The things I learned in the Learning Improvement Course makes me understand why I felt so terrible in school all of those years.  I only wish I could have known this technology sooner - but it’s time now to apply it all - I’m hungry for knowledge and can’t wait to learn more.  I’m no longer intimidated by bookwork or afraid of anything that has to do with studying."

The gains from the Narconon program are greatly enhanced by the Learning Improvement Course, for when students know how to study they can then go on and succeed at learning the rest of the information they need to be able to truly live a drug-free life.

The Narconon program addresses all of the facets of drug addiction, and not being able to properly study is just one of the barriers to overcoming addiction that most addicts face.  Fortunately, this is taken into account in the Narconon program and is handled early on after the prime factors of physical addiction are addressed.

Drugs Involved in Another Celebrity Death

TV Pitchman Billy Mays was made famous for selling such products on television as OxiClean and OrangeGlo.  Sadly, Billy died several weeks ago at his home in Tampa from a heart attack.  A recent report now issued by Hillsborough County, Florida, indicates that cocaine was a contributor to his death at age 50.

According to the county and based on a statement from Dr. Leszek Chrostowski, the associate medical examiner that did the autopsy, “Mays died from a lethal arrhythmia of the heart caused by hypertensive and arteriosclerotic heart disease.  He further concluded that cocaine use caused or contributed to the development of his heart disease, and therefore contributed to his death."

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) says that regardless of the route or frequency of use, cocaine abusers can experience acute cardiovascular or cerebrovascular (vessels in the brain) emergencies, such as a heart attack or stroke, which may cause sudden death. Cocaine-related deaths are often a result of cardiac arrest or seizure followed by respiratory arrest.

Mays was just one of many celebrities that has been taken as a result of drug addiction over the last few years and is now added to a list of many thousands of cocaine abusers in the state of Florida, a primary area for abuse of the drug.

According to the most recent statistics more than 5,000 kilograms of the drug were seized in the state during a one year period.  Additionally, more than one thousand people die in Florida each year as a result of having cocaine in their body.

One organization that is doing something about the cocaine problem in Florida is the Narconon Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Program . Narconon currently operates three drug rehabilitation centers in the state of Florida that have helped thousands of addicts in the state. The Narconon program is a long-term drug and alcohol treatment program that achieves a success rate of more than 70% for permanent sobriety with all addictions.

Narconon Helps To Curb Marijuana Problem in Florida

As marijuana cultivation increases in Florida, Narconon expands its in-state treatment capacity.

According to recent statistics, Florida is the number one state in the nation for indoor marijuana cultivation. In 2006, alone there were almost 50,000 marijuana plants eradicated in the state through the Drug Enforcement Administration and more than 500 homes in Florida growing the substance.

Marijuana has been a commonly abused drug for many years but with the recent increase in availability and cultivation, it is being used more and more by residents of Florida.

Narconon , an inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation program has recently seen a surge of clients coming into their program for marijuana abuse. “Based on the fact that more than 30% of high school student have tried marijuana before graduating high school there are going to be a number of people who become addicted and use it every day,” says Erica Catton Director of Promotion for Narconon. “And many of them not be able to stop without some type of treatment program.”  Catton adds that the indoor cultivation in the state reports have shown that the THC levels of the drug are dramatically higher, coming up from 7% to 25% or more,  making it harder for those who start smoking marijuana to stop using.

The good news is that there are now three Narconon programs located in Florida that specialize in handling marijuana addiction and achieve a more than 70% success rate for permanent sobriety from the drug.

“We have personally graduated hundreds of marijuana addicts from our drug treatment programs in Florida,” says Catton. “But, with cultivation of marijuana being a major problem in the state, we knew there are many more people out there that need help.”

Narconon has stably handled addiction for 44 years,” adds Catton. “This is what we do.”
