Narconon Drug Rehab News

Rehab, not jail is the best method to treat addicts.

By the time Bobby Newman turned 15 he felt as though he was missing out on something. Both his sisters had gotten married and left home Bobby was left alone with his mother as his parents had divorced years earlier. Drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana acted as a solution for what Bobby thought was missing in his life but as his addiction escalated he soon realized that the drugs caused him a lot more problems than he ever imagined.

Despite his drug use, Bobby, a skilled athlete, was offered and took a full scholarship to a small college to play football. This could have been the thing that helped him to leave his drug problem behind. Instead college was the place where Bobby started using cocaine and speed [methamphetamine].

It didn’t take long for Bobby to drop out of school as a result of his addiction. He ended up moving back home and becoming a journeyman sheet-metal worker as he continued to use methamphetamine. As a result, Bobby’s life went to pieces. “I was arrested more times than I care to remember,” he says. “I wrecked every car I had every owned, broke a lot of bones in those wrecks and got into a lot of gun and knife fights.”

When all was said and done, Bobby was facing 7 years in federal prison and $300,000.00 in fines. He was taken to prison after a methamphetamine overdose until a family member intervened with a better solution.

Bobby’s sister was looking for something to help Bobby and get him out of the system permanently. She found that with the Narconon drug rehab program.  Bobby was released from prison to go into drug rehab and as a result he has just celebrated 10 clean.

Based on his own experiences Bobby Newman knows that drug rehab, not jail, is the only thing that can rehabilitate a person who is addicted to drugs. “Jail only makes you worse.” says Newman. “Being locked up with other criminals simply made me feel as though I wanted to go out and commit more crimes each time I was released. The only way I was able to restore my self respect was through rehabilitation.”

Today Newman gives back to others as a trained prevention specialist and professional addiction counselor.   Over the years, he has helped save thousands of people’s lives through his drug education talks and professional counseling.  “I knew that after my years of dealing drugs, manufacturing of meth and basically being a menace to society, I had a lot of damage to make up for, but that it is possible for anyone,” says Newman.

Because of his long-term, stable sobriety Bobby Newman now knows he can do anything in life. “The saying goes: ‘what you can confront you can handle,”’ says Newman.  “Narconon gives you a strong foundation and tools to work with to handle life and causes you to not only to be able to handle and confront life, but actually enthusiastically tackle anything you’ve ever wanted to.”
