This treatment looks at handling the causes of the addiction, as well as the addicition itself. It is controversial inasmuch as it is based upon the writings and beliefs of Ron L. Hubbard. One time science fiction author and founder of the “religion” of scientology.

The basic premise is to try and look at an individual’s own position as a start to treating the actual addicition. This program does not make use of any drugs to combat withdrawal symptoms. Rather using education and rehabilitation. The program is widely used in schools as preventative education, along with the schools own program, if they have one.

Advocates of the program commonly claim a 70% success rate with it in combatting drug abuse. As opposed to the more usual figure of around 30% for most other treatments. Narconon claims that addicts can resume normal life as a healthy, productive member of society, when they work with the program and stick with it.

Narconon have their own facilities, where drug addicts can be treated “in-house”, or they can be treated as an out patient. Depending upon their level of drug abuse, and of course the wishes of the patient themselves, or more usually their partners/relatives.

The usual amount of time taken for the Narconon program to work effectively is between four to six months. During which time addicts are said to be “going back to school” to be re-educated on drugs, their use and abuse, the dangers of drugs and drug addiction, and of course eventual recovery. All done without the use of other pharmaceuticals to dull the pain of withdrawal.

Narconon has it’s adversaries, just as Scientology itself. These opponents say the information used is not scientifically sound, and results are manipulated to show the program in a good light. They also say that the program is in effect brainwashing. Which of course it is, as are most programs designed to wean the brain off the effects of various substances.

Another point brought up is that the educational materials used in the Narconon program are not geared to the capabilities of the students involved. That the same materials are used for elementary level to high school level, and use many scientific terms without sufficient, or even any, explanation. This can make understanding quite hard for the younger students.

This being the case, it is still a fact that drug abuse is a massive problem worldwide, and it’s causes and treatments are many. Narconon probably does have it’s place in the scheme of things, and there is no doubt that many addicts have benefited from the program. Whether those people would have benefited equally from any other program is of course a matter for conjecture.

In San Francisco there are many who suffer from heroin addiction. Heroin is processed from morphine which is extracted from the seed pods of the poppy plant. It is usually injected, snorted/sniffed or smoked. Abusers of the drug take great risks every time they use since they never know how potent the drug is or what it may be cut with. Injection of the drug gives the user a rapid onset of euphoria that lasts about 7-8 seconds and tends to be the most predominant method of heroin use among those who are seeking treatment. Heroin addiction is killing people everyday and Narconon’s premier facility Narconon Arrowhead located in Oklahoma wants to help save those lives and we have been since 2001 when we opened are doors.

There are thousands of treatment types offered through out the U.S to help those who are addicted. Finding the right treatment for you or your loved one can be a challenge especially if your not sure what to look for. People always want the easiest quickest fix for just about everything these days but, when we are talking about addiction it’s not an over night quick fix. When a person is addicted to heroin or any other drug they are physically, mentally and emotionally addicted the drug. Everything about the persons life revolves around getting and using drugs. The individual can no longer make rational decisions for themselves or others. They become unreliable in all aspects, unable to be counted on for anything. Mothers and fathers leave their children alone and children run away from home, communities and families fall apart and it’s all because of addiction. One way we can help change this cycle is by getting educated and educating others.

In San Francisco 1367 heroin addicts were entered into a 21 day outpatient program some of which were on vouchers. The program study compared voucher IDU’s (intravenous drug user’s) to non-voucher IDU’s on pre-treatment needle sharing, demographics and the rate of returning to treatment. The program study was useful in learning something’s about the patients but did it help them recover from their heroin addiction? The answer is 77 percent returned to treatment again for heroin addiction. The problem here is that these individuals were seeking help and the program failed them. Why, well it never really addressed the addiction. Remember addiction is physical, mental and emotional and all three of these aspects must be handled completely for the addict to achieve real success.

According to the 2004 – 2005 NSDUH data, approximately 175,000 Georgia citizens reported needing but not receiving treatment for illicit drug use while in October 2007 21% of the active inmate population of the Georgia Dept. of Corrections reported a drug abuse problem and an additional 15% reported a drug and alcohol abuse problem. Approximately 37% of all probationers had a drug offense as their primary offense. Obviously people do not learn how to live a responsible, productive drug free life while in jail. These are not rehabilitation facilities, they are measures to keep those addicted to drugs out of the communities for a specific period of time in hopes that they “will straighten up and see the light”. For a person already caught in the cycle of addiction, inpatient rehab is the answer for that person to regain a drug-free, productive, responsible, ethical and happy life.

When a person has become addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, there are three aspects that must be handled for a person to have long term recovery. These three are cravings, guilt and depression. If a person is trying to quit using drugs and/or alcohol and is hit with a craving and is not in an inpatient rehab, there will be no stops for them to go out searching for drugs to relieve that physical craving no matter how much they DO NOT want to use drugs or drink. Therefore an inpatient rehab not only stops that person going and getting drugs, they have qualified professionals to get them through that craving and understand why these cravings continue to arise and have the solution for them.

A person does not end up in rehab after one drug use therefore it is absurd to think if person has been using for 6 months to years of drug abuse, that they can be cured overnight. Once the physical cravings are handled and the person is able to focus on his or her environment instead of his body the guilt and depression can be handled.

The guilt and depression a person feel from their drug addicted lifestyle can push them into a relapse even though they are no longer experiencing physical cravings. With an inpatient rehab the professionals will be able to help guide that person through his past and present guilt and depression so when they are finished with the rehab they will step back into the world with a clean body and clear mind and the tools to lead the successful life everyone deserves.
