Rehabs that Use Prescription Medication
There are drug rehabilitation centers all over the world that, upon arrival, place clients on anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and mood stabilizers. Physicians encourage this behavior because prescription drugs are big business, but the truth of the matter is simple: replacing one drug dependency for another is reckless. These facilities will often times prescribe methadone to heroin addicts, replacing their addiction with a much more addictive substance. Anti-depressants are easily prescribed to clients who claim they are depressed. Of course they are depressed; they are addicted to drugs.
Holistic Treatment
The Narconon Program takes a holistic approach to drug rehabilitation. Narconon has a completely drug-free program that focuses on cleansing a person’s body of all the drug toxins that have been trapped in the fatty tissues. Most drugs are out of a person’s circulatory system in a few days, but drug residuals can remain trapped in one’s fatty cells for years. This can lead to cravings years after a person stops using drugs.
Narconon believes that a person, whether or not he or she realizes it, is always in control of how he or she feels. Through extensive life skills training, people learn how to be more at “cause” over their lives instead of always being at “effect” of their environment. This helps people take control of their lives, face their fears, absolve themselves of shame and guilt, and live happily.
Narconon’s New Life Detoxification Program
Narconon’s New Life Detoxification is a program that is designed to rid a person’s body of all the harmful toxins, from drugs to carbon-monoxide poisoning. The New Life Detoxification Program happens at the beginning of a person’s program to bring a person to an optimum level with a clear body and a clear mind. This will help them during the rest of the Program and the rest of their lives. During this part of the Program, clients take niacin under the supervision of Narconon Staff. Then the person participates in some cardiovascular activity to get the blood flowing; this distributes the niacin in the bloodstream and the rest of the body which then pushes the trapped toxins to the surface. The person remains hydrated while taking supervised sessions in the sauna to facilitate sweating. The more one sweats, the more toxins are removed from the body. Other natural supplements are administered to help with the detoxification. This method has been proven in cleansing the toxins trapped in the fatty cells of people’s bodies. People who go through this part of the Narconon Program often feel like they did before they started using, and almost all are no longer burdened by physical cravings for drugs.
Narconon’s Life Skills Training
The succeeding portion of the Narconon Program includes treatments that permit a person to concentrate on tangible objectives and recover self-control. It is where the former addict discovers to release past difficulties and upsetting memories, and really be in the ‘here and now’ and attentive in daily life. A student will also learn to identify and get past obstacles to learning and understanding which will help him or her throughout the remainder of the Program and the rest of his or her life.
Narconon believes that people addicted to drugs do not live in the present and do not make convincing plans for the future. These problems are tackled through a succession of exercises intended to develop the person’s ability to concentrate on objectives and goals and to stick to them so they can be achieved.
Clients then discover how to recognize the two kinds of people in society: those who are helpful, and those who are hurtful. At this time, students will disconnect from any negative people they may have in their lives. At the end of the Narconon Program, a person learns how to find their personal morals and truth. Here they will create a set of ethics to live by for the rest of their lives to guarantee that they stay on a good path surrounded by good people.
Then Narconon students learn about conditions and how to detect which one they are in at any moment. A condition is a state of being and, by using the formulas that the Narconon Program offers; a person can easily change how he is doing in life and get to a desired level of existence. A person can use this technique and formulas to change any condition in any area of his or her life. This will certainly help a person improve their body, mind, and spirit.
The end of the Narconon Program is simple and precise. Students are given an easy-to-follow guide to living joyful, industrious, drug-free lives. This refreshes his memory regarding life’s golden rules like: “Do not seek praise and approval” and “Do not tell harmful lies.” When an individual is clear headed and applying these doctrines, he or she will be ready to rejoin society as a caring, honest, humble person.
