Narconon Arrowhead Works With Community For Recovery Month


(Canadian, OK) – Narconon Arrowhead believes that their role in fighting the drug problem is more than just effective rehabilitation services. They also provide drug education and prevention as well as work with other community leaders to improve living conditions in the area.

Recently they participated in an effort to revive an old theater nearby with the Pride in McAlester group, where several staff members assisted in cleaning it up the OKLA Theater along with people from Westwood Construction, Hope House and Interior Resources. It was just one of many community events the organization has participated in this year.

In addition to providing drug prevention for tens of thousands of students throughout the state of Oklahoma and surrounding areas, Narconon Arrowhead has also been working with local businesses to offer drug education in the workplace, and was named the business of the month for the McAlester Area Chamber of Commerce.

A manager at a local plant that received a workplace seminar reported, “Our staff has learned so much more than we may have anticipated learning or had already known about the affects of substance and alcohol use both in and out of the workplace. We have learned to recognize key factors and circumstances that drive people to substance abuse and why people continue of this path of destruction…I recommend the training that Narconon provides to area businesses as a means to strengthen their organizations.”

Additional community involvement continues throughout National Recovery month and heading into Red Ribbon Week in October, where Narconon Arrowhead is one of the active members in the “Take Back McAlester” campaign, culminating in a 10K run that supports the arts and humanities. Positive activities such as these help reduce substance abuse among youth and adults and those with the Narconon program believe they are essential to the enrichment of a community.

Narconon Holistic Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs in California

When it comes to drug and alcohol rehab, Narconon Vista Bay has a unique approach: physical detoxification combined with cognitive individual and group therapy. Add into the mix family involvement, a relaxing setting in the Sierra Foothills and no fixed length of stay, and it’s easy to understand why Narconon Vista Bay has higher success rates than traditional drug and alcohol treatment programs.

The Narconon treatment begins by ridding the addict’s body of all drug and alcohol residues. Months or years of abuse can cause a build up of these residues in the body, and even if the addict does not use drugs those residues can enter the blood stream and trigger physical cravings. Daily sauna treatments, exercise and vitamin supplements help to flush the residues from the system, allowing the addict to move onto the next phase of the Narconon holistic drug rehab treatment: cognitive therapy.

Individual and group therapy are a vital part of Narconon holistic drug rehab. Until an addict addresses the behavior and stresses that lead to the addictive lifestyle, he can not heal. Once the addict takes ownership of his mistakes, he then learns new skills that will help him lead a sober life. Shopping trips and hikes in the relaxed setting of small-town Placerville allow the addict to test those skills before returning home. Throughout this phase, the family can play an important part by joining the addict in therapy.

Even after the addict has successfully completed both physical detoxification and the multiple therapeutic steps, there is still work to be done. Counselors at Narconon Vista Bay create a personalized, graduate assurance program that keeps the client and his immediate family in touch with the facility for a full year after graduation. The professional staff at Narconon Vista Bay doesn’t want to see all of its – and the addict’s – hard work go to waste.

Narconon Holistic Alcohol Rehab Programs With the Highest Success Rates

Beating an addition to alcohol isn’t easy, which is why those suffering should seek treatment from a program with a proven track record. Seventy percent of alcoholics who graduate from the Narconon program are still sober five years after treatment, compared to the average 15 to 20 percent success rates of traditional 28-day programs. Narconon VistaBay combines physical detoxification with cognitive therapy to achieve these amazing results, and the fixed cost with no time limit ensures that an alcoholic can heal at his own pace.

The first step toward helping an alcoholic reach his goal of sobriety involves clearing the alcohol from his system. This isn’t as simple as stopping drinking and waiting for the effects to subside. Alcohol, like drugs, leave residues in the system. Those residues are stored in fatty tissues then released later, which can trigger mental and physical cravings. Through daily sauna treatments, exercise and vitamin supplements, Narconon Vista Bay helps the alcoholic rids his body of all traces of alcohol. With the residues gone, the chances of succeeding as a sober individual increase.

Once the alcoholic has gotten clean, the Narconon program begins to look at the causes of the addiction. Through individual and group therapy, the client studies the behaviors and relationships that were a part of his former life as an addict. He must recognize that they lead to his alcohol abuse, before he can move toward life as a sober member of society. Once he has accepted his role in the addiction, he can begin to learn new life skills that will help him to cope in ways other than the abuse of alcohol. The lovely setting of Placerville, in the Sierra Foothills, comes into play at this point for Narconon VistaBay clients. The small-town atmosphere provides low-stress outings, such as supervised shopping and hiking trips.

In addition to its drug-free, holistic approach, Narconon Vista Bay also differs from other alcohol addiction programs with its length-of-stay flexibility. No two people are the same, which means no two alcoholics will recover at the same pace and during the same time period. Traditional, 28-day programs exist at that length simply because that is what most insurance companies will cover. With its fixed cost, no time limit approach, Narconon Vista Bay allows the alcoholic to stay until he is healthy and whole. Graduates of the Narconon program say the combination of a mind-body approach and the relaxed, heal at your own pace attitude are what helped them find another way to live.

Try Narconon Holistic Drug Free Drug Addiction Recovery Program for a Permanent Solution

It doesn’t make sense to treat drug addiction with a drug, so Narconon VistaBay doesn’t do it. The Narconon holistic drug rehab program instead focuses on detoxification of the addict’s body as part of an approach that also addresses the reasons for the addiction in the first place. The peaceful setting of Narconon VistaBay – beautiful Placerville, California – also contributes to the high success rate of the facility.

Try Narconon Holistic Drug Free Drug Addiction Recovery Program for a Permanent Solution

Narconon VistaBay begins by creating a personalized program for each client. First, an addict must rid his body of drug metabolites. With prolonged drug use, a person’s body loses the ability to rid itself of all drug residues. These residues, or metabolites, are stored in fatty tissue and released into the bloodstream months, even years, after the initial drug use. Metabolites trigger mental and physical cravings in an addict, even if he has long been sober. The Narconon holistic drug rehab program includes daily sauna therapy and exercise, plus vitamin supplements, to rid the addict’s body of drug metabolites. The results are immediate: reduction or elimination of cravings and improved mental abilities.

Once the client has cleaned up his body, the staff at Narconon VistaBay begins to help him clean up his behavior. Through cognitive therapy, the addict studies his addiction lifestyle and thought processes. He also examines his relationships with friends and family. Once the client fully recognizes and accepts how his behaviors lead to a life of addiction, then he learns new life skills that will help him to cope as a sober member of society and to regain his self-worth. Supervised hiking and shopping trips in and around the small town of Placerville help the client rejoin society at a slow, peaceful pace.

Narconon, Drug-Free, Non-Profit, Drug Rehab Treatment

Narconon Vista Bay goes to the Fair! The Monterey County Fair is one of the largest in the state of California, with an average of 65,000 visitors. Taking advantage of that opportunity, Narconon Northern california had a booth in the middle of the action. The goal was to provide free drug education for children and also mingle with members of the community.

Over the five days of the fair, Narconon drug education material was placed in the hands of over 4000 children. While at the booth, kids enjoyed a prize wheel and gifts, as parents and community members appreciated the positive Narconon approach to drug prevention and education. The informative material offered was enjoyed by all.

Narconon programs assist schools across the country in meeting several criteria for the United States Department of Education, Title IV (Safe & Drug Free School) funds. Trends of youth substance abuse are tracked and monitored, and program presentations and training is modified to meet the ever changing needs of society. Prevention is the goal of drug education.

Perhaps the most unique concept behind Narconon Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment is that it is completely drug-free. The treatment has at least a 70% success rate. It is based on techniques developed by L. Ron Hubbard, an author and philosopher. Each single component or phase of the treatment is designed to increase the abilities of the client.

Narconon is a drug-free treatment method that consists of two main stages; detoxification and rehabilitation. Besides nutritional supplements, sauna sessions are an important part of the detoxification stage. Rehabilitation includes specific courses designed to increase communication skills, study skills, orientation to the environment, understanding of moral principles, and preparation for work.

With a success rate of 76%, the “Narconon Drug Rehab” is backed by a ‘Graduate Assurance Plan’. The plan promises graduates following approved discharge plans that relapse within six months of the program, will be re-admitted at no charge. “Narconon Prescription Drug Treatment” is available for a flat fee, and the duration is based on need, not insurance coverage.

Sports Are An Effective Drug Deterrent, Study Says

A recent Women’s Sport Foundation study shows people who participate in sports are less likely to engage in illicit drug use, a conclusion shared by Narconon.

A well known addiction treatment organization, Narconon offers a variety of athletic activities as a key component of the treatment programs at addiction rehab centers it operates. The organization also promotes sports and sponsors sporting events as a way of offering communities an alternative to drug use, while sending a message about drug-free, healthy activities. The core concept is that participating in sports not only engages the participants, promoting a healthy lifestyle for children and adults, but athletic competition is also much more enjoyable and rewarding than drug use. The Women’s Sport Foundation study validates this position with its finding that the incidence of drug use decreases for people who are actively involved in sports.

Narconon President Clark Carr points out: “Our drug educators and community volunteers have been endlessly creative in raising public awareness, understanding, and commitment.” Part of that creativity has been expressed through hosting or organizing a wide range of sporting events, among them: golf tournaments, celebrity softball games, international marathons, hockey games featuring NHL alumni, bicycle tours and European football matches. Besides the health benefits gained by those participating in athletic endeavors, Narconon staff and volunteers are on hand at these events to provide educational drug awareness material and promote the advantages of a drug-free lifestyle. A community that has fun, engaging and competitive recreational sports options available for youth and adults alike, has accessible alternatives that can make the difference between making a healthy choice, or turning to drugs out of boredom.

Even when not directly hosting the event, Narconon participation or sponsorship is evident in many other organized sports activities throughout the world, including Narconon sponsored racing cars, community soccer teams throughout Europe and the Narconon Miracles hockey team. Besides its involvement in sporting events, Narconon also partners with community organizations and government agencies to provide drug education programs to thousands of school children across the United States and throughout the world.

Additional information about Narconon community education projects, sponsored sporting events and addiction treatment programs may be found at www.calnarconon.org. Information about the Women’s Sport Foundation may be found at its web site: www.womenssportsfoundation.org.

Dying Meth Addict Tells His Drug Addiction Story to Narconon

It was no more then three years ago when the Narconon Trois-Rivieres video production team released one of its first drug addiction stories. This video has later been followed by other very compelling stories and interviews all giving a real life insight into the destruction a drug addiction can have. The most recent was a recorded interview of a young woman who over came a heroin addiction; she described how the addiction took away her youth and her family. “When this original drug addiction story was released it became a big hit on You Tube,” said Nick Hayes, a representative of Narcocon Trois-Rivieres. “It was an in-depth interview with a former crystal meth addict, gang member, and criminal, who turned his life around while attending the Narconon drug rehab program. The video was an inspiration to everybody who was struggling with an addiction.”

The Narconon crystal meth video became a powerful message and joined the ranks of other effective drug prevention videos helping to deter people from getting started into an addiction. Crystal meth addiction has become a destructive problem throughout the United States, and unfortunately Canada has become one on the larger distributors of these types of synthetic drugs, according to the 2009 World Drug Report. Statistically, crystal meth can be a very difficult drug to recover from. For example, according to a ‘Drug use in Toronto, Canada’ survey, it was found that 37% of Toronto street youth were using crystal meth. This number is based on a specific population, but the Canadian Association of Mental Health does not report an increase within the general population. “Regardless of how it is looked at, crystal meth addiction is a serious problem, and needs to be treated right away,” said Hayes.

Pain Medication Abuse is an Increasing Concern for Drug Treatment Center

The Narconon Trois-Riviere drug and alcohol rehabilitation center has been seeing an ongoing demand of people looking for the proper help handling a pain medication addiction. Within the recent months there has been much news discussed and published about different pain medications destroying the lives of those who are abusing them. “This has become a major problem throughout Canada and the United States . Many of the people who are looking for help and are abusing pain medication have to go through a medical detox just to prevent any major health complications from occurring,” commented Nick Hayes, a representative of Narconon Trois-Rivieres. “Some of these pain medications are so destructive, it keeps the addict in complete fear of ever getting clean, due to physical pain the withdrawals can cause.”

During the month of June, the Narconon drug rehab program helped support the United Nations International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking by hosting a live drug rehab graduation. When the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime released the 2009 Drug Report, it talked about opiates still being a concern throughout most of the modern world.

OxyContin Has Become One Of The More Popular Prescription Opiates In Canada

A study that was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, which was conducted by a Victoria, British Columbia University, looked at OxyContin drug addiction in seven different Canadian cities. OxyContin has become one of the more popular prescription opiates in Canada. “Physically one of the more destructive drugs, it’s the fear of the withdrawals that keeps many users abusing it,” said Nick Hayes, a representative of the Narconon drug rehab program. “When the drug is first prescribed or abused, many users are unaware of how addictive it is.”

narconon

Dr. Benedikt Fisher led this particular research study, and was able to discover that heroin was becoming less significant among illicit opiate users. He also indicated in this study that most street users began consuming when they got involved with the medical system. When the time-release formula was created and approved, it ended up changing the course of opiate abuse. Users discovered that by chewing and mixing it with alcohol, crushing the drug and snorting it, or even cooking it down and injecting it, they would experience an extremely intense high, which happens very rapidly and the effects are similar to that of heroin.

First started in 2001, the study followed close to 600 participants from seven different Canadian cities; Montreal, Quebec City, Fredericton, St. John, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Toronto. It’s important to understand that this dilemma affects every province across Canada; even though, it has become very prominent in the Atlantic Provinces, with Newfoundland actually appointing a special task force to help tackle the problem. Perdue Pharma, which was the pharmaceutical company that marketed OxyContin, faced many different lawsuits. In fact, three executives did admit to misbranding the drug, claiming it was less addictive, and not subject to abuse. Eventually, Perdue Pharma had paid out over 600 million dollars in fines.

Narconon Gives Back To the Community

Not all drug rehabilitation programs can say that they have the highest success rate of graduates staying off of drugs permanently. And not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers can say that they do more than help people recover, they also give back to the community through education and prevention. You cannot win the battle against substance abuse if you don’t have the tools necessary to fight in the first place.

calnarconon

For drug rehabilitation to be completely effective there has to be more than telling a person that the need to quit abusing drugs and alcohol. There has to be a hands approach that delves into the real issues that cause a person to alter their whole life just to find solace in a bottle of alcohol or baggy of drugs. The hands on approach cannot just come from within the walls of a drug treatment facility; it has to start in the streets, in the schools, and in the homes of every person on the planet. Drug and alcohol abuse doesn’t just affect the environment that an addict lives in, it affects each person that the addict encounters, it affects the work that is to be done, it affects the children that have to live with it, and learn from it. Through education, you can stop drug and alcohol addiction before it starts. Through education you can teach the children of addicts to break the cycle. Through education you can change the world.

Since the inception of the narconon program the goal is been to educate not only current and former addicts about the dangers of substance abuse, but people in the communities that we all live in and in the communities where the drug trade hits the hardest. The Narconon program is not only in the U.S. The Narconon program has been able to educate people in over 40 countries in places like Columbia, Ukraine, Philippines, and even Iran. Each are benefitting from the education they receive and the activities they become part of. Narconon is actively involved with the organizing and hosting of sporting events all over the world. From the Narconon Miracles hockey team, to golf tournaments, marathons, and even celebrity softball games, the message is clear. Involvement with community, schools, and activities keeps kids off of drugs and away from alcohol. Giving people the right tools at the beginning will create success at the end.

Drug Rehabilitation Video Pays Tribute to Narconon Graduates

The Narconon Trois-Rivieres drug rehab program recently put together a new drug rehab video paying tribute to some Narconon drug rehab graduates, and the Narconon program founder, William Benitez. In this video there is a small clip of the amazing drug education lecture given by Benitez over 40 years ago. He talks about how drugs are the easiest way to hurt a person. He says: “The quickest way to hurt a person, or a nation, or a group, the quickest way to hurt a person’s goals, his aims, his ability, his life, is by introducing that person to narcotics.”

This statement made by Mr. Benitez is the absolute truth. Everyday, there are more and more people being introduced to narcotics. When this happens, these people start down a path that could potentially take everything. William Benitez was aware of this 40 years ago, when he overcame his own 19 year long addiction to heroin, and other drugs. He started the first Narconon therapy group that saved his life, and the lives of twelve other inmates. This video production gives a glimpse of where some of the graduates of the Narconon drug rehab program were in the midst of their addiction, and then the video shows where these graduate are, after completing a drug rehab program.

The Narconon drug rehab program has produced well over 25,000 graduates worldwide.
