In the field of drug and alcohol abuse it would mean to give the person his/her self respect back and to make him/her feel like a valuable member of society. This is what we strive to achieve at Narconon. What follows is what one of our current students wrote upon completion of book 7 of our life skills courses.

Here is what he had to say about it:- "This has been one of the most emotionally fraught elements of the course that I have done. Tougher than the sauna; more intense than the objectives; as vital as books 5, 6 and 7. Indeed it is those steps that I have already taken that truly prepared me for the handling of my past ethics conditions and my family. Having spent the past few years before arriving at Narconon putting my parents, brother and sister though concern, disappointment, anger and desperation this was my chance to confront the consequences and make up for the damage. I have done so. I feel that I have laid the foundations for a valuable and honest relationship with my family.

These are then repeated prior to starting the session work in order to prepare the students for the session work. Here at Narconon when students go into session we do it differently to other rehabs. We get two students to work together. The term we use for this is a twinship. The main reasons we use this technique is to bring up a persons responsibility for somebody else which in turn brings up their responsibility level for themselves and also to develop trust in another person.

J.C. came to us recently due to a crack cocaine addiction. This after having been on psychiatric medications for 10 years to try to "handle the problem", which clearly was no solution.

Read the whole newsletter here Narconon UK Newsletter 17-06-2007Today I'd like to start with some information with regard to the extent of the drug problem we face. The statistics with regard to drug abuse are staggering. An estimated 281,000 heroin addicts living in the Britain; 10.5 percent of UK adults experimented with drugs in the last year; 45 percent of the young people in England and Wales admit trying cannabis.

Mike is our landlord here at Narconon Hastings and has become a staunch supporter of our programme. Narconon UK Newsletter 11-06-2007When a student completes the Narconon programme he or she usually gives a speech or has it read for him by a staff member. Here is what one student who recently completed the programme said:- "Yes! At last I have finished the Narconon programme! It has been a good journey I have had my up's and down's trust me.

Read the whole newsletter here Narconon UK Newsletter 05-06-2007The Narconon programme takes 3 to 6 months to complete, sometimes longer. Some students feel so much better during the programme that they don't feel they need to finish the programme. We do however encourage students to complete the whole programme to ensure that they not only get off drugs but they STAY OFF drugs. P.R had been using a mixture of drugs and alcohol for many years. He has been at Narconon for around 6 months and felt ready to leave after book 5 but did in fact stay on and finish the programme. What follows are his own successes from the last 2 books of the programme. Read the whole newsletter here Narconon UK Newsletter 30-05-2007The 3 major phases of our drug rehabilitation programme are withdrawal, detoxification and rehabilitation. Today I'd like to talk about the detoxification phase of the programme. The definition of detoxification is "To extract poison or toxins from something". This is what we do with our sauna programme. As you may already know, drugs and alcohol are poison/toxins. Too much of them can kill a person. Unfortunately, drugs residues stay in the bodies fatty tissues for years after use and can affect a person at a later time. Detoxification from drugs is therefore an important part of the success of any treatment. Substituting one drug with another is not detoxification. It is substituting one poison with another! Our detoxification programme is an exact daily regime of nutritional supplements, supervised exercise and periods of time sweating in a dry sauna to rid the fatty tissues of these drug residues and toxins. When Fiona came to Narconon she had been taking heroin for around 6 years, this had taken its toll on her family. She is now mid-way into the detoxification part of the programme and is doing very well. What follows are her own words. Read the whole newsletter here Narconon UK Newsletter 24-05-2007A fundamental portion of the Narconon programme is the Life Skills Courses which are a series of books. Book 7 "The Changing Conditions in Life" course enables the student to evaluate the state of different parts of their lives and how to change these for the better, step by step, until one not only achieves a more desirable state for each but the student can also see how they can achieve all their worthwhile plans.

Here is what she has to say. "I have now been working for Narconon as a family counsellor for the past 8 years. My job is to help the families who contact us for assistance in getting their loved one into rehab. One of the most commonly asked questions I hear is:- "How do I get my son/daughter, etc. to agree to go to rehab?" This seems to be the biggest STOP for people and is an unknown to them. I have compiled information below which will help you with this problem. I hope you will find it useful.

Here is what one student who recently completed the programme said. "After many years of what I though to be social drinking; it suddenly hit me that my life was falling apart. I had been the life and soul of the party, the good guy. I had been the one that everyone said "bet you wouldn't" and I did. I was the one that when I had a drink nothing worried me.

Both students were withdrawing from heroin. "Today is a very genuine day as I have finished the withdrawal step. I believe my drug use has finally come to the end and I am a lot more positive about my life. I can only laugh now at the state which I came in. Thank goodness for this programme and in myself for coming here. I'm proud of myself for showing that I can start another life and I'll take it from there now and thank you to all the staff for pulling me through the worst." M.M.

"By the Spring of 2006 our 21 year old son (James) was in such a state that he was barely recognisable as much of a human, let alone the caring, intelligent and self respecting teenager he had been.

Here is what James who recently completed the programme said. "On the car ride to Narconon I was barely able to look my parents in the eye, I was so ashamed. For the past 7 years I have put my family through hell with my substance addiction and yet they never once gave up on me for which I will be eternally grateful.....

This is what the sister of one of our current students, wrote after seeing him recently. Read the whole newsletter here Narconon UK Newsletter 14-09-2006Today I'd like to talk about how people get addicted to drugs. No one intends to become addicted to drugs or alcohol. Unfortunately many of us do. Addicts don't become addicted with the intention to destroy their lives and to cause upset to those they love. These conditions are the by-product of addiction. The addict lies to everyone, things start missing around the house, and the dishonesty conveyed is proportionate to the severity of the addiction. These things are apparent to those living with an addict. Read the whole newsletter here Narconon UK Newsletter 11-09-2006Narconon clients are not considered or treated as "patients" but as "students" who are learning to regain control of their lives. This is an important distinction. A Narconon student does not enrol to recover from an illness; they enrol to learn something that they don't already know. They address the disability caused by drug use with new abilities and new skills for life. A lot of support and great camaraderie normally exists between the students on the course.

Read the whole newsletter here Narconon UK Newsletter 31-08-2006The Narconon programme takes between 3 to 6 months to complete, sometimes longer. It is not a quick fix solution as quick fix solutions do not work. The Narconon programme is a comprehensive rehabilitation programme. The aim of the programme is to produce graduates who know that they are capable of living a happy, ethical life free from drugs and alcohol. Here is what one student wrote upon completion of the programme:- "When I first arrived at Narconon I wasn't a shadow of the person I have metamorphosed into now...

One of our graduates received this letter from his sister and suggested that we publish it. "Congratulations on your graduation. Phew, what a difference this past year has made to all our lives. We can look back to how you were before your rehab.... Read the whole newsletter here Narconon UK Newsletter 09-08-2006The full Narconon programme is intended to produce graduates who can
stand on their own feet and live drug or alcohol free, ethical lives
thereafter. Our graduates do not go to weekly meetings for months after
completion, nor do they describe themselves as "recovering." A student
who has graduated from the programme has recovered. He or she has
obtained a new orientation in life. The premise of the Narconon model is
that a former addict or alcoholic can achieve a new life.

This book is the learning improvement course. This is a short, but very powerful course that gives a person some new techniques on how to study more effectively towards the result of a real world ability to apply information learned to their lives. This information is needed in all subsequent courses to ensure the students get the full benefit of the programme and is extremely helpful in all areas of life.

Read the whole newsletter here Narconon UK Newsletter 15-12-2005I would like to take this opportunity to describe the final two courses of the Narconon programme. Part of the drug rehabilitation process includes helping former addicts take responsibility for past misdeeds, which provides tremendous relief from the guilt of those actions. Once this is accomplished the individual has an opportunity to repair the damage one has caused, and thus improve the condition of his or her life. Part of the Narconon Drug Rehabilitation Programme is specifically geared toward helping the individual through these steps.

opportunity to describe the first part of the Narconon study
programme. Read the whole newsletter here Narconon UK Newsletter 04-10-2005For the drug addict lack of self-confidence, inability to communicate, loss of self esteem, deterioration in health and weight loss are all symptoms of drug or alcohol abuse. This impacts not only the individual but also the addicts family and friends. The addict becomes a different person often resorting to deception and even crime to support his habit.

It's all about results! What Causes Drug Addiction and Alcoholism? "...the best high is the adrenalin rush
of completing the narconon programme" "Your efforts are most likely the reason our son developed the will to change ..." "I wake up every morning looking forward to my day ahead because I know I'm in total control of my life and because I rediscovered myself ..." "...I was very sceptic at first but now I feel Narconon is the only way - it's working for me." Steven "After seeing the results of your work and speaking to members of the staff, I feel that you have much to teach the drug rehabilitation field" "I came to NARCONON a broken mess of a human being. ... Today I have no words to really explain the difference in my life. ... I am successful and happy and I have a future." |
