Narconon Rehab: A Different Approach
Narconon’s rehab program starts at a completely different place or foundation than traditional 12 Step, medical detox and addiction is a disease NIDA models. Written into the Narconon philosophy of addiction is that you don’t have a life long disease, you don’t have to struggle with your condition for life, you don’t have to diminish your power or capability to overcome addiction.
Factually the exact opposite is true in the Narconon rehab program philosophy:
The Narconon Rehab Program is a social education Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation Program. People enrolling onto the Narconon rehab program are not considered or treated as patients but as students who are learning to regain control of their lives. Students beginning a Narconon rehab & detox center receive a full Medical Physical and Medical Qualification to participate in the detox & rehab program. A Narconon student enrolls to learn something that he doesn’t already know. These situations may include but aren’t limited to life skills; the ability to operate in the present; exactly what drugs are and do; how to eliminate these long term drug effects; etc. The Narconon rehab program addresses the disability caused by drug use with new abilities and new skills for life.
