Unfortunately, much of the drug is drawn to the fatty tissues that surround blood vessels and becomes trapped before the body has a chance to get rid of it. Studies have shown that drug residuals can stay in fatty tissues for years, and build up every time more drugs are taken. Physical drug cravings occur when an amount of the drug that is lodged in the fatty tissue is released back into the blood stream and flows to the brain. When the drug reaches the brain, it reminds the person of the times when he or she used that type of drug in the past and wants more of it. In other words, it acts as an appetizer... “…and that’s what triggers drug or alcohol cravings which are almost impossible to resist!”It would be like trying to quit smoking while continuing to smoke 1 or 2 cigarettes per day.This can happen any time the person’s body burns fat for energy. Normal life situations like stress, exercise or anger can dislodge drugs within the fatty tissues into the bloodstream, where they flow to the brain and cause drug cravings. How Do You Get
|
 |
Reduction or elimination of drug and alcohol cravings. |
|
Reduction or elimination of many symptoms associated
with drug addiction and alcoholism. These can include depression,
irritability, and fatigue. |
|
Ability to think more clearly. |
|
Improved memory and attention span. |
|
Increased energy. |
|
Increased sense of well being. |
|
Enthusiasm toward Life |
That's how the program works…
|
The
exercise causes the body to burn more fat and unleash
the drug residuals back into the bloodstream. |
|
Induced sweating
in a sauna accelerates the removal of drugs and other chemicals
from the body. |
|
The nutritional
supplements used are an exact regimen of vitamin, mineral, and
oil intake. |
The program also includes...
|
A regular
diet including vegetables. |
|
Sufficient liquids to offset the loss of body fluids through sweating. |
|
A properly ordered personal schedule which provides the person with the normally required amount of sleep. |
Students are on this program up to 5 hours per day, every day until the detox is complete.
It takes on average 15 to 30 days, but some may take longer than a month to fully detoxify and prepare for rehab.
The cost of the full program remains the same.
The program is results driven. One graduates from the detoxification section when a stable clinical improvement is achieved.
And the program is backed up by numerous studies. Below is a study done by 4 scientists.
Excerpt from a presentation to the 123rd Annual Meeting of the American Public Health Association "...Prior to treatment, their chief symptomatic complaints included fatigue, irritability, depression, intolerance of stress, reduced attention span and decreased mental acuity." " Following treatment, both past and current users reported marked improvements in symptoms with most returning to normal range." Megan Shields, M.D.; F. Tennant, M.D.,
Dr. P.H.; Shelley Beckmann, Ph.D.; and R. Michael Wisner. |
Important Note: The Detoxification program is only ONE step of the full Narconon rehabilitation program and only eliminates the physical cause of addiction. The full program takes on average 3 to 5 months to complete. The students progress at their own pace and must attain the full gains of each step before they can move the next.
Important Note: This Detox Method isn’t Only Helping Drug Users or Alcoholics, It's Also Used by Other Organization Around the World…The Narconon Detox Program also rid the body of legal medications, pesticide and many other toxins which the body has absorbed through the years. This is why many New York rescue workers who helped at Ground zero have used this detoxification method. Here's The Story...Shortly after they were exposed to large quantities of toxins in the air at ground Zero, many rescue workers began to complain about severe health issues. Some of these health problems included asthma attacks, nightmares, insomnia, chest pain, memory loss, low attention span and more. Worst of all, their health problems were still persisting and even worsening a year after September 11. The rescue workers who completed the detoxification program experienced drastic improvements, and some of them reported that their physical and mental state is now even better than before September 11. While the program is currently delivered under a different name, it’s exactly the same program. Here are some of the real life cases: Case

Now that you’ve eliminated physical drug cravings, what about mental addiction?
Drugs and alcoholism change people.
There is such a thing as a “drug personality.” It is artificial and is created by drugs.
An alcoholic or a drug user will eventually begin to show some of these
characteristics:
|
Mood swings |
|
Unreliable |
|
Unable to finish projects |
|
Unexpressed resentment and secret hatreds. |
|
Dishonesty |
|
Lies to family, friends, employers |
|
Withdraws from those who love him. Isolates self. |
|
Depression |
|
May begin stealing from family and friends |
As you can see, while a person continues to drink or take drugs, he or she becomes more and more depressed, dishonest, secretive and less responsible.
It’s the drug personality that causes drug users and alcoholics to commit wrong doings.
As they continue to make bad choices, their guilt increases, they withdraw from those who love them and fall deeper into anxiety and depression.
And while their actions get more and more out of control and they become more engulfed in their guilt and anxiety, drug users gradually looses the ability to hold a job, pay the bills or have a normal relationship with someone.
In short...
It’s the drug personality that creates the guilt and many other miserable feelings...and causes drug users to gradually loose the ability to control their emotions, their thoughts and control their environment.
Think about it...When you feel miserable, sad, guilty, or depressed, are you more or less able to control your emotions and your thoughts?
Drug users have painful memories of drug use and the circumstances surrounding the drug use.
While a drug user is fighting his guilt, anxiety and physical discomfort, any factor in his present environment that was connected to drugs can cause these memories to resurface and trigger powerful physical and mental reactions... and the desire for drugs!
Here's an example...
If you speak to a heroin addict who used tin foil to inhale his drug, he may tell you that the mere sight of tin foil can cause his mouth to dry and trigger a desire for heroin.
This is true for all drug users, whether the drug of choice is heroin, cocaine, crack, crystal meth, marijuana, or any other illegal or legal drugs.
And that's a big problem...
Here are some examples of things that can cause metal drug carvings:
|
A street where you used to buy drugs |
|
Straws, if you used them to snort your drug of choice |
|
Pipes, |
|
Tin foils |
|
Syringes |
|
Movie scenes with drugs or alcohol |
|
Etc |
Fortunately this discovery leads us to a solution...
The Narconon Rehabilitation program has a series of drill and courses designed to increase your ability to think clearly and the exact life skills you need to loose your addiction.
In other words, Once we give a drug user the ability to feel good, cope with life more comfortably, and face problems without the need for drugs, a drug user would loose his mental addiction.
That is a bold claim that is backed up by 39 years of studies and results.
Once students graduate from the Narconon Program, they are NO longer addicts or alcoholics.
After graduating, they have:
|
NO physical drug cravings. |
|
Better abilities to confront situations in life. |
|
Higher abilities to communicate and to resolve problems through communication. |
|

and retain knowledge along with the ability to recognize
and overcome barriers to study and learning. |
|
Improved ability to handle
the environment and control his life. |
|
The ability to spot and
handle those influences in his environment that would cause
him to lose any gains he has made. |
|
The ability to improve
his survival potential and how to correct contra-survival
behavior by ridding himself of past harmful deeds. |
|
The exact step-by-step
technology to improve his life, repair previous bad conditions
and keep winning. |

And best of all, while other rehab programs require their graduates to attend group counseling years after graduating...
With their new found abilities, and the eradication of the drug cravings, Narconon graduates are able to live fulfilling lives on their own.
Narconon staff continues to keep in touch for 2 years to make sure that all is fine.
And if you think that your case is incurable...
For the past 39 years, the Narconon Rehabilitation Program was run on drug users, alcoholics and “incurable” addicts who kept reverting back to drugs.
No matter the addiction, or the drug, Drug users and alcoholics were able to eradicate their cravings and successfully deal with every day life the way they should.
As proof, the Narconon program was tested in Jails around the world with even higher success rates.
A 4.5 year study was done in the Ensenada Prison. Over 90% of the inmates inside the prison were addicted to and still using heroin while incarcerated.
The participants ranged from hired killers and drug dealers, to those with robbery convictions.
Out of the 1004 participants who were released, only 124 reverted to the old ways...
These 124 participants who reverted back to the old ways had been released from jail BEFORE they had the chance to finish the full Narconon Rehabilitation Program.
In other words... All the participants who have completed the program stayed out of jail.

Just look at what graduates are saying...
"I became aware of my addiction when snorting Oxycontin was not enough anymore, and I began to shoot it. Prior to that, I participated in recreational drug use since the age of 14. I went through the progression that one hears about so often; pot and alcohol, to LSD and ecstasy and cocaine, and ketamine, pharmaceuticals and then heroin." "The last years of my heroin addiction were the scariest times I could ever imagine anyone going through. I stole, lied, spent most of my day in the pursuit of opiates, and did all the terrible and pointless things that addicts do. When it came to the point that I was hiding from my probation officer and the law, and living either in the woods or in friends' closets for weeks, I decided that I needed to get help that would actually work. I did not want to do another 12 step program that would make me feel like I would never stop using and my life was just an endless cycle of relapses." "I walked home the afternoon of my decision, and my parents, in a last ditch effort to save the daughter they once knew, told me to find a program. I went online and filled out a questionnaire on a site that a friend had referred me to. Within hours, I received a call from a counselor at Narconon Arrowhead. Two days later I was in sunny Oklahoma." "The technology of the NARCONON® Program is unlike any other and I can't give enough thanks and gratitude to my parents and the creator of that technology, Mr. L. Ron Hubbard, because there is really no other program out there that will change a tired and hopeless addict into a productive, happy, and sane individual again. "Anyone who's done the Narconon program could tell you of the carefully laid out steps that guide one to an ultimately empowered and aware state where one's life becomes so much clearer. For me, what's really done it has been the ongoing drive to learn more and help others out of similar predicaments. I am now a staff member at Arrowhead and my whole life has changed. I am a respected and mature adult, with a family who believes in me again. I am married to a moral and upstanding man and work doing the most important and rewarding job in the world. I am healthy and clear about my future, and though I do not like the things that I did in my past, I have taken the steps to clear my conscience and make up the damage I have done to my loved ones so that I could learn and grow from these misdeeds. I do not know of any other program that helps someone do that." "For anyone out there that is struggling with addiction and wants to be free, for anyone who has a loved one or a neighbor or friend that needs a permanent solution, there is a program that will help once and for all." T.P. - Narconon Arrowhead Graduate "How I Overcome Addiction""My name is Luigi and I am 26 years of age. I am originally from Galesburg, IL. I started using cocaine sporadically while I was enrolled as a student at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Over time, my friends and I began to use cocaine on an every weekend basis. During this time, I felt as though I was in total control over my usage of the drug, and rationalized that it was not negatively affecting my life. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, and then went back to Galesburg to live with my parents and search for the best job." "While in Galesburg, I found that many of my old "friends" were using cocaine as well. I began to use it more frequently, and in larger amounts. I knew that I was beginning to like the drug more and more, and began to worry that I might be developing an addiction. I was offered an excellent engineering position with a company in Venice, FL, and I took it. I was glad to leave the drug scene in my hometown and excited to start my new career in Florida. After three months, my career was looking great and I loved my job. However, some problems soon arose in my life that I had difficulty confronting." "I found myself overwhelmed with undesirable emotions, and in a miserable state of existence. I began to crave cocaine, and turned towards its use as the solution of my problems. I soon reverted back to my old behavior, and made friends with those in the drug culture. I began using cocaine on the weekends, and periodically during the week. It did not take long before I began using it on a daily basis, and I knew that I was in trouble. However, I could not stop no matter how much I wanted to. Cocaine completely took control of my life, and I was no longer in the driver's seat." "The conditions of all aspects of my life including my career were plummeting. I continued through the downward spiral of addiction, and distanced myself from all that was good in my life, including family, friends, and co-workers. My addiction then advanced to crack cocaine. After nearly being killed by drug dealers, I finally came to terms that I needed out and that I could not do it alone... "My parents tried to help me and I pushed them away. I took off and maxed out all of my credit cards, liquidated all of my financial accounts, and sold all of my assets. I needed cocaine, and nothing was going to get into my way. I spent near $150,000.00 over two years on cocaine until there was nothing left. I burned every bridge with friends, and I put my whole family through a living hell." "I finally checked myself into a 21-day inpatient 12-step rehabilitation program. I was miserable the whole time there, but I put forth my best effort to overcoming my addiction..I relapsed after 2 weeks. I continued with my miserable existence of living with friends and family and relapsing every few weeks, breaking what little trust I had with them over and over." "...I would have rather died then to have continued on this way. I went home to my family after a 3 day relapse with no sleep, and told them that I was going to die if I did not go somewhere for a long time to handle this. I researched the internet with my mother for days and contacted a handful of rehabilitation programs." "One of the inpatient programs that I was investigating was the Narconon® program at the Narconon Arrowhead facility. I was especially interested in this program because it offered a solution to the biophysical aspects of addiction by means of a sauna detoxification program. It also interested me because it followed up by handling the mental and emotional aspects of addiction through a series of courses and counseling rather than in a group therapy setting..." "My family and I decided that this would be the best program for me. I completed the Narconon program after 4 ½ months, and I was blown away by the results that I achieved throughout the entirety of the program. I consider myself to be a fully recovered addict now, and I am a happier, more stable, and competent person then I was before my addiction ever began. I never experience drug cravings, and I tackle all problems that I face in life head on. I understand myself better, and I no longer carry around the burden of my horrible past. I almost gave up my will to live during my addiction, especially after I lost hope that there could be a solution." "I am very fortunate to have found this program..."
