How to Spot a Narconon Graduate
Narconon has proven time and again that if a person can identify and overcome the initial problems that lead to their addiction, they can ultimately regain their self-respect and self-control. As part of our commitment to bring about a drug-free world, we provide both drug and alcohol treatment for those already addicted to illicit substances and drug education to at-risk youth.
First, we don’t have “patients” or “victims” or “addicts.” We have students—students who are learning to live a successful drug-free life. Here, every detail has been taken into account to give those students the stability and comfort they need to help free themselves from addiction and rebuild their lives without drugs.
Every now and again, you’ll see our “How to Spot” series titled “How to Spot an Ecstasy User”, or “How to Spot a Heroin Addict”, etc. We use these blog series to educate parents and other loved ones about drug and alcohol abuse as each substance have different key signs that would indicate a person is abusing drugs and/or alcohol. We want parents and loved ones to intervene or call us and let us help assist you to intervene. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 67,000 Americans died last year from drug overdoses—that’s more deaths than terrorist attacks, police killings, HIV, gun violence, and car crashes combined.
Therefore, we find our mission incredibly important.
Yet, is it easy to spot a Narconon Graduate? Probably not, they are fully recovered and look like a normal human should look. They aren’t addicts for life, they aren’t stuck in their past, these people are living full lives.

No! These people are living.

Narconon uses a series of techniques found nowhere else to help addicts overcome drug and alcohol dependencies and their damaging effects. This is done naturally—there are no substitute drugs in the Narconon program. At Narconon, we look to address the causes of addiction—to get at what drove a person to drugs in the first place. The goal is a drug-free life.

I regained my life back at Narconon; the staff is amazing and very helpful, they genuinely care about your well-being and they will equip you with tools to make better decisions in the future. The facilities are top quality as well as the food—this was definitely the best decision my family and I ever did for my future.

I am happy to complete the program. It took a lot of patience and discipline to get through each phase, but I eventually saw the importance of each part. I learned a lot about myself and I also learned valuable techniques and solutions that can help me in my life. I am excited to get back to my family and prove to them I have changed my way of thinking.
