Sobriety is Obtainable Through the Narconon Program
With the help of my sister in enrolling me, I arrived at Narconon Arrowhead. Since being here, I have made improvements in my life. I wake up with a purpose and drive I have never felt before. I’m healthier and happier, and I've got my desire to live back.
Becoming the Person I Was Born to Be
Thank you to all the staff members at Narconon Arrowhead and to the Narconon Program for this new person I have become. I am ready to start my new life clean and drug-free, with a different mindset, so that I can become the successful person I was born to be.

Moving Forward
My name is Dale, I’m 46 years old from New Mexico, and since completing the Narconon drug rehabilitation program in Oklahoma, I can honestly say my life has changed dramatically from a life going downhill in a hurry due to substance abuse to a much better life and a way more meaningful, lasting relationship with family and loved ones.
IMF: Illicitly Manufactured Fentanyl
The DEA's One Pill Can Kill campaign is not hype. How is fentanyl getting into so many drugs on the market and on the street?
From Nowhere: A Graduate’s Story
I use the word ‘nowhere’ not to describe my current situation but to convey to others where I was at in life. Before entering the Narconon program in 2014, my state of existence would best be described as a scene from a horror movie that, no matter how hard I tried, I could not escape.
Kratom – Not As Harmless As It’s Made Out To Be
“Kratom is okay because it’s plant-based.” “Kratom is harmless.” “Kratom doesn’t have any bad side effects.” “Kratom doesn’t have withdrawal symptoms.” Those statements are claims made by proponents of kratom. If that’s all you look at, you might think it’s safe to use kratom. But how much of that is actually true?
Xylazine Is Becoming Increasingly Destructive
As if opiates, and fentanyl specifically, weren't enough to battle, the addition of Xylazine to other street drugs is increasing the risk of using these drugs. Xylazine is a sedative used in veterinary medicine. It currently has no approved uses for humans because of its adverse effects of necrotic skin ulcers if injected, sedation, difficulty breathing, dangerously low blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, slowed heart rate, and coma.
Overcoming Ups and Downs After Rehab
I just wanted to take a moment to share a major success I had last night! The Ups and Downs in Life course part of the Narconon program provides to tools to determine the positive and difficult people in your life and it was very helpful to me because I have difficult people in my family (I’m sure I am not the only one).
I am 36 Years Drug-Free
I was born and raised in a small town in northern California. I had a good life before taking drugs. I first started using drugs when I was 9 or 10 years old. It started with smoking pot. I used drugs up until I was 28 or 29 years old. I had lost everything by the time I stopped.
