There is no mistaking it—drug abuse is a planet-wide epidemic. If you or someone you know is caught in the grip of addiction, you are no doubt living in your own personal nightmare. At Narconon, we do not believe an addict is an addict for life, therefore we do not believe addiction is an incurable disease. We believe in getting better and we believe a person trapped in the dwindling spiral of substance abuse can take their life back and live drug-free. How do we do it? That’s the Narconon difference.

In the United States today we have no shortage of drug treatment centers. According to drugabuse.gov, there are more than 14,500 treatment centers across the country. Most of these treatment centers are government-funded, receiving abundant government funding from local, state and federal taxpayers’ pockets. There are also treatment centers that exchange illegal street addictions for legalized addictions, such as suboxone and methadone clinics. It’s rare to find a treatment center that has an all-natural, drug-free approach to dealing with the underlying cause of addiction.

Narconon Arrowhead

Narconon Arrowhead is Narconon’s leading drug rehabilitation center. We have proven time and again that if a person can identify and overcome the initial problems that led to their addiction, they can ultimately regain their self-respect and self-control.

Drug-Free Withdrawal

For each student, a personal Narconon Arrowhead Withdrawal Specialist is on hand to assist them. Narconon utilizes nutrition and special techniques that ease discomfort and painful symptoms so that after withdrawal, the beginnings of a new and better life take hold.

New Life Detoxification

New Life Detoxification is based on the discoveries of humanitarian and author L. Ron Hubbard related to the way residues from drug or alcohol use are not completely eliminated from the body. Some traces get trapped in fatty tissues where they can have an effect on a person’s thinking and mood for many years. Further research revealed that many other toxic substances such as pesticides and radiation can also remain in the body, producing negative effects on one’s health or alertness.

The answer is the New Life Detoxification, an early step of the Narconon drug rehab program. Its purpose is to wash out the residual toxins that drug and alcohol consumption leave behind. These residues have proven to affect one’s outlook on life and even the ability to think clearly.

This step is composed of time spent sweating in a sauna after moderate exercise each day to get the blood moving. A very specific regimen of nutritional supplements spurs the body to eliminate these old toxins through the sweat where they can simply be showered away.

Those completing this step will tell you how much more energy they have and how much more clearly they can think. Many will also comment that their physical cravings are reduced or even gone. That’s a huge step forward for an individual whose cravings literally controlled his (or her) decisions and life for years.

The Objectives

Each person entering drug rehab carries with him heavy baggage from his time spent addicted. He has harmed others and has suffered trauma and harm himself. He may have been arrested or injured or constantly feared being arrested or beaten by drug dealers. With so much attention on his past, he has little or no attention left for the here and now. This is when the the Objectives can make a very big difference.

The purpose of Objectives is to bring the person out of the past and into present time—ready and able to confront life without resorting to drugs. Through a series of exercises all intended to improve a person’s perception and control of the present, each person can come out of the past and into a healthier way of thinking and controlling his own life.

Life Skills

Before a person goes home, it’s vital to strengthen the skills they will need to weather the ups and downs of daily life. This is done through practical coursework directed at building the specific life skills an individual needs to overcome obstacles or deal with setbacks. A person who resorted to drug use may have lost these skills during the time spent addicted or may never have developed them at all. Effective practice and learning lead to stability and a return of personal values and integrity. Just as important, these courses help a person develop the self-control and self-respect necessary to maintain a drug-free life.

Student Reviews of Narconon

“In many ways, Narconon changed my life; the sauna detoxification program is different and is definitely the best part of the program. The courses helped me develop life tools for when I graduated the program. I would recommend Narconon to anyone and everyone. Narconon Arrowhead is located on Lake Eufaula and is absolutely beautiful. I would go outside on the balcony and watch the sunrise and sunset every day.”
