“I
have never liked the concept of using drugs and medication to solve the
problems created by drugs and medication. There is a place for medication
but it is defined and limited. Therefore, from the very beginning of my
practice it was a serious concern for me to know where I could refer patients
for help. “As a doctor it was evident to me that the long-term physical, mental and emotional consequences of drug use had something to do with the residual effects of the drugs themselves. This was clearly the case as well with environmental and industrial toxins. “Customary medical procedures held no solution to this problem of drug and toxic residuals. Various “treatments” have been proffered, ranging from the psychiatric viewpoint of getting the person to believe that the problem he was experiencing from toxins was all in his mind, to the administration of drugs to suppress the symptoms exhibited. These “treatments” only served to compound the problem. But with the release of the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program which utilized the researches of L Ron Hubbard, I discovered that we had a solution at hand. “Addicts characteristically subordinate values such as work, family relationships, and community responsibilities to the ingestion and unwise use of alcohol and/or drugs. Social neglect and criminal behavior are frequent companions of drug abuse and alcoholism. Efforts to develop a functional normative system, as it is done by Narconon, should result in favorable outcomes. Narconon has demonstrated that this redefinition of the normative system of addicts is possible to implement with empathy, compassion, and respect for the addict.” Alfonzo Paredes, Sr., MD Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA School of Medicine Board certified in Psychiatry and Neurology |
“The
depression, hopelessness and fear which so often accompany such problems were
evident in many of my patients. Upon completion of the Narconon program,
to which I had referred them, these persons were changed both physically and
mentally. The common theme expressed by those who completed it is that
they were no longer encumbered by chemicals which were shutting off their
lives. They expressed increased mental clarity and new hope for the
future. Their lives upon completion of the program were happier,
healthier, and more productive. Beyond the detoxification program, the
benefits of the Narconon practical life skills courses were an important part
of their stable recovery. I was pleased to see even the most
“hard-core”, seemingly hopeless cases recuperate and salvage their
lives. “There is not often good news in our struggle with the consequences of alcohol and drug abuse in our society. I am happy to say that the Narconon program is good news. I encourage you to review it carefully and consider using it. Many years ago I did and I have been able to help save many lives as a result.” Megan Shields, MD Graduate of the Medical College of Virginia Diplomate of the American Board of Family Practice “Speaking from my twenty-plus years of experience in the field of substance abuse prevention and treatment and the evaluation of over fifty treatment settings, I can confidently state that the Narconon program is a comprehensive residential treatment modality that addresses all of the indicators that have been clinically shown to precipitate and prolong addiction. “The Narconon program rates as highly in physical, administrative and clinical expertise as many of the other prestigious programs that I have surveyed. In terms of outcome, I believe it is far above.” Lead CARF Surveyor Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission (Previously known as the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) |

Statement from a Court Official “What Narconon has done in the Ensenada prison project is life-changing. I saw some of Mexico’s worst prisoners, hardened criminals, who had been addicted to heroin for years before this program, acting and talking like Eagle Scouts. They had genuine hope and enthusiasm for life. I believe every prisoner in America needs the opportunity to experience this.” N.A. Florida State Judge |
