read what parents of Narconon Arrowhead graduates have to
say:
»
On
the 28th of April 2000, we attended our son's graduation ceremony at Narconon
Arrowhead. Our son's graduation event will forever be etched in our memory as a
rebirth of our child. It had been so many years since we had seen him drug- or
alcohol-free that we actually had a hard time recognizing him. He looked
absolutely wonderful and his behavior was so accepting and calm. For years, we
had wondered if we would ever see our "real" son again. We met so many people
the evening of our son's graduation and we cannot remember all of their names,
but we want to thank each person who took the time and effort to make a
difference in our son's life. Your efforts are most likely the reason our son
developed the will to change, as all other efforts that had been made through
the years had not made a difference for him. You are truly the savers of life!
We will never forget your faces or the wonderful things you are doing.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
» My son was a
bright talented child. He learned to play the guitar and had a natural ability
to draw and paint. In his teens something happened to this bright, talented
child. I found out later that he had gotten into drugs and barely finished high
school. He could not hold a job and his only financial support was a family who
"gave him money to keep him away". This went on for twelve years, in which time
he was a waste to himself and others. After trying numerous "Drug Rehab
Programs" I found Narconon Arrowhead. I took him to Arrowhead as an emaciated
"end-of-the-trail person". In a short time he regained his health and became
himself again. Most importantly, he became free of drugs. My son now has a
family of his own. He is very productive in working with others to help them
gain their own self-esteem back and to become free of the ravages of drug use.
My son and I have never been closer or had such a good relationship as father
and son. Narconon Arrowhead not only gave my son back to me, but also gave me a
very good friend. There are no words to define what the Narconon® program means to my family.
» Just a personal
note of thanks for allowing me to be a guest at Narconon Arrowhead to learn
about your procedures and to visit my son Joseph, one of your students (Joseph
graduated from the Narconon® program). Thanks to you he
celebrated his 9th month of sobriety on April 25th, for which we are all
grateful.
I studied with professional interest the 9 points (courses)
of your program, namely, Drug-free Withdrawal, Communications, New Life
Detoxification Procedure, Learning Improvement, Communication and Perceptions,
Ups and Downs in Life, Personal Values and Integrity, Changing Conditions in
Life, and The Way to Happiness®. We cover these same areas, but
not with the excellent books you have.
During my four
days I added to my professional competence as an addictions outpatient
counselor by talking with students and staff. I was able to see what a focused,
intensive program such as yours at Narconon Arrowhead can accomplish in helping
people turn around. I was impressed with the level of motivation in the
students, and I like the use of the term "student" because it points out the
reason why they are there - namely, to learn a new way to live.
After seeing the results of your work and speaking to members
of the staff I feel that you have much to teach the drug rehabilitation field
and Araphoe House. This was a rewarding personal visit for me as well as an
information-packed professional visit for which I am grateful.
