Narconon International

"Narconon has a unique position in the rehabilitation field. It offers addicts a relatively painless, drug-free withdrawal — something that most addicts and professionals consider impossible."

Alfonso Paredes, M.D., UCLA School of Medicine

Founded in Arizona State Prison over three decades ago, Narconon has enabled drug abusers to overcome their addiction and lead stable, productive and ethical lives. The continuously growing Narconon network currently comprises more than 70 centers in 30 countries.

An essential—and unique—element of the Narconon approach to rehabilitation is a sauna sweat-out detoxification program that enables Narconon clients to eliminate drug residues from their bodies and become free from persistent drug cravings. Narconon students also complete a series of life skills courses that enable them to understand and remedy the life situations that precipitated their drug abuse.

Narconon drug prevention education programs have presented the truth about drugs and their effects to over a million young people. Follow-up studies have validated the effectiveness of these programs.

The Narconon programs offer:

• Residential and out-patient substance abuse treatment
• Substance abuse prevention education
• Training for substance abuse counselors in drug-free withdrawal, treatment and prevention strategies
