It is understandable that the parent of an alcoholic or addict would want to know everything about the drug treatment center they choose for their child. Narconon understands this and wants to put minds at ease. Narconon is one of the most successful addiction recovery centers in the world and offers comprehensive treatment. They have a long term, residential, drug-free, secular program. For over 40 years, they have been helping people young and old break free from addiction following a proven method of recovery.

A Comprehensive Program

Students first entering the Narconon program will most likely go through withdrawal. This happens when an addict goes without their drug of choice for any period of time. Withdrawal can be difficult, but the unpleasant effects are eased with natural and comprehensive methods. Comprehensive means treating the entire person; physically, mentally and educationally. Although the program is secular, Narconon encourages people to draw upon their own beliefs to help them during the recovery process. Throughout the program, vitamins, nutritional supplements, exercise and the use of a sauna help to draw out all drugs from the addict’s body. This process is done after the initial withdrawal.

From that point, the student is much more clear minded and able to focus on the courses which will help them to remain drug-free once they graduate. These courses begin by helping the student “learn how to learn”. It helps the student learn to retain information better. Other courses include improving communication and understanding addiction. Addiction often comes about because of a lack of understanding of how to deal with stress. If an individual cannot deal with stress, they sometimes try to escape it, and drugs are a good way to do just that. The Narconon drug rehabilitation program includes several courses designed to help the addicts understand themselves better. It is a process of discovery.

The Narconon Program Is not a Day at the Beach

Each student must go through withdrawal, and also face some tough facts about themselves. They must face the actions they have chosen, including the hurt caused by the addiction. They must come face to face with who they are and what they have done. Parents are an important part of recovery because they are able to support the student during this process. Parents understand, however, that there must sometimes be a hurt involved before there can be healing. They can take comfort in the fact that their child will come out of the program a better person overall. The child will be able to take responsibility for what they have done and the choices they have made.

Not Only the Students Must Be Strong, But the Parents as Well.

As parents, we want to protect our children. When children make terrible choices, such as turning to drugs, they must face the consequences in order to learn from it. Wise parents understand that it is all part of the process. Narconon encourages parents to be an active part of their child’s recovery. Where the child cannot always see the big picture, the parents can. Parents know that in the end, their child will be happier, healthier and most importantly; drug-free.

Parents are welcome to speak with a Narconon representative about the program in more detail. Help is available whenever it is needed. Many Narconon Drug Rehabilitation centers are owned by parents of former addicts, so they understand the feelings involved with making the decision to get help for a teen. Narconon stands ready to help the parents and the child to push forward to living a drug-free live.
