Medical
and Scientific support for the Rehabilitation Program
In
the medical, scientific, and chemical dependency treatment communities there
has been a long-standing controversy as to a correct treatment philosophy. Most
are empty arguments without any concrete proof and based on bias, this is
obviously apparent in the relapse rates of those who try treatment and fail
miserably only to try the same treatment again and again, only to fail over and
over. In time the individual will usually resign himself to a hopeless dimly
lit future. Below is information that is clinically proven by medical experts
in the field of Substance abuse treatment that clearly points to the correct
approach, which is utilized by Atlanta Recovery Narconon.
