 A Message from Emory Johnson, M.D., M.P.H., Assistant Surgeon
General, United States Public Health Service (retired)… " True
rehabilitation means the repairing and reclaiming of broken lives and
relationships; the commitment to mend these broken lives is clearly evident at
Narconon. I have reviewed and followed the growth and development of Narconon's
program in Oklahoma since its inception in 1990. Over the course of several
visits, I have had the opportunity to speak with both recovering addicts and
Narconon staff. The most remarkable thing about these encounters has been the
overwhelming sense of hope, the certainty that the steps of the Narconon
program can return addicts to stable and productive lives".

I have been with the Narconon / Atlanta Recovery Program for about 3
months now and the changes within me, physically, mentally, and spiritually
have been nothing short of miraculous. I see it, my family sees it, but more
importantly I feel it deep within myself. The technology used and the
information provided by the program has given me strength and control that I
never knew I had. I am sure it's always been there, but I've finally found a
means of tapping into it.
The Sauna Detoxification program, simple
realization techniques, and a core understanding of my own personal ethics have
all been crucial to my recovery and successive growth. My outlook on life is
now one of understanding and opportunity. Times will change, people and
problems will come and go, but my simple, confident resolve to remain a
productive and spiritually motivated person will not likely diminish.
When I return home., I will rejoin with friend... and family who are content
and constructive in their lives. Conversely, to the people there who are
negative, angry, and destructive, I say "fare ye well". If nothing more, they
have already been left behind. My name is B.T. I once had a problem. Now, I do
not- I am back. And I've never been better. God bas given me a second chance
and I intend to run with it. It no longer seems a matter of choice, but rather
a matter of… I don't know…destiny, maybe.
Sincerely
B.T---Graduate November 2002

While I was
killing myself my parents were doing everything they could to help me. My
father began researching drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers on the
Internet. We were all scared because we knew of many 12-step, 28-day rehabs
that others had tried and that didn't work. My parents did not want to gamble
with my life, and they knew it wouldn't be long before I killed myself. I was
slowly dying.
After extensive research my dad found a rehabilitation
center called Narconon. It was a non-traditional center that handled the
physical cravings first, then the mental. It was also an extended 3-6 month
program with a 76 percent success rate. Based on the data my parents were
convinced that this was what would save my life but I wasn't. I had gone so
long without being sober that I didn't think I could do it. So I refused. One
morning I woke up sick, again, from another drug binge. I got to a phone and
dialed the number that my mother had given me 'just in case.' I spoke to a
counselor who assured me that everything would be ok if I was just willing to
try. making that decision was one of the hardest things I've ever had to
do.
I hopped on a plane and was then driven to the Narconon center
where I went through a drug-free withdrawal. I was so scared to kick again,
that is the hardest thing for a drug addict to face, but because of the
vitamins I was given I got through it. I was finally ready to start on the road
to recovery. Going through my program I confronted everything I couldn't
confront for all those years. For four months I went through the hardest and
most fulfilling thing I had ever done in my life. The program initially deals
with the physical part of drug addiction and then moves on to the mental. The
Narconon program deals with all aspects of addiction by restoring the addict
and giving them a new life.
One day I looked at myself in the mirror
and for the first time I didn't hate who I was. I was finally happy. I was
content and I had won. I beat my addiction. The whole time I never needed drugs
to take away pain and to make me feel good. Thanks to the Narconon Program I
could finally do it all by myself.
