 The Narconon Program
Description - A Drug Free Approach
he Atlanta Recovery /
Narconon Drug Rehab program is a combination of the Narconon New Life Program
and life skills training. . After a complete medical evaluation, the Drug Rehab
program is delivered in 2 phases comprising a series of distinct sections
designed to complement and expand on each other.
**Medical Evaluation- Clients will have a
complete medical examination by the staff doctor (M.D.) which will include
blood and lab work tests to insure that the client has or can still obtain
optimum health for his body and mind.
Phase
I:
Drug Free Withdrawal/
Orientation/ stabilization - Assist the individual to cease current
drug use rapidly and with minimal discomfort through proper nutrition,
vitamins, and care from experienced Staff. Staff provides 24 hour a day care
during this period until the client is stable.
Communications Section -
This section extroverts the student and gets him into better
communication with others and his environment. An addict can be quite deficient
in his ability to communicate and confront others as witnessed in most by their
tendency to withdraw from life. This area will need a lot of work and is
further addressed later in the program. The first section is an elementary
introduction back into life and is vital for success with the next phase of
Drug Rehab.
The Body Health Sauna Cleansing /
Exercise program - An exact regimen of exercise, dry-heat sauna, and
nutritional supplements that rid the fatty tissues in the body of drug residues
and other accumulated toxins. The end result finds the client with increased
mental acuity, higher energy levels, greater cognitive and awareness levels, an
increased sense of general well being, and the elimination of the biophysical
drug craving.
The Learning Improvement Section
- Drug abuse studies show a distinct correlation between poor school
performance and drug use. This section gives the client the ability to study
and retain knowledge by recognizing and overcoming the barriers to study and
learning. Learning is a vital tool to be used during the Drug Rehab regimen and
throughout the remainder of life.
The Ups
& Downs in Life Section - Teaches the necessary knowledge to
achieve greater personal stability and happiness in life. The client learns to
find real friends, relations, and associates that will help him throughout his
life. Plus he learns to identify those that will bring him down or are only
interested in him for something from which they can prosper. It is an
observable fact the drug addict usually has a circle of friends that are
actually a liability to him, here he will learn to make good solid
relationships.
The Way To Happiness Section
- Teaches the client a secular moral code as a guide to living a
happy life, a good common sense guide to build a firm foundation for living,
bringing up the clients own morals and values with it.
Phase II:
The Communication & Perception Section - A
form of cognitive treatment that is applied through specific exercises and
drills. The end result is an individual who no longer automatically reacts to
situations. Instead, he now thinks out rationally and logically what to do to
enhance his own survival. This section is the advanced part of the original
communications section started earlier in the program. The client helps another
do the exercises. By taking responsibility for helping another, the client
increases his own responsibility levels and gains the ability to handle life.
The Personal Values & Integrity Section -
We have all heard the old adage " Confession is good for the soul"
the 12 step programs uses it as step four "personal moral inventory".
Narconon® finds it vital for an individual to rid himself of the shame,
guilt, baggage, chips on the shoulders, etc. The only way our clients do that
completely is through taking responsibility. This section works by raising the
client's responsibility level and then gives him the knowledge necessary to
determine one's own values and achieve high personal integrity and honesty.
The Changing Conditions in Life Section -
After one learns to assume responsibility for their life and their
behaviors in the above section it will be necessary to repair certain areas of
destruction that came about due to their drug use. This section teaches the
exact steps that improve current conditions in life and repair previous bad
conditions. Some of that repair may need to be done after discharge from the
drug rehab program and that is why this section will often blend with the next.
Discharge and After care planning Section
- This final section serves as support for the client. After
completing the residential stage of treatment, they will then be ready for the
transition back into society. An aftercare program will be uniquely tailored to
the individual and will encompass several areas: Support systems, Lifestyle
changes, Educational planning, Financial planning, self-enhancement goals,
Relationships, Living arrangements, and Social / Spiritual development.
**Family Involvement Section- There is an
additional section that is uniquely tailored for the family, as the family has
been subject to the addiction as well. At times it is found that the family is
in need of repair as well. It is not uncommon for the family of the client to
actually be an active participant in the aftercare plan. Each client varies so
there are no set requirements for the family involvement.
Atlanta Recovery / Narconon vs. Traditional
Short-Term Treatment.
 As discussed above the
Atlanta Recovery- Narconon Drug Rehab program, unlike more traditional
treatment, deals with the biophysical aspect of addiction as well as the mental
and emotional. The Client is restored both mentally and physically, to the
person he was before he began using drugs or alcohol. The end result is a
success rate that is 3 times that of other programs. |
