What is the Narconon Program

The Narconon Nevada program itself is unique in its entirety. A number of components make up Narconon's high success rate. Foremost, you must understand Narconon is not a traditional 12 step program. Most treatment centers today rely on a combination of 12 step recovery methods along with group therapy to handle the addiction problem. While some people respond to this type of treatment, unfortunately the majority does not. In fact, similar to the staggeringly low percentage of people who are able to stop on their own, only 10 to 20 percent of people who go through traditional treatment successfully end their drug or alcohol using "career" for life. At Narconon, just the opposite is happening. Approximately 7 out of 10 people permanently conquer their addiction after completing the program.

1. Physical Detoxification - Long-term use of addictive drugs can cause an accumulation of drug residues and metabolites in the body. These residues can remain in the body for years, causing drug and alcohol cravings along with drug-induced depression.

2. Life Skills - Many people do not realize that some of the most common abilities and skills which they use everyday are not instinctual, but rather are learned. These are all areas in which drug addicts and alcoholics have been found to be deficient. These are NOT instinctive abilities. They require training and practice to perfect. The Narconon program gives heavy emphasis to life-skills training. Some of the areas addressed are communication skills, study skills, and applying ethical principles in everyday life.
