Narconon of Georgia

A Narconon drug treatment student wrote this message for other students and staff, as she reflected over her life this holiday season.

Last holiday season, my life was a mess.  The Easter before, I had shown up to my family’s dinner totally wasted, nodding out over my dinner plate.  As a result, I had officially been uninvited to all future holidays until I decided to clean my life up.  My dad felt bad that nobody else wanted me at Thanksgiving dinner last year, so he came and met me at a restaurant and then we went to see a movie.   I had plans to go to another dinner with another friend, but I also needed to score some dope.    I only spent a little time with my friend after getting the heroin.  I wanted to be alone in my own bathroom with my quarter ounce.

A lot has changed since then, I am no longer a slave to drug addiction.  I have been at Narconon for four months.  I haven’t been strung out and every day I wake up happy and healthy.  I’m not dope sick anymore.  I feel better than I ever have since I started using drugs.  I talk to my family all the time and they are happy that I am doing so well and am healthy.

Spending the holidays at Narconon is going to be awesome.  I look forward to spending my time with friends that I have made here.  They are also grateful that they are sober and healthy and everything we do as a group is fantastic.

I look forward to the many happy holidays that I will be spending with my family and friends in the future, because I spend this time at Narconon drug treatment.

Opiates

This success story is written by a Narconon student who came to drug treatment as an opiate abuser. Drug Addiction took over his life.  Heroin and Oxycontin had him introverted and out of touch with the world.

Now through objectives he is in communication with himself and the world.

“Today on this exercise I feel I have gained more control over my body and my brain-body coordination is better.  Using drugs had dulled my senses and often time I would feel out of touch and out of control.  I have already noticed better reflexes and better control over my movement.

When throwing a football, for example I have noticed certain points in my motion that I had forgotten about that I am able to critique.  After high school when I started using drugs, I would throw and I was convinced I had lost my abilities.  But now I am remembering things from former coaches as early as freshman year.

I am also noticing the feel of things I touch more – like the surfaces and softness or hardness of objects.  I am excited to see all the other way in which my brain and body communication will improve the quality of my life.  This has been awesome. “

Narconon boasts a 76% success rate among graduations of the Narconon program.  Here is one of their successes after the sauna portion of the program….

Before I came to sauna I was lost and in a constant daze.  When I first got there to be honest I thought it was going to be pointless and wasn’t going to help me.  I had no energy and no spirit really.  All I could think about was dope.  After a week or so I could feel the weight of drugs lift and the fog in my head start to lift.  It seemed like everyday I was getting better.  For the longest time I had lost the feeling in my finger tips.  Somehow the sauna brought the feeling back.  I felt better than I ever had and energy and really a lot more hope I had in myself.  Now I am clear minded and I never think about drugs anymore and when I do I don’t want to do them like I used to.  I had a lot of realizations and wins.  I feel great and I look a lot better.  My family can even tell the difference in my voice.  It made a believer out of me and I will recommend the New Life detoxification program as a necessity to anybody who wants to get clean.

Narconon offers sauna detoxification along with real world study so that the student realizes what made them start using drugs and how to live without drugs in their lives.  Drug addiction doesn’t have to be a death sentence, you can survive with help.

Reflection

Abusing drugs like heroin, methamphetamines, cocaine, pot and prescription drugs can make a person lose control of their life and lead to drug addiction.  Even small tasks can become difficult.  The Objectives section of the Narconon drug treatment program helps a person take back control of their life.

“I realized that the decision to start, change and stop things is up to me.  I have the power and that is awesome.  Before, I was leaving situations up to other people to handle.  I would leave control up to others.  That made for a lot of randomness in my life and things were out of control.  During this exercise it hit me – I am the one who is in control!

I am happy to have this new found power.”

When I got to this fine establishment January 23^rd. I was an absolute mess.  I had given up on everything, I had a very serious addiction to Xanax.

By using the technology I’ve learned from the program I will never see the day the way I saw it on Jan 23^rd.

Drug addiction is a very powerful thing which takes control of your entire life and sends you down a dark and lonely hole.
Narconon helps people overcome these addictions with education, sauna and counseling to help the addict and their family understand why someone is addicted.

See Yourself

Here is another Narconon realization for the day.  It is shared with the hopes that others will read it and reach to get some help.  Whether a person has done cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine or pot – there is help for them and a new life.

“I see how controlling my body is a very important tool in my life.  Before in my life I would be going down the road in my car and my intentions were good.  But I would let my body take over and before I knew it, I would be in the wrong neighborhood.  It was as if my body took over my thoughts and took total control over my mind.

Now I see how important it is for me to be in control of every part of me.  Today my body is being controlled by me.  I am in the driver’s seat, and I’m driving with happiness.”

Part of the Narconon program involves getting the student more in touch with their environment.  Heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and other drugs of abuse tend to make a person look inward and after a while, they are not seeing the world any more.  The Narconon addiction program addresses that.  Here is a reflection from one of our students today.

“Today during course I realized that I can have anything and everything.  I can have the sunlight or the darkness. I can have the color yellow or the color black.

I realized I can dispense of anything or everything that I want.

I realize I can leave along anything and everything I want.  If I want it I can have it and if I don’t want it then it won’t be a part of my life! “

Many former addicts report that their cravings are greatly reduced after this program.   Here is a success story:

“I have had great gains from the sauna program. I also lost some things too, but it was things I needed to lose, like anxiety.  I sleep more, I am happier and my activity level is higher.  I am less tired and more willing to participate in activity around me.   This includes doing simple things in life like cooking and cleaning, which I had a hard time with before.

My body feels healthy and my senses and focus have come back.  I have lost the desire to use drugs- I just don’t think about them anymore.  The manifestations of drugs have diminished in my mind and I just don’t glorify them anymore.  I have also lost laziness and apathy and I am more driven.  I feel ready to learn new things with this group to help me be a better person.

I have written a list of things that I want to accomplish before I get out of here and I feel very condiment they will be accomplished.  I came out of sauna the best that I could and I plan on coming out of what I learn on course to give me opportunities I have never seen.

Doing this program is one of the best opportunities of my life.  I am going to be successful.”

Every day we get success stories like this at Narconon.  We also get successes from those who have graduated from the program and are doing well in life.  In fact, our success rate comes out to be 70 to 80 percent, year after year.

Narconon drug rehab is the new life program.  Not only do we expect the majority of our students to maintain sobriety, we expect them to be successful in life as well.

He was told that his drug addiction was a problem that he would have to struggle with for the rest of his life.

Jason isn’t alone there are 25 million drug addicts in America and the problem is only getting worse.

Before coming to Narconon drug rehab my life was quickly falling apart.  I didn’t know what I was doing or where I was going or even who I was.  I felt the time to make the change was now.  I knew that coming to Narconon was the best decision I have made in a long time.  I am looking forward to the future rather than trying not think about it and I can thank Narconon for that.

Narconon has a success rate of 76% among graduating students. We use a holistic approach to addiction treatment.
