Narconon: The Changing Conditions in Life Course
A common denominator in many addictions is that the drug user found a way to escape from life’s problems by using drugs or alcohol. Maybe when he (or she) first used drugs, it was to feel better or stop being bored. Or maybe it looked like one’s friends were having fun so he just joined in.
How Does Rehab Work?
There literally are dozens of philosophies on how to bring about recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. Some of them gain tens of thousands of followers and their reach extends around the world. Others go no farther than one hospital or one rehabilitation facility.
Narconon Saved My Son’s Life
“Although this has been the longest and the hardest struggle of my life, please know there is hope. Do not give up your loved ones even if they stumble over and over.…
New Life with Narconon!!
My story behind being saved back to life from drug abuse is that - once upon a time I attended a Chick Corea concert in Sweden. I am myself a musician. While listening to one of his songs, I noticed that it was dedicated to something called “Narconon.”
The Cycle of Addiction
When a family is looking at the terrible manifestations of addiction, it is completely baffling. They can’t understand why their loved ones are acting so cruelly. Wives don’t understand why their husbands lose jobs, get secretive and won’t help the family any more.
How to Handle Loved Ones Refusing to Get Help?
The situation that most families find themselves in is that they want desperately to help the addicted person, but he (or she) refuses help. He doesn’t want help, he doesn’t need their help, he can handle it on his own, he says. Or he claims there isn’t even a problem that requires any help.
Helping an Addict
A family trying to help an addicted person very often struggles with this problem for years. If their loved one loses a job or several jobs, they help him (or her) find another one. If he is ill, they pay for medical care.
Drug-Free Rehab — How does it work?
Talking about a drug-free rehab requires some clarification. A rehab is not the same thing as a medical detox. Med detox helps a person through a dangerous withdrawal, as happens after long, heavy alcohol consumption, or lengthy use of benzodiazepines.
What to expect when my loved one goes to rehab at Narconon?
This is a very good question for a family to ask when sending a loved one to a Narconon rehab center. The family is going to play an important role in the person’s recovery—all the way through the recovery program and even after he (or she) comes home.
Finding addiction In loved ones
A family becomes so used to caring for, loving and trusting other family members that when one of them becomes addicted, it can be hard to take it all in. Parents who raised a beautiful child watch him (or her) slip away into some kind of ugliness.
