We have had great success with many students in the Narconon program. From hard core Heroin to heavy Cocaine use, the Narconon program's unique method continues to get tremendous results. Parents are also impressed with Narconon's ability to explain addiction in language that actually makes sense. The following information provides an in depth look into Narconon's history of success.

Narconon was founded in Arizona State Prison and initially expanded predominately to other prison facilities. In 1972, Narconon began delivering services to the public at its first residential facility in Los Angeles. There are currently over 50 Narconon facilities worldwide. The majority of these facilities provide drug rehabilitation services to the public in a residential setting. [See examples of facilities]

Each component of the Narconon program is designed to increase the abilities of the client. The initial program included courses and drills designed to increase the client's communication skills, study skills and orientation to the environment. The program now includes drug-free withdrawal detoxification in addition to understanding of moral principles and preparation for reentry into the work force.

Narconon is a public benefit, non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation that is committed to the elimination of substance abuse. The Narconon approach is based on techniques developed by author and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. Founded in 1966, Narconon has supplied drug rehabilitation treatment and education/prevention services for over 30 years.
