Narconon: A Drug Rehab Program That Really Works!
Substance abuse is the undoing of many families. The heartache, betrayal, frustration and pain run deep. Even after endless attempts at treating their loved ones, the abuser often relapses and the ruinous cycle for the entire family starts all over again.
The reason for such relapses is often a residue of drugs or alcohol in the system, left even after medical detoxification has been completed. There is another solution, one which has proven in over 76 percent of cases to finally end the vicious cycle. It’s called Narconon.
The Narconon program, offered at Vista Bay Treatment Center in northern California, features a non-medical detox process which, without the use of drugs, purges the addict’s system completely of any residue toxin, including those that can seep into bones and muscles, ridding the body of trigger chemicals that often cause relapse.
Medical physicians have lauded the benefits of Narconon. “I have never liked the concept of using drugs and medications to solve the problems created by drugs and medication,” comments Dr. Megan Shields of the American Board of Family Practice. “There is a place for medication but it is defined and very limited. But with the release of the Sauna Detoxification Program (offered in Narconon), I discovered we had a solution at hand. Those who had completed (the program said) that they were no longer encumbered by the chemicals that were shutting off their lives. They expressed increased mental clarity and a new hope for the future.”
Integral to the success experienced at Narconon Vistabay, is the equally emphasized psychological portion of the program. Seventy-five percent of the program, in fact, is focused on the individual psychological reasons that led a patient into substance abuse and teaching them easily applicable life coping and decision-making skills that will help them make positive choices for handling the challenges of life and choosing friends that will support them in their drug-free lives.
Family involvement in the program is considered paramount to the staff at Narconon Vista Bay. In fact, it is the family of the addicts with whom Vista Bay staff meets with initially to discuss the program and the interlacing of family members into setting the addict free from their abusive behavior. Healing is recognized as a holistic matter at Narconon Vistabay, involving not only the addict but their extended family, as well.
“I encourage you to review (this program) carefully and consider utilizing it,” Dr. Shields, who has been associated with the Narconon program for over 20 years, says. “Many years ago, I did and I have been able to save many lives as a result.
