hundreds of addicts of every kind become free at last from addiction
to drugs and alcohol. |
Narconon is an international, non-profit public
benefit organization dedicated to eliminating drug addiction through
prevention, education and rehabilitation.
The word Narconon means "No Drugs"; it comes
from "Narco" meaning drugs (narcotics), and "non"
meaning "no".
But Narconon is a lot more than just "saying no to
drugs." Narconon Arrowhead Residential Drug Rehabilitation
Center produces graduates who have demonstrated that they can live
stable, ethical, productive and drug-free lives. The success rate of
Narconon program graduates is more than double that of most other rehab
programs. It succeeds where other programs fail.
Narconon rehabilitation centers around the world educate
hundreds of thousands of people and rehabilitate thousands of addicts
every year.

Narconon Arrowhead, located in Arrowhead State
Park in Oklahoma, USA, is the largest of more than 100 rehabilitation
and drug prevention centers around the world that comprise The Narconon
Network.
Narconon Drug Prevention centers in many countries
educate hundreds of thousands of people each year with live
presentations, and bring the truth about drugs to many more through
video presentations and written materials.
The Narconon Drug Rehabilitation Program is an entirely
drug-free social education program. The key to the success of the
Narconon program is the Drug Rehabilitation Technology developed by
author and humanitarian, L. Ron Hubbard. This methodology has been used
successfully by hundreds of thousands of people around the world to rid
themselves of the need for drugs and to regain control of their lives.
The Narconon Drug Prevention and Education Program takes
a comprehsive approach to preventing drug use through effective
educational programs with school children, parents and educators,
training for peer leaders and professionals, and broad information
campaigns.
Narconon International, the administrative and
promotional international coordinating office in Hollywood, California,
was formed long after the network of individual Narconon centers had
existed. With dozens of staff speaking many languages, Narconon
International licenses new centers worldwide. Beyond providing
managerial expertise to the network, its senior function is to monitor
and support the highest level of technical and administrative excellence
throughout the network.
The International office has also spearheaded drug
education delivery and other drug prevention events to hundreds of
thousands of students and others across California. Supporting the
office is Friends of Narconon International, whose staff have produced
and distributed drug education videos and curricula including The Truth
About Drugs: What is it? and Marijuana: The Myth (you can order these
and other educational materials here). The Narconon International
Science Advisory Board has also sponsored research, outcome studies, and
international peer-review conferences on L. Ron Hubbard's sauna
detoxification protocol, including conferences in Los Angeles in 1995,
Stockholm in 1997, and Oklahoma in 2001.
