The Narconon program has from the beginning been founded on key
principles developed by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard.

| "One
has the choice of being dead with drugs or being alive without
them. Drugs rob life of the sensations and joys which are the only
reason for living anyhow." -- L. Ron Hubbard |
The keynote is that an individual is responsible for his own
condition and that anyone can improve his condition if he is given a
workable way to do so. It is based on improved understanding of his
fundamental nature: that man is basically good and it is pain,
suffering, and loss that lead him astray.
In the early '60s, Mr. Hubbard was one of the first to see the
long-term consequences of the accelerating drug culture. He responded
warmly to William Benitez's request for help with his fledgling Narconon
program in Arizona State Prison and continued to write up his
observations on the effects of drugs on the individual person, his body,
and the society as a whole.
The Narconon program from its inception promoted an approach to
rehabilitation without recourse to alternative drugs. This early program
did not, however, deal directly with withdrawal symptoms and
difficulties.
In 1973, after Mr. Hubbard had conducted further research to aid
Narconon staff to help others through the difficulties of withdrawal
discomfort safely and with minimal discomfort, the Narconon program
adopted these procedures to include drug-free withdrawal, using vitamins
and mineral supplements along with special techniques to ease the mental
and physical symptoms.
Another truly pioneering innovation researched by Mr. Hubbard was
adopted in 1978 known as the Narconon New Life Detoxification
Program®. This tissue-cleansing regimen of specific vitamin/mineral
therapy with cardiovascular exercise, intensive sweating in low heat
saunas, adequate replacement of fluids and oils, has become immensely
valuable for reducing the long-term physical and mental effects of drug
residuals on people who have taken drugs.
Mr. Hubbard noted the scientific evidence behind the accumulation of
drug and other toxic residuals in the human body. He postulated the
influence that these psychoactive toxins might have subliminally and
overtly on the mind and person and developed a safe, healthy, and
thorough method of cleansing the human body of the actual drug
residuals.
With the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program students regularly
report a remarkable increase in clarity of thinking, peace of mind, and
well being. It also greatly reduces or eliminates cravings for drugs
that stem from hidden drug toxins.
More than three decades of scientific studies and follow-up have
validated the theory and practice of this remarkable procedure.
L. Ron Hubbard's innovations to the Narconon program
continued through the years, always designed to facilitate a stable,
drug-free life for individuals.
