Narconon staff and executives wishes all a happy new year to all. Many more lives saved from drug addiction in 2009. Below are some of the recent Narconon drug rehab centers news:

• Narconon Salutes its 1,200 Staff Worldwide on 13,000 Lives Saved This Last Decade: Narconon drug rehabilitation and education staff have grown to over 1,200 in the last ten years. Many are graduates of the Narconon program, which has never given up and never will on the concept that a recovering alcoholic or other drug addict can achieve a stably drug-free and ethical life. Some others also believe this, not enough. Another hypothesis circulates that addiction is a chronic relapsing disease. This is only a theory, not a law.
• Narconon Steps In To Help Current Abuse Trends: With rising drug abuse trends and no signs of this epidemic stopping, Americans need now more than ever effective drug prevention and rehabilitation. Narconon provides not only effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation but drug education lecture in schools, businesses and community groups to prevent youth from ever turning to drugs to begin with.
• Prescription Drug Addiction in Florida Serious Growing Threat: This has been seen on the drug treatment side as well as Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers have noted an increase in prescription drug addiction admissions. Because of this Narconon is doing all it can with its drug education and prevention lectures to inform youth and adults that it is not just street drugs are becoming more and more of a problem as well as increasing the numbers of people going into Narconon drug treatment programs. Unfortunately, prescription drugs are often easier to obtain than street drugs and one need not reach further then the medicine cabinet to set oneself on a path of serious addiction.

• Prescription Painkillers Can Lead to Addiction: As Narconon points out, prescription painkillers can be just as addictive, if not more so than street drugs. If one is in pain oftentimes the only solution is to numb the pain with a drug. However, this can start the cycle of addiction. Fortunately, Narconon drug rehabilitation provides an effective solution including a drug-free withdrawal that involves repairing the nutritional deficiencies and safely eliminating the drug toxins to break the cycle of addiction.
• List of Deadly Prescription Drugs Found: “Many of these drugs are not only highly addictive, but are deadly if combined,” comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab Georgia. “Many people don’t realize the dangers of prescription drug abuse, and whether her doctors knew she was combining these potentially lethal drugs is a question that should be answered. The drugs found are very powerful, often affecting different parts of the body, often with tragic results.”
• Narconon Drug Rehab Awards Unsung Hero: Gordy has been clean for 41 years, since attending the Narconon program in the Arizona State Penitentiary in 1968. He reflects every day on just how lucky he is, but especially during the holidays when he is with his family. Gordy reflects, “Believe is or not, my life started changing for the better after I got arrested and sentenced to the Arizona State Penitentiary.” William Benitez, a once hopeless heroin addict started the Narconon program in prison, after reading Fundamentals of Thought, by L. Ron Hubbard and realizing that he was not a powerless addict, but a person of capability. (http://www.drugsno.com)

• Medical Marijuana Can Open Door For Addicts: Narconon Louisiana, has seen first-hand how marijuana leads to harder, more dangerous drugs. “I talk to hundreds of addicts a year and almost all of the cite marijuana as being their first drug. Eventually you move on to different drugs like heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine when marijuana no longer provides you with the same feeling anymore.” (residential drug rehab center in Louisiana)
