Narconon® Canada Drug Rehabilitation and Prevention

Drug-Free Withdrawal - When an individual has substance abuse problems, there are certain drugs, such as heroin and alcohol, from which he can’t normally stop consumption without considerable physical discomfort. Following a medical evaluation and proper approval by a physician, a Narconon facility provides a constantly safe and 24-hour care procedure.

Ever since its early beginnings inside the Arizona State Prison walls, the Narconon drug rehabilitation program has always been successful without resorting to alternative drugs. However, the early program established by William Benitez did not deal directly with the traumatic throes of drug withdrawal.

In response to this need, L. Ron Hubbard researched and developed methods to help drug addicts through the anguish of withdrawal without the use of potentially addictive drugs.

These specific residues may cause cravings for more drugs, hence the need to eliminate them from the body. To do so, an exact regimen of exercise, sauna and nutritional supplements is applied, which helps remove the fatty tissues in the body containing the drug residues.

To accelerate the drug elimination process, the Narconon New Life Detoxification program has a controlled and monitored dry sauna, where the drug addicts go to remove the drug residues from their body.

This first course is particularly important for the student, since it provides him the necessary tools to express himself, regardless of the situation at hand. There are eight training routines on this course (called “TRs”). Each one of them teaches a specific drill, such as how communication works, how to get understood by others and how to communicate with others.

As the student undergoes the Narconon drug detoxification program, he keeps a daily record of all the events and changes he experiences in the sauna. This course provides a comprehensive set of grids and tables to facilitate note taking. It also includes large sections where the student can keep track of his personal experiences.

The student is made aware of the three study barriers. The course allows him to fully understand a word searched in the dictionary, how to do demonstrations of concepts so that he can easily grasp them and how to spot and handle any hardships in his study.

This course enables the students to improve their learning skills and overcome study barriers, an ability that they can afterwards apply for the rest of their lives.

The student really enhances his communication skills by redoing the eight Training Routines, which he had completed earlier in the program. Following this, the student does a series of new exercises which fully extroverts him and gets his attention off himself and onto his environment. Such exercises greatly raise the student’s perception and ability to handle the environment and the ways to control life. Furthermore, the student is in charge of helping another student do the exercises. He takes responsibility for helping another, which increases his own sense of responsibility and his ability to handle life and help others.

The student learns the characteristics of the social personality as well as those of the anti-social personality, so that he is capable of spotting the differences between the two. This will particularly be useful when the time comes to make an educated decision on the types of friends and associates he wishes to have. Completing this course makes the student less susceptible to those who would influence him to revert to drugs.

It teaches the student the eight survival dynamics, gives him valuable knowledge about personal ethics, honesty and integrity and shows him how to correct contra-survival behavior by ridding himself of past harmful deeds.

This ethics technology was developed by L. Ron Hubbard and explains exactly how to apply these steps to improve conditions in life. It also teaches the student how to repair previous bad conditions and how he can apply this knowledge and keep winning.
