NARCONON

What is Narconon?

It is a non-profit drug rehab program dedicated to eliminating drug abuse and drug addiction through drug prevention, education and rehabilitation.

The way Narconon was founded is interesting. According to the Narconon Website it all started some 40 years ago.

Many former drug addicts who were rehabilitated through Narconon all those many years ago are still involved -- working to help other drug addicts.

This is from the Narconon web site:

"William Benitez, an inmate of Arizona State Prison, founded the NARCONON program in 1966. Benitez read a book by American author L. Ron Hubbard, and by applying the principles it contained on increasing one's abilities, he and dozens of other inmates were able to permanently end their addictions to heroin. The Narconon program has evolved from that simple beginning to a worldwide network of drug prevention and drug-free social education rehabilitation centers."

There's a lot more information on the Narconon website, which is especially useful if you have a family member who needs help.
