What Is Narconon?
Narconon is a highly effective drug-free withdrawal, detoxification and rehabilitation program that utilizes techniques developed by L. Ron Hubbard. Narconon, meaning “no drugs,” began as a grassroots movement in the mid-1960s when an inmate of the Arizona State Prison solved his own drug problem using principles found in one of L. Ron Hubbard’s books. He then used those same principles to help solve drug-related problems of fellow inmates.
For the last six decades, the Narconon drug rehabilitation and prevention programs have been implemented in some 40 nations. More than 45,000 individuals have graduated the Narconon rehabilitation program drug-free, while an estimated 20 million more have been educated through Narconon drug education services.
At the hub of the network is Narconon Arrowhead in Oklahoma, the largest residential facility of its kind and international training center for drug rehabilitation professionals and volunteers.
True freedom for the individual cannot be attained in a world awash with substance abuse and drug addiction. That is why the Church of Scientology is fully committed to programs that effectively address this social issue.
