An Addicted Criminal Life Turned Around For Good
Drug abuse and addiction lead to a life of lies, deceit, and misery. When a person is addicted to drugs or alcohol, he (or she) will steal or do whatever he has to in order to get that next fix or that next drink. Honesty and integrity mean nothing anymore. Satisfying those intense cravings becomes an obsession and compulsion. Crime in today’s society often comes from people who are addicted.
Rob knows that his drug abuse resulted in the criminal acts that followed. But for him, it didn’t have to be that way forever. He found a way to turn his life around.
Rob described his life of addiction. “My life was chaotic. I was robbing people, selling drugs, trying to get by to the next day. I was always worrying about getting high. I was in and out of jail. I was just doing the wrong things.“ Then he found Narconon.
The Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program can provide lasting recovery from addiction. The first step at Narconon is to go through withdrawal, which is done with no drug substitute therapy of any kind. In the case where a person requires medically assisted wean down, they would complete this before starting the Narconon program. On the drug-free withdrawal, an individual is supported with generous nutritional supplementation to help build up his health after the years of addiction. After the person is done with the withdrawal process, he or she then completes the Narconon New Life Detoxification. This sauna detox uses daily exercise, nutritional supplements and time in a sauna to remove drug residues and toxins from the body, cleaning the body and clearing the mind.
The next phase of the treatment at Narconon consists of the Objectives and other life skills courses. This study permits the recovering addict to discover his own weak areas that need improvement and provides insight into why he began abusing drugs in the first place. For example, on the Objectives, specific exercises increase the student’s ability to simply be in the present, making him (or her) more comfortable and alert.
Rob told about how the Objectives Course helped him. “The drills and exercises on this course just bring you back into the present. It helps you realize what is going on around you.“
Another course, called the Personal Values Course, gives the recovering addict the way to take responsibility for the things he or she did in a life of addiction. Rob said, “It helps you get over what you did. It helps you move on from the bad stuff that you did so you can live productive and clean.“
Smiling, Rob added, “Now that I’ve completed the program, I can do as much as I want. I can do whatever I want and can have anything I want. I feel like I’m ready to take on the whole world. “Rob is drug-free and can live a happy and fulfilling life without turning to drugs ever again. This is what Narconon can provide to anyone addicted to drugs or alcohol.
