At some time or another, nearly every family will have to deal with the addiction of one of their members. It could be an uncle that seems half-drunk at every family celebration, someone who lost everything to prescription opiate addiction or a loved one who has fallen into a pattern of abusing synthetics or club drugs.

When you look at this list, you are probably looking at the changes and life skills you hope to see in your loved one. The Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is designed to address these changes and many more that are necessary for a person to stay sober for the rest of his or her life.
A thorough detoxification followed by counseling and life skills training enable a person in a drug program to see things in a whole new light so they can live an enjoyable, productive life again. This is the way the Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program works. Narconon has more than four decades of experience repairing the types of damage done by addiction. Narconon can help you bring your loved one back to the way he was before addiction stole him away.
