Narconon Europe Information: Narconon Drug Rehabilitation Program Narconon Drug Abuse Prevention Narconon Europe Training Center Narconon Europe association was formed in September 1988. Representatives from the various local Narconon associations from the countries of Europe met in Copenhagen and formed the European association Narconon Europe. The need for a European Association which could act on the international scene was obvious. As Europe was being more and more united the need for a body which could represent each of the members was needed. The social laws and regulations in Europe in the fields of drug rehabilitations and preventions were and are still being worked out, and Narconons in Europe wanted to be part of the effort to work out the best laws and regulations which could help drug addicted people in Europe. The Narconon program is one of the few drugfree methods to rehabilitate addicts. The program is not a medical program, but more a self help program where the addicted person through study and exercises learn how to deal with the problems of life without using drugs as a solution. It is therefore very important that both professionals and the single citizen in Europe are informed of this method to rehabilitate addicted people, so they themselves can choose what kind of method they prefer to use. The Narconon Europe Association services its members to ensure they are well trained and educated to deliver an effective drugfree program to those who are interested to get rehabilitated without the use of medicaments and other drugs.
The program steps are entirely drug-free; that is, the Narconon program does not use drugs or medications to solve the problems caused by drugs, but does use nutrition and nutritional supplements as an important component of its delivery. Thus the program is neither a psychiatric nor medical, but a social education model of rehabilitation.
Persons enrolling in the program must receive full medical physicals, an M.D.’s permission to do the program and periodic medical review as individually needed. However, Narconon clients are not considered or treated as “patients” but as “students” who are learning to regain control of their lives. This is an important distinction. A Narconon student does not enroll to recover from an “illness”; he enrolls to learn something that he doesn’t already know. He addresses the disability caused by drug use with new abilities, new skills for life. Narconon staff prepare graduating students with “re-entry” programs to follow as they re-start their lives on a new foot. But the full Narconon program is intended to produce graduates who can stand on their own feet and live drug-free, ethical lives thereafter. A Narconon graduate does not go to weekly meetings for months after completion, nor does he describe himself as “recovering.” A student who has graduated from the Narconon program has recovered. He or she has obtained a new orientation in life. The premise of the Narconon model is that a former addict can achieve a new life. This goal applies (and is routinely achieved) whether the program is delivered in a free-standing center, daily after work, or even in prison.
Once well, if he uses the tools he has practiced and learned to use at a Narconon center, a Narconon graduate can stay well. This is not theoretical. There are three decades of graduates who will swear by it. If graduates do run into serious difficulties, they return to their Narconon center where they inevitably find a specific part of the program that they earlier failed to fully understand and therefore could not apply in the travails of daily life. But the majority get it the first time through. The Narconon program takes four to six months. During this time, some might consider the Narconon program a “therapeutic community,” but it would be more appropriate to say that Narconon clients are going “back to school”–this time to get real tools for real life.
“The addict has been found not to want to be an addict, but is driven by pain and environmental hopelessness...As soon as an addict can feel healthier and more competent mentally and physically without drugs than he does on drugs, he ceases to require drugs.” - L. Ron Hubbard A Narconon Program Graduate is someone
Each narconon program graduate is expected, no matter the severity of his or her earlier life experience, to achieve and to live a stably drug-free, ethical life, one for one.
There is no such thing as a “victim” in the Narconon program way of thinking. Even if life has dealt one a bad hand of cards, the road out is through personal recognition of responsibility for one’s own condition. Grateful acknowledgement is made to L. Ron Hubbard Library for permission to reproduce selections from the copyrighted works of L. Ron Hubbard.
There are currently 200 million drug abusers in the world and an increasingly large number of those are children.
Narconon staff have educated over 1.5 million school children through the Narconon drug education and training programs. Our program has demonstrated effectiveness in keeping kids off drugs. Outcome studies show that early drug prevention must give young children the truth, the vital information and tools they need to make their own choice to keep away from drugs. Our track record over the past two decades is impressive with key results being reported.
By continually monitoring trends in youth substance abuse, the Narconon Drug Education program keeps pace with changing community needs. Presentations are real and reflect what kids are actually doing.
The purpose of the association Narconon Europe is to eradicate the problem of drug and alcohol abuse in Europe through effective rehabilitation and education. Using the new, proven approach to rehabilitation developed by the author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, we are providing new lives filled with purpose and productivity to people enslaved by drugs and alcohol.
Narconon Europe offers comprehensive training to other professionals and organizations that seek workable drug rehabilitation and prevention solutions. We also provide training to people who would like to start their own Narconon activity in their own local community whether it is within the field of drug rehabilitation or prevention.
