This year National Recovery Month, a group whose aim it is to promote benefits of drug and alcohol rehab in society, will celebrate 20 years of promoting that successful recovery is possible with drug treatment. A major participant in the annual National Recovery Month campaigns is the Narconon Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Program. Having helped hundreds of thousands of addicts, family members and loved ones that have been negatively affected by addiction, Narconon spreads the word that effective rehab can lead to permanent recovery.
The Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program was started in 1964 by a habitual criminal and heroin addict, William Benitez, who was searching for a solution to his own substance abuse problems. One day while browsing through the prison library he came upon a book by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard that offered him a permanent solution to his own addiction.
From there the Narconon program grew and now operates more than 150 centers in 50 different countries, providing successful treatment to addicts from across the globe while achieving a more than 70% success rate for permanent recovery from substance abuse.
One area that Narconon has really helped is the eastern United States. The program currently operates 6 Narconon centers in this part of the country and has plans to open many more. Erica Catton, Director of Promotion for Narconon East U.S. explains, “Our program gets results and we have many successes that we will be promoting over the next month to celebrate National Recovery Month and show that permanent recovery from addiction is possible with successful treatment.”
In addition to sharing true stories of recovery, many of the Narconon centers in the eastern United States will be working in the drug prevention arena during this time to educate children, families, and communities on the dangers of addiction to stop substance abuse before it starts.
“Narconon continues to expand delivery in both the drug rehabilitation and drug prevention areas,” adds Catton. “We are very proud of what our program has achieved in creating stable recovery for thousands of addicts and we look forward to helping more people from around the world.”
