Narconon Louisiana Produces Positive Changes With Graduate
R.M. spent most of his life running away from his problems. He turned to drugs at the age of 15 and never looked back. Soon he found himself addicted to heroin and Oxycontin. Because of his addiction, R.M. ended up serving time in prison. By this time he and his family were almost out of hope and wondered if they would ever get their son back and if he would ever be able to live a life without drugs and alcohol. Thankfully the family found a real solution to their son’s drug problem through the Narconon Louisiana drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. Narconon Louisiana is a long-term, inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility, geared towards showing an individual that life without drugs is possible. Located just outside of Baton Rouge, Narconon provides a safe place for addicts to confront their lives and learn how to live drug-free. While most treatment centers focus on the 12-step model of rehabilitation, Narconon Louisiana takes a more non-traditional approach to handling addiction permanently. With a 75% success rate that far surpasses the industry norm, they are major contenders in the war on drugs. The reason why Narconon Louisiana is so successful is because they don’t subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. Instead they work one on one with a client to handle what problems drugs were solutions for. This method allows students to regain control of their lives and handle situations that will come up in the future. Jeff Lukas, Executive Director of Narconon Louisiana explains, “One of the biggest problems that I encounter is that people don’t know how to handle life. You can put someone in a room for two weeks and wait until the drugs are out of their system and they are essentially off drugs. But is their life handled? Are they really better? No – they need to get to the bottom of their addiction. They need to learn how to live.” That is exactly what R.M. did, upon completing the Narconon Louisiana program he had this to say, “Everyone here has issues that are buried deep when they get here, and it’s hard to talk about them sometimes. However, I learned that by doing this and getting to the root of things we can begin to fix these problems and produce positive changes in our lives.” There are thousands of people like R.M. People that have almost given up hope that they will ever lead a life free of drugs and alcohol. If you or anyone you know is in need of help call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650.
