The Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation and education program points out the original Narconon program was first delivered in a prison 44 years ago and most of these clients went on to not only lead drug-free but also crime-free lives. At this time Narconon used effective communication drills to help addicts recover from their addiction.
Today the Narconon program is a more comprehensive program handling both the mental and physical aspects of addiction.
The book The Way to Happiness, written by American author and humanitarian, L. Ron Hubbard, was one book incorporated into the Narconon program. This book represented a milestone in humanitarian efforts as this was the first such book that covered morals solely from the point of view of common sense rather than religious teachings. For example one of the precepts in the book is "Don't do anything illegal." This is a universal principle, however, the book itself explains clearly why there are laws and why it is important to follow them and the results of not doing so even if one is not found out.
The Narconon program has the clients on their program not only read the entire book, The Way to Happiness, but also they do various written exercises and drills to relate the precepts to their own lives to make it real to the student how the precepts can be applied.
It is common knowledge that crime and drug addiction go hand in hand. On drugs or to obtain drugs, it is quite common for an addict to resort to some illegal act. The final result of this is loss of personal pride and oftentimes punishment from the courts or state. Knowing this Narconon ensures that the students on the Narconon drug rehab program do discover these principles during Narconon program, which is covered on The Way to Happiness course.
To further bring home the principles of The Way to Happiness to students, Narconon centers have started to implement showing of the newly created full-length movie on DVD of The Way to Happiness. This movie details chapter by chapter the entire Way to Happiness, further increasing the reality of the principles of the book which has already been distributed in 90 languages and to over 70 million people.
By Narconon clients knowing and applying the moral principles they learn from The Way to Happiness, they go on to lead successful productive lives not only drug-free but also free from committing illegal acts.
