Whether or not final autopsy findings reveal Corey Haim's actual cause of death was caused by drug overdose, the facts remain his long standing battle with drug abuse no doubt compromised his health and as he put it, made him "a chronic relapser for the rest of my life".
Haim did see a "drug addiction specialist" two weeks before his death, according to his Manager, Mark Heaslip and long-time friend Corey Feldman. However that "specialist" put him on a new line of drugs. Narconon, a non-profit drug rehabilitation organization, states drug abuse isn't handled by switching one drug for another. The "specialist" had Haim weaned down to zero according to Feldman, then re-drugged him.
The re-drugging of drug addicts is based on an unsound theory of "chemical imbalances". According to Narconon drug rehabilitation specialist and Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor Gary Smith, there is a philosophy that chemical dependency leads to permanent chemical imbalances in the brain that must be treated with mind altering drugs. Mr. Smith states in the book Healing Addicted Lives, "A review of national averages shows that addiction treatment programs based on these theories result in recovery rates of just 16% to 20%." However, the non-drug approach of Narconon has a success rate of over 70%.
At Narconon when someone is addicted to drugs, he is helped off the drugs and the underlying factors of addiction are addressed instead of giving him a different drug and masking those factors.
The Narconon program is a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that handles the many factors involved in drug addiction. According to Narconon, when drug rehabilitation programs fail it is because the many facets of drug addiction are not addressed. The person never overcomes being an addict because they are often times told they must simply accept that they are an addict and must learn to live with it. This is the same as saying, if one had a sliver in his thumb one must learn to cope with it. The truth being if one simply removes the sliver, they no longer have to cope and "learn to deal" with their problem as they have addressed the root cause of the problem.
Narconon addresses the root causes of addiction and as such succeeds where other drug rehab programs fail. Today's world far too often glorifies drug use with reality TV shows pressing it home. Cory Haim is another Hollywood example of the real horrors of drug addiction. For years he went along without getting help.
Several months ago the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy released an awareness campaign encouraging the families and friends of those addicted to seek help for their loved one. Seeking help is the first step to overcoming addiction. However, it is important the help be effective for the addict to truly recover from addiction. The Narconon program has been successfully handling addiction for over 44 years and has 120 centers worldwide. Narconon is a total non-drug solution that puts the person back in the driver’s seat of their life and able to live a successful drug-free life.
