After years of battling his addiction, Shane* had almost come to the terms that he was going to die an alcoholic, that was until he enrolled in a drug and alcohol rehab called Narconon Louisiana. “My life was consumed with drinking. I had no idea what it felt like to live a ‘normal’ life, and I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to find out” he explains in a recent interview. “By the time I got to Narconon I was a broken lifeless person, but somehow Narconon Louisiana restored me to the person I used to be. The person that enjoyed life and was interested in what life had to offer.”
Shane’s battle with alcohol started almost fifteen years ago at the age of 17. “Drinking became my life, and anything else that happened to me was diluted by alcohol. I graduated college drunk, I got married drunk and shortly after, I got divorced drunk. By the time I got to Narconon my life revolved around drinking and stealing in order to pay for my alcohol.”
Narconon Louisiana is a long-term, inpatient drug and alcohol rehab that uses a unique method to allow people to permanently get off drugs and alcohol. When a client enrolls in this program they are approached in two different ways in order to handle their addiction. The first approach is a body detoxification that allows a person to eliminate cravings, which tend to be the reason people cannot stay sober. The second approach is through a series of courses which are designed to help an addict figure out what problem drugs or alcohol were a solution for. One of their most successful courses is called The Way To Happiness.
The Way To Happiness is a common-sense guide to life that allows addicts to break free from the moral codes that they adopted while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. This book details such moral codes like “Do Not Do Anything Illegal”. To most people this may same simple, but to people learning how to re-live life, those sorts of lessons are vital. For addicts like Shane, being allowed to re-enter into society is vital in order to maintain sobriety.
“By the time I finished The Way To Happiness course I felt like I was given the opportunity to start my life fresh, without the weight of the bottle on my shoulders. It allowed me to feel like I was on the same team as the rest of the world,” explains Shane.
With the inclusion of The Way To Happiness course in the Narconon curriculum, Narconon has set itself up as one of the most workable drug rehab programs in the United States. In a business where the average success rate is between 12-20%, Narconon far surpasses this with a 76% success rate for permanent recovery.
