Today's alcoholic isn't an old man sitting next to a dumpster sipping a bottle out of a brown bag. Today's alcoholic happens to be between the ages of 12 to 20 and is just starting out in life.
Narconon Georgia is a non-profit drug rehabilitation, prevention and education organization. It has noticed more and more clients starting the Narconon program are in fact young people. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency states that 28.5 percent of young people aged 12 to 20 used alcohol and 19 percent were binge drinkers. That equates to about 6.8 million youth drinking heavy amounts of alcohol at one time.
These numbers are startling yet not surprising. According to the 2001 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, almost half (109 million) of Americans aged 12 or older were current drinkers. Alcohol is so easily obtained and frequently in use that addiction to it can get overlooked.
Narconon Georgia has published the signs of alcohol addiction on their website as well as other common drugs of choice. By people becoming educated on the signs of addiction and then contacting Narconon for help, lives can be saved. This is no overstatement. 2.8 million college students between the ages of 18 and 24 drove under the influence in a year according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
Alcohol abuse is addressed on the Narconon program by first addressing the physical addiction and then by addressing the mental aspects to that addiction. There are eight parts to the overall Narconon program. Each step puts the student that much more at cause over his addiction and gives him new abilities and knowledge to handle life situations.
The New Life Detoxification program delivered at Narconon Georgia flushes the drug toxins out of the addicts body using a carefully supervised system of nutritional supplements, exercise, and sauna. This program has the end result of greater mental clarity and alleviation of physical cravings.
Following this the Narconon program has a series of exercises and drills done to bring a person fully back into communication with his current environment and restore his perceptions of his surroundings. This enables the former addict to see the world as it really is and leave his depression and guilt associated with addiction far behind.
The full Narconon program brings about an individual who can go out and be successful in life and truly live a drug-free life.
