Narconon Program Reduces Drug Cravings

Primary Emphasis on Bio-Physical Detoxification

Most drug rehab programs struggle with a primary cause of relapse: drug cravings.

The Narconon Drug Rehab Program reduces drug cravings by fully cleansing the body of drug residues, and aiding the body in healing itself after the ravages of drug abuse.

This is because drugs and their metabolites quickly become undetectable in blood and urine, some as rapidly as 3 days after the last usage. However, these substances are known to be stored in the fat tissue. Research has established that both pharmaceutical and so-called recreational drugs can remain in the body for en extended time. For example, marijuana can be found in urine up to 77 days after the last use of the marijuana.

When fats are mobilized during times of stress or hunger, the drug residues are also mobilized and go into the bloodstream. These residues can trigger cravings that are almost impossible to resist. Hence, relapse occurs.

The accumulated drug residues, which continue to cause drug cravings, a factor in relapse, led researchers to develop a program aimed at reducing levels of toxins in the body to assist in recovery.

The purpose of the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program is to purge the body of drug residues, thus greatly reducing or completely removing drug cravings. This is accomplished through an exact regimen that consists of the following:

A. Exercise, preferably running, to stimulate circulation.
B. Prescribed periods in a low heat sauna to promote perspiration.
C. An exact regimen of vitamin, mineral and oil intake.
D. Sufficient liquids to offset the loss of body fluids through sweating.
E. Regular diet supplemented with plenty of fresh vegetables.
F. A properly ordered personal schedule, which provides the person with the normally required amounts of sleep.

Once the body is cleansed of toxins and drug cravings are reduced or eliminated, behavioral therapy treatment can begin.
