The Narconon Drug Rehab Program emphasizes the fact that in order to become drug-free and productive, the client’s personal integrity and honesty must be restored.
Driven by drug addiction, a drug addict will often engage in dishonest activities. This violates the client’s personal sense of morality and honesty, and then guilt and remorse make it easier to take more drugs to feel better. This cycle must be addressed in the drug rehabilitation process.
The Personal Values and Integrity Course, a step in the Narconon Drug Rehab Program, provides the client with basic data needed to improve this situation. It covers topics such as personal ethics, honesty and integrity and shows the client how to correct negative behavior by addressing past harmful actions. The client learns how to become free of the guilt and depression associated with addiction. The introduction to the Personal Values and Integrity Course states:
"How can clients regain their own sense of integrity and become honest? Is it possible to determine what is right and wrong? Often the unclear state of mind of the individual is such that they have forgotten the ability to analyze their own actions and foresee the consequences, harmful or beneficial, in their life.
"There is an answer. It starts with the individual."
One graduate stated of this course: “I learned so much from this course. Learning how I interact with the different areas of life really put things into focus for me on a personal level. I really got a lot out of the “Code of Honor”. I realized the not applying this in my life is part of the reason that I have not been doing well. I know that when I apply this code, things just seem to fall into place. When I have my personal integrity I feel better. And when I feel better my life goes better.
“I feel lighter - like a ton of bricks has been lifted off of me.
“I feel like I understand myself and that is what I have been looking for. Everything is coming together in a real way. I am getting the tools I need to work through my problems instead of avoiding them and using drugs to not feel.”
William Benitez, Founder of the Narconon Drug Rehab Program, stated, “I demonstrated to officials that any person, inmate or otherwise, could benefit from Narconon because its attention was on increasing abilities, that we had an ethics mechanism built into the program, and that the responsibility and involvement required of a member would soon dissuade anyone not serious about improvement.”
