Drug Addiction Creates Desperation in Individuals

The life of a drug addict is filled with crime, deceit, despair and loneliness. No one in their right mind would choose that way of life for themselves or anyone they loved. But that does not dissuade thousands of people from experimenting with drugs and traveling  the road to addiction. Families and loved ones are left wondering what to do to save their loved one from imminent jail time, deadly disease or even death. They find themselves battling to save a life the addict is actively trying to destroy. Drug and alcohol treatment is the answer, but what program is going to effectively wipe out the addiction and bring the person back to the life they were intended to lead all along? Narconon Louisiana has answered the pleas for help and have successfully maintained a 76% success rate for permanent recovery.

This long-term, inpatient facility has been in operation for over five years and has made waves as a center that does not conform to the norm, and which eliminates addiction through a results-based model of rehabilitation. To accomplish this there is no time restriction. Clients are enrolled in the program until all involved, clients, families and staff feel the person will remain free of drugs and alcohol. On average, this process takes four months, however in some cases it is longer.

By addressing the physical aspect of addiction first, clients are able to move through the rest of this long-term treatment program without the constant presence of cravings. The sauna program at Narconon Louisiana eliminates drug toxins and residues left in the body through a series of sessions in a dry heat sauna. These sessions, combined with light exercise and a regimen of vitamins and nutrients, cleans the body of all the toxins directly related to cravings. This allows the person to go through the rest of the program and life without the constant physical desire to use more drugs.

In addition to sauna treatments, clients work one on one with a counselor to figure out what problem or problems drugs solved. This allows them to confront life and all the related problems that people deal with on a daily basis without resorting to drug use.
