Narconon Drug Rehab at County Fair

Hundreds Sign Drug-Free Pledge

Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia has become popular at the local county fair.  This week the message of Narconon’s effective drug treatment and prevention reverberated throughout the grounds as thousands of families visited the booth carrying away educational brochures.  Some took the phone number in hopes of passing it along to an addicted friend or family member.

About 500 kids signed the drug free pledge with their parents carefully explaining what the pledge meant.  Parents read it out loud for the little ones who couldn’t read.  Once the pledge was signed, each kid was given a free toy and a reminder that a drug free life is a fun life. 

Mary Rieser, Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia stated:   “Surveys show that kids are less likely to use illegal drugs if they know their parents strongly disapprove.  We want to make drug prevention a family affair with a fun message for the kids.  We can’t leave drug prevention up to the schools.  Teachers are often overloaded and not trained in drug prevention.  Narconon Drug Prevention staff are trained in all facets of drug abuse.  We track the trends of the most abuse illegal drugs such as heroin, pot, methamphetamine and Xanax so we can keep the community informed.  Narconon passes on this information through churches and families. In this society you can never start too early.”

Narconon Drug Rehab staff members also met several individuals campaigning for office locally, state wide and nationally.  Many acknowledged that they were in favor of drug treatment in lieu of incarceration for offenders who are addicts and promised to promote that message if elected.   There was no divide amongst the parties when it came to realizing that this country is badly in need of effective drug treatment and education.

LIVE DRUG FREE is a well received message universally” stated Mary Rieser.    You aren’t going to find any disagreement with this message here at the county fair.  Everyone wants to have fun and drugs aren’t part of that.”
