Iranian Official Take Extreme Stance on Drug Abuse

There are times during a drug addict’s life when it is so bad, and they are so alone that they consider their life is basically over. However, for drug addicts in Iran, their life really is over. Officials in Iran have begun to execute hundreds of heroin addicts and traffickers in an attempt to eliminate the massive drug epidemic in the country. And while Iranian officials are holding strong to their decision on mass executions, there are other effective, more humane ways to handle addiction.

One treatment center has mastered the components of handling addiction, evidenced by their 76% success rate for permanent recovery. Narconon Louisiana is a long-term, inpatient drug and alcohol facility that attacks addiction in a number of ways. Clients enrolled in this successful program eliminate cravings, work on communication skills, learn to break the habits, or landmines that trigger continuous drug use and take responsibility for their past transgressions, or wrongdoings. This results-based therapy allows addicts to break free of their addiction and live the lives they were always intended to lead.

Those who suffer from an addiction to drugs or alcohol will often times complain about the ever-present cravings they experience when off the drugs. At Narconon Louisiana, clients enroll in several sessions in a dry heat sauna. This allows them to detoxify their bodies of all drug and alcohol toxins. These drug and alcohol toxins accumulate in the body and attach themselves to the fatty tissues. When the person is under any type of physical stress these toxins release into the blood stream and cause cravings. The sauna program at Narconon Louisiana puts an end to that cycle of addiction. 

Throughout an addict’s life you will see some things trigger that person to use more drugs. Whether it is a social problem like anxiety or trying to fit in, that leads to the drug use, or an incident like a death in the family or rape or parents divorcing – there are definite problems that seem to cause the drug use. Clients at Narconon Louisiana work one on one with a counselor to figure out what problem or problems drugs and/or alcohol were a solution for in the first place. Once that problem is isolated and handled clients no longer feel the need to go through life under the influence of these poisons.

While the Iranians tactic certainly eliminates drug addiction, it is an extreme measure for something that can be handled with an effective drug and alcohol rehab like Narconon Louisiana.
