Study Skills Vital To Successful Drug Recovery

Study Skills.

For drug rehab?

“The world today is a highly changing, competitive market,” state Mary Rieser, Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia. “What good will it do to get somebody clean and off drugs if they can’t look forward to a productive, bright future?

“Studies have shown that ex-drug addicts with a goal in life are less likely to relapse into drug abuse. Someone suffering from drug addiction has a first priority: getting clean. But staying clean? That is the barrier they must pass. And if they cannot remain competitive in today’s workforce, they become disillusioned, and relapse.

“So how do you take someone who for the most part is intelligent and creative, take them off of drugs, and keep them competitive? You teach them how to study.”

In the Narconon Learning Improvement course, recovering addicts learn of the many barriers that face students who want to study, the first being the idea that they “know it all already.” The idea that one “knows it all” makes one less willing to study. Opening the door to knowledge requires the realization that there is something to learn – and this is accomplished on this course, before the student progresses to actual study skills.

Once the student is willing to learn, the course progresses onto basic study skills that increase the ability to study, retain knowledge, recognize and overcome barriers to study and learning.

One who cannot study cannot hope to live a successful life, as one has to keep learning all the time in order to keep up with the competitive environment one lives in.

The way to become a competent and productive member of society is to learn how to study.
 
Rather than the recovering addict studying so that they can pass a test, the main emphasis is put on the application of knowledge to life. With this emphasis, anyone can get much more out of what they study and are able to put the material to actual use.

This is true of every step on the program, which includes practical application as regards personal integrity and ethics.

By applying the data in this course, the student can move quickly through the Narconon program and become much more successful in life, thus preventing relapse.
