Heroin and HIV

Intravenous drug abuse has increased over the last decade; as many as 3 million people might be HIV positive world wide.

How does numbers relate?

Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia warns that in the United States, approximately 15% of the IV users are HIV positive. 

“While this information might appear to be irrelevant to most Americans, who have a lot to think about right now, if one has teenagers in the house, it is time to have a family talk,” comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia.

“Over the last decade heroin has crept into new neighborhoods and has tapped younger people on the shoulder with its allure, apparently without proper warning. Without effective drug education, not only is overdose a possibility for a young user, but so is an infected needle.

“Drug addiction can not only affect the person’s health, relations, and financial future, but can be deadly.

“Drug addiction can be addressed successfully. We have done this time and time again; people who had tried to kick drugs for decades finally found relief in our program and now live happy, productive, drug-free lives.

“But once a person has HIV they have it for a lifetime.  HIV compromises life style, general health and finance.

“With proper drug education and prevention measures HIV can be prevented.

“Talk to your kids.”

If someone you know is drug addicted, call us.  We have a 76% success rate.

We are Narconon – The New Life Program.
