According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Atlanta, Georgia has become a key pipeline through which drugs flow into all areas of the U.S. from Asian, Cuban, Dominican and Mexican drug trafficking organizations. With this comes the reality that drugs are more locally available to Atlanta’s affluent, tech-savvy population than ever. This fact is supported by the growing numbers of people aged 21-35 suffering from addiction in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
Successfully Creating Drug Free Lives
Working to reverse this trend and provide effective drug rehabilitation, Narconon Georgia has been helping people break the bonds of drug addiction for ten years now. Having a long-term success record of over 70 percent of graduates getting clean and going on to lead drug-free lives, their track record is four times that of the international average.
The secret to their success lies in a dedicated staff, who are experienced drug addiction specialists and have years of experience in delivering the Narconon program. The Narconon program has been the leader in effective non-drug drug rehabilitation for over 45 years.
One of the key benefits of the Narconon Georgia program is being an out-patient facility. There are many "functioning addicts" who despite addiction, manage to hold down a job. Eventually, the addiction destroys them both mentally and physically unless proper drug rehabilitation enters the scene. The advantage of Narconon Georgia is that addicts can confidentially come to Narconon Georgia, receive the benefit of the program and maintain their professional lives.
The New Life Detoxification Program
The New Life Detoxification Program has been delivered by Narconon Georgia throughout its ten year history. Upon completing this step of their program, Narconon students routinely report increased mental clarity, elimination of physical drug cravings and an overall improvement in physical well-being. This program flushes the toxins out of the body that normally remain from drug use and addiction. Not doing this step would leave the addict with drug residues in their body. These drug residues going back into reactivation are a primary reason why drug addicts find themselves reverting to drugs despite their own willpower to kick the habit.
Cleansing the physical body from drug residues lodged in the fatty tissues as done in the New Life Detoxification program is a vital step in restoring the student to both mental and physical health. Having one's thoughts clouded by continual thoughts about drugs makes it very difficult, if not impossible to concentrate on life’s other tasks. The often startling mental improvements of this unique detox program are shown by the student's intelligence testing, administered before and after the program.
Life Skills Training
Narconon Georgia does not consider their clients to be "patients", but more accurately recognizes them as students with something to learn. The traps of drug addiction are many. Each person has their own unique situation, but there are common factors that arise for all drug addicts. These are usually circumstances in life they did not know how to handle or had no solution for, except using drugs. This is why the Narconon program has a series of life skills courses that teach the former addict new problem solving skills to handle life’s challenges. In doing so, the student will on his own realize the circumstances that led up to his addiction and work out for himself the correct solutions for his future.
Without this knowledge full recovery would not be possible, as the student would leave the drug rehab program and go back into his same environment he used drugs in and apply the same old solutions that led to his addiction in the first place. Lack of effective life skills is a major cause of addiction relapse. Narconon’s strong emphasis on learning effective life skills, dramatically improves the addict’s ability to maintain his sobriety when life outside of rehab gets tough.
Community Activities
Narconon Georgia staff also work with local community programs, churches and schools doing drug prevention each month. They have been commended and recognized by the Mayor of Atlanta for their good work and dedication to helping others get and stay off drugs in his great city.
