Narconon Riverbend addresses underyling causes of addiction

The Narconon drug rehab program addresses and solves the underlying causes of addiction, says the program’s recent graduate in a success story earlier this month.

“Personally I got a lot out of the Narconon program. I learned about what went wrong with my relationships in the past, and how to not let these situations arise in the future,” he said.

One tenet of the Narconon program is that the addict must confront and address what went wrong that led him or her to drugs in the first place. Often an inability to communicate or a breakdown in relationships leads to a drug problem in the first place. “If you don’t fix what went wrong, he’s going to go back to drugs,” said Jeff Lukas, a drug counselor at Narconon Riverbend Retreat. “That’s why our program has a success rate of over 75%. They don’t graduate until they’re confident they can deal with the situations that life will throw at them.”

Their most recent graduate definitely felt this way. “I also feel like I learned how to deal with everyday situations in life,” he said, “in order to improve my success in the world. I’ve learned how my decisions affect every part of my life and I am grateful for this.”

Said Lukas, “Our graduates leave not only sober, clean and happy. They often go on to become very successful, with their families whole once more, feeling more stable than ever.”

Narconon Riverbend has recently been rated one of the most successful long term drug rehabs in the U.S., and it’s easy to see why. Their program is open ended, meaning that the student graduates only when he is ready, and their comprehensive program leaves no stone left unturned. Every issue is addressed that might contribute to their going back to drugs.

“Industry standard” in the world of rehabs is a success rate less than 10%. That almost all of Narconon Riverbend’s graduates stay clean is exemplary.
