Narconon founder one of the first to implement drug education and successful drug rehab.
William Benitez, the founder of the Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, was one of the first people to recognize the importance of educating our youth on drug addiction. He understood that it was vital to get to people before the problem started.
A drug education video of Benetiz during one of his first drug education talks was just released where Willie speaks about the dangers of drugs and alcohol and the importance of drug education. Benetiz, who was a heroin addict himself, overcame his own addiction through the Narconon technology while incarcerated in Arizona state prison and then opened the first Narconon center behind the prison walls. As a result of his tremendous success with the Narconon technology Benetiz was granted early release from prison and went on to establish several Narconon education and rehabilitation programs throughout the country.
Narconon Louisiana is just one of the latest additions to William Benitez’s vision of a drug-free world. It was created in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to provide help to people who were struggling with addiction. After three years it has a 75% success rate and has graduated over 130 students!
“The difference between us and a traditional rehab is that we focus on why the student started using drugs in the first place,” explains Jeff Lukas, Executive Director of Narconon Louisiana. “We don’t subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. We believe that drugs were a solution to a problem. Once that problem is isolated and handled, student can break free from the grips of addiction.”
While Mr. Benitez was giving drug education lectures in Arizona, his drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, Narconon, was just taking off. The first inpatient treatment center was established in California and the program has now grown to 150 centers in over 50 countries and as a result Narconon has graduated 25,000 people since 1995. The Narconon drug prevention program and its drug prevention specialists present to over half a million children yearly.
