Narconon Founder Went Above and Beyond to Help His Fellow Man

By the year 1981, many Narconon centers were fully operational and fully staffed, and were already saving lives from the chains of addiction.  Mr. Benitez had completed a monumental task in establishing such a successful drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.  At this point in his life Mr. Benitez made a decision to move back to Arizona.

It was in Arizona that William Benitez took on a job within the same justice system that held him prisoner for so many years.  At that time the Department of Corrections Director in Arizona was a gentleman named Ellis McDougall.  Mr. McDougal hired Will as a inmate liaison, his formal title was that of a Hearing Officer for the Corrections Director located at the Central Headquarters in Arizona.  One of the main duties of this position was to handle all of the inmate complaints, what better job for a person who by this point in his life had accomplished so much in helping others.

Mr. Benitez worked in this position for quite some time, and continued his on going support with the expansion of the Narconon network.  The story of him working at the same place where he spent a large portion of his life is a remarkable one.  He was so dedicated in helping others, and knew exactly what steps to take to help his fellow man.  It is only fitting that Will chose to work with the same people that gave him the opportunity to start a Narconon therapy group.

After William Benitez’s death in 1999, the Narconon network has continued to expand across the globe.  Currently there are 150 different centers located in over 40 different countries.  Because of Mr. Benitez’s dedication and accomplishments, the Narconon program has been able to save many lives from the chains of addiction.   This one man is responsible for creating and starting a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that has reunited families, healed communities, and educated tens of thousands about the harmful effects of drugs.  The Narconon network has a very bright future, and will continue to do its part in making this a drug free planet.
