Rehab & Detox programs can differ so much that two ‘rehab’ and ‘detox’ programs compared one to the other don’t even belong in the same category. This is also true when comparing the Narconon rehab & detox program to traditional detox and rehab in Vancouver. Narconon’s rehab program focus’ on rehabilitation of people.

At a Narconon rehab center, people whose lives had been side tracked by drug addiction are rehabilitated by focusing on their lives not their drug abuse. By survey of 1,000s of drug abusers, all of those had life problems which they attempted to solve with drugs or unethical lifestyles. A Narconon rehab program therefore focuses on rehabilitation, not drugs.

Narconon Detox

Say detox to a drug addict and they think about meds, withdrawals, coffee and lots of cigarettes. Detox has become a kind of punishment for abusing drugs. Again, attempting to compare traditional detox centers to Narconon’s detox program is impossible.

Narconon’s detox program focuses on detoxifying a person of a life long or period of drug abuse on their bodies. As the body is healthy, so the mind and emotional well being of a person responds positively. The Narconon detox program begins, after any medical detox is complete if needed.

Narconon’s detox is an extended drug withdrawal process which uses all natural ingredients, lots of therapeutic touch and environmental therapies. I say an extended withdrawal process as Narconon’s withdrawal is only complete when a person is stably off drugs and no longer adversely affected by drugs. Often a person experiences a noticeable health improvement and increased interest in continuing the Narconon rehab process.

Is rehab an opportunity or a punishment?

Some believe that rehab should be a place where you skulk around feeling pitiful, possibly even treated like a wet rag. Others believe that rehab should be a punishment, where a person has to be broken down and stripped of their strong headed attitudes. These attitudes about rehab programs came about through animal training and a repentant attitude of having done wrong. Neither Pavlovian animal training nor hyper critical demoralizing techniques are rehabilitation. Breaking down wild animals and ego destruction has little or nothing to do with rehabilitating people.

Rehabilitation at Narconon Centers

A rehab program should bring a person’s true personality out and rid them of their false characteristics. A Narconon rehab program never criticizes the person, instead their actions may be wrong and need to be amended. At Narconon rehab centers, people are treated with a great deal of dignity and granted importance for who they are. They are expected to reclaim their lives and take control of life again, despite the situations they may find themselves in.

Rehab means to rehabilitate or bring back to normal or proper functioning or state. A Narconon rehab center counselors assume their is a rightness about the individual that needs to be assisted back into operation.

The Narconon rehab program is a social betterment program focusing on social skills, honesty, integrity and improving ones own lot in life. While understanding and compassion for someone who’s realized that they’ve really messed up is an integral part of rehab, the focus is educating Narconon students to be more successful and effective community citizens.

Self respect and confidence in self are the result of pride in doing the right thing. Self respect is not something that can be given to someone or attained through medications. Self confidence is earned. Rehabilitation is a the process of helping another bring out the best in themselves so they can regain pride in themselves.

Narconon is a rehabilitation program focusing on Social Educational skills.

The integrity of the program comes from an insistence by Narconon International that all Narconon rehab programs follow the exact routines necessary to gain a drug-free life for all enrolling. This means that due to the extensive work required for the client, the Narconon program will take an average of 3 to 5 months. The goal is to get a person regaining control of their own lives.

Rehab Program at Narconon

The Narconon program can be viewed in 3 phases:

1. Withdrawal / detox from physically addictive substances
2. Rehabilitation from a lifestyle of drug abuse
3. Re-introduction back to society

1 Narconon withdrawal and detox

Any person experiencing a withdrawal and detox at a Narconon rehab center knows that withdrawal and detox at a Narconon program is totally different than any rehab program or hospital they’ve been to before.

No drugs or list of prescriptions are given out. One is never doped up with pharmaceuticals in the day or night. No drugs are used at a Narconon rehab center.

Rehabilitation at a Narconon Center

Rehabilitation means to bring back to life. At a Narconon rehab, this means to bring back to a life no longer needing drugs or alcohol to function.

Narconon uses a social educational or learning model of rehabilitation. A social learning model is a method of rehab that assumes a person can and should learn and develop new and better skills, understanding and behaviors in order to master their lives without dependency to drugs / alcohol.

Specialized techniques, powerful processes and learning new skills are necessary components of the Narconon social educational model of rehabilitation.

3. Return to Society

Near the end of completing the Narconon rehab program, a student / client works out a full return program with a Narconon counselor. A 3 to 6 month plan is drawn out by the graduating Narconon student. This plan will include relapse prevention, goals, steps to make up damage to society, etc.

This return program should be known by the students closest associates when he or she returns home after graduating the Narconon rehab program.
