Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs work hand in hand with medical facilities to achieve a cure and help people overcome their addiction. The problem is if you follow the Church of Scientology the doctrine talks about achieving a healthy life through mental condition, which is directly opposite of many drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. That is why the Church of Scientology came up with the program Narconon.

Narconon is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that focuses on the mental and spiritual healing of the substance abuser, instead of the medical aspect of healing. Here’s a look at some of the details of the Narconon program.

Addressing Underlining Issues

Narconon believes in addressing addicts current addiction while also tackling any emotional or mental problems that might have caused the addiction to surface in the first place. Underlining issues are addressed through group and individual therapy as well as obtaining spiritual guidance by trained professionals.

The Purification Rundown Technology

Narconon operates on a system that works to address the addiction in steps. The steps involve helping the addict detox, get the body back on track nutritionally and work to help them get back into good spiritual standing. These courses operate under the belief that drugs and alcohol create toxic residue in the body which causes you to stray from society. To get these toxins out Narconon encourages exercise, hot baths and nutritional supplements to get you back into a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.

While Narconon is typically used by those who follow Scientology it is also used by those who practice holistic medicine and want to overcome their addiction in a safe and natural way.
