The Narconon drug rehabilitation program is known to give results. With over 100 centers worldwide, our comprehensive network of drug rehabilitation centers have helped thousands of individuals go on to live drug-free and productive lives.
"A 70% Success Rate"
Our unique biophysical, 100% natural, drug rehab program ensures that the drug addict will not be dependent on a substitute drug when he leaves our drug rehab center. At Narconon, we don't consider drug addiction as a disease, nor treat the drug addicts as ill. We believe that drug addiction results from bad choices or specific circumstances, that lead the individual to compromise his health. That is why our all-natural drug rehab program includes two major components:
- The New Life Detoxification Sauna
- Life Improvement Courses
Our complete drug rehab program treats drug addiction to its source with an all-natural sauna detoxification method and specifically designed courses to give the drug addict the tools he needs to stay drug-free and sober.

Drug addiction is commonly defined as the continuing, compulsive nature of drug use despite physical and/or psychological harm to the user and society. This includes both legal and illicit drugs, and the term "substance abuse" is now frequently used because of the broad range of substances (including alcohol and inhalants) that can fit the addictive profile.
There are two main types of drug dependence: psychological and physical. Psychological dependence is the subjective feeling that a drug abuser needs the drug to maintain a feeling of well being. Physical dependence is characterized by tolerance (the need for increasingly larger doses in order to achieve the initial effect) and withdrawal symptoms when the user is abstinent.
It was once thought that an alcoholic or other drug addict had to "hit rock bottom" before help could be offered and accepted — that only self-motivated drug addicts could change. Today, a skilled professional counselor can motivate a drug addict toward recovery. This is called intervention.
