Narconon Drug Rehab Program Steps

In response to this need, L. Ron Hubbard researched and developed methods to help addicts through the anguish of withdrawal without the use of potentially addictive drugs. In 1973, Narconon staff adopted this "drug-free withdrawal" procedure, using vitamin and mineral supplements along with special techniques to ease the mental and physical symptoms.
