Narconon’s International Training Center, Narconon Arrowhead in Oklahoma.

     To date, L. Ron Hubbard’s drug rehabilitation methods are employed in more than 70 nations around the world and have successfully freed more than 100,000 individuals from drug dependence. Mr. Hubbard’s methods are further employed exclusively by the international drug rehabilitation network, Narconon. Broadly praised for its unique effectiveness, Narconon demonstrates five times the success rate of all other drug rehabilitation programs. And those successfully completing the Narconon program have been found not only to be drug-free but also crime-free. Case in point: a 1987 Spanish study revealed that prior to the Narconon program 73 percent of those addicted to drugs also sold drugs. Following the completion of other drug rehabilitation programs, 37.9 percent of those studied continued dealing drugs. Among a similar group of addicts completing the Narconon program, none dealt in drugs. Likewise, whereas other programs were able to reduce drug-related robberies to 32.2 percent, those completing the Narconon program no longer committed any robberies.

     In the United States, Narconon’s 200-acre rehabilitation centre and training facility is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), widely recognised as a leading U.S. authority on drug rehabilitation programmes. CARF’s standards are the highest in the nation and have been adopted by many states and federal agencies as the benchmark for all rehabilitation programmes.
