In Response

In response to Fred Hetzel, Jr's comment about the Narconon Drug Rehabilitation and Education Program, I would like to offer some facts instead of opinion. 

Narconon has had several outcome studies conducted proving its effectiveness in settings where clients are residential, out-patient and even incarcerated and followed upon parole.  These studies have conclusively proven that the success rate of Narconon program graduates remains at approximately 70% or above on a consistent basis, regardless of the setting.

Some of these studies can be viewed at Narconon Arrowhead's main website www.stopaddiction.com by clicking on "Narconon Research". 

Mr. Hetzel eluded to a disapproval of the Narconon facility in Oklahoma by the state of Oklahoma, however, we are certified by the Oklahoma Board of Mental Health and Substance Abuse for non-medical detoxification, therefore his statements have been once again proven false.  In addition, Narconon Arrowhead has been accredited nationally by the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission (CARF) for over a decade.

I encourage anyone who read his comments to check it out and see for themselves.  The Narconon program is only opposed by people who are against non-traditional treatment methods or who misunderstand what effective rehabilitation actually is. 

We are a drug-free program and use vitamins and minerals to help restore health to individuals ruined by drug and alcohol abuse.  Why would someone attack a program that is saving lives by helping people overcome addiction throughout the world? 

In closing, I must say, that I would also not be here today if it were not for the Narconon program, because I am one of the successful 70%.
