Don't Buy Into the "Disease" Theory of Alcoholism and Drug Addiction

For more than 50 years around Oak Park village, Illinois and across the world, alcoholism (and more recently drug addiction) has been touted by "experts" as a life-long affliction, a "disease" that can never be cured.

This preposterous idea is just a theory that has never been proven. In spite of the fact that not a single scientific study has been able to show that alcoholism or drug addiction is a disease, most drug rehab and alcohol addiction treatment programs still tell addicts that they have a disease and that will affect them for the rest of their life.

This is not our philosophy at Narconon Arrowhead.

Of the approximately 11,000 drug addiction rehab centers in the country, Narconon Arrowhead stands out as a leader through its individualized drug-free rehabilitation program. Narconon's drug rehab program is also varied in length rather than a fixed time period because addicts are just people, and no two people are the same.
