Alcoholism and drug addiction are not diseases

At Narconon Arrowhead we know that drug addiction and alcoholism are not diseases.

More than 50 years ago alcoholism was voted in to be considered a disease, however, it is still just a theory.

There has not been a single study that has been able to prove conclusively that alcoholism or drug addiction are diseases. But most drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs in Levit, Pennsylvania tell addicts that they have a disease and that it will affect them for the rest of their lives.

Narconon Arrowhead is a leader in drug rehab effectiveness through its individualized drug-free rehabilitation program. Our drug rehab program is longer-term and varied in length, rather than a fixed time period, simply because one size does not fit all and a 28 day program typically is not enough.
