Synthetics are NOT a Solution May 12, 2017

Show notes

The current mentality and methodology for treating drug addiction is to substitute a "less dangerous" drug for the one addicted to. It's a "drug for drug" mentality and it's stupid. We don't mince words in this podcast. If you think you can handle addiction to heroin by switching to methadone or suboxone, you are dreaming or delusional - take your pick.

Drugs are not the problem. Drugs are the solution to whatever problem the addict can't quite face up to, so to just substitute one drug for another doesn't get at the underlying problem for which the drugs are the solution.

Opioids are killing more people that guns these days. That's an amazing statistic and scary at the same time.

If you are an addict, if you think you might be but aren't sure, if you know someone that you think might be abusing drugs - this is the podcast for you. You need to be educated and learn the tough truths about addiction and treatment.

When Help Fails May 06, 2017

Show notes

The standard 28 day rehab program often fails. When you consider that someone did not become addicted in 28 days - it took years upon years of scaling up to full on addiction - it doesn't make sense that a person can become clean in 28 days. However, 28 days is what insurance will pay for and so standard rehab programs are 28 days. When parents and loved ones come to Narconon for help, they often ask if rehab works. But trying to compare this program to the standard 28 day program is like comparing apples to zucchini - doesn't work. How Narconon does intervention with addicts who aren't yet up to realizing they need help. This podcast covers how it's done. People with addiction need help. This podcast helps to give hope to those in need and their loved ones.

Can Drug Rehab Cure Pain? Apr 28, 2017

Show notes

A large percentage of people addicted to drugs started on pain killers for some sort of pain. The thing is that the drugs can exacerbate the pain and add to it and cause it to get worse. Listen to the stories of how the Narconon program helped people overcome not only drug addiction - but the pain which started the whole "drugs as a solution" cycle. One woman was suffering from fibromyalgia pain and now is pain free. Another suffered from muscle tics and now no longer has them. The thing is that many of the drugs that are prescribed for pain ending up causing way more pain than the physical condition. Once the Narconon program eliminates the drugs from the person's system, the pain disappears. While some may consider Narconon the "alternative treatment program", Narconon should be the standard. This podcast discusses why Narconon is different and ultimately why it is so successful.
