Addiction can be ended. Our statistics show that the majority of our graduates have achieved this freedom.
Stable recovery is achievable. Once past the physical cravings, through participation in the Narconon New Life Detoxification program, our clients develop life skills necessary to maintain a drug-free life.
The program is described below. (Narconon clients are referred to as students because they are learning how to obtain and maintain long-term sobriety and happiness.)
The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program
The New Life Detoxification Program purges the body of drug residues, greatly reducing or completely removing cravings. 
Many addictive substances can be stored in the fat tissue. Research has established that both pharmaceutical and so-called recreational drugs can remain in the body for en extended time. While drugs and their metabolites quickly become undetectable in blood and urine, some as rapidly as 3 days after last usage, drug metabolites remain stored in fatty tissues for years. These drug residues continue to cause drug cravings and are a factor in relapse. This has led researchers to develop a program aimed at reducing levels of toxins in the body thus assisting recovery.
For example, marijuana can be found in urine up to 77 days after its last use. While cocaine is generally considered to be a rapidly metabolized drug, studies of cocaine users show that un-metabolized cocaine is found 5-10 days after the last use of the drug. When fats are mobilized during times of stress or hunger, the drug residues are also mobilized and go into the bloodstream. Cravings are almost impossible to resist, – relapse occurs.

The Narconon New Life Detoxification program addresses drug metabolites through and exact regimen that consists of the following:
A. Exercise, preferably running, to stimulate circulation.
B. Prescribed periods in a low heat sauna to promote perspiration.
C. An exact regimen of vitamins, mineral and oil intake.
D. Sufficient liquids to offset the loss of body fluids through sweating.
E. Regular diet supplemented with plenty of fresh vegetables.
F. A properly ordered personal schedule, which provides the person with the normally required amounts of sleep.
The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program has resulted in astonishing improvements in students who consistently report:
- Ability to think more clearly.
- Improved memory and attention span.
- Greater energy.
- Increased awareness of surroundings.
- Increased feeling of general well being.
- Reduction or elimination of many symptoms associated with drug addiction, including depression, irritability and fatigue.
- Enthusiasm towards life.
The graph depicts cocaine metabolites excreted in the sweat and urine of clients participating in the Narconon® New Life Detoxification Program. Levels of drug metabolites are not detectable in clients prior to the start of this program, then increased dramatically and slowly tapered off as the program is continued. This supports the argument that drug residues remain in the fatty tissues and that the correct treatment can mobilize and remove them through the body’s excretory systems.

Once the student is through , through the Narconon New Life Detoxification program, the student develops life skills necessary to create and maintain a productive, drug-free life.
Handling the Biochemical Personality
Once the subject has worked through the physical aspect of addiction and is thinking clearly, the Narconon program moves through a series of specialized courses to help the student recognize addiction life-style and thought processes.
Developing a realistic and workable sense of personal ethics and responsibility is a vital part of this recovery. Chronic drug abuse is associated with poor communication skills, financial difficulties, a detrimental system of values and attitudes, criminal behavior and poor comprehension of long-term goals. Once these are identified and addressed, Narconon social rehabilitation steps nurture the development of interpersonal communication skills, personal values, integrity and individual responsibility. These courses complement each other:
- The Learning Improvement Course enables the individual to enhance reading and comprehension skills. It enhances the ability to acquire and retain knowledge and overcome the barriers to study and learning no matter what one is studying in life.
- The Communication and Perception Course aids in breaking past impulsive behaviors and helps the individual overcome “living in the past.
- The Personal Values and Integrity Course is an ethics-based study program, the goal being to improve choices in life by applying the basic concepts of ethics and morals.
- The Ups and Downs in Life Course is designed to help students identify and disconnect from anti-social associations or relationships that may have adversely influenced them in the past, and gives fresh guidelines for the future.
- The Changing Conditions in Life Course teaches the individual to divide life into separate categories (self, family, group and spiritual) in order to inspect and repair damaged areas by utilizing practical formulas.
- The Way to Happiness Course teaches the individual 21 guidelines that cover a moral and ethical code and way of living resulting in a happier, more productive person.
After successfully finishing each course, the student completes a few more personalized steps before graduation.
The student examines and rehabilitates relationships with self, family and friends in preparation for creating a life plan for continued sobriety, stability and growth. Family and friends are contacted as necessary on this step, under the guidance of our supervisors.
The student develops a step by step exit life plan.
The family is invited to Narconon to assist in this life plan and to participate in our family course designed to teach the family support skills.
Narconon staff members ensure that the life exit plan contains plans for continued support after leaving the program, whether it is from family, church, weekly meetings, etc. (Narconon offers weekly support meetings for its graduates.)
After verification that each step of the program has been thoroughly completed and the life exit planning is sufficient and realistic, the Case Supervisor gives final approval for graduation.
Narconon graduates leave Narconon enthused and ready to embark on their new life with the life plan and support team to ensure they make it!
