PARENTS TAKE ACTION

Who would have thought the day would come when parents would feel the need to hire police dogs to see if their kids have drugs? It seems far-fetched, but it is happening and the reasons are easily understood, especially as the world watches the memorial of Michael Jackson.  We have already lost too many.

Narconon of Georgia warns parents that drug tests can be easily fooled.  A parent may be content in thinking that their teen is not taking drugs, when the actual fact is that the teen is faking the test results.  There was a recent local report of an overdose when a family thought their son had stopped using opiates because he had a clean drug test.  The truth was that he was cheating the tests and overdosed and died.  He had been using drugs in their presence, but they were looking at the tests, not him.

Dogs can be persuasive, but the best long term solution is for parents to learn the signs of abuse of the major drugs – methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, and opiates.  They all have their own signs and one can tell by observing if they are in the presence of a drug abuser.

Whatever the method, parents need to know if their child is on drugs.  Failing to find out can be fatal.

Narconon will provide free brochures to families who want to know the signs of drug abuse.  We also provide effective drug treatment – 76% success rate.

TRUE HAPPINESS IS MORE THAN APPEARANCE

NARCONON REFLECTION

Here is another Narconon reflection, written by someone who formally was a hopeless drug addict, using cocaine and heroin.  He wishes to communicate to others that there is hope through drug treatment.

“I have found a new side to myself.  There has always been this kind of tough guy I always thought I was, beating people up, tattoos, jail and prison – that kind of guy.

The thing is that this is not at all who I am.   Really I am just an individual who loves everybody and wants nothing but the best for everyone.  With that being said I have a whole lot of work to do.  I don’t want my son to grow up like I did with the mentality that the tough guy person is the way to be.

True happiness is more than appearance.  Well I guess what I am trying to say is that I am going to break the cycle.  I have some things to work on and these are things that I didn’t ever question before.  I can’t change over night, but in due time if I hold still the thought that I am going make a change and put it into action, I will have nothing more to regret and everyone close to me can lead a prosperous life.”

Florida Pain Clinics Fuel Prescription Drug Deaths Nationwide

Florida leads the nation in sales of Oxycodone, a powerful pain killer that has been linked to thousands of deaths across the country.

“It’s worse than crack cocaine and heroin have ever been,” said Special Agent Mike Driscoll, who heads the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s West Palm Beach office. “It’s an extremely serious problem, and it needs the attention of numerous agencies.”

Once being known as one of the biggest orange producers in the country, Florida has now become one of the largest sources of black market prescription medication.   In one county along, nearly 100 storefront pain clinics feed a black market in pain pills stretching through Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia and Massachusetts.

The pain clinics have largely avoided careful oversight due to a loophole in Florida law which allows the distribution of these drugs to go without monitoring if the clinics do not accept insurance.

”It’s unacceptable to open up a practice and call yourself a pain management physician and start writing prescriptions,” said Dr. Laura Brown, a physician on the board of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians. “That’s not pain management.”

In Kentucky the majority of illegal prescription drugs can be traced back to these pain clinics. Last year alone, at least 485 people died in that state from prescription drug overdoses, according to the state’s Cabinet for Health and Family Services.

Kentucky officials are calling this an epidemic.  The victims come from all walks of life.  They are the sons and daughters of prominent businessmen and politicians.  They are poor and wealthy.  They are all the victims of a system which allows suffering and does not provide drug treatment.

Unlike the deadly plagues of the middle ages, there is a known cure for this one – except not enough people are talking about it.

Narconon of Georgia provides drug treatment for all areas.  Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia is a non-traditional drug abuse treatment program with a 76% success rate.  We utilize a sauna and exercise program to reduce cravings, followed by life skills to KEEP a person off drugs.

Drug Addiction and Substance Abuse Root Cause of Crime

History will view this time as a dark age – an age where an entire generation suffered from drug addiction and were thrown into prison to recover, much like Bedlam

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 21.1 % of Americans ages eighteen to twenty five years old have alcohol or other drug problems serious enough to require drug addiction treatment.

Recent studies also show that the number of drug addicts needing but not receiving drug treatment is skyrocketing.  Some estimates put the figure at 91%.

The same study found that 93 percent of young adults classified as needing addiction treatment didn’t receive it, and that 96 percent of this population did not perceived any need for assistance.

Without receiving treatment, many of these individuals wind up in jail or prison.  This has escalated to the point where the United States leads the world in the percentage of citizens that are incarcerated.

How history is written from here depends on the choices that society makes concerning this epidemic.  There are plenty of studies to show which path will lead us into a more enlightened age.

For example, more than half of those in the criminal justice system who complete treatment programs and participate in aftercare do not commit new crimes.  On the other hand, most prisoners, who serve mandatory sentences, but get no treatment, commit new crimes and start using drugs or alcohol soon after release.

Which path will society choose?  The most economical and humane is obvious.   History will strongly judge those leaders who perpetuated the cruelty of addiction without offering the relief of recovery.   Those more enlightened individuals, who propose that addiction can and should be ended, though perhaps not listened to now, if eventually heard, will be viewed as the guiding light that showed this generation the way out.

History is always kinder to those who cared and helped, no matter the opposition, not vicious and self serving contemporaries.

Everyone knows that the good guy always wins.
