Narconon of Georgia Warns of Excessive Drinking

Narconon of Georgia, a non 12-step long term drug rehab, is working to bring in the New Year with the lowest incidence of alcohol related traffic accidents on record through a public awareness campaign that has been ongoing throughout the holidays.

Mary Rieser, Executive Director of Narconon of Georgia, stressed: “Sadly enough, there are some New Years predictions that every year prove to be reliable.  One is that more people are likely to die in alcohol-related traffic crashes on New Years Eve than on any other day of the year.

“Many people would be better off to bring in the New Year without the drink and with a resolution to make 2008 alcohol free.  If more knew the facts about alcohol they might opt to watch Dick Clark in the Big Apple, rent a movie or make resolutions for the New Year that are sensible and not forgotten in the morning because of a bad hangover.

“So we are telling everyone to have a good time this year, but remember a few facts that can protect them and their friends before the party begins.

“Alcohol can affect self control.  It depresses the nervous system and lowers inhibitions. It can cause loss of coordination, poor judgment, slowed reflexes, double vision, loss of memory and possible blackouts, all of which can lead to accidents.

“If there is going to be drinking, make sure there is a designated driver. If you notice anyone at the party slurring their speech or acting inappropriately keep us all safe and help these people to get home safely. Let’s change the predictions this year and make sure that everyone arrives to 2008 alive and well.”

Happy New Year from Narconon of Georgia Executives and Staff!

Narconon Trains Foreign Addiction Counselor

Narconon of Georgia recently trained a counselor of an orphanage in Honduras on Narconon New Life Detoxification Program implementation.  She will be joining a medical doctor and director, previously trained by Narconon of Georgia, and now working in Honduras with the orphans addicted to contact cement.

As a long term non traditional drug treatment center, Narconon of Georgia was approached earlier this year by this organization, looking for solutions to the growing epidemic of street orphans addicted to glue.

There are sixteen million children living on the streets in Latin America.  They have been orphaned, abandoned or have fled from violent and exploitive situations.    Many of these children are addicted to glue.  The glue stops them from getting hungry.  For a brief time after inhaling glue, the children actually feel no hunger, no cold and no discomfort.  When the period passes they crave more glue and take it with severe health and mental damage.

The orphanage in Honduras took many street children in, only to find that they would run away, back to the streets, to feed their addiction.  The safety and comfort of the orphanage were not stronger than the addiction to the glue and the orphanage personnel searched for solutions.

After being contacted by a local Atlanta synagogue, working with the orphanage, Narconon of Georgia helped to establish the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program in Honduras.  They assisted in everything from getting donations of nutrients, a sauna stove and money.   Staff from the orphanage trained in Narconon of Georgia.  Once trained, Narconon of Georgia staff returned to Honduras to ensure proper implementation of the program.   Forty children have successfully completed the Narconon New Life Detoxification and the orphanage staff reports that there are fewer runaways as the body detoxification process is reducing the drug cravings.

The Executive Director of Narconon stated in a recent interview, “I am proud of Narconon’s contribution to these children.  If all of us took a little piece of the world and worked to make it better, in no time at all this world could be a beautiful place.”

Narconon of Georgia Assists Concerned Black Clergy

Narconon of Georgia, along term drug treatment center, announced its commitment of continued support for the worthy causes of the Concerned Black Clergy of Metropolitan Atlanta. Inc. (CBC) in the upcoming year.

The mission of the Concerned Black Clergy, chartered May 9, 1983, is to provide leadership, advocacy and service to the homeless, helpless and hopeless in their community.  Drug use is a contributing factor for many of the unfortunate circumstances in Atlanta, and is of critical concern to the CBC.  Ms. Sunshine Lewis, Public Relations forNarconon of Georgia, has worked together with the CBC for several years to help educate children on the problems of drug abuse anddrug addiction in the Metro Atlanta area.

“The only way we will combat the rising tide of gang violence, drug trade and drug abuse in our communities is by helping our children become educated on what drugs are and how they ruin young lives.” stated Ms. Lewis. “Without the proper role models and guidance, the future for these children looks bleak.”

Coordinating with the CBC, Narconon of Georgia, a non-12 step addiction recovery center, has provided drug education, support and mentorship to children across Atlanta. Mary Rieser, executive director of Narconon stated, “This is one business where you would prefer to think that you won’t have a lot of customers in the future.   Every kid we educate now, means one kid that we will not see arriving for drug abuse treatment in the future.”

Ms. Rieser went on to say, “Let’s get real – the war on drugs isn’t working.  As a society we must decide where to put our resources in order to effectively deal with addiction. Education and increased awareness of the drug problem, along with effective drug abuse treatment are the only way we can deal with this problem. We want those who are on drugs to know that there is hope.  For those who are not using drugs, we intend to send the message – ‘Don’t start.  Life is hell for the drug addict.’”

Narconon of Georgia Provides Drug Education

Narconon of Georgia, along term drug treatment program, continues to provide drug education to the Boys and Girls Club in Atlanta.  Two hundred and fifty children recently learned about the harmful effects of drugs through a lively presentation of the “Ten Things Your Friends May Not Know About Drugs.”

The kids learned how drugs affect the mind, make a person slow or stupid, dull the senses and destroy creativity.   They also learned that ecstasy is one of the most dangerous drugs and marijuana is not as innocent as some are led to believe.

Marlon Andrews, director of a Boys and Girls Club applauded Narconon, stating in a recent letter; “As youth-development professionals, we have an obligation to make sure our young people are receiving quality programs that aide them in correcting their bad habits and decision making.  Your program has changed the whole mind set of our  young people. They no longer view drug use as a recreational past time.  This program has taught my teenagers the responsibility of taking care of their bodies, mind, and building healthy relationships with their peers.

Gino Lewis, Community Relations for Narconon of Georgia, stated, “We must stop the decline in our society, caused by drugs now.   In Georgia, about one third of our students reported being offered, sold or given an illegal drug on school property within the past year.  Our children depend on us to shine the light on the truth about drugs and show them a better way.   At Narconon, we know that while we educate kids about the dangers of drugs, we must teach them basic life skills at the same time.  This gives them a more complete recipe on how to live a drug free and prosperous life.”
