Narconon Drug Rehab Georgia’s main focus is helping drug addicts live healthy, drug-free, productive lives. However, drug education is another area that is stressed by the staff of Narconon.

On October 26th, downtown Atlanta was treated to a live band as Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia celebrated Red Ribbon Week in Woodruff Park, in downtown Atlanta.

“Our goal is to educate people on the dangers of drug abuse,” commented Mary Rieser, Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab Georgia. “One way is celebrating Red Ribbon Week, with live music and drug education literature warning young and old alike about the dangers of drug abuse. Drug prevention is easier, less expensive, and saves lives. We are happy to provide a fun time as well as educating the public.”

The local band, sponsored by Narconon, set up in Woodruff Park, on the corner of Auburn Ave and Peachtree Street downtown, and played songs written by Michael JacksonLouis Armstrong, as well as original compositions.

“We must have passed out three thousand pieces of literature on drug education,” comments Ms. Rieser. “Thousands stopped to listen to the band, and everyone was dancing. It was a great time. This has been a tradition for several years, and the turnout just gets better every year.”
