Narconon Fresh Start offers addicted individuals many
benefits that just aren’t available at other programs. To start with, Narconon
Fresh Starts builds their treatment model around the concept that individuals
can find full resolution to their addiction. This means that once someone
completes the Narconon Fresh Start program, they aren’t going to have to attend
meetings for the rest of their life like some other programs such as AA for
example. While there are after care services available at our programs and
individuals are always encouraged to contact treatment counselors as needed,
this isn’t a mandatory step as part of a lifetime “recovery” process. This is
because at Narconon Fresh Start, we don’t treat addiction as a disease, but as
a choice. This puts the individual in full control of their addiction and their
choices in regards to it, not in the position of a victim.
At Narconon Fresh Start we offer a unique detoxification
process to fully rid the body of drugs and toxins which could affect the person
when they leave the program at any point. Our detoxification step includes a
sauna program which incorporates exercise and supplements to get an individual
completely purified, and in a much better position physically and mentally to
be able to fully overcome their addiction. Drugs and toxins can remain lodged
in muscle and fatty tissues and find their way back into the person’s system
unexpectedly, which can cause them to experience unwanted effects and side
effects long after they stop taking drugs. This is commonly known as a
flashback, a scenario which isn’t going to happen if the individual is properly
detoxed and all of these substances effectively flushed from their bodies. So
the purification step of the Narconon Fresh Start program is an innovative and
proven way to accomplish this.
Once an individual has completed the detox process at
Narconon Fresh Start, the rehabilitation process continues with the focus
turning to things which trigger the individual’s substance abuse. For example,
they may have low self-esteem, or an inability to communicate freely with
others. There could be something in their lives which deeply affected them and
changed the course of their life for the worse, such as a failure or an abusive
relationship. Each step of the Narconon Fresh Start programs brings all these
types of issues to the surface to that they can be effectively resolved. There
are communication training drills and life drills so that individuals have the
ability to cope through certain situations in their lives better; situations
which may have been difficult for them in the past and are the reasons they
turned to drugs and alcohol in the first place. There are also steps taken to
help the individuals do a thorough examination of their relationships, and things
they can do to shed negative and abusive ones from their lives and make amends
to the people who are their real allies and will provide positive support when
they leave treatment. All of these steps guarantee a more positive and
permanent outcome, and why the Narconon Fresh Start program has such a high
success rate.
