Many people in 12-step programs fail to work the program, or study the book, Alcoholics Anonymous. The Doctor’s Opinion at the beginning of the book describes that medical and psychological treatment are usually necessary to achieve any success, and the program “suggests” the steps as a method of recovery. Those who study carefully realize that you can be a “recovered” alcoholic or addict, and not that recovery is life-long. Oh, and it’s free.

That is certainly a hot topic there, Fredric, but I would also point this out: can any treatment center or rehab program really boost superior success rates to Narconon? The answer is that they can not. I am definitely not Pro-Narconon, but I am more about exploring new treatment options.

Ask yourself 3 questions:

1) Who is leading the treatment industry?

2) What is their success rate?

3) How do they define success?

The answers to those 3 questions, when you dig in and do the research, leave very little hope. I want to somehow change this over the long run. It might be a lofty goal but I think it is well worth pursuing.

Be very careful — Scientology’s fake “drug treatment” fraud they commit calling themselves “NarCONon” is proven dangerous and, in any event, does not work. It is a financial scam perped against the most vulnerable among us.

Seek legitimate treatment, absolutely, but do not fall for Scientology’s “NarCONon” frauds. For details about Scientology’s fake “drug treatment” scam, check out http://www.crackpots.org/ and see what doctors, health officials, and law enforcement have to say about this Scientology crime.
