Prescription Drugs – who would have known that the random pills and potions in your medicine cabinet would end up competing with marijuana for your kid’s attention and their addiction? Well it just so happens that those unassuming pills and potions once thought harmless are much more deadly than they look and they are fast [...]
Its like a modern day version of the movie HOME ALONE, except the bad guys are drug addicts. Posing as the Ice Cream man, drug dealers were driving through New York City in an ice cream truck. Children could buy drum sticks and later on the addicts bought oxycodone. Momentarily clever, but, like the bad [...]
Many of us could probably write a book about addiction. It’s ruined enough lives and enough have been saved from it, that it makes interesting reading. Since there are so many stories, the ones we need to tell are the ones that will have an impact on the reader such an impact that it is [...]
Narconon is happy to see another state come up with a proposal to deal with prescription drug abuse. The legislatures have proposed the creation of a drug monitoring program, which will ultimately help identify those with a problem. While this alone will not solve the problem, anything which puts prescription drug abuse in the light [...]
We live in a society filled with temptation, where drugs and alcohol are illegal for minors but still easy to obtain.

Project Prevention has decided that the correct handling for women who [...]
Narconon has studied many theories as to how people get addicted, but this one is quite interesting. The article cites many life situations that could lead an individual to seek relief from a drug, only to get trapped later in the throes of addiction. The article is correct in that we won’t fix the problem [...]
Narconon deals with addiction every day and we occasionally meet people like Charlie Sheen. Fortunately, many of them lose their aversion to treatment and buckle down and take responsibility for their lives. Right now, Charlie is trying to convince us that he is from another planet, thinking we will believe that drugs won’t affect someone [...]
Narconon agrees with this excellent article in the Huffington post. There are better ways to deal with addiction than throwing people in jail and giving them a record.
