Narconon Suncoast
A Drug Rehabilitation Solution
The new Narconon Suncoast campus in Clearwater joins other international Narconon facilities,
where they use uniquely effective rehabilitation technology to help those in need.
Sitting on seven acres, the new Narconon facility in Clearwater
is designed to deliver Narconon’s technology that uses
specially designed spaces for drug-free withdrawal. Here,
they offer one-on-one care and personalized attention that may be
needed to accomplish long-term success.
The students who enroll in this program learn to live drug-free
lives, as they are provided with the stability and comfort they need
to enable them to become free of their addictions and to rebuild
their lives without a dependency on drugs.
A critical step in this program is their New Life Detoxification
area that features a fitness center and saunas to help students
sweat out the toxic drug residues that tend to drive their cravings
to return to their former state. Proper nutrition and rest during
this phase of the program is essential. The next step is the Life
Skills courses that are designed to build the students’ knowledge
so that they can lead a successful drug-free life.
The long-term success of this program is dependent upon the
students’ abilities to relax and rebuild that this environment
nurtures. Rest and nutritious dining help to speed recovery, as
students repair themselves in this stress-free environment.
The need for this type of treatment for addicts becomes
increasingly obvious each day, as we see more and more
individuals going through rehab programs and then, within a
short time, reverting back to their previous problems. Obviously,
the only way to determine if a particular program is effective is
to be able to measure the results by the number of graduates that
do not return to their addictions over an extended period of time.
Temporary solutions turn out to be no solution at all. If Narconon
has developed systems that, in fact, do have lasting benefits,
then they may well be what is needed to help this ever-growing
problem of addiction that seems to be overpowering many of
today’s youth.
