Narconon Proves Their Own Claims are Fraudulent

One of the multiple fraudulent activities of the Narconon program, and
possibly the most deceptive, is the promotion of it�s so-called success rate.

I wrote about this success rate in my book and have spoken about it to
various media outlets as well. However, despite statements and evidence
provided by me and countless others, Narconon International President Clark
Carr repeatedly claims that three out of four Narconon graduates remain
stably drug-free.

Then, in an attempt to �prove� their success, Narconon International compiled
a document called �40 Years of Evidence of Recovery�. I took some time to
examine this document in more detail.

I'm still hoping that federal credentialing guidelines will be established for Drug and Alcohol rehab centers, if they haven't been already. The Affordable Care Act (better known as Obamacare) will cover drug and alcohol rehab and there simply aren't enough facilities to treat the existing need, let alone what it will be after 2014 when the law fully kicks in...

I'd hate to see our tax dollars going towards Narconon facilities that don't effectively treat their patients just because they have open beds. :/

The addiction treatment industry is, in my opinion, one of the biggest
ongoing scams around -- and I don't just mean Narconon.

Hubbard was smart enough to get in on this lucrative racket, which shakes
down desperate people for tens of thousands of dollars apiece while offering
them little more than a change of environment.

Malibu, California is filled to the brim with these 'non-medical' treatment
centers, most of which are for-profit corporations (not that the "non-profit"
classification makes any real difference, as most non-profits in general are
lucrative cash-cows for the people who set them up.)

Like Narconon, many of these centers were founded by people with no medical
background whatsoever. And like Narconon, many offer no refunds, even when
they kick people out for breaking minor rules or whatever.

Call me cynical, but I tend to think that 'Obamacare' will mean that these
scam treatment centers are now going to be raping the taxpayer in addition to
the addict.

More than likely. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs can be quite successful... when administered by trained/medical professionals. I have an old friend who is a drug and alcohol abuse counselor for the VA and we have been watching this for a long time, hoping that rehab centers will be held to a higher credentialing standard as addiction IS a largely medical problem.

We all know how well places like Malibu work for celebs and other people who can afford em. Just look at Loony Lohan :P
