/24-7PressRelease/ - CANADIAN, OK, January 22, 2008 - Perhaps the only ones who know the truth are the ones who lost years or decades of their lives to the substance. Like Rick, currently in rehab at Narconon Arrowhead, one of the country's leading drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, located in Canadian, Oklahoma. Rick described his experience with marijuana. "I started using marijuana while I was in college. After a while, I stopped showing up for classes, I called in sick. I lost my energy or drive to finish school. Eventually, I burned down my house while I was high and ended up homeless. It was like ten years of my life were just gone. The drug made me selfish and lazy."
Mark, a graduate of the Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, said "I started smoking marijuana when I was eighteen. In essence, I woke up at 45 and wondered what had happened to my life. I spent all those years disassociated from my life, introverted into the world of marijuana which was more real to me than the outside world. I tried to clean up on my own but was really mentally addicted to the drug. It took the Narconon program to bring me out of my apathy and back to life."
The Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is a long-term program that uses alternative methods to address and handle the guilt, cravings and depression that results from drug and alcohol addiction. The program includes a thorough detoxification of residual drug or alcohol toxins with a carefully-monitored program of exercise, sweating in a sauna and nutritional supplements. This is the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program, developed by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard in the late 1970s.
"The real solution to the addictive effects of marijuana is not legalization of the drug," stated Ryan Thorpe, Admissions Director of Narconon Arrowhead. "The Narconon program has been helping those addicted to marijuana or other drugs for more than 40 years. The sauna detoxification program is a major reason we have a seventy percent success rate two years after graduation from our program. It is such a powerful action that participants talk about smelling or re-sensing the drugs being emitted from their bodies while they are in the sauna. Those completing this step often talk about feeling clean and healthy again and not craving drugs any longer."

The Narconon program was founded in 1966 by William Benitez in Arizona State prison, and is based on the humanitarian works of L. Ron Hubbard. In more than 120 centers around the world, Narconon programs restore drug and alcohol abusers and addicts to a clean and sober lifestyle.
