An Introduction to Narconon Drug Rehabilitation and Prevention – Narconon: Ending drug addiction and helping the afflicted regain their lives and repair family ties. Fact: More money is spent on illicit drugs than on food, clothing, housing or medical care. Whether afflicted or not, drug addiction affects all of us. While the obvious solution is to prevent drug abuse before it occurs, the fact remains that some have long passed the point of prevention. They need help. They deserve help. And that is why the Church of Scientology has dedicatedly worked in the field of drug rehabilitation for over forty years through sponsorship of Narconon. Its success rate speaks for itself. Consequently, the only question is how many of those already afflicted can be helped on the road to rehabilitation. And for that reason, no matter its success to date, we work day by day to expand this program even further.
