While many drug rehab statistics are nebulous, Narconon boasts a 76% success rate, based on a two year follow-up. A key to our success is the Narconon New Life Detoxification program. Through the use of a sauna, we provide body detoxification that can help eliminate or reduce cravings. Research has shown that, detoxification from drugs or alcohol should be followed by effective treatment to achieve long-term success. We provide that effective treatment. Our non-12 step approach provides life skills necessary to maintain sobriety and lead a successful life. These life skills will help the addict identify and resolve problems through learned techniques, rather than turn to drugs as they have in the past. For more information on how the Narconon program can help you or a loved one, go to www.drugsno.com or www.alternativesentence.com or call 877-413-3073.

The fastest growing group to enter drug rehab is the group in their early 50s – the baby boomers. We need to recognize who they are and service them accordingly. They usually have little in common with more elderly clients and don’t want to be around kids. They are a group onto themselves.
These baby boomers most likely attended Rolling Stone and Grateful Dead concerts before these guys turned gray themselves. Many remember the days when there was talk of peace and love over a joint and they were the first generation of pot smoking politicians. This generation safely brought us into the new high tech century, still maintaining their individuality in a world where computer screens have replaced faces.
These “young old” need help in addressing substance abuse problems on their own terms. Most struggle with alcohol and prescription addiction, but unlike addicts older than them, many have problems with marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine.
Experts predict that by 2020 there will be 4.4 million older people in the US with a substance abuse problem.
As this group is growing and will continue to, as providers we must be prepared to service them. Some facilities have already started to only accept persons age 55 and older. Others are not even aware of the baby boomers because they are servicing a younger crowd and the baby boomers won’t be coming around.
At Narconon, while we service all ages, we provide the opportunity to live and associate with those who are similar in age and interests while doing the program.
The baby boomers can remain the free thinking and independent group that they have always been.
Call Narconon of Georgia if you know someone who needs our services.
We are the new life program. 877-413-3073
