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.

More and more kids are getting arrested for underage drinking. Many of these kids come from affluent neighborhoods and are popular kids. One such girl, recently featured in a newspaper article, had been a cheerleader and very much part of the “in crowd” at her school. This pretty cheerleader recently found herself in handcuffs and sentenced to probation.
In a recent statewide survey 25 percent of high school seniors admit to binge drinking at least once in the last month. (Binge drinking is defined as having five or more drinks at one episode.)
56 percent of the kids said that they had used alcohol in the last month.
Why are so many kids drinking and why are some drinking themselves into oblivion?
In the case of the pretty cheerleader she said she was bored. When drinking is the thing to do, kids don’t develop the ability create activities that don’t involve alcohol. Life can appear boring, because they simply have not learned that there is a big world out there and lots of opportunity for adventure. Living life to the fullest is an art, which for some, needs to be developed.
Unless this art is developed before adulthood, life may be short and miserable for many of our bright kids.
There are solutions. It starts with the family. Talk to your kids and learn the truth about their life and how they feel about it. Introduce them to activities.
Let’s change what the “in crowd’ is doing so the “in crowd” makes it into adult years and can become the leaders in society we will need.
If you know someone who needs help with alcohol treatment and recovery, call Narconon of Georgia at 877-413-3073.
