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.

Letting kids know that they are contributing to the violent Cartels when they are buying and smoking pot is the right message to send. While pot smoking in the 60s came to represent peace and love, today it represents hate and murder. It also represents lowered ambition, stupidity and the possibility of abusing more dangerous drugs, such as cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin.
Keep pushing effective drug education and where needed, effective drug treatment.

‘Some drug-prevention groups are shifting their message to students based on current events, equating smoking marijuana to supporting Mexico's violent drug cartels, the Wall Street Journal reported April 10.
Groups like the North Coastal Prevention Coalition in San Diego County have tabbed April 20 -- annually marked as the "420" pro-marijuana holiday -- to focus on the moral dimension of youth marijuana use as well as the health and legal reasons to avoid using the drug.
"This is a prime opportunity for us to educate them about how every bit of marijuana someone smokes here is giving more power and more money to the drug cartels in Mexico," said Aaron Byzak, president of the coalition, who will give an address to more than 1,000 students at an amusement park on April 20.
Researcher Lloyd Johnston, principal investigator of the annual Monitoring the Future Study, said that the Obama administration and groups like the Partnership for a Drug-Free America also should link the violence in Mexico to prevention messages. Johnston equated the tactics with successful antismoking campaigns that focus on the harm done to others, such as from secondhand-smoke exposure.
Legalization advocates, on the other hand, said that the Mexican drug violence has helped spark debates about a shift in the war on drugs.
The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy has previously tried to link illicit-drug use with support of terrorism, notably in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. "A lot of young people, especially teenagers, can sometimes be a little impervious to just simply, 'This is bad for your health,' or 'This is bad for your future,"' said former drug czar John Walters. "They are idealistic and ... they don't like supporting people who kill others and harm the innocent."
