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.

There is no question as to why teenagers are binge drinking more – they have been learning about alcohol for a while during commercials on their favorite TV shows.
This interesting article in Join Together sheds light on the truth about alcohol advertising – it is purposefully aimed at kids to create future drinkers (and ultimately, sadly for some, alcoholics).
We need airtime for effective treatment and prevention.

"Alcohol companies have pledged to avoid advertising on TV programs with 30 percent or more youth viewership, but a new study of cable TV shows that the programs that fall under this threshold but retain the most popularity with kids tend to have the most alcohol advertising, Medical News Today reported Aug. 21.
Researcher from UCLA and the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY) looked at 600,000 alcohol ads aired on cable between 2001 and 2006 and concluded that shows with the highest percentage of viewers ages 12 to 20 had the largest number of alcohol ads. Ads for beer, liquor and alcopops rose in correlation with the youth audience percentage, but wine ads decreased.
"This research suggests that ads are aimed at groups that include a disproportionate number of teens and that the alcohol industry's voluntary self-monitoring is not working to reduce adolescent exposure to ads," said CAMY director David Jernigan."
