Narconon of Georgia  

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.

    Drug Company Responsible For Deaths

    Some are Still Suffering from Initial False Advertising on Oxycontin.

    Reportedly the six hundred million dollars that Oxycontin manufacturer, Purdue agreed  to pay in damages barely scratches the surface of the harm that has been done to Oxycontin users.

    Initial marketing, which minimized the addictive element of the pain killer Oxycontin, lured individuals in with its low risk of
    addiction hype.  The fact that Purdue pled guilty to criminal charges of misleading regulators, doctors and patients, did not change the fact that thousands had been prescribed the drug and many were already hopelessly drug addicted at the time of the verdict and still are.

    Very quickly after its release a large spike in deaths attributed to the drug began to appear in the poorer regions of the country.  The Appalachian areas were especially hit hard and the drug earned the nickname “hillbilly heroin”.

    In Massachusetts the state health care system reported 18,000 individuals were treated in emergency rooms for Oxycontin related overdoses in 2005. These hospital stays alone cost the state nearly $200 million.
