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.

This article published in the TIMES INTERNET summarizes the overall situation with drug addiction in this country very well.
The bottom line is that we have 23 million drug addicts in this country. Whether they are abusing cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine or prescription drugs, the reason most of them continue to use drugs is that they cannot afford drug treatment.
Illicit drug use is costing this country plenty through lost production and the cost of incarceration.
How can we afford NOT to provide treatment? Addiction has a heavy price and someone is going to win up paying.
Instead of paying for the ill effects of drug addiction – the illnesses, accidents, consequences of illegality, etc. etc., why not invest this money in effective drug rehab?
Not only would we save money – most importantly we would be saving the lives of our citizens.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 15 (UPI) --
Untreated alcohol and drug addiction in the United States remains at pandemic levels, with little change from year to year, an expert says.
Victor Capoccia, director of the Closing the Addiction Treatment Gap initiative -- a nationwide effort to expand addiction treatment -- says 23 million Americans are addicted to alcohol and drugs, but only one in 10 are treated.
Capoccia says the annual National Survey on Drug Use and Health Data released by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration shows in 2008, 23.1 million persons ages 12 or older needed treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol use problem -- consistent with numbers reported in previous years.
The most common reason cited by those who wanted treatment but did not receive any was the inability to pay for it.
"The nation is focused on how best to reform our healthcare system. Access to effective addiction treatment will save billions of dollars over a decade's time compared with the costs and health complications that come with not treating people at all," Capoccia said in a statement.
"Ignoring any disease -- be it addiction, diabetes or hypertension -- is bad medicine and should not be an option in today's healthcare system. Addiction treatment should be fully covered by all insurance plans."
