What Graduates Have to Say About Our Rehab Program

“This program gave me the means to get myself clean and to say clean forever.”

Sometimes there are experiences in one’s life that are difficult to explain in words. This is one such experience.

“Upon my arrival at Narconon Louisiana I had certain expectations of what I was going to do, what I was going to accomplish, and what was going to change for me. I can’t say that my hopes have always been reached, and surpassed but I can about this program.

“I knew I wanted to get off of drugs but didn’t how to do it. This program gave me the means to get myself clean and to say clean forever. When I figured out why I used drugs in the first place, I was blown away. Then, when I realized that I could get myself to a point where that reason no longer applied I was filled with hope.

“After that, things literally just started falling into place. I found what I want to do with my life. My family and friends are important to me again and I am back in communication with them. My ethics are in.

“I can not give enough praise to the staff. Never have I met a group of such ethical uptone people who really care about the survival of others. I feel so honored to be given the opportunity to join that group.

“Narconon Louisiana saved my life. It gave me hope, happiness and an inner peace I have never known. Thank you so much!”

“I am going to leave here profoundly and positively changed.”

“It is with sincere appreciation and gratitude that I write this success story. I am a Board Certified family physician practicing in Texas. I developed a progressively worsening, socially disabling depression and had turned to alcohol. I have many certificates and diplomas on my walls at home and the Narconon Louisiana one was the most difficult one for me to earn.

“Of course when I got here I wondered ‘what IS this place?!’ I was discouraged and unhappy and wanted to leave so many times, especially in the first half of my program. However, I stuck with it and finished. I am especially grateful for the staff for taking me on as their project and working on me. I was suspicious, but they were tenacious and I’m better off for it. I am going to leave here profoundly and positively changed. People are going to look at me and see a man who has really turned his life around. I have.

“I came here depressed and despondent with suicidal ideation. I was critical of others to an extreme and even more so to myself. I had such self loathing. However, I sustained many wins and gains and purged this nonsense from myself. I realize I am an amazing person, and more importantly, I am ok with it. I had wins throughout, but mainly in the latter stages of the program.

“I learned the way to happiness is honesty, with myself and others. I’m a good person. I live my life that way. I am good and everything else that matters falls into place. I no longer live my life to be validated by others because I have the insight and self awareness to validate myself. I don’t drink. I’m so excited. I now have the ability to confront and handle. I’m cause over my life, not effect of it and it feels great. Thank you for your perseverance and for believing in me and helping me to believe in myself.”

“I never thought I would find freedom or self-respect. Thank you!”

“[The Narconon program] has allowed me to let go of so much crap and shame and self loathing that I have had all of my adult life. Every time I think I have finished this issue I realize and find that there was even more wins for me to have. I know now that my relationships have been affected by my lack of trust, my unending search to find someone to protect me and to love me enough not to hurt me. But it was me. It has always been me that accepted less than I was worthy of. I have finally accepted and function solely under the belief that I am a worth while person, deserving of love, and most importantly, that I am strong enough to keep myself safe and demand that my boundaries be respected. I have lived my life since I was 13 years old deep in a pit of dirt and shame and regret and loss. Narconon Louisiana above all therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, rehabs, 12-step meetings, etc has given me the tools to get myself out of that pit. I never thought I would find freedom or self-respect. Thank you!”

“I feel that I have achieved true happiness.”

“I came to Narconon Louisiana after doing three 12-step programs and two psych wards from overdosing. I arrived here on six different psych meds, very depressed and hateful. I was able to get the drugs cleaned out of me and the rest of the courses really changed me. I now see and have my focus on my life and how it’s going. I feel that I have achieved true happiness. I am in control and will have a new and great life. Going through Narconon Louisiana was a blessing and one of the best experiences of my life.”

“The Narconon Louisiana program has given me my life back. It has given me the tools I need to live a productive, drug-free life. I feel I owe everything to this program and I am so much happier now than I was the day I came in. I feel very successful for graduating and I am eager to go live my life.”

“I have never been at such peace before in my life than when I was at Narconon Louisiana.”

“…I’m a total believer that Narconon Louisiana changed my life and was what I needed to overcome my horrible addiction. Life is too short and so many people get caught up in life’s crazy pace. I have never been at such peace before in my life than when I was at Narconon Riverbend. I was very lucky to have made it there.”

J.F.—Narconon Graduate

“I feel inner-peace and self-respect”

“Narconon Louisiana saved my life! The program and staff took me from being the effect of my drug addiction to being cause over my actions. I feel inner-peace and self-respect I have never before experienced. I love myself and my life now and it is as if I have witnessed a miracle. I think of my friends at Narconon Louisiana as family and have them to thank for my transformation from rock bottom to a life of responsibility and success.”

“The thought of being sober for the rest of my life doesn’t even make me nervous, I actually look forward to it.”

“When I first got to Narconon Louisiana I was on my death bed. The past four months have been something I never expected. I have never felt so good and so strong. I feel that I have learned more about myself in the past months than I have learned in my whole life. The thought of being sober for the rest of my life doesn’t even make me nervous, I actually look forward to it. This was one the best life and learning experiences of my life. Thanks to the help of all the staff I am a new person today. Thank you Narconon for giving me my life back!”

“Narconon has saved my life by completely changing me into a better father, husband, son, and brother.”

“I came to Narconon believing that I would be a heroin addict forever. After overdosing twice and almost losing everything I ever had I knew it was time for a change. Narconon has saved my life by completely changing me into a better father, husband, son, and brother. I have gained control over every aspect of my body. My communication with myself and other people is better than ever. I would like to thank everyone here at Narconon for giving me a chance to start over and live a long successful life.”

“For the first time in over a decade I am happy…”

“This has been by far the most rewarding and exceptionally beneficial thing I have ever done in my life. I walked in here five months ago a broken, dejected, pathetic excuse for a person. There have been more times than I can count when I wanted to give up and pack it in. But the most important thing I learned here was to push through whatever it seems like I cannot. So I did and I have made the most incredible turn around to date in my life. For the first time in over a decade I am happy, focused, motivated and confident, plus I’m comfortable in my own existence. All this without psych meds! I really never saw a future without the meds but it has been attained and I wake up everyday with a smile on my face. Everything I learned here has been invaluable and without it I doubt I could really feel this confident. This program saved my life and I am eternally grateful. Thank you staff! Thank you Narconon Riverbend!”

D.C.—Narconon Graduate

“I am now confident in what I’m doing and where I’m going in life.”

“I feel great about completing the Narconon program. I feel like a different person and I got a lot out of every part. I can communicate much better and can now control myself in every way. I can handle any situation that I am put in. I am now confident in what I’m doing and where I’m going in life. I never expected to get this much out of this program and love the way I feel now that I have gone through each part of the program. I think that anybody that has a drug problem should come to Narconon Louisiana—it helps in all aspects of life.”
