Drugs are supposed to do wonderful things but all they do is ruin the person. Heroin problem do not end when a person stop taking heroin. The accumulted effects of drug-taking leave one severely impaired, both physically and mentally. Even someone off drugs for years still has "blank periods". Drugs can injure a person's ability to concentrate, to work, to learn - in short , they can shatter a life.

The drug rehabilitation technology developed by Mr. Hubbard has been able to eradicate the major damage in persons who have been on heroin as well as make further addiction unnecessary and unwanted.

This is exact technology which not only gets a person painlessly off drugs but handles their physical and mental effects and helps them get back in control of their lives.

Workable solutions have been developed in the Narconon program that enable a person not only to cease heroin use, but to reach and eradicate the root causes which started him or her down that dark road.

Heroin can exact a dreadful price from the user should he ever try to quit.

What is called withdrawal symptoms set in. These are the physical and mental reactions to no longer taking heroin. They are ghastly. These withdrawal symptoms are so wretched and violent that very often an addict will stay addicted to avoid confronting the pain and agony of withdrawal.

As this has been a major problem in securing a person's willingness to come off heroin, considerable time and efforts have been spent to developed a program- without the use of any drugs substitute- that would enable a person to make it off heroin without experiencing such painful withdrawal symptoms.

Although most persons can do the Narconon withdrawal program, there are certain enrollment restrictions which exist. For example, in cases where a person currently addicted to heroin wants to come off drugs, but it is found he has also taken lithium, the person will be refer to medical authorities for drug detoxification.

The person must always give a drug history and be given an examination by a qualified doctor and receive medical approval to do the Narconon withdrawal program. 24 hours supervision and care during the withdrawal program.

Drug rehabilitation is a multi-phase, multi-faceted, long term process. Detoxification is only the first step on the road of addiction treatment. Physical detoxification alone is not sufficient to change the patters of a drug addict. Recovery from addiction involves an extended process . So after the detoxification steps the person will be re-habilitate. This program is based on the social education modality. The person is provided with knowledge on how to change his life and how to live comfortably without heroin.
