Home Sweet Home? Not if it Was Home to a Methamphetamine Lab Narconon Spokesperson Warns
Home Sweet Home? Not if it Was Home to a Methamphetamine Lab Narconon Spokesperson Warns
“Meth Home” registries fail to protect people from contaminated homes previously used for methamphetamine manufacture.
Across the nation increasing manufacture and use of methamphetamine means that the lovely home you just bought for your growing family could be your worst nightmare. As has happened hundreds of times in every state in the nation families or individuals move into homes where methamphetamine was manufactured by a former owner or renter. Due to high levels of contamination parents may come down with kidney problems or migraines children may begin to suffer from serious asthma attacks and what is termed “failure to thrive” in infants.
The problem has become so pervasive that the Drug Enforcement Agency established a national registry for “meth houses” at http://www.justice.gov/dea/seizures/index.html.
When we talk about problems with drug abuse and addiction, we usually focus on the addicts and crime associated with the selling and taking of drugs. This is a whole other part of the drug abuse problem in America that is not often discussed. Narconon is an international organization that is dedicated to preventing drugs abuse and addiction and rehabilitation of those who have become addicted.
Missouri has been particularly hard hit by meth seizures. Year after year they have some of the highest lab bust statistics of any state. They passed a law stating that an owner who knew of meth lab activity in the house had to reveal this fact to prospective owners. But professional contractors in the state estimate that as many as 90 percent of meth houses are never detected and thus are never reported.
Missouri state authorities list 1284 meth busts in 2006 1285 in 2007 1487 in 2008 1774 in 2009 and 1242 through August of 2010. But the DEA registry lists just 2756 meth houses. Since reporting is voluntary the Registry is better than nothing but does not serve the purpose of keeping people safe.
One of the best ways to know if the lovely home you wish to purchase formerly housed meth manufacture is to start with the neighbors. Before you buy ask the residents on both sides and across the street if there was any police activity at the house. Ask about strong foul odors or blacked out windows or strange items in the trash. Any of these indicators can point to methamphetamine manufacture. The Department of Health of many states will provide guidelines on cleaning up meth-contaminated homes. Some companies that do mold remediation are also qualified to de-contaminate meth houses.
Essential in the effort to combat methamphetamine abuse and thus reduce demand for the drug are effective drug education for youth and drug rehabilitation treatment for those who fall to this quickly addictive and physically damaging drug.
Narconon organizations around the world provide drug education to young people to help them understand the problems that result from abusing drugs. It has proven effective in reducing the drug use among young people who have received the curriculum. And the Narconon drug treatment program enables seven out of ten graduates to remain drug free after they return home. And that includes those recovering from methamphetamine addiction.

Narconon Spokesperson Cites Drug Residues in Oregon Wastewater as Evidence of Need for Effective Drug Education and Rehab
They did it in Italy. They did it in Germany. And now its been done in Oregon. The testing of municipal waste water to determine levels of chemicals that are only present in the body waste of people using illicit drugs.
In this case scientists were looking for residues from cocaine methamphetamine and the party and dance club drug Ecstasy. And they found residues everywhere they tested.
For one day March 4 2008 scientists tested samples of wastewater from 96 different municipal wastewater systems in urban suburban and rural areas. These 96 systems represent 65 percent of the population of Oregon. Cocaine metabolites were found mostly in urban areas but methamphetamine residues were found everywhere. Ecstasy was not present at all in more than half the areas tested and the areas that did show Ecstasy residues were mostly urban.
The director of Narconon used this information to stress the need for effective drug education and rehab programs. Despite the limited nature of this analysis it clearly illustrates the need for improved services in this area. Narconon is an international organization that is dedicated to preventing drugs abuse and addiction and rehabilitation of those who have become addicted. This is an objective analysis unlike a telephone survey that asks people about their drug use. This evidence is really a wake-up call for those who think that drug use and addiction in America are not too bad or not too widespread.
The Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program offers an example of drug rehab that creates a positive effect. The Narconon program is a long-term residential program that uses no drugs of any kind during the rehab process. They learn new life skills that enable them to make drug-free decisions for the rest of their lives. Seven out of ten Narconon graduates go home to live drug-free lives.
The Narconon drug and alcohol rehab program is offered in cities across the United States and in forty other countries around the world. Since 1966 Narconon has been saving lives from drug and alcohol addiction. Many Narconon centers also offer drug education courses that have proven effective in changing the patterns of drug use among the students receiving the curriculum.

Narconon Director Proposes Lasting Addiction Recovery as a Way to Reduce Crime
Not everyone agrees that drugs cause crime, but statistically, it is easy to show a relationship. The Bureau of Justice Statistics monitors such statistics and analysis them to find trends.
In 2004, the Bureau found that more than one in five criminals in jail said they had committed the crime they were convicted of to get money for drugs. Property crimes ran higher, from 25 to 30 percent. Each year, between 4 and 7 percent of homicides, or close to 600, are related to drug use. And in 2007, a survey of victims of violence felt that their attacker had been on drugs or alcohol in about a quarter of the attacks.
In states where methaphetamine use is rampant, child abuse and domestic violence also tends to be high. Montana authorities reported that drug use was a factor in 66 percent of all foster care placements, and in the vast majority of cases, the drug involved was methamphetamine. In Pinellas County, Florida, a sheriff’s deputy estimated that his workload would drop 60 percent if there were no drugs or alcohol being abused.
We don’t have to get into an argument about whether or not drugs or alcohol abuse cause crime. Narconon is an international organization that is dedicated to preventing drugs abuse and addiction and rehabilitation those who have become addicted. The truth is that if drug addiction and alcohol abuse were eliminated from the scene, crime figures would drop.
Drug-related crimes are classified in three categories:
Use-related crimes that result from drug-impaired individuals committing crimes because of the effects that the drugs (or alcohol) have on their behavior and judgment. For example, the hit and run driver or the hopped-up person who attacks another with a knife because he imagines some danger.
Economic-related crimes or crimes to get the money for a drug habit, including theft and prostitution.
System-related crime which are crimes resulting from the manufacture, distribution and sales of drugs and the violence associated with these acts.
Drug abuse and long-term or heavy alcohol use have such a damaging effect on a person’s personality and judgment. Many people find themselves committing crimes or immoral actions in the course of their addiction that they never would have committed before. That’s why the Narconon program includes a number of actions that help a recovering addict recover his or her self-esteem and senses of morals, personal values and integrity.
On the Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, each recovering addict learns to face the damage he or she has done to their relationships, careers and communities. As the addiction is replaced by a productive life, many of those who have recovered look for and find ways to give back to those who were damaged by the years of addiction.
Narconon centers around the world also offer drug education classes to students and young adults to help keep them from needing drug recovery programs in the future.
The prevention and treatment of addiction are an essential part of lowering crime and creating a world that is safer for all of us.

They thought then they were having fun but as they grew older they out grew this prankish behavior. Susan didn’t. In high school she started stealing the stronger stuff – vodka and whiskey.

Narconon staff and executives wishes all a happy new year to all. Many more lives saved from drug addiction in 2009. Below are some of the recent Narconon drug rehab centers news:
Narconon Salutes its 1,200 Staff Worldwide on 13,000 Lives Saved This Last Decade: Narconon drug rehabilitation and education staff have grown to over 1,200 in the last ten years. Many are graduates of the Narconon program, which has never given up and never will on the concept that a recovering alcoholic or other drug addict can achieve a stably drug-free and ethical life. Some others also believe this, not enough. Another hypothesis circulates that addiction is a chronic relapsing disease. This is only a theory, not a law.- Narconon Steps In To Help Current Abuse Trends: With rising drug abuse trends and no signs of this epidemic stopping, Americans need now more than ever effective drug prevention and rehabilitation. Narconon provides not only effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation but drug education lecture in schools, businesses and community groups to prevent youth from ever turning to drugs to begin with.
- Prescription Drug Addiction in Florida Serious Growing Threat: This has been seen on the drug treatment side as well as Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers have noted an increase in prescription drug addiction admissions. Because of this Narconon is doing all it can with its drug education and prevention lectures to inform youth and adults that it is not just street drugs are becoming more and more of a problem as well as increasing the numbers of people going into Narconon drug treatment programs. Unfortunately, prescription drugs are often easier to obtain than street drugs and one need not reach further then the medicine cabinet to set oneself on a path of serious addiction. (http://www.narcononeastus.org/)
- Prescription Painkillers Can Lead to Addiction: As Narconon points out, prescription painkillers can be just as addictive, if not more so than street drugs. If one is in pain oftentimes the only solution is to numb the pain with a drug. However, this can start the cycle of addiction. Fortunately, Narconon drug rehabilitation provides an effective solution including a drug-free withdrawal that involves repairing the nutritional deficiencies and safely eliminating the drug toxins to break the cycle of addiction.
- List of Deadly Prescription Drugs Found: “Many of these drugs are not only highly addictive, but are deadly if combined,” comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab Georgia. “Many people don’t realize the dangers of prescription drug abuse, and whether her doctors knew she was combining these potentially lethal drugs is a question that should be answered. The drugs found are very powerful, often affecting different parts of the body, often with tragic results.”
- Narconon Drug Rehab Awards Unsung Hero: Gordy has been clean for 41 years, since attending the Narconon program in the Arizona State Penitentiary in 1968. He reflects every day on just how lucky he is, but especially during the holidays when he is with his family. Gordy reflects, “Believe is or not, my life started changing for the better after I got arrested and sentenced to the Arizona State Penitentiary.” William Benitez, a once hopeless heroin addict started the Narconon program in prison, after reading Fundamentals of Thought, by L. Ron Hubbard and realizing that he was not a powerless addict, but a person of capability. (http://www.drugsno.com)
- Drug Rehab Offers Advice for a Safe New Year: “So we are telling everyone to have a good time this year, but remember a few facts that can protect them and their friends before the party begins,” coments Mary Rieser, Executive Director of Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia “Sadly enough, there are some New Years predictions that every year prove to be reliable. One is that more people are likely to die in alcohol-related traffic crashes on New Years Eve than on any other day of the year. Narconon is a non-traditional drug abuse treatment program which was founded in 1967.
- Mother and Son Spend Holidays Free of Drug Addiction: Celebrating the holidays under the grip of addiction is not what this family wanted. Narconon California just received another life changing success story evoking the true spirit of the holidays. “Before he began using drugs like xanax, marijuana, and opiates like oxycodine and abusing alcohol, my son Bill loved family life, school and the great outdoors,” said Jeanne, mom of the ex-addict.
- Synthetic Alcohol Could Prolong Treatment: Narconon Louisiana is a long-term, inpatient facility located just outside of Baton Rouge. This secluded retreat allows clients to handle their addiction in a calm, peaceful atmosphere. In a field where the average success rate is between 12-20%, Narconon Louisiana far surpasses that with a 76% success rate for permanent recovery.
- Medical Marijuana Can Open Door For Addicts: Narconon Louisiana, has seen first-hand how marijuana leads to harder, more dangerous drugs. “I talk to hundreds of addicts a year and almost all of the cite marijuana as being their first drug. Eventually you move on to different drugs like heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine when marijuana no longer provides you with the same feeling anymore.” (residential drug rehab center in Louisiana)
- Narconon Freedom Center Bringing in a Drug Free New Year: The Narconon program in Michigan had been expanding through the holidays and its graduates are entering 2010 drug free and with a new lease on life. Only a few months before these same students were burdened with drug addiction in a seemingly unending misery of drug use, guilt, depression, and cravings and only more drugs as the answer which further pushed them down.

Narconon Gulf Coast Provides Assistance Substance Abuse During the Holidays: Narconon Gulf Coast has experienced this through its several years of operation and provides the complete solution to drug rehabilitation. The founders of Narconon Gulf Coast saw such tremendous success with this program and they then decided to open a fully state licensed Narconon Drug Rehabilitation facility, located in Destin, Florida, and have dedicated themselves to helping others to break the bonds of substance abuse.
