			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://www.narconon-news.org/blog/images/drug-treatment-restores-life.jpg" alt="Drug Treatment Restores Life" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="331" height="258" align="right" /></p>
<p>Worldwide drug use has climbed to epidemic proportions. You could talk about stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamines and methamphetamine or other drugs such as heroin, opium, morphine and other opiates. Or you could look at marijuana, hashish and prescription painkilling drugs taken for non-prescribed purposes. All in all, there are tens of millions of people abusing drugs all over the world. This doesn&#8217;t even include those who abuse alcohol.</p>
<p>In a recent report on national drug usage from 2009, it was found that illicit drug use in the United States had risen to its highest level in eight years. In the 2010 edition of this report, the rate of use held steady (8.9 percent in 2010 compared to 8.7 percent in 2009), and both remained above the 2008 rate of 8.0 percent.</p>
<p>More disturbing is that in the group of young adults aged 18 to 25, the rate increased even more than in the general population, from 19.6 percent in 2008 to 21.5 percent in 2010. This increase seemed to be driven largely by a rise in the rate of current marijuana use among this group of people.</p>
<p>The 2010 report showed that while some areas are improving, overall there were 22.6 million Americans age 12 and older who were currently using illicit drugs.</p>
<p>These are just statistics. The real situation is even more devastating when the drug scourge attacks your own family. If you have a child or other family member who has walked down the road of trying drugs, trying some more drugs, and then being hooked on drugs, you know what heartbreak and sadness is like, seeing your own loved one unable to break out of the shackles of drug abuse.</p>
<h2>There is Hope</h2>
<p>Fortunately there is hope. Narconon offers a holistic, drug-free treatment program which has been effectively helping people to get off of drugs and stay off them for more than 45 years. Effective drug abuse treatment brings a person back to life! He may have lost his job, she may have lost her friends and even close ties with families, but if the person can be gotten to a Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation center, there is an excellent chance of finding his or her way back. Each individual experiencing the Narconon program recovers his self-esteem, his personal integrity and his determination to live life fully and without the crutch of drugs or alcohol.</p>
<p>No matter what drug or drugs have been abused by the individual, Narconon helps the person to get back the bright viewpoint he once had on life, before he got hooked on drugs. It is a long-term program that really works. There are no <a title="Narconon Program" href="http://www.narconon.org/about-narconon/l-ron-hubbard.html">Narconon meetings</a> to attend after graduation. In fact, Narconon has tracked its graduates and found that seventy percent of them are clean and drug-free two years after completing the program.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Millions of children live in homes where drugs or alcohol are routinely abused and the result is neglect, injury and loss of life.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many areas in which we want to see growth. We  would like to see children&#8217;s reading and math scores increase, and we&#8217;d like  the economy to grow. <img src="http://www.narconon-news.org/blog/images/children-drug-use.jpg" border="0" alt="Children Drug Use" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="200" align="left" />But when the statistics of the number of children losing  their lives to neglect or abuse rise, then it&#8217;s time to take action to counter  this trend.</p>
<p>From 1998 through 2007, the statistics of children killed  from neglect or abuse have risen from just over 3 per thousand to nearly 5 per  thousand. Tragically, much of the neglect or abuse of children is related to  the substance abuse problems of the parent.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s estimated that more than 60 percent of child  maltreatment cases involve a parent with a substance abuse problem. In 2008,  more than 1,700 children died from abuse or neglect. Alcohol was frequently  related to physical abuse and cocaine use was often connected to sexual abuse  of children.</p>
<p>Saving children&#8217;s lives ranks very high as a good reason to  help an addict overcome their addiction. As more than five million children  live in a home where illicit drugs are used and nearly ten million live with  someone who abuses alcohol, eliminating addiction could save a thousand young  lives each year.</p>
<p>One of the major problems with helping addicts with children  overcome addiction is the fact that many drug rehabilitation centers see the  same addicts for treatment, over and over again. Some rehab facilities will  state a sobriety rate of 10 percent to 20 percent and then explain that  &#8220;relapse is simply part of recovery. This is not the way addiction  treatment has to be.</p>
<p>At <a href="http://www.narcononrehab.com/">Narconon drug and alcohol recovery</a> centers around the  world, seven out of ten graduates stay clean and sober for at least two years  after they go home. This is the way drug treatment should work. This is the  kind of substance abuse treatment that saves young lives.</p>
<p>In more than 100 centers across the United States, Latin America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa,  addicts find the help they need to achieve a productive, enjoyable and sober  life, and students learn the truth about drug and alcohol abuse.

		<description><![CDATA[Illicit drugs or prescription drugs being abused mean that there are substances in the household that can easily kill children.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tragically, it is far too easy to find stories of children  whose lives are destroyed or even snuffed out due to the abuse of illicit or  prescription drugs by someone in the household. In November 2010, a baby died  after drinking liquid methadone that was left in a sippy cup. The toxicology  report showed that the baby body showed had four times the recommended dose for  an adult. The child&#8217;s caretaker, who had been dating the father of the child,  had a history of drug arrests.</p>
<p>The abuse of illicit drugs or prescription drugs can be a cause  of disaster not only for the person who becomes addicted but also for family  members and friends. Narconon is an international organization dedicated to  eliminating drug abuse and addiction and preventing substance abuse through  education. Family members may find themselves bankrupt due to their extensive  efforts to save the addict&#8217;s life and children are helpless in the face of  drug-related neglect, abuse or accidental poisoning.</p>
<p>A brief examination of news sources reveals that this type  of tragedy is repeated all too often across the U.S. In Pennsylvania in 2009, an accidental dose of  methadone took the life of a 23-month old child. The police responding to the  call found drugs and drug paraphernalia in the home.</p>
<p>And in Palm    Beach County,  a 21-month old child died after finding cocaine and the pain killer OxyContin  during the night and eating it. The baby was dead when the mother tried to wake  him up in the morning. His little body held enough drugs to kill an adult. The  mother&#8217;s boyfriend, in the home the night the baby died, had previously been  arrested for possession of drugs.</p>
<p>The fact of addiction means that even a well-meaning person  is unable to stop abusing the addictive substance despite harm and despite the  danger to the family. That&#8217;s when those around the addict need to intervene and  find an effective rehabilitation service. Getting the addict to rehab may save  the life of more people than just the addict himself or herself.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.narconon-news.org">Narconon</a> drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is a  safe refuge for those addicts who know the time has come to eliminate drug or  alcohol abuse from their lives. This long-term residential program, delivered  in centers across the U.S.  and around the world, has proven to enable seven out of ten graduates to live  sober, drug-free lives after graduation.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[“Meth Home” registries fail to protect people from contaminated homes previously used for methamphetamine manufacture.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Home Sweet Home? Not if it Was Home to a Methamphetamine Lab Narconon Spokesperson Warns</p>
<p>“Meth Home” registries fail to protect people from contaminated homes previously used for methamphetamine manufacture.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a title="Narconon" href="http://www.narconon-news.org">Narconon</a> 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 <a title="Narconon Treatment Program" href="http://www.freedomdrugrehab.com">Narconon drug treatment program</a> enables seven out of ten graduates to remain drug free after they return home. And that includes those recovering from methamphetamine addiction.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[But no matter the size of drug seizures, interdiction will never replace drug rehabilitation and education as the spearpoint of demand reduction - Narconon News]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the early morning hours on the 17th of October, federal police in Tijuana decided to stop a convoy of three tractor-trailers and one smaller truck traveling through Centenario, a district in Western Tijuana. The inspection turned up a marijuana shipment. The shippers opened fire on the federal police. When the dust settled and two more raids had been carried out, 150 tons of marijuana had been seized. It is the biggest haul ever of illicit drugs, most certainly destined for transfer into the U.S.</p>
<p>That’s enough marijuana to roll more than 190 million joints, worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $400 million. The marijuana was burned in a public ceremony three days later.</p>
<p>Marijuana is still a very big business. A good, money-making business for the likes of the three cartels operating in the northern Baja California peninsula, said to have recently formed an alliance instead of fighting over turf.</p>
<p>“This huge quantity of drugs headed into our country makes it all too obvious that the problem must be fought from both the supply side and the demand side,” stated Clark Carr, president Narconon International. “The government can fight supply all it wants, but those in this country who are addicted to drugs will find a way to get their next fix of heroin, cocaine or marijuana. And yes, based on the number of people who come to <a title="Narconon News" href="http://www.narconon-news.org" target="_blank">Narconon</a> to overcome a marijuana addiction, marijuana is addictive.”</p>
<p>Across the nation, millions of people live productive, sober lifestyles until they come in contact with the drug pusher that works at the desk next to them, who just moved into their neighborhood, or who is in their class at school. Those small, supposedly inconsequential “deals” amount eventually to sums of money that are subverting whole countries. Thoughtless of the lives being ruined, the cartels and their representatives on the street rake in their profits and condemn millions to the loss and pain of addiction and even death due to overdoses.</p>
<p>In Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers across the country, those addicted to alcohol, methamphetamine, prescription or other drugs use the eight-step Narconon drug treatment program to claim their lives back from the cartels. With seven out of ten Narconon program graduates remaining clean and sober and with more than 30,000 graduates from the 140 Narconon <a title="Narconon Drug Treatment Center" href="http://www.drugsno.com" target="_blank">drug treatment</a> or education centers around the world, that’s a lot of people who are no longer customers of the cartels.</p>
<p>“Every person deserves a chance to grow up and live drug-free,” added Mr. Carr. “But the cartels do their best to take this chance away. We help give life back to people every day, in every Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.”</p>

<p><strong>Narconon Freedom Center Teaches Addicts To Take Care Of Themselves</strong>: Once one truly understands why such an idea is important they are far more likely to keep it in in their own life.

		<description><![CDATA[Narconon Reports on Drug Addiction &#124; New from around the Narconon centers &#124; Drug epidemic info]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Highlights of today&#8217;s blog: Narconon Eastern U.S. year in review (story #2) and report on the efforts to combat drug addiction (story #5).</p>
<ol>
<li>A New Year&#8217;s Resolution to Stop Drug Abuse: &#8230; At least all is not lost and progress has been made in other areas.  There is the good news of the continued gradual decline in the use of illicit drugs by teens. There have also been stronger warnings published regarding the dangerous side effects caused by prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Thankfully there are organizations like <strong>Narconon Arrowhead</strong> working to prevent drug abuse and rehabilitate individuals that fall into the trap of addiction. With massive anti-drug awareness and education campaigns and its effective rehab program, Narconon Arrowhead has played no small part in assisting to reduce the statistics and keeps on spreading truth about alcohol and other drug abuse nationwide and provide info and hope for millions. (Drug treatment in Oklahoma)</li>
<li>Narconon Continues Expansion in Eastern U.S.: <strong>Narconon East U.S.</strong> has had a very successful year in <a title="Narconon Continues Expansion in Eastern U.S." href="http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/narconon-continues-expansion-in-eastern-us-80859642.html">drug rehab</a>, prevention and education. The way to stop drug addiction before it starts is through effective drug education. The Narconon program, which was established in 1966, delivers drug prevention and education presentations to schools, community groups and businesses. As research statistic show that many new drug users begin at the age of 12, Narconon focuses its presentations on school-aged children and over 3.5 million children have been reached. Narconon presentations are unique from ordinary drug education talks because the drug prevention specialists reach the children at their reality level and get them participating, as well as learning about the dangers of drugs.</li>
<li>&gt;Addiction Treatment Provided by Pill Mills Concern Many: Mary Rieser a certified chemical dependency counselor and director of  <strong>Narconon of Georgia</strong> drug rehabilitation center says, &#8220;We can&#8217;t just cover up addiction with a dependency on pharmaceuticals.  Addiction is about behavior and taking one pill in substitution of another is not a change.  We need to provide effective addiction treatment programs not more medications.&#8221; (News report from Narconon of Georgia)</li>
<li>New Drug Rehab Approach Has Success: The Narconon Drug Rehab Program is designed to not only get a person off drugs and feeling well, but to return them to society as productive and ethical individuals. To do this the program takes into account several factors for comprehensive relapse prevention. The program reduces drug cravings by fully cleansing the body of drug residues, and assisting the body in healing itself after the scourges of drug abuse.</li>
<li>Efforts to Combat <a title="Efforts to Combat Drug Addiction Reconsidered" href="http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/press-release/efforts-to-combat-drug-addiction-reconsidered-131030.php">Drug Addiction</a> Reconsidered: Unless there is a dramatic increase in the availability of <strong>drug treatment</strong> for those already hooked, the plague will only continue to spread. The passage of legislation to address the problem is a step in the right direction but it is not the final solution. <a title="narconon" href="http://www.drugsno.com/">Narconon</a> of Georgia provides drug treatment and education for the entire southeast region. Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia is a non-traditional drug abuse treatment program.</li>
<li>Marijuana | Users Experience Addiction Withdrawal Symptoms: &#8220;Marijuana is generally not considered an addictive drug,&#8221; comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director for <strong>Narconon Drug Rehab</strong>. &#8220;Studies and interviews with people who are habitual pot smokers and have come to our drug rehab have shown all the signs of withdrawal: irritability, restlessness, headaches, depression, and cravings for the drug.&#8221; Marijuana use is often described by users as ‘recreational&#8217; and ‘non-addictive&#8217;. These same substance abuser* will, however, experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop using marijuana, this study shows.</li>
<li><img src="http://www.narconon-news.org/blog/images/drug-treatment-georgia.jpg" alt="Narconon Louisiana drug treatment" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="250" align="right" /><strong>Narconon Louisiana drug treatment</strong> &#8211; Real Option For Stopping Addiction: After three years in operation, 150 graduates, the Narconon program has maintained that the people of Louisiana do not have to suffer from addictions like prescription drug abuse, heroin abuse, or alcohol abuse, without a real solution for permanent recovery.</li>
<li>Narconon Steps In To Help Current Abuse Trends: With drugs so prevalent and available in our society Narconon has recently issued a 30 second holiday public service announcement encouraging Americans to get those who need treatment help before it is too late. With rising drug abuse trends and no signs of this epidemic stopping, Americans need now more than ever effective drug prevention and rehab. 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.</li>
