Narconon Drug Rehabilitation Facility Just Opened in Hastings, England

The Grand Opening of Narconon Hastings (on the coast southeast of London) took place on March 5th, 2005. Paul Dolan (Executive Director) introduced the first speaker, Daniel Galvin Jr., hair colourist to the stars. He completed the Narconon program in the U.S. five years ago and described, quite emotionally, how it saved his life.

Said Daniel: "Through drugs I had lost everything--the people I loved, my integrity,
my work group, everything! Since doing the Narconon program with the sauna and courses under my belt, it has allowed me to earn back my integrity, make up the damage to the people I had hurt, and really achieve my optimum business and social objectives."

Geoffrey Davis, Chairman of the National Drug Prevention Alliance, validated the accomplishments of the Narconon® network over the years and his joy in seeing this new facility opening. "The charity I represent, the National Drug Prevention Alliance, has followed--and morally supported--the journey to today's Narconon Hastings opening with interest and admiration." In fact, he was so impressed with the program that he expressed an interest in setting up a Narconon center in his own five-bedroom house!

Andrew Loog Oldham, former manager of the Rolling Stones, shared his story: "I was about three weeks away from dying when I met some very special people who helped me get well enough to do the L. Ron Hubbard detoxification program, part of the method used by the Narconon centers. The program was an amazing experience for me personally. It was a glorious seven weeks as the acid came out first, followed by the coke, morphine derivatives, and innoculation poisons, as well as the suntans and all the drugs of life."

A plaque was presented to Mike Holland, a community leader and the landlord of the building, for all the help he had given. He spoke about the very big changes he has seen in his son, who is currently on the program. His plan is to set up a foundation in Brighton to be able to enroll people at Narconon Hastings.

Stuart Earle, Mayor of Bexhill, (speaking on behalf of the Mayor of Hastings) said,
"I feel extremely humble and very emotional when I have seen the successes that have been displayed here today... Thank you for bringing me into your world because I was unaware, and I feel very proud to stand here today and say welcome." He also admired the professional building restoration and plans to bring colleagues from his Council and members of the Rotary Club to visit. Two Members of Parliament, including the MP for Brighton, attended as well.

A Narconon surprise was that the dining delicacies served the overflowing audience were prepared by a professional chef--a Narconon graduate!
