News -- Clearwater, Florida, 2004

In addition to creating more drug-free lives each month, the activities of the executives and staff of the Narconon Florida out-patient center also reach out into the community.

On several occasions the Clearwater drug rehab out-patient center's results were acknowledged by the drug education and licensing authorities of the State of Florida. In June of 2004, Cheryl Alderman, Executive Director of Narconon Florida, was sworn in as President of the Florida School of Addiction Studies Alumni Board (http://www.fsas.org/alumninews.html). In August 2004, the out-patient treatment program won the "Best Promising Program" award in substance abuse prevention and treatment.

News for the future of young people in Florida looks bright as Narconon Florida has been chosen to organize and administer a youth center scheduled to open in 2005.

Following is the description of Narconon Florida as listed on the FADAA's website:

"Description: Narconon Florida is a private agency that provides alcohol and substance abuse outpatient detoxification treatment services to individuals in the Tampa Bay area. The Narconon Florida outpatient treatment program uses education as a fundamental component of the rehabilitation process in order for alcohol and other drug abusers to stably recover and live ethical and productive lives. The Narconon program protocol uses nutrition and nutritional supplements as a important component of its delivery. The program is neither psychiatric nor medical, but a social educational model of rehabilitation. Narconon clients are not considered or treated as "patients" but as "students" who are learning to regain control of their lives. A Narconon student does not enroll to recover from an "illness." He enrolls to learn something that he doesn't already know. He addresses the "disability" caused by drug use with new abilities, new skills for life. Narconon's program is composed of eight program steps for complete recovery. Outpatient treatment consists of seven life repair courses after withdrawal and detoxification. The entire Narconon program should take 4-6 months to complete in its entirety."
