For the 48 graduates who have been interviewed, results indicate a marked improvement in criminal behavior. The average for this follow-up group was less than one day after the program. Finally, the average for days incarcerated in the last 30 was 1.9 prior to Narconon and less than 0.05 after the program. Conclusion The Narconon program is designed to assist the hard-core drug addiction. The program deals with individuals having a variety of addictions.
Most clients have a long term addiction with multiple prior attempts at rehabilitation.
Drugs are gradually eliminated over the first several weeks of the Narconon program. This is concurrent with participation by the clients in the detoxification component of the program. Approximately two-thirds of the clients who start the program do complete it. Preliminary results indicate the program graduates demonstrate marked improvements in their criminal behavior. Interviews also indicate significant improvements in their use of drugs.
