RSS Narconon Freedom Center Plays Vital Role in Preventing Substance Abuse and Reducing Costs
The Narconon drug rehabilitation program was established in 1966 and has a long and statistically proven history of helping addicts overcome addiction and lead productive lives. In fact Narconon has an over 70% success rate – a statistic that far exceeds most traditional programs.
Given the rising cost of health care is a major concern right now in the U.S., it is fortunate that, through Narconon, effective drug treatment does exist.
A study by the U.S Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) in its cost benefit analysis, states that “substance abuse clearly is among the most costly health problems in the United States.” However, the report goes on to say, “This report shows that programs designed to prevent substance abuse can reduce these costs.”
The costs in terms of lives and property damage in Michigan from alcohol and drug abuse is astonishing. According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, in Michigan 45% of statewide vehicle accident deaths involved alcohol.
In addition, according to the Michigan Department of Community Health, a number of national studies and published reports indicate that the intentional abuse of prescription drugs, such as pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants and sedatives, to get high is a growing concern particularly among teens.
What this adds up to is simple. Adolescents and teens hooked today become tomorrow’s loss and the costs of these losses are born by all of us. The solution is Narconon; a totally drug-free rehabilitation program in Michigan that effectively stops addiction.
The graduates of Narconon live clean and stay clean. Not only that they become productive contributing members of society. By working on the physical, as well as the mental, emotional and the spiritual aspects of addiction and recovery, Narconon exponentially increases the long-term chances of a substance abuser remaining abstinent.
Drugs and alcohol addiction negatively affects all sectors of life. But there is a solution. If you know of someone struggling with addiction or simply want more information on effective drug rehabilitation in Michigan contact Narconon Freedom Center at 888-218-9478.
