Nine years ago, Nate began abusing drugs and alcohol. Very quickly his life spiraled out of control until he found himself addicted to crack cocaine. After spending several weeks trying to find the right rehabilitation facility that would handle his cocaine addiction, Nate and his mother finally stumbled upon Narconon Louisiana. There, Nate was able to handle the things in his life that caused him to resort to drugs and alcohol in the first place.
Narconon Louisiana is unlike most rehabs. Instead of focusing on learning how to live life with addiction, clients focus on living life without the problems and traps that cause addiction in the first place. The Narconon program prides itself on being workable and that it encompasses all aspects of life. This is evidenced by their success rate, Narconon Louisiana currently achieves a 76% success rate for permanent recovery from substance abuse.
Recently, Nate and his family sat down and explained how the Narconon Louisiana program changed not only Nate’s life, but also his whole family’s. “Our life was hell. There was so much worry, stress and frustration. To not be able to help one of your sons become the man that I see him to be today was unbearable,” explains Nate’s mom, Karen. “I was desperate. I had spent weeks on the internet. We couldn’t find anyone that would take him. I stumbled upon Narconon Louisiana and I just knew that this was the place that he needed to come.”
By the time clients enroll in the Narconon Louisiana program the drugs and/or alcohol have usually taken over their life, like Nate’s case, however, utilizing the one on one, results-based therapy that the Narconon program is developed around, clients are able to move past their addictions and live a drug-free, productive life.
One of the defining factors in the Narconon program, is that this facility does not adhere to the mindset that addiction is a disease; in fact, clients are able to work with a trained counselor to figure out what problems drugs and alcohol were a solution for. Once that problem is isolated and handled, clients no longer have to resort to drugs and alcohol as a way to get through life.
Upon completion of this drug rehab program, clients have shed the idea that they need drugs or alcohol to survive. They have handled the problem or problems that drugs and alcohol were a solution for and they have mended whatever damage they caused in their life. “I’m coming up on eight months sober. It is the best feeling that I think anyone could have. There are no words to describe how thankful I am to this program,” said Nate.
Nate’s success can be your success. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a substance abuse problem please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information. Help is available.
