NARCONON Bayern e.V.	Member of A^.B^.L^.E International (Association for Better Living & Education)	deutsch english

The purpose and demand of NARCONON Program is that people can live their lifes free and happy without drugs. This doesn't admit the use of substitute drugs. Therefor the name NARCONON from narcotics= drugs + non = no, none.

We don't regard the participants of the NARCONON Program as 'patients' nor 'victims' or 'addicts' but individual personaltities who deceided to completely give up the drug consumption in order to find better solutions.

The NARCONON Self-Help Program is composed of several build up steps on one another. The social component is set up of team work, projects and recreational activities, as well as mutual responsibility and help.

An eventually necessary withdrawal can be done in a Narconon faciliy, that are specially prepared for this. The different methods are used in order to ease mental or physical discomfort and not even give rise to in the degree as it is usually the case. The withdrawal is therefor accomplished with a minimum of discomfort for the person withdrawing.

STEP 1 Communication

This program step serve for the recovery respectively enhancement of the ability to communicate. Theoretical data and practical exercises increase the ability of the participant to admit communication from a comfortable position as well as balance deficits on a interpersonal basis.He gains sobriety and self-confidence also regarding arising tensions or everyday conflicts and can handle these with more control.

The improvement of the ability to communicate stands right at the beginning of the NARCONON Program as it assists the progress on the further steps and the social integration.

STEP 2 Fitness- & Sauna Program

Meanwhile it's been scientifically documented that drugs and toxically substances deposit in the body system especially in the adipose tissue. Particularly drug taking enduring for longer periods could bring about negative manifestations after years of abstinence in mental, emotional and physical conditions of the person. Frequently reported subjectively experienced effects after long enduring drug-taking are amoung others, disorientation, unbalanced sensations, aimlessness and sluggishness, and a lack of basic motivation to be active. Some drugs ( for example LSD or XTC) could cause flashbacks (jargon) long after the drug was taken. That is to say that a person could reexperience drug-like conditions long after the drug is taken and could be influenced negatively in his thinking and acting.

If drugs residues remain in the body system they could get reactivated for example in times of physical duress or feeling of hunger as the body's fat gets mobilized which again cause the drug residues to circulate in the body system. Thus a re-craving for drugs is stimulated.

The precipitation of harmful substances is a unique aspect of this program, as this procedure is aimed at mobilizing deposited substances, foreign to the bod, and to assist the precipitation. This process is prefaced and promoted by a system composed of physical exercise, stay in a low-temperature sauna and the taking of therefore special composed highly-dosed vitamins and mineral combinations.

The applied method is essentially contributing that the factors for a relapse are reduced crucially. We can assume that an abstinence based only on a strong will and " tearing oneself together", will lead to drug consumption sooner or later and will be advantaged through the presented comments given here. Attendants of this program step often report that they experience the effects of drugs again and that this phenomenon then resolves, while the residues are mobilized and get deposited from the body. After completing this step they often tell that they have a higher and clearer perception and feel repositioned to a mental and physical vitality, that they had experienced last time before their drug addiction. It was specifically developed to reduce drug residues but has also been proven to be extremely active and effective in the elimination of other toxic compounds in the body. Thus for example firemen who had been working in New York at "Ground Zero" and had been exposed to toxins, have done a similar program.The results have been very impressive as well.

As this program step is very intensive, the explicite approval of the doctor is necessary as possibly aspects regarding health need to be taken into account. As already mentioned at the beginning this method results in a deceided improvement of the general well-being and is a basic component to return to a drug-free life.

STEP 3 Learning Improvement

This step teaches the program attendant methods, which increase his ability to solve barriers and , if necessary, deficits at appropriation of knowledge and thus regain the joy and willingness for future learning and professional enhancement.

Most of the attendants lost the willingness to learn because of breaking off school, breaking off apprenticeship or the like. Therefore the re-establishment of this willingness is an essential step for the personal and professional development. It is imparted how to learn and appropriate knowledge independently.

STEP 4 Communication & Perception

Drugs often lead to a disorientation and affect the perception of the immediate surrounding.

This program step re-establishes the willingness and ability to perceive the own enviroment with more awareness and to communiacte with one's enviroment with more mental presence. It helps the attendant to establish an objective evaluation of his present position, from where he can act with more self-determination.

STEP 5 Ups & Downs in Life

Addicted are often in contact with persons who take drugs themselves or who encourage to drug consumption or criminality. Drugs cause addicted to become frank and haphazard regarding destructive influences, even if they have a constructive disposition in their nature. The personal valuation of right and wrong vanish.

In this program step the program attendant gets in a way the Know-How to differentiate between social and antisocial persons and groups and therewith he gets a guide, in order to recognize true friends in his future life. That assists in abandon potential negative influences on one's own realization, which previously prevented personal improvement in life.

STEP 6 Personal Values & Integrity

This program step gives the attendant the basics and practical instructions he needs to improve the circumstances for his further life. The matter is personal integrity, honesty regarding oneself and others. The purpose of this program step is a person who has the basic principles about an ethical and reasonable way of life and can abandon and free from destructive actions through his own recognition.

STEP 7 Improving Conditions in Life

At this point the attendant learns to evaluate objectively his own performance and to set a real target for his future. The step covers among other things intentional confrontation with the earlier situations in life, where the person was involved in negative conditions and didn't have a useful solution.

It is essential and important, like in all parts of the NARCONON Program, that the learned is applicable individually in one's own life and thus leads to an extensive personal enhancement. As a part of this step he settles mistakes, for example, by approaching the participants and settling the personal mistakes with these persons.

STEP 8 The Way to Happiness

As, in most of the cases being connected with drug addiction, there is a subsidence of the estimation of wrong and right behaviour regarding life itself, there is also thereby a subsidence of the own willingness to adhere to optimistic principles and rules, which are basically significant from a moral viewpoint for the support of the person himself, his enviroment and his fellow-man. The Way to Happiness is a conclusive guide of rules whose adherence is basically founded on the voluntariness of the person to apply it in daily life. The principles imparted here are in agreement with timeless ideas of moral, which are shared with the majority of people in all cultures and are thus independant from trends, as they are basically founded on common sense and not dogma.

The program step conveys 21 principles which are together form a non-religious moral codex based on reason. The practical realization in the future work-related and private weekday can cause a man to become a productive and trustworthy member of any group activity whatever.

Program Completion

At the end of the program there is an extensive plan worked out with the former addict,on how he can practically realize the reintegration in his familiar and professional life. He defines real purposes and formulates definite steps which are already undertaken during the stay at NARCONON, mostly in cooperation with the dependants, so that the prospectively graduate can carry out his plans.

The duration the program will take varies individually. From experience one can calculate with roughly 6 month.
