Drug Rehab or Prison?

drug rehab or prison? Our prisons are overcrowded. A large portion of the prisoner population are persons incarcerated for Drug offenses that would be better off getting Addiction treatment. But virtually nothing is done inside these jails to address the causes of Drug abuse (even when the offender wants help) and to avoid the vicious cycle of drug abuse and addiction.

It may be ironic but it isn't surprising that when they're released, many of the addicts make their first stop the drug dealer...to celebrate their "freedom".

Is the Solution Prison or Drug Rehab?

Instead of jail, sending drug offenders to treatment at a Narconon program can get to the bottom of the problem and help this person to stay not only free from prison but free from addiction. This is something that won't be accomplished by punishment.

Narconon	A non-religious, non-profit drug rehabilitation program using technology developed by author L. Ron Hubbard. The Narconon program was originally organized in Arizona State Prison in 1966 by William Benitez, an inmate who was himself a drug addict. He applyed basic principles regarding self awareness and self assurance contained in books by L. Ron Hubbard and, by doing so, completely cured his own addiction to heroin. Mr Benitez then went on to help twenty other inmates do the same. Today there are Narconon centers in 45 countries.
