The Narconon® First Step Program:

The Narconon First Step Program is exactly what it is named-a "first step". The first step, of course, is to get off the drugs, to stop using them. Then one can get on with all the steps of recovery, which might be the full Narconon drug rehabilitation program or something else.

The Narconon drug rehabilitation program uses a totally drug-free method of withdrawal. This can also be learned and followed by someone who desires to come off drugs on their own, with the help of another.

The Narconon First Step Program is a drug-free approach to withdrawal. It is a program designed to help an individual come off drugs without experiencing the wretched withdrawal symptoms that often set in while a person is kicking a drug habit. This program has demonstrated consistent success in diverse centers from Australia to Brazil, Taiwan to the United States and Europe. Whether delivered from a doctor's clinic or office, a community center run by a church or other social betterment group, or even by a private individual, results so far have shown that a remarkable 80% of still drug-using, addicted students who attend this "seminar format" workshop succeed in withdrawing to zero consumption, usually within 30 days.

In the Narconon® First Step program, alcohol and other drug addicts come in voluntarily to an educational, hands-on workshop, accompanied when possible by a sober, supportive family member or friend. In a one or two day format, these addicts learn about and start using immediately specific nutritional supplements, communication exercises, and other self-help assists to radically diminish the discomforts of physically withdrawing from drugs of abuse. Then still on a voluntary basis, at home and calling in daily, or daily coming in to a Narconon community center (when available), these persons step down off their addictions at whatever gradient is workable for them, with the support of their help-mate or family member.

The program is made up of three parts, each developed by L. Ron Hubbard, which have been found extremely successful in getting a person off drugs in a relatively pain-free manner. These three components work together to help an addict successfully and as painlessly as possible withdraw from drugs.

• Nutrition, including vitamin and mineral supplements, is the first component of the program. It has been found that continued use of drugs can speed up the burning of reserves of vitamins in one's system and can leave the person with severe deficiencies. These lost nutrients must be replaced during withdrawal or the person will continue to experience the discomforts brought about by these deficiencies. Considerable research into the field of nutrition and vitamin supplements has found them to be of great benefit in replenishing the body of lost nutrients vital to maintaining normal body functions and to ease the pain of withdrawal.
  
  
• The program also makes use of "Assists". Assists are easily done procedures that can be applied by anyone to help a person recover more rapidly from accidents, mild illnesses or upsets. This is the second component of the program. The assists used are designed to help prevent or lessen any muscle spasms, cramps or pain the person experiences during withdrawal and help to lessen his pre-disposition to remain in an intolerable condition.
  
  
• The third component of the program consists of light "objective" procedures designed to help the person look outward and get in communication with the environment around him. Objective procedures are exercises done to help bring a person into the present by getting him to locate things in his environment. They direct a person's attention from inward on himself, his past experiences or even his current physical or emotional pain, to outward to the environment where he is right now. By getting the person to look outward, these exercises ease withdrawal and make it possible for the person to successfully come off drugs.

The Narconon First Step program has demonstrated consistent success in diverse centers from Australia to Brazil, Taiwan to the United States and Europe. Whether delivered from a doctor's clinic or office, a community center run by a church or other social betterment group, or even by a private individual, results so far have shown that a remarkable 80% of still-drug-using, addicted students who participate in this seminar format workshop succeed in withdrawing to zero consumption, usually within 30 days.

These methods are taught in a workshop, but can also be learned directly from written materials.
