Gordy is not a Scientologist, nor is this a requisite or expectation for anyone working in Narconon, or going through the Narconon Program. Narconon is a state-licensed drug rehab open to all.
Don't believe everything you read. Investigate the truth for yourself. Narconon operates on the sole purpose of cleaning up drug addicts to save their lives and turn them into contributing members to society.
Talk to your kids about the effects of alcohol, illegal drugs, and prescription drug abuse. They will listen to you. And if you dont talk to them, someone else will and they wont be saying the right things.
Promote drug and alcohol prevention in your family and community.
Addicts sometimes do bad things. Does this make them bad people? Of course not. They are addicted. Once in treatment, and they start getting control of their life and addiction, the things that they once considered important start becoming important again. Friends, family, and career start becoming something they want to have again. This is a sign of successful recovery.
I find it interesting how others can comment about the Narconon program when they know nothing about it. We should invite them to come and see what we are all about and then let them pass judgement.
Thanks Adam! Thank you for all your help. I hope that you don't take off from housing for too long. I will miss you too much. :-D YOu make such a difference.
An amazing story about recovery. The true experts on Narconon would be its graduates who have been there, done that, and achieved drug free lives. It must have been something to be there at the beginning. Terrific that Bill Benitez, although he started in prison as a heroin addict, had the gumption to found Narconon drug rehab outside. What a story of success. Keep it up! Keep it up! God bless you all.
Who the hell keeps going thru Narconon videos putting thumbs down? I bet you dont even watch the video and see what Gordy has to say. Have you taken the time to watch any of the graduation videos?
It's not that "Narconon's do not take Medicare or Medicaid" It is that Medicare and Medicaid WILL NOT cover this program, because it doesnt use drugs (non-medical) Narconon would LOVE to take ANY form of payment which would allow ANYONE to do the program...Or just have the govrement cover it all! They will not.
I could name numerous programs that don't require any insurance at all. How about donations from the Celebrity Center? How about donations from anyone. If I had the means and Narconon meant that much to me, I'd do whatever I could to help those who need it. We all need to learn to take care of ourselves, but a great deal require the help and generosity of those in positions that allow them to help. And Medicare paid for my entire hospital stay when I needed medical care to withdraw.
So now your going socialist? Donations from the Celebrity Center? They are a non profit church group, they have nothing to do with Narconon. As I said earlier Medical wount cover Narconon...sooooo. Narconon tries to keep the price as low as possible but there is a limit. If you or anyone you know would like to pay for a bed so someone who could not afford it could do the program contact Narconon Georgia and I'm sure Mary will LOVE to talk to you.
Please, I would like to know the "numerous" RESIDENTIAL programs you could name that are free. (No payment of any kind...government funding, insurance or some kind of funding.) Even homeless shelters are funded by "trusts" or the government.
I do agree with you in principal,and did you know that EVERY Narconon has beds set aside for "study exchange"? This is for people who cannot afford the program to be able to work part time at the Narconon to pay for their program.
I think it is pretty awful to call Gordy a liar. He is one of the first Narconon graduates and has been clean for 40 years. What is the lie? Were you there? And who have you helped today?
I work for Narconon and Gordy is a wonderful example of the success that this program provides. Thank you Gordy for helping start this program and helping people get off drugs. I am so glad you told the real story of Narconon also because I am tired of hearing other things. I don't believe them because I have seen this program work. People it works. If you really need to get into this program contact us, we will help you find a way.
I would usually lean towards doubting your sincerity. Scientologists, I've found through countless encounters, are rarely this open. However, this is my first encounter with you and and I applaud your willingness to grow.
I just watched this video again. Gordy, you did a great job on this. How about a follow up video on some of your wins over the years in helping others to conquer addiction and achieve lasting sobriety for themselves and loved ones?
Thank you Gordy! Nice to hear from someone who was there at the beginning over 40 years ago. I got clean 7 years ago at Narconon and have been living a drug free and productive life ever since.
Parents are often unsure where their influence can affect their children in terms of drug abuse or drug addiction. But with all the influences that children are exposed to in this multimedia culture, parents still do have the final word.

Some programs such as Teen Challenge require that you work there in exchange for treatment.

Exactly my point. Nothing is for "free".
Most Narconon Centers also have something called "study exchange" where you work in exchange for the courses.
