The Narconon program is usually completed in three to six months, though the program can take longer for some people. Each client is different and each case is treated on an individual basis. Narconon bases it modalities on results and not on time spent in rehab, and as such time spent at Narconon Arrowhead can and does vary with the individuals own needs and progress.

Narconon was founded in 1966 by William Benitez, a heroin addict who was incarcerated in the Arizona State Prison for a long series of drug-related crimes. Benitez wanted to resolve his addiction and through his personal research into workable techniques to kick drugs ran into a book called Fundamentals of Thought, written by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. Benitez was able to glean principals out these writings by Mr.

The Narconon drug treatment program is unique in several ways. Most treatment centers use a combination of 12-step recovery and group therapy in an effort to handle addiction. While some people respond to this type of treatment, many do not. The Narconon drug treatment program addresses three (3) areas that are not intensively treated in more traditional programs.

The Narconon program takes, on average, four to six months to complete. Between the extensive treatment Narcononfers, and the individual study involved, the time it takes to complete the program varies from student to student.

At Narconon we do not believe that curing addiction is possible by simply exchanging one addiction for another.

Undergraduate degree programs offered at American Heritage University have been designed to allow students to begin studies within a semester and proceed at their own pace.

The postgraduate degree programs must be completed within four years from the date of registration.

Addiction and alcoholism are chronic diseases which leave a person prone to relapse. As such, it is not unusual for a person to experience multiple treatment episodes prior to achieving long term recovery. Most individuals that experience long term recovery have relapsed at some point in their addiction recovery process and that relapse ends up being the springboard to abstinence.

Through research done since the early 1960's it has been found that drugs, once taken, leave residues in the body's fat tissues. These residues remain in the body for years after taking a drug. This is the reason for the occurrence of "acid flashbacks" among LSD users. These drug residues also play a large role in an addict's physical craving for a particular drug.

A : The Narconon program addresses 3 areas that are not intensively treated in more traditional programs.

During the course of treatment program participants, families and treatment providers working together, may determine that a longer stay is required. Prior to admission however, there is no way to determine if longer term treatment is warranted.
