Narconon Colorado Success Stories
Nate D. - Provo, Utah
"My drug and alcohol addiction was out of control for almost 18 years of my life. It got so bad that I started commiting crimes to get the money for drugs. This caused me many legal issues and I spent more than half of the last 7 years locked up and caught up in the legal system. While I was in jail, my family came to visit me and said they wanted me to go to rehab. I was sick of the person I was, sick of being in jail, and sick of not accomplishing anything positive in years, so I agreed to go to Narconon Colorado - A Life Worth Saving. When I was picked up from jail by one of the Narconon staff, he went above and beyond the call of duty to make me feel comfortable and at ease about coming to rehab and throughout the rest of the program, the staff helped and encouraged me to confront the issues and problems in my life. The most important things I learned were how to be confortable with myself in any situation, and I don't have to use drugs when I'm bored, alone, or for any other discomforting feelings that might occur. I now have the tools to take control over my life and take cause over any problems that may arise. When I graduated the program, I had to go in front of the judge and explain what I had learned and what I got from the program. The Judge was so impressed that he closed my case! I am now free from the legal system, free from drugs and I am happy and productive. I no longer need or want drugs in my life! Thank you, Narconon Colorado! "

"My drinking was out of control! I was in and out of hospitals and I was beginning to have liver failure. In fact, I lost my job because I was always sick and Jaundiced caused by the alcohol. I needed to drink to function in everyday life. I had lost hope... Then my sister found Narconon on the Internet and my family insisted that I go. I came to Narconon very skeptical. I didn't believe that anything or anyone could help me, but once I began the initial sauna purification portion of the program I started to feel like a new person! Alcohol cravings went away, my liver and medical complications went away and I was healthy again! Throughout the program I continued to feel better and better both physically and emotionally. I learned to be in control of myself and my life. By the end of the program, everything really came together and made sense to me. I no longer want or need alcohol and I now find new meaning in life being happy and productive."

"Before coming to Narconon, I was a wreck! My drug and alcohol addiction got so out of control, I lost who I was. My family and friends did not know how to help. I was physically sick. I had to keep drinking alcohol just to keep from having a seizure from alcohol withdrawal. One morning, after not eating for five days and only drinking alcohol, I called my brother. He asked me to get help and suggested Narconon Colorado. I agreed to go. It didn't take me long to realize that this was not just another drug & alcohol rehab. This was a life changing, life skills, and life repair program! The people here and the staff are incredibly caring and devoted! The knowledge and tools that Narconon Colorado has given me has no doubtably allowed me to find myself and find true happiness in life without alcohol or drugs."
"I really do not have the words to describe how I feel today as compared to the life I lead engulfed in the degradation of drugs. How do you describe the day to day agony and humiliation of being a drug addict. Drugs control and destroy life and make you do things you would never dream of doing if not for the illusive and hollow promises you tell yourself this chemical will give. How do you describe this insanity in such a way to make others understand just how devastating it really is. How do you explain a life without pride or integrity or peace of mind, not even a little. How do you describe the guilt and alienation from life.
I came to Narconon a broken mess of a human being. I had lied to myself for so long that I started to believe there really was no hope for me, or a way out of the trap. I told myself that I was a drug addict and that somehow explained and justified my impeccably wasted life. I was more dead than alive and numb!!!
Today I have no words to really explain the difference in my life. Narconon has taught me how to live again. Narconon has restored my faith in myself and given me a peace and stability that can only be dreamt of. No longer do the chemicals of evil men call my name or haunt my dreams. No longer do I fear or hate or have to hide. I am successful and happy and I have a future. I can see again and have restored faith in myself. I can look people in the eye and be proud. I can smile and enjoy even the smallest of simple pleasures.
Narconon made me whole again. How do you thank someone for saving your life?"
"When I first came to Narconon back in 1997, I was 27 years old, had been using every drug under the sun for 15 years and was basically in apathy as to whether or not anything could be done to help me. This was my third rehab in a year and I truly wanted help, I just didn't think it was available. So I started doing the program and I could not find anything wrong with it. No matter how hard I tried, with all of my old paranoia and distrust in full effect, I just couldn't find anything wrong with it. Here was a program that didn't have me admit I was powerless and diseased, want me to relive my terrible past 90 times in 90 days (for the rest of my life) or want me to take 'medication' for my 'manic depression.
This is a program that truly showed me that I am powerful, that I can repair the past and that all the happiness I ever hope to find is within myself. This program not only showed me how to stay off of drugs, it did just what it promised, it gave me a new life. If you're at the end of your rope and you're ready to put in some good, honest hard work to make a change for the better, without drugs, Narconon is hands down the best drug rehabilitation drug program on the planet, period. I've been clean for 3 years now and I owe it all to my grandmother for getting me to Narconon and to Narconon and Mr. Benitez and Mr. Hubbard.
Thank you very, very much."
"I would like to thank the staff here at Narconon for helping me and having faith in me. Everyone was a lot of help. The staff always kept me on my toes and help me push, push, push till sometimes I felt I couldn't push any more (I was wrong). It's hard for me to think about where I came from, you would have to live it to understand. I don't know where I am going to go in life but I know I won't go back to where I have been. That's behind me now. I've come too far to go back and besides I like, or should I say... I love being drug-free!!
"The Narconon Drug Rehabilitation program has saved my life. I cannot begin to explain the sense of happiness that has been restored to my life. I once pictured myself as a drug addict that was beyond help, but today that picture has changed to one I am proud to face in the mirror every day.
My drug abuse began thirteen years ago with a simple six-pack of beer but quickly turned into a $300 a day heroin habit. I reached out for answers and help along the way but was never able to find the solution to my drug abuse. I went through countless 12 step programs that never pacified my desire for heroin. My addiction took me to county jails in four states three hospital trips for over doses and finally to the State Prison. All along the way I knew that my addiction was controlling my life but I couldn't stop. I had resigned myself to the fact that I was a drug addict and that was all I would ever be. When I got out of prison I was offered a chance to go through the Narconon Program. I didn't know if it would work but I knew that if I didn't do something soon I was going to die.
I arrived on the Narconon Campus on June 17, '98 and that was when my life finally began to change. Through the course of the program I regained the sense of personal integrity and responsibility necessary for me to stay off of drugs. There was one day that I had the tremendous realization that for the first time ever I was in control of my life and could honestly say that I was happy. This was when I knew, I had finally conquered my drug addiction and I owe that to the Narconon Program and staff.
I am very happy to say that since I have completed the Narconon Program I have enjoyed health and control over my life in a way that I have never before experienced. My past life was ruled by drugs, the getting of them and the using of them, for over 25 years. I was cynical, depressed, angry and tired. This program allowed me to confront myself and my environment. It provided me the opportunity to physically heal and to mentally expand. I, in effect, have discovered my spirit, in a new and ready condition. I have captured the confidence and wonder of my youth. By successfully completing this program I am, for the first time in many, many years, living freely and with purpose. I have awakened to my potential. I accept the challenge.
Thank you Narconon Staff!"
