Addiction Rehab: Three Reasons Why Narconon Hides Its Affiliation to Scientology
Whether or not Scientology is a cult is open to some small debate, but it is odd that although Narconon is completely based on the teachings of Scientology, follows the writings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard as its philosophical guide, and uses educational materials straight out of Scientology texts, they do not ever publicly admit any link to Scientology.
Narconon boasts an incredible web presence, and any search on addiction or drug treatment topics will bring up hundreds of Narconon produced pages, and often on the first and second page of Google. These pages will sometimes identify as Narconon and sometimes not, but never will they reveal any affiliation to Scientology.
Narconon hides its affiliation to Scientology for three reasons.
Addiction Rehab: Narconon, Scientology Disguised as Rehab
Narconon runs almost 200 affiliated addiction treatment centers worldwide, and although they never explicitly mention their connection with Scientology, they are most assuredly affiliated organizations.
They also maintain an incredible web presence, and any search on addiction related topics will link you to Narconon affiliates, and usually on the first page of Google. A big part of the problem with Narconon is that at first glance what they say seems very reasonable, seems scientific, and they seem to offer a very legitimate and relatively affordable way to rehab off of drugs or alcohol. They also boast of an astonishing success rate (80% or better!).
The Narconon philosophy
Narconon is based entirely on the works and teachings of Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard, and they use a two pronged approach of saunas and education to “cure” addicts from their dependencies. Narconon advocates do not subscribe to the concept of addiction as a disease, and they insist that no further treatment is needed for life after the successful completion of a Narconon rehab.
