My mother was defrauded by narcanon when she sent me but that was many years ago she had no clue it was associated with scientology until after she signed the contract and never would have if she knew. It did nothing for my recovery and sadly has passed since ... but in good news I've been clean for many years now but with zero help from narcanon!

I'm hoping the Feds find enough information to investigate all the other sides of this "church" and finally calling it what it is a CULT.

👏👏👏👏👏. Great News. Now, if the IRS would take away the tax exemption status from Scientology, that would be awesome!

Take them down. I feel bad for people looking for actual help who get suckered into a cult trap.

It’s about time. I knew a hopeful mother who breathed a sigh of relief that they found this program. At the end, her son came home “clean” and shortly after died of an overdose. Heartbreaking.

I find it dangerous and hurtful to addicts. I am in recovery and I am nervous about this so-called drug program.

Thank you for pointing out that Narconon has nothing to do with Narcotics Anonymous

I had an experience with Narconon a few years ago. They tried to tell me they weren’t associated w Scientology. I ended up on a tour of the program in Clearwater. It was all very odd.

It's extremely dangerous rehabbing people when you don't understand withdrawal.

[queenbee]

I knew a mom who was so relieved to find narcanon. Her son was a heroin addict. He finished the program and came home “clean”. Shortly after he died of an overdose.

went to narconon, actually with Luke, before arrowhead, it was a abandoned Indian school, $20gs and the place was a total dump...a bunch of recent grads, many still using, running the place, etc etc...I remember thinking it was nuts Luke was there for marijuana, while most for hard drugs...but the place was a joke, and actually dangerous, really preyed on people in need, my roommate graduated 3x from narconon, ended ODing not long after he left...many many other examples like this...this was over 20yrs ago, and after narconon, I went and received real help and have been good since...been crazy seeing this unfold... great job

Excellent video! Thanks for the information, this organization needs to be completely demolished. Fingers crossed!

[fire]

Excellent... Hopefully they will find other stuff that might branch off into other investigations

[rideordis]

Sad thing is the family of an addict is desperate for help. Narc anon is exploiting that desperation, the pain, and the fear. They all need to be shut down.

Thank you, Aaron, for helping to shed light on this!

[queentara]

Drug addiction centers in the US are VERY POORLY monitored. My brother went to one that was supposed to be state certified. It turned out to be just a work center. The owner was sending out the patients to work for him. Their pay was the boarding. They had to work overtime to pay for food. After he died, I did some research of my own and found this was incredibly common.

[kristineolsen]

You are such an inspiration to me. Often I find myself in fear which keeps me from doing what I would love to do. You have been shedding your fear by the pound lately. I've been watching you a long time. Thank you again!
Your friend, Kristine

That law started because rehab companies were paying judges to send minor drug offenders to rehab instead of a small fine

[IronPsyde]

Hey. Former arrowhead staff member here. I graduated from Narconon Colorado in Fort Collins a year ago. I have a ton of stories!
I am not aware of FSM commissions being paid out in the past two years but I’ll ask around
