21 year old son has many issues and started using drugs. Parents talk about looking for place to take care of his emotional psychological issues, as well as drug problem. Narconon kept coming up as the number one place with all the answers to deal with son's problems.

Son tried counseling in hometown but did not continue. Now parents knew there was a place that promised professionals and doctors would take care of son's issues. Intervention was set up, which did not go well, but son finally ended up at rehab. center.

Detox only lasted one day because son was told he did not have enough drugs in him. My husband received a phone call from son telling him this place was a joke. He said person testing him laughed and asked him why he was there if he only did pot. Son called home to say this but we did not believe him so told him to just do whatever they said.

Everyday we received calls in middle of early morning hours. Son had to wait until everybody was asleep so he could run to outside payphone to call home. His calling card was taken away and he was forced to sit for hours in class reading books on Scientology by L. Ron Hubbard. We did not believe him and told him to just continue treatment. He was screaming telling dad to look online and search for Narconon scam. After hours on the phone, my husband and I finally researched and were in total shock to say the least. Where had we sent our son? We spent hours reading on two separate laptops until the sun came up. We were so distraught. We read how Scientology was banned from Germany and some other countries. There were horrible stories of what these people are capable of. The more we searched, the more horrific information we found.

Since intervention led to other problems, we could not just take son out of center. We figured he might get some help from the psychological counseling, and life skills training. Everyday we read more terrible news about these narconon centers, and continued hearing from son. He was asking to please be transferred to a ligitimate rehab center where there were real doctors who could help him with his emotional issues.

We called a center at a local hospital in our hometown and were told he would not be admitted until they did an evaluation on him. Stonehawk never asked for medical records or previous history. They simply asked for $15,000 upfront and told us to send him in ASAP.

We realized we were not the only ones who were fooled by these con artists. There are many other parents who were promised the same we were told.

Everything was just wrong. The facility is no country club setting like we were told. We were promised a beautiful relaxing setting with a gym, private room, sauna, nutritional meals. We were assured numerous times that there was professional help and doctors on site 24/7. All of this was false.

The facility was filthy. Furniture was soiled with disgusting stains. Bedrooms were crowded with several students. Windows had tape over them to try and keep out the freezing wind. Spiders and rats crawled all over the place. Son's mattress fell through bed and there it stayed until he left. Bathrooms were full of mold. Nutritious food was frozen food that once cooked stayed out all day. Students mingled with other druggies who discussed how they used crack and other stuff. Son just wanted to be transferred to a real rehab. facility.

The vitamins promised were actually overdose of niacin to cause dementia. This way kids would easily be enforced Scientology. The abuse was constant. Nobody ever talked to our son about dealing with the drug issue or any other issues he had.

It's been almost a year since we sent out son to this creepy place. How is this place allowed to exist in the United States of America. Why hasn't anybody shut this place down. As you research the internet you will see how this cult has scared or killed people in order to shut them up about the truth.

I will not stay quite because if I could save at least one poor soul from going through this living hell, I will!!!

There is so much I did not mention, but I have really tried to put this behind me. Unfortunately, it will take a lifetime for the harm caused to go away.

Our son will never be the same. He has seen the ugliest side of evil in a human form.

May God bless you all and keep you safe.
