Narconon Vista Bay Toke advantage of a drug user Watsonville Watsonvill California

I was enrolled in the Narconon program at Watsonville, CA. This is a joke. They will not "support" you for after 1 year from graduation. The rule is if you do not contact them 1 time a day for that "year" the you are done. They also forgot to mention if you relapse you need tp pay $10,000+ to get back "into the program" and do the saunca again which is useless. People get so de-hydrated and confused they think they are having flash backs and are "eliminating toxins". This is a joke, and is mentally too much for anyone too take. The people who buy into the program after everything is finished are victins of the church of schientology. At Watsonville, CA our so called "counselors" where former graduates.. maybe with 1-2 months more than you at the program. They in no way can or will deliver you the professional services your $29,000 will pay for. Not to mention after you graduate they offer you this "job" which pays $50 a week, and includes you attend or do work at the Chruch of Scientology.

This is a complete scam and has nothing to do with drug recovery, but has something to do with mind control, and taking advantage of the weak (drug addicts) to build their church and line their profits. Please avoid this, %100 complete personal experience.

Narconon is a scientology scam! Rub away as fast as you possibly can! Narconon is probably worse than the 'christian based' 'treatment' centers that have opened up across the US and Europe. Avoid both like the plague and get some real help!

EVEN BETTER, IT DOESN'T COST ANYTHING IF YOU KEEP GOING TO MEETINGS AND PRACTICE THE TWELVE STEPS...

I THINK SOME SCAMMERS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE WAY THAT THE ANONYMOUS SELF-HELP AND TREATMENT PROGRAMS NAME THEIR PROGRAMS.

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS -- FOR THE RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC

ALATEEN - FOR CHILDREN WHOSE PARENTS HAVE ISSUES WITH ALCOHOL

ALANON - FOR THE SPOUSES,FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND OLDER CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS

IT IS EASY TO SEE WHERE NARCONON COULD BE CONFUSED WITH THOSE PROGRAMS AND PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE GETTING INTO A VERY OLD AND PROVEN PROGRAM -- ONLY IT'S NOT.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST SCIENTOLOGY.

I DON'T THINK ANY RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE, TENETS OR PROPAGANDA SHOULD BE A PART OF YOUR TREATMENT PROGRAM.

I did heroin every day for four years and ruined my life and all but destroyed my family. I went to the Narconon Vista Bay program and graduated three years ago - haven't used drugs or alcohol since. Narconon taught me how to live my life and be happy without drugs. I'm now more successful than I ever was, even before doing drugs, and my friends from the program are too. Narconon works. Period. My family and I owe my life and our happiness to them.

File a complaint - they care nothing about your health or happiness
They want your money and they got it
Find out what Government agency in your state deals with Substance abuse and file a complaint and do not give up till this place is out of business!!

In response to Suzie about her slam on Narconon Vista Bay;

My teenage daughter was addicted to Oxy Contin. She was stealing lying and unable to stick with college or a job. She had tried many other drugs before getting hooked on Oxy. Narconon vista bay was her salvation. it taught her things about confronting life and how to live constructively.

Suzie in her remarks stated that after five days and her head was "clear" she realized she was being ripped off. After 27 years of cocaine abuse Suzie surmized that her head was clear. My daughter stayed at Narconon for four months and completed graduation. Suzie failed to state that Narconon will treat you for as long as it takes. Then they follow up with patient for up to a year. patient can come back if they need to inside of six months after graduation. I know of no other plan that sticks with the patient through the duration of detoxing and treatment for one set price. "Real doctors" charge per visit and dont have a vested interest in the patient getting better just prolonging treatment.

After the withdraw phase which can be a week or longer {that Suzie described in her five days at Narconon} my daughter began a detoxification of her body that included exercise,sauna,nutrition and vitamin/herbs. Nothing to heavy is put upon the patient at this time so they can concentrate on getting the body back in shape. this is for a period of 3-4 weeks. Now this is where the rubber meets the road, and Suzie missed all of this stuff. The patient starts to confront all the things that made them turn to drugs. And yes it was tough for my daughter and she is now clean and thriving in life.

Suzie I only wish the best for you and that you go back to Narconon, aware that you need help. Start taking responsibility for yourself, then complete the program then you can have a right to complain.
