Narconon Sweden Drug Education
Alexander Breeze, Director of Narconon Gothenburg, Sweden.
It is possible to help a person come back from the devastation of drug addiction, but it is far better if they never use drugs at all. That is why the staff at Narconon Sweden near Eslov consider it part of their job to prevent drug abuse by young people wherever they can find them. They assigned drug educator Alex Breeze to the job of helping young people understand how starting to abuse drugs can be the worst decision a young person can make.
Alex has reached tens of thousands of young people in Sweden, including school kids of all ages, plus police officers, the Swedish Army and community groups. Alex puts all the information he gives young people in terms they can understand so he doesn’t sound like a doctor. Experience has shown that when youth actually understand the harm that drugs do and the potential for addiction or overdose, they often change their minds about using or starting to use drugs.
Too many drug educators simply rely on scare tactics, horror stories or admonishments not to use drugs. But when a child hears that using drugs “will kill,” then they see their friends surviving drug abuse, the whole drug education message is likely to be thrown away. Alex and others who provide drug education classes in Sweden keep it very real. They explain the more subtle damages that take place in every person who uses drugs and explain also how hard it is to come all the way back from heavy drug abuse.
Narconon Sweden drug educators have received thousands of letters from young people, revealing that this drug ed program works. These letters show that young minds can change and that these kids can be taught to resist peer pressure and make up their own minds to stay clean and sober.
