Narconon Ketamine Abuse Treatment Reviews – Edward’s Experience Overcoming Addiction

I was at home depressed, alone, and I reached out to a doctor that was recommended for me from a friend, and he prescribed Ketamine for me. That's an anti-depressant, but sometimes, it's like a huge drug that is being used right now in LA for parties and, just to hang-out.

So basically that's the way it started: like as a prescribed drug, then I was feeling it was not enough so I tried to get it from the street. I was kind of like functional, you know, I was still working and everything and then I fell in love and I felt that I didn't need it anymore. I got engaged and everything was going well, but after two years we separated and that's when the big depression started.

I got in a bad place and I started doing Ketamine, like, a lot. I lost my job and I started using all my savings my credit cards; put it to the limit, but I was like killing my body. I was in a bad place with a lot of pain. My liver was compromised, my kidneys as well. I needed to go to the restroom all the time. I even finished-ended like using diapers and that's when I felt “That's it Edward, you need to do something with your life, either way: you die here in your house or you call your family.”

So, I contacted my Aunt. She said the first step is go to hospital and that I'll meet you there because you need like a little detox and we need to see how bad you are right now, like how compromised your body is. So, I spent two weeks in the hospital because they saw a lot of damage in my liver so they were trying to like get all the examination to have like a clear view of it because the drug seal in my system. I start feeling anxiety again and It was not fun.

I was feeling desperate and I didn't want to talk about it. Like, okay, I'm going to get out of this on my own but no they, they actually are not stupid. They saw that I had changes so they told me like “Edward, we found a way to help you and it is in Mexico. You will be able to go anytime that you want like you take it or leave it.” It’s like “I’m taking it,” I knew I wanted and I needed it.

The people from Mexico helped me go through like all the process. I got there and I felt safe. I started withdrawal and it was four days basically. I didn't feel alone. They really gave me, they really made me feel comfortable and like I was protected. So it was easy, plus, really fast. I slept. I did my exercises and everything. I went to the sauna, like the detox, where it was a life-changing--that's when I really felt the difference in my body, my brain, more energy. I was able to get off from bed without like feeling, you know, like I was dying, and I was feeling more social talking to everybody and trying to just live the moment, like not trying to, go to the future. It's just like, okay, let’s what we can get from this.

After that we went to class, where like I learned so many; I got so many tools to go through life and I found out kind of like the root of my problems because it's something to start like transforming yourself and like you start getting wins from each exercise and the different classes, you know, like ups and downs or Integrity Give you different tools so once that you are out from Narconon you can use them to keep being yourself and to identify like problems that probably in the past you wouldn't or like basically you are aware about what's happening around you and that for me was, again, life-changing because It's like everything I learned from when I was a baby till like graduating university until work, it's kind of like everything came back to me, you know? I'm even stronger. So you are preparing yourself for when you get out of the Narconon and Learn how to identify people that are good for you. That for me, it was a big win as well. And [you] prepare like a little plan over there where you can feel confidence that once that you are out, you're being productive, and you’re doing something for your life.

So they made me feel really comfortable. They became my family over there. We even had like Christmas and New Year's Eve. I was like really, really, I'm really grateful for them, you know.

So after getting out from Narconon you have like phone calls or video calls every three days at the beginning, then change one per week. But just, well I still feel that they are like family members, they were my parents at the time. I would feel like a little kid that like “okay guys I'm leaving, bye, but like keep in touch.” So they always celebrate with me my wins and if I need something they are there for me. They are always answering WhatsApp text messages so it's good. It's like I don't feel alone.

“I came back home, better communication with my family, like my mind is out-of-this-world, like now I feel I'm in my 20s again…”

I came back home, better communication with my family, like my mind is out-of-this-world, like now I feel I'm in my 20s again, and energy wise I changed as well and I don't feel anxious and if I have some weird feelings I now; I apply the tools and it makes me feel like I'm in a good place and I can keep moving forward and I learn how to go through, you know, the problems without feeling in my head.

Okay, I want to thank Narconon, I guess they really gave me an opportunity to start a new life and to get over the root of my problems. And for being there with me, like even after graduation right now, I'm here with you guys and I still feel like a family, so thank you.
