A Day in the Life at Narconon Arrowhead
At Narconon Arrowhead, recovery happens in a rural, distraction-free setting designed for total focus. Your journey follows a structured path from the first day of a well-supported, drug-free withdrawal all the way through the life skills training, ensuring a steady progression toward lasting stability.
Your Daily Rhythm
While schedules adapt as you progress, a typical day focuses on active engagement:
Please note that during withdrawal, care is 24/7, after a student completes withdrawal they move to the below program schedule:
- 8:00 AM—9:00 AM: Balanced breakfast.
- 9:30 AM—12:00 PM: Program sessions.
- 12:00 PM—1:00 PM: Nutritious lunch and social time.
- 1:00 PM—6:00 PM: Program sessions.
- 6:00 PM—7:00 PM: Dinner in our dining hall.
- 7:00 PM—11:00 PM: Free time, recreational activities, and rest, with lightsout at 11:00.
Nutrition & Recreation
We believe a healthy body supports a healthy mind. Our meals focus on high-quality nutrition to restore the vitamins and minerals depleted during years of drug use. Between sessions, you can enjoy the fitness center, and lounge areas, or relax while gazing out over scenic Lake Eufaula and the surrounding woods.
Guest Rooms
Our guest rooms provide the rest that is an essential part of the program. Finally, you can rest well, knowing that you are in a safe environment in which you can heal and recover.
Grounds
Narconon Arrowhead’s wooded grounds, beautiful walking trails, lake and fields provide a safe, stress-free environment with every element aligned to the success of the program.
Connectivity & Support
To help you stay focused on your recovery, communication with the outside world is structured. As you stabilize and move through the program steps, scheduled phone calls and family visits allow you to rebuild bonds and share your progress with loved ones in a supportive environment.
Aftercare & Graduate Support
At Narconon Arrowhead, graduation is not the end of the journey. It is the beginning of a new, self-determined life. We understand that, for many families, the greatest fear is the "rehab trap"—the exhausting, repeating cycle of relapse and return to rehab that is typical of so many conventional rehab programs. We provide robust aftercare and an alumni support network designed to help graduates transition smoothly back into family life and society. Our process includes detailed personalized transition planning and regular followups to ensure the tools learned during the program are applied to good result in the real world.
Lives Transformed at Narconon Arrowhead
Learn About Our Uniquely Effective Program
There is no mistaking it—drug abuse is a planetwide epidemic. If you or someone you know is caught in the grip of addiction, you are no doubt living in your own personal nightmare. At Narconon, we do not believe an addict is an addict for life. We do not believe addiction is an incurable disease. We believe in getting better. We believe a person trapped in the dwindling spiral of substance abuse can take their life back and live drug free. How do we do it? That’s the Narconon diff erence.
Our Unique Approach to Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation
Drug-free Withdrawal
During this step, Narconon withdrawal specialists are on hand and available to help individuals through the difficult time of coming off drugs through the program. Narconon staff monitor sleep, food, fluid intake and general progress through the process. They also administer gentle physical techniques known as assists to help calm spasms and lessen aches and pains.

New Life Detoxification
The New Life Detoxification is another unique aspect of the Narconon program. It is based on the discovery by L. Ron Hubbard that drug residues apparently remain trapped in the body’s fatty tissues and may be reactivated even years after the individual has ceased taking drugs. The harmful mental and physical effects of taking drugs do not end even when the person stops taking drugs. Therefore a vital step is to get drugs out of the body and end their mental and physical effects on an individual’s life.

The Objectives
Following drug-free withdrawal and New Life Detoxification, the Narconon student moves on to the Objectives. Drugs dull a person’s awareness and throws him out of communication with his environment. Objectives help bring the student into communication with others and with the present environment, extroverting the student’s attention from disturbing memories associated with drug use and enabling the student to achieve a wider perspective that is less subjective and more objective. He is able to view the world around him clearly, often for the first time in years.

Life Skills
Our goal is long-term success for each individual. After Withdrawal and New Life Detox, students report feeling remarkably better and so are ready for the final program elements. Effective practice and learning leads to stability, self-respect and return of personal values. Just like physical skills, life skills can be learned. The final component of the program consists of a series of Life Skills Courses. These courses give the individual the tools he needs to remain drug-free.

Common Questions About Narconon Arrowhead
Does Narconon Arrowhead accept insurance?
Narconon Arrowhead accepts Anthem (Blue Cross Blue Shield) insurance and is working toward accepting more. Please contact us so we can see if your insurance carrier will cover your residential treatment.
What substances does Narconon Arrowhead treat?
You can see all types of addiction that Narconon can treat here. We have successfully treated addiction to a very wide range of substances, from alcohol, methamphetamine, prescription drugs, synthetics, kratom, ketamine, methadone, Suboxone and marijuana to Adderall and benzodiazepines like Valium and Xanax. With each individual who enters our center, our intake staff gather all necessary information to ensure we are providing the right level of care.
How much does the program at Narconon Arrowhead cost?
This depends on your insurance. The difference at Narconon Arrowhead is that our program has no set limit. You complete this program at your own pace. There are no additional costs for a longer stay. We focus on ensuring each individual has the time to fully complete their program so they are prepared for life after rehab. That's how you can get your best possible chance at lasting sobriety.
What is the typical length of stay at Narconon Arrowhead?
The typical stay at Narconon Arrowhead is 10 to 12 weeks. However, the emphasis is not on program completion in a set amount of time. It is ensuring that each individual recovers their personal integrity, has sharper, clearer perceptions and better communication skills, and is more capable of dealing with life's challenges. Every person achieves these improvements at a slightly different rate. The full attention is on the thorough completion of the Narconon program. We believe this gives each person their best chance at sobriety.
What's the difference between a long-term,
residential rehab center and an inpatient rehab center?
On some websites or in some guides to addiction recovery, you might see these terms used interchangeably. Actually, these programs have different characteristics that make them suitable for different situations of addiction recovery.
An inpatient drug rehab will have characteristics like these:
- Medical staff monitoring patients around the clock
- Hospital-like setting
- Shorter stays than residential drug rehab
- Patients may suffer from mental or physical conditions that require monitoring
- Patients may possibly harm themselves or others without close monitoring
- Some inpatient facilities do not allow the individual to leave without permission
However, some programs that are only residential but not actually inpatient may describe themselves as inpatient. It is important to ask staff about the characteristics of their inpatient drug rehab program. One of the most distinguishing factors of a true inpatient program is that they usually offer around-the-clock care which is often provided in a hospital or similar setting.
In contrast, there are many types of residential drug rehabs. They range from luxury, spa-like rehabs in Malibu to modest community or charity programs in residences that are only a little better than makeshift. What they have in common is that those in recovery reside in the facility. They do not go home at night like those in outpatient drug rehab programs do.
What makes residential drug rehab programs more effective for many people is that those in recovery can focus fully on their rehabilitation. They are not distracted by the need to get to work every day, care for children, maintain relationships with family and friends and care for a home. They are there for one purpose only: to recover from addiction.
What aftercare support does Narconon Arrowhead provide?
Before graduation, a careful review is made of each step of the program that was just completed. Then the Narconon Graduate Officer and the individual about to return home carefully note each situation that will need to be fully addressed when the individual returns home. This could include dealing with antisocial personalities that were in one's life, repairing damaged relationships or making decisions for a successful future.
With this information in hand, a detailed program is created to guide the individual through the post-rehab adjustment period. This careful plan eases their return to family and community life because the likely pitfalls have been identified. They use this step-by-step program every day, utilizing the life skills they gained on the Narconon program.
For the next two years, the Graduate Officer makes followup calls at regular intervals. As needed, they review the lessons of the program with the individual and cheer their successes. They are available whenever the graduate needs additional help, advice or support.
Narconon also maintains an ever-increasing graduate community for active and continued support of each graduate.
