Narconon Suncoast

Drug Rehabilitation Center

In a quiet neighborhood in Clearwater, Florida, there’s a beautiful beacon of hope for those in the area who have lost their way to addiction. In Florida, as in many other states, opioids like heroin, fentanyl and oxycodone are taking far too many lives. There must be a safe location where true rehabilitation can take place so these individuals can return to their families, sober and productive once again. In Clearwater, Florida, that location is Narconon Suncoast.

In most conventional rehabilitation centers, clients are given more drugs as a solution for the cravings or the upsets they have suffered during the time their lives were ruined by drugs. That’s not how it is done at any Narconon center. Here, the entire purpose is to help a person break free from an addictive lifestyle and build new skills that enable him (or her) to choose sobriety over the oblivion of drugs or alcohol.

This kind of rehabilitation takes longer than the 30 days of most drug rehabs. As each person goes through this healing and learning process at Narconon Suncoast, he progresses through the steps at his own paces. He will graduate this program when he has the skills he needs and when he is prepared for his new sober life.

Detoxification and Training

The New Life Detoxification procedure that comes early in the Narconon program is a critical turning point for each recovering person. This step has three components: generous nutritional supplementation, moderate daily exercise to get the blood moving and sweating in a sauna. These three components together work to generate an ability to flush out old toxins from past drug or alcohol use. As long as these toxins remain in the body, they have the ability to influence a person’s mood and clarity of thought.

As the toxins are washed away in a person’s sweat, it’s common for our clients to comment on how much more clearly they can think, and how much more positive their viewpoints are. Families often remark that their loved ones are beginning to sound like themselves again at this point.

Now it’s time to leave the pain and anguish of the past behind and move into a new life of skills and productivity. It starts with the Objectives, a series of exercises that brings the present into a fresh new focus. The sights and the sounds of one’s present environment become more immediate—a welcome change after the dimness and dullness of a drugged condition.

Finally, the life skills section of the Narconon program provides the specific skillset each person will need to weather the challenges of daily life. When a person feels capable of overcoming obstacles in life, drugs just don’t have the appeal they used to have in the old, addicted days.

Preparing for a New Sober Life

Before going home, each person works with Narconon staff to prepare a plan to establish that new sober life. Does he need a new job? A better education? Which relationships does he need to repair? Which issues does he need to address right away and which ones can wait a little while? With a concrete plan to re-enter life, a person can prevent overwhelm and resume a normal life at his own rate after he gets home.

The Narconon drug rehabilitation program has been helping people heal from the devastation of addiction for more than fifty years.
