Narconon Gabbiano
Southern Italy Drug Rehabilitation Center
Also known as “Narconon Top”, this drug rehabilitation center is located in the outskirts of the lovely city of Lecce on the southeastern tip of the boot of Italy. In addition to the building itself, with its elegant dining room, inviting cafeteria, and spacious bedrooms, the facility provides plenty of space for students to get their exercise prior to spending time in the sauna to sweat the toxins out of the fat cells of the body. In addition to a gym, there’s a swimming pool and a soccer field.
Narconon Gabbiano began in early 1992 when a graduate of the program decided one day to start a new group. They then managed to acquire a new facility—a villa that could host twenty students.
Word of the program’s success continued to spread, with demand for the program driving the staff to find a larger residential drug rehab facility. In 1995 they located and acquired their current facility in Torre dell’Orso in the beautiful region of Salento.
New Life Detoxification for a Brighter Future
As with any drug rehab, a person who’s just arriving gets special attention and monitoring. During this initial time period, their body will be eliminating the drugs they had been using—sometimes up to hours or even minutes before they walked in the door. During their time in the special Withdrawal Unit of the rehab, the effects of the drugs they were using have a chance to wear off, along with any symptoms of withdrawal.
From here, each person begins spending time in a sauna, exercising and taking a specific combination of nutritional supplements. These three actions have proven to prompt a further detox. But this detox reaches deep into the body’s tissues to draw out and flush away residual toxins. In each person’s years or even decades of addiction, they have built up a burden of toxins the body couldn’t completely eliminate. Once these toxins are gone, a person can feel brighter, have a more positive outlook and perhaps even more energy.
This shift prepares each person in recovery to begin to restore their sober living skills. Finally, they are more able to look forward to the future rather than feeling trapped in the past.
Life Skills for Lasting Sobriety
While each person may be feeling better and brighter, it is very likely that they still feel burdened by the harm they have done to themselves, their family, friends and community. As they construct new life skills and can foresee an honest, productive life ahead, this pain can begin to fall away.
In a series of life skills courses, closely supervised by experienced staff, those in recovery learn lessons that will guide them through their decisions and choices in the future. Who should they trust? How can one repair relationships with others? What is the value of being productive? How can they get through a period of turmoil and upset without drinking or using drugs?
These life skills courses can help a person navigate these and many other situations in life.

Preparing for Graduation from Drug Rehab
Before they go home, however, they need to work out their re-entry plan. Consulting with staff, they list all the actions they need to take to re-establish themselves in a new sober life.
Are there wrongs they need to right? Do they need a new job? Better friends? Are there family relationships that need to be repaired? With this plan in hand, they can finally have the confidence that, as they return to normal life, lasting sobriety can be theirs. Perhaps they return to nearby Lecce or Otranto. Wherever they go, they take home a new pride, self-respect and ability to craft a new life

From Francesco, upon graduating:
“This goal I reached fills me with joy. It was a challenging journey, but it gave me back my life. I realized a goal, after so many failures.
