Narconon - Narconon methodology

The "New Life Program" consists of two principal stages: "detoxification" and "rehabilitation." The detoxification regimen is an adaptation of Hubbard's Purification Rundown (known as the "New Life Detoxification Program" in Narconon). This involves a daily regimen of individually tailored vitamins, oil and multi-minerals with special attention to the minerals magnesium and calcium, per Hubbard Communication Office Bulletin of 6 February 1978RD (under close supervision increasing dosages of niacin (B3)); exercise; and lengthy sessions in a sauna.

The remainder of the Narconon course utilizes "training routines" originally devised by Hubbard to teach communications skills to Scientologists. In the Narconon variant, these courses are designed to "rehabilitate" drug abusers.

Patients spend an average of 3 to 4 months in the Narconon facilities in the United States, for a flat fee of $20,000. ("Case for the Cure", Tulsa World, November 6, 2005)
