Heroin Detox

Heroin detoxification is paramount to a successful recovery. If residue from heroin continues to exist in the addict’s body cravings for heroin will arise and withdrawal symptoms persist. The goal of heroin detoxification is to ultimately eliminate the drug, and all its metabolites from the body to increase the chance of a successful recovery. The human body will eventually expel the remaining heroin residue through urination and sweating.

At Narconon Southern California we use scientifically proven methods to expedite the detoxification process, which in turn, makes for a faster and easier recovery.

In 1978, Narconon adopted Mr. Hubbard's second and truly pioneering innovation, the New Life Detoxification Program. The program utilizes intensive sweating in dry sauna, in combination with plenty of fluids and nutritional supplementation, to reduce drug residuals from the body. Drug residues, including medicinal drugs, can remain in the body for years. These residues can trigger drug cravings and depression. A vital step in the successful rehabilitation of substance abuse is flushing out these accumulated toxic residues so that the person no longer experiences unwanted adverse effects from the drugs he has taken.

The Narconon New Life Detoxification program produces spectacular results by removing the root causes of future physical restimulation. One of the cornerstones of our treatment methods, is the New Life Detoxification program. Research has established that many types of drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, Valium, PCP, amphetamines (crank, crystal, meth, ecstasy, etc.) alcohol and medicinal drugs such as narcotic painkillers, tranquilizers and sleeping pills, can remain in the body for years. Over time, these residues and metabolites of these drugs can become stored in the fatty tissues of the body. When this happens, these stored residues can make it difficult, if not impossible, for the addict or alcoholic to remain drug-free.

These residues can trigger a variety of symptoms, including drug cravings and depression. These cravings and the obsessive need to use drugs that they create, are so difficult to resist that the addict will do almost anything to get even the most illegal of drugs. The result is always trouble. A vital step in the successful rehabilitation of substance abuse is flushing out these accumulated toxic residues. An exact regimen of medically supervised exercise, periods of time sweating in a dry sauna and nutritional supplements are used to rid the fatty tissues in the body of these drug residues. The results can be spectacular. In many cases, completion of this portion of the Narconon Newport Beach program results in greatly reduced cravings for drugs, or elimination of these cravings entirely. Mental alertness and clarity of thinking improve while drug-induced depression often vanishes.

"I have acted as Medical Consultant to the Narconon program for 15 years. For the past decade, I have studied the results obtained with a detoxification method used by Narconon that utilizes vitamins, sauna baths and exercise. While this detoxification method is strenuous, it is easily and safely accomplished under the supervision of trained personnel. Narconon students, with histories of moderate to extremely heavy substance abuse, show a marked improvement in alertness, clarity of thought and general health by undergoing this treatment. Most report a substantial reduction in their craving for drugs or alcohol. Published scientific studies of the technique have shown it successful in reducing the variety of toxins and contaminants in the body tissues. I highly recommend its continuing use as an effective tool in the treatment of addictions."
