Narconon Fresh Start

In 2007, I attended this program at the Sunshine Summit Lodge location in southern California.
My aunt, by the grace of God, found it on the internet while I was sitting in jail for multiple drug offenses.
This program saved my life.
It’s not your typical Drug and Alcohol Rehab. It teaches you so much more than just how to be clean and sober. I am a better daughter, granddaughter, niece, wife, and friend now than I was before, even before drugs, and it’s all because of what I learned in those 5 months I spent at Fresh Start. This program can help anyone who wants to end the cycle of addiction and is willing to change. It does this in many ways, but I feel most importantly from my own experience it did this by teaching me how to take responsibility for my wrong doings, and really learn how to make sound rational decisions and not react solely by emotions. This is something that most addicts have a lot of problems with, and that is why I believe that this program works so much when other programs may have failed a person in the past. One other thing that sets this program apart from many others is the people that work there. Each and every one of them has been touched by addiction at some point in their life, whether it is because they themselves had stuggled with addiction or because they had loved ones that did. The staff cares, you go there get your life back and leave with a whole new family of friends that love you. You can’t get that anywhere else.
This is the best program out there for Drug and Alcohol Addiction by far!

I would never be where I am today if I didn’t get a chance to go to this program. It saved my life when nothing else came close to working

Narconon Fresh Start GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK!
I was a heroin and crack-​cocaine addict prior to going to Fresh Start. I was bouncing around on the streets of San Francisco, selling and doing drugs. I grew up an athlete with a passion for sports, excelled in school, and somehow turned into a drug addict. This program gave me an opportunity to really learn about myself as an individual. I was able to go back through my whole entire life and confront all my issues I suppressed and actually handle them appropriately in a sober manner. I was taught the necessary tools and life skills such as consequences for my actions, ethics, and a sense of responsibility. I was helpless and a victim due to drug addiction, and through this program, I did not have to live that way anymore. I was the Justin I was prior to doing drugs… even more equipped and ready to appropriately handle life and to live successfully, happily, and be sober! Thank you Fresh Start, for giving me my life back!

My son entered the Narconon program after being in 3 different non-​residential rehabs (including AA/​NA meetings) that did not help him ‘get clean’ & start a new life. This program is not ‘time defined’, which allowed him the time to mature & build the strengths needed to move past drugs & build a life for himself. He was in the program the better part of a year and emerged as a mature young adult. The Narconon program is NOT time-defined…i.e., 90 or 120 days & then a half-​way house. Info that connects this program to Scientology is just not true! My son is still connected to the religion in which he was brought up. It is almost 12 years since he finished the Narconon program and he is a mature, honest and respected man who has a life!
