Narconon New Life Retreat

Founded in 1989, Narconon New Life Retreat is a non-profit treatment center that specializes in alcohol and drug non-medical detox. Narconon believes that addiction is not an incurable disease, but rather that addiction is not for life. Narconon’s program is unique in their approach with a drug-free withdrawal, a new life detoxification, and the final component of learning life skills that people will need to remain drug-free.
Narconon International is an organization that promotes substance abuse treatment and addiction theories of the founder of the Church of Scientology, L.Ron Hubbard. Narconon New Life Retreat is licensed by Narconon International to use the Narconon trademarks and services to operate using the discoveries and writings by L. Ron Hubbard.

Outdoors there is a pool and an outdoor seating area. The treatment approach is Religious-based, Holistic and Non 12-Step. Residents have a private chef that prepares healthy meals and snacks throughout the day.
