Focus

This center primarily treats substance use disorders, helping you stabilize, create relapse-prevention plans, and connect to compassionate support.

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. Accommodations are all shared and include a luxury cabin that can fit 45 residents, large walk-in bathrooms with jacuzzi tubs. Other amenities include a recreation room with a pool table and a pinball machine. On their campus, there is a gym that has a sauna, exercise room with free weights and cardio equipment. 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. Family involvement is vital to the success of recovery; therefore Narconon New Life Retreat offers counseling both over the phone and in person to show the family how to support a loved one during and after treatment.
