About Narconon Ojai

Narconon Ojai is a non-profit treatment center that specializes in alcohol and drug non-medical detox. Narconon Ojai 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 Ojai is licensed by Narconon International to use the Narconon trademarks and services to operate using the discoveries and writings by L. Ron Hubbard. Their drug-free detox approach uses the combination of exercise, sweating in a dry-heat sauna, and a carefully monitored regimen of hydration and nutrition. The procedures break up and flush out the toxic residues that remain in the body, even after the person has stopped taking drugs. After detox, clients engage in education classes with practical coursework to instill life skills the individual needs to succeed.
Narconon is a secluded, luxury facility located on 43 acres in Ojai, California. Set among the hills the Narconon estate offers a 360 degree view of the surrounding landscape. Views span from the Ojai Valley to the Pacific Ocean. Clients can enjoy up-scale accommodations with private and semi-private rooms complete with a jacuzzi. They provide clients with a personal chef, an outdoor lounge, and billiards room.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Narconon Ojai provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
