Getting Through Heroin Withdrawal

For each student, a personal Withdrawal Specialist is on hand to assist. They use nutrition and special techniques that ease discomfort and painful symptoms. Through procedures called objectives, staff also help to reorient students to the present, directing the students’ attention off themselves and their bodies and onto the environment around them. Objectives also help to relieve mental and emotional discomfort of looking inward at negative thoughts or dwelling on the past. After withdrawal, the beginnings of a new and better life take hold. This is what Badal has to say after his withdrawal step of the program:

I had a very long withdrawal. I thought it would be very painful because of my heroin addiction. It was hard but the care of the withdrawal staff and their handling of my fever was very exceptional and eased my withdrawal. Thank you, Narconon!
