The Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services will soon be making their decision concerning the Certification of Narconon Trois-Rivieres and it extremely important at this phase, to direct addition documents to the Ministry for them to review.

We are preparing to send one last and final appeal to the Health Ministry to decline-reject Narconon’s application for Certification.

Please review the post below to see what Narconon must conform to:

https://whyweprotest.net/community/threads/david-love-vs-narconon-trois-rivieres-certification-denial.94318/

We have seen Narconon’s Success Rate removed off their sites to comply. We have reviewed many new websites and videos promoting an “Ideal Narconon Rehab ORG” and it’s obvious in what direction this is heading. It’s a massive PR campaign.

We can and will do better – - it’s quite easy when providing truth!

This is what we need accomplished as soon as possible:

As many Poons/Data informations, concerning the abuses, dangers,  indoctrination, frauds, deaths, illnesses, confinement, disconnection policies, PTS Doctrines, SP Doctrines, etc, sent to the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services in Trois-Rivieres.

It doesn’t matter how short or long – - simple or comprehensive – - but if we are to ensure the closure of the largest Narconon in the World, over 100 beds for patients who would otherwise have a chance with professional and qualified medical care at a center who treats patients using methods that are recognized in current medical literature, we need help sending the Health Ministry a message.

The fact that a patient is likely to relapse soon after completing the Scientology rehab program called Narconon can perhaps best be described as a “predetermined failure”. Contrary to what Narconon claims, Narconon’s actual success rate is not 70%, an imaginary number that is closer to the relapse rate. Narconon executives and other Scientology staff members know well that most patients will relapse, with many returning several times for a so-called repair and forking out thousands of dollars each time.

Narconon websites and brochures profess that Narconon has qualified professional counselors who tend to the individual needs of each patient, when, in fact, many of these Narconon “counselors” have no training whatsoever, except for the Scientology courses taken at each Narconon and a certificate printed in fancy colors. This alone is what Narconon means by “certified counselor”.

As a Narconon Trois-Rivières patient and staff member, I experienced my private life being stripped away and my dignity reduced to a state of obedience under the control of Scientology gradient indoctrinations. As a staff member, I enrolled in the Scientology-Narconon courses to help suffering patients lead a drug free life — I cared with my entire being.

To become a course room supervisor was an easy task, although extremely boring, and most of the training material made absolutely no sense as far as drug treatment and rehab therapies are concerned. Listening to 12 hours of tape recordings by the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, was a prescription equivalent to a handful of Valium or bottle of barbiturates; my efforts to avoid falling asleep failed me on several occasions.

As a former owner/operator of a rehab facility back in the early 1990’s, I wondered what the hell this absurd course had to do with treating addicts. For twelve days, I listened to Hubbard ramble on about his photography experiences and I had to “word-clear” ridiculous words such as “nomenclature”, “it”, “the”, etc. — having to define with dictionary-like perfection what these words mean. “Oh, this should really help a distraught, suffering addict,” I mused.

I later learned that it was all about being able to control others, as well as obeying the control commands of superiors. A gradient of brainwashing may well be the best way to describe this process.

When patients complete the Narconon program, which consists of studying eight Scientology books with Narconon stamped on them and completing the toxic sauna Purification Rundown, many are more confused and unable to cope than when they first arrived. In this vulnerable state, being recruited onto staff by a keen Scientology staff member is no big chore. “Saving lives” is the motto each morning at the military-style roll-call. Playing God in a science-fiction adventure of deception and abuse may be a fitting way to describe the plot of the Narconon story.

Patients are paired as “twins” to perform all the Scientology training routines and auditing sessions. Patients are yelling at ashtrays: “Ashtray, stand up!” “Sit back down on that chair!” Other patients are commanded: “You, look at that wall.”  “You, touch that wall.”

Some patients can be seen walking back and forth between a table on which lies a book and a windowsill on which stands a green wine bottle. One of the patients commands the other: “You, look at that bottle.”  “You, walk over to that bottle.” “What color is the bottle?”  “What is the temperature?” “What does it weigh?” The patient who receives the commands then turns around, obeying the same commands for the book on the table. This routine can go on for days at a time.

Some patients go into hypnotic-type trances while others have near-psychotic breaks and end up in the Ethics Office for misbehaving. Here they are interrogated and screened for possible connections to a “Suppressive Person” outside Narconon. If the Ethics Officer decides you are connected to a Suppressive Person, you may be advised to disconnect from family and loved ones.

When I moved up the ladder and became the Graduate Officer, the things I saw and read were even more absurd. I took a “Product Clearing Course” and training on the Valuable Final Product (VFP) took a day or so. Thus did I become a Certified Counselor in aftercare and relapse prevention. And, of course, calculating the Narconon success rate was an eye-opener!

Basically, my job consisted of preparing statistics about the patients or “Products” and having the data ready to send up-lines to Scientology every Thursday by 2:00 P.M. sharp. Nothing else seemed to matter except these stats.

If patients I contacted had relapsed, they were not counted as VFP’s; they could not be expected to perform what we needed. I also had to convince the patients who were doing well (VFP’s) to send a new intake patient to Narconon Trois-Rivières. We were to suggest that the successful patient’s life was saved by Narconon and that now this same patient “owed” a debt to help Narconon.

I was instructed to spend less time on the suffering relapsed patients. No stats could be used for them and Narconon did not want too many to come back at one time, because it would not look good.

Discharging graduating patients was an easy task. It took only an hour or so to process them and send them back to the same environment they came from. I knew some that needed a half-way house or a similar step to ensure a safe environment, but my words fell on deaf ears and were met with outlandish comments from my superiors.

When a cry for help arrived in my email inbox, my instructions were to have the relapsed patient read the Narconon books and perhaps do a Scientology “condition formula”. I thought: “They were here for 4 months reading these crazy books and the books did nothing to prevent a relapse. What is a couple more days going to do when they are not even here?” I remember sitting at my office desk in tears, reading their tales of suffering and their cries for help — “Please David, help me.” Mistakenly, I did bring a couple back, and I do regret this.

Once the patient interviews are complete, a graduating patient is driven to the Montreal airport and dropped off to catch a flight. Unfortunately, there is often much time to visit one of the airport bars before the flight, and some lasted only minutes before relapsing!

The Narconon staff, who are also Scientologists, are well aware that the only way for a Narconon patient to remain clean and sober, according to L. Ron Hubbard, is to enroll in the “NED Drug Rundown” offered at the Church of Scientology.

Scientology’s own words about the “NED Drug Rundown” say: “On this rundown, the harmful effects of drugs are erased and a person is freed from the compulsion or need to take drugs. This service handles drugs and the real reason a person started taking them in the first place.”

“Addressing drugs with NED technology removes the barriers that prevent progress up THE BRIDGE levels. It is a vital step on your NED program.”

What these quotations imply is that the Narconon program does NOT erase the harmful effects of drugs, nor does it free a patient from the compulsion or need to take drugs!

As evidence documents prove, Narconon is nothing more than a recruitment center for the Church of Scientology, to expand its cult practices into the secular community using Scientology coercion and exploitation of vulnerable and very ill patients. Aftercare of patients is all but non-existent.

Patty (Pieniadz) Moher was Executive Director of a state Narconon program and also a Scientologist for 27 years.  She says:  “Narconon tries to pretend that it is not a Scientology front group, but the links have been exposed many times in the past.  It is just another hoax that the cult uses to make money.”

Participation in an aftercare program often makes the difference between abstinence and relapse. Overcoming months or years of addiction isn’t easy for anyone, especially after Narconon. Going through treatment for an addiction is often a life-saving blessing, but it’s just the first step in an ongoing process toward recovery.

Addicts are never “cured” of their addiction. It is a disease like many others. Addicts learn to understand the basis for their addiction, to see the contributing factors, to cope with and manage cravings and temptations, and to develop more healthy behaviors that will sustain them on their path toward recovery.

A person sometimes just needs a friend or a loved one, someone who understands, and someone who has been through the same type of experience. Whether it’s today, next week or next year, something may happen that rocks the carefully established foundation of sobriety and the person in recovery needs help. Again, help and support —– or an understanding ear to listen — is always available in an appropriate 12-step group. Friends, sponsors and the people the recovering addict meets during these meetings may be the lifeline that keeps them firmly rooted in sobriety — or helps them out during periods of crisis.

Narconon Scientology Training Routines

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Narconon is 100% Cult/Sect- Scientology. In a recent Narconon Program Book examination by a prominent Canadian University professor, it was stated, “…..I found NO concepts in the Narconon books that were not from Scientology…..”

Narconon executives and other staff vehemently deny Narconon is connected to Scientology. Their rehearsed response is, “Narconon is not Scientology, and we only use the “Tech” from L. Ron Hubbard.” L. Ron Hubbard’s so-called “Tech” IS Scientology, with all the bells and whistles as seen in this Scientology website.

http://www.volunteerministers.org/bookstore/study.html

When one reviews this website, it becomes clear that the Narconon Program books are Scientology books with the Narconon label stamped in big letters.

So let’s examine what L. Ron Hubbard has written over the years to scam and exploit vulnerable victims:

“THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CONTROL PEOPLE IS TO LIE TO THEM”. You can write that down in your book in great big letters. The only way you can control anybody is to lie to them.”  – L. Ron Hubbard, “Off the Time Track,” lecture of June 1952.

“MAKE MONEY. MAKE MORE MONEY. MAKE OTHER PEOPLE PRODUCE SO AS TO MAKE MORE MONEY.” – L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 9 March 1972, MS OEC 384.

“Somebody someday will say ‘this is illegal.’  By then be sure the orgs [Scientology organizations] say what is legal or not.” – L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 4 January 1966, “LRH Relationship to Orgs”

“They smell of all the baths they didn’t take. The trouble with China is, there are too many chinks here.” - L. Ron Hubbard’s diary, 1928.  (Jon Atack, A PIECE OF BLUE SKY: SCIENTOLOGY, DIANETICS AND L. RON HUBBARD EXPOSED. Lyle Stuart/Carol Publishing Group 1990).

“There are only two answers for the handling of people from 2.0 down on the Tone Scale, neither one of which has anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to their justification of their acts. The first is to raise them on the Tone Scale by un-enturbulating some of their theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow.” – L. Ron Hubbard, SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL, p. 170

“We’re playing for blood, the stake is EARTH.”  – L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 7 November 1962.

“Let’s sell these people a piece of blue sky.” – L. Ron Hubbard to an associate in 1950, soon after the opening of the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation.  (Jon Atack, A PIECE OF BLUE SKY: SCIENTOLOGY, DIANETICS AND L. RON HUBBARD EXPOSED, Lyle Stuart/Carol Publishing Group. 1990).

Narconon-Scientology has sold the unwary, “a piece of blue sky” and exploited them for many millions.

As a Course Room Supervisor at Narconon Trois-Rivieres, I attended the Case Supervisor’s office on many occasions. The Course Room Supervisors drop off patient files on a shelf for the Case Supervisor to review before the patient proceeds to the next Scientology activity. To see if there is a “Case Gain”, (having successes in Scientology, making progress), the patient’s file is carefully reviewed using the Scientology “Green Volumes.” Also, in the Course Room, there is a Scientology “Hand Book” that is used to define whether the patient is “Cracked” yet and allowed to move on. This book is locked away and not seen by the patients. “Cracked”, is describing a Case Gain (qv) of such proportions that one’s Bank or Reactive Mind (memories of pain and unconsciousness) is knocked back forever.

Time and confidential Court evidence, does not allow me to reveal ALL of the Narconon scam, but in due course, the truth shall prevail.

I hope this brief article will help some of the Narconon Trois-Rivieres graduates, to understand some of why and what I’m doing.

Scientology is a dangerous and deadly cult. Is this the detoxification center you would send your loved one to? Perhaps the following website will convince:

“The lucrative market for predatory cults and interventionists to fill their coffers with fast cash appears to be expanding faster than a get rich quick, pyramid scheme. A simple Google search for an “interventionist” or “addiction help”, immediately entraps the vulnerable into the money machine of cons and quackery.”

A recent Narconon documentary exposing the health risks and dangers at Narconon and Scientology in Quebec, has stirred an ongoing controversy, resulting in government intervention at Narconon Trois-Rivieres. The Ministry of Health and Social Services is investigating numerous complaints arising from patients being mistreated and abused. The Quebec Human Rights Commission is moving forward with several cases, including Narconon exploiting disabled patients, forced labour without remuneration, as well as intimidation and other abuses.

One Narconon interventionist from British Columbia boasts a 100% success rate, saying he did 15 interventions in six months – - apparently a money machine in action. Following several months of investigation the aforesaid has been proven false, with one relapsed victim in the process of filing complaints.

“USC Educator and Addiction Medicine Pioneer Dr. Akikur Mohammad has launched an Intervention Awareness Campaign. Dr. Akikur, along with several addiction professionals in the region, are launching an intervention awareness campaign designed to educate the public about the marvels and pitfalls of the intervention process.

Dr. Mohammad said, “While there is absolutely no doubt that when dealing with a medical disease, proper and careful intervention by a qualified individual is the key to healing; well, that sentiment holds particularly true for the disease of addiction.” Mohammad added, “Sadly, a shocking number of interventionists working today are not just unqualified to perform quality interventions, but they are also drastically overcharging people in need for their questionable services. In my opinion, this behavior is borderline criminal and must be stopped.”

Dr. Mohammad and his peers have decided that until there is a consistent and respected regulatory system in place to monitor the actions of qualified interventionists, they are forming an alliance of addiction experts throughout the recovery industry that will be keeping a registry of qualified and reputable interventionists, and making their list available to the public upon request. Mohammad added, “Our team is launching this campaign to not only educate the public about the intervention process and how to find the best qualified interventionist for your situation, but also to provide some system of checks and balances to an intervention industry that until now has operated below the radar. There is no room for error when treating this disease and the professionals responsible for critical interventions need to be qualified or out of business; it is that simple and an awareness campaign is a much needed first step.” Contact Information: Jed Wallace at:  jed@streetrelations.com

Apparently, in many Provinces and States, a person can easily hang out their “shingle” in websites without any professional credentials or government certified training whatsoever. Some use their Scientology rehab FSM certificates that were printed off a Narconon office printer to suffice as being qualified.

An Illinois Model for Certification of AODA Assessment and Referral Specialists (CARS), certified AODA assessors are required to pay a biennial recertification fee and submit 40 continuing education units (CEUs). This could serve well as a model for all Canadian and America jurisdictions.

Their mission is to protect the public by providing competency based credentialing of Human Service professionals. IAODAPCA is a private, non-profit organization that promotes standards for professionals in the alcohol and other drug abuse field. IAODAPCA shall protect the welfare of the public through the improvement of quality health care service being provided to the alcohol and other drug abusing individual, his/her family, and/or significant others.

IAODAPCA also encourages the highest ethical standards for all practitioners. Towards this end, the Board has established a Code of Ethics for the alcohol and other drug abuse professional in Illinois. IAODAPCA also investigates and may take disciplinary action on reports of ethical violations.

The current state of monitoring unlicensed interventionists and referral service agents in Canada and Quebec will soon be under scrutiny. Many of these so-called services may do far more harm than good when vulnerable patients are referred to cookie-cutter rehab centers, such as Narconon whose program is a one size fits all pseudoscientific quackery at best; leaving individualized treatment by the wayside.

Claims of 100% success by interventionists, 70-90 percent success rates by Narconon, are ludicrous inflations of the truth that lure the unsuspecting victim into the money grinder of deceit. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is, says the Canada Competition Bureau who monitors such frauds.

In simple terms, a reasonable person would not pay $90 per hour to have his car worked on by an unlicensed, back-yard mechanic or have a dentist harpoon his gums with anesthetic (freezing), if the dentist was not qualified or government certified by current medical standards.

An addict seeking treatment is a very ill patient, who deserves qualified medical treatment, with professional nurses and physicians on hand for emergencies.

According to government sources, Interventionists and referral agents should be government certified when attempting to assist and refer patients to treatment centers. Each patient has different needs according to their physical and mental state, requiring specific, directed care for each case.
