rug education is key to the prevention of drug abuse, especially when it comes to children who grow up surrounded by magazine and television ads, movies and music which extol the “benefits” of feeling good by taking drugs.
Thus drug education is an important part of the Narconon program and many Narconons regularly deliver “Truth About Drugs” lectures to students of all ages.
The Narconon drug prevention specialists who deliver these lectures take a unique approach. Rather than using “scare tactic” approaches which have yielded indifferent results, Narconon uses educational principles developed by Mr. Hubbard to help students achieve their own understanding of the damage drugs can do to an individual. As a result, students who receive these lectures are far less likely to get started on drugs.
The results are outstanding. In one study of 1,045 students who received Narconon drug education, 86 percent of those who had considered the possibility of using drugs in the future said they had changed their minds. And 42 percent of those who had previously supported drug use reported they no longer did.
Hundreds of thousands of children have been reached with the truth about drugs through this drug education program.
