Narconon Riverbend Rehabilitation Center Graduates 10 in Time for the Holidays

  |   Comments   |   Bookmark and Share
Narconon Riverbend is a non-profit rehabilitation center for drug and alcohol users in Denham Springs, La., where 10 of their students have graduated just in time for the holidays.

The graduates explained that while being home for the holidays is the best gift one could receive, there is also a lot of pressure to drink at that time of year. Executive Director of Narconon, Cathy Steiner, recognizes the pressure around the holidays but says, “We're so glad our graduates have the program under their belt and the life skills needed to handle this time of year.”

The graduates could not be more pleased with their experience at Narconon Riverbend and all of them seem to agree that going there was the best choice they have ever made. 

T.H. made this very clear when he said, “This program has given me my life back. Narconon really is a New Life Retreat. Not only have I conquered my drug addiction, I have regained many of the skills I lost while using drugs. I have also learned many new skills, such as the ability to confront, control, and communicate... I owe my life to this place. I now have what it takes to live a happy and successful life."
