Narconon Drug Addiction News

How often those words are spoken, and yet so many times they are just dismissed. Sadly, it sometimes takes a personal tragedy to make these words seem important. There would, realistically be far less tragedy if people would only heed the words; Please don’t drink and drive. Drinking and driving causes a staggering loss of life, not to mention some life altering injuries.

Holidays and social gatherings go together. If only more people would realize that they can be just as fun, just as joyous, without alcohol. Drunk driving causes more deaths during the holidays than any time throughout the year. No one is more aware of this than Narconon Trois-Rivieres, which has an excellent alcohol rehab program. Sadly, too many people wait until the damage is done to seek treatment. Drinking, drinking and driving, and fatal accidents all go together. Sometimes, the person drinking isn’t even the one driving. Many pedestrians are killed as well while under the influence of alcohol.

Drinking and driving is literally a game of roulette. No one ever thinks they are too impaired to drive when they have been drinking, but the results are devastating. Many times, the survivor, the one who has been drinking and driving, must live with the consequences for the rest of their lives. Taking another human life is not something that anyone takes lightly. Narconon Trois-Rivieres is there to help. Sometimes, just calling and getting straight answers is all someone needs to get help.

“Please, don’t drink and drive”. These are five simple words that can save so very many lives and prevent so many useless deaths. Drinking and driving are a deadly combination. If you do drink, please have someone else drive. Many taxi companies offer free rides home during the holiday season for people who have been drinking. It certainly is worth checking into! Even if you must foot the bill, $20 is a small price to pay to know that lives may have been saved.

Everyone should be on the lookout for those who have been drinking and driving. Devastation can happen in the blink of an eye. It is best to do a lot of defensive driving, especially during the holidays when people are drinking and driving. Don’t let yourself become another statistic. If you drink, don’t drive. If you will be driving, don’t drink. It’s simple, really.

Narconon Trois-Rivieres – Don’t Drink and Drive PSA

NARCONON TROIS-RIVIERES, Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada: When people go to a Narconon rehab center or any other rehabilitation center, it usually means they have hit a point in their lives where things can’t get much worse. Unfortunately, there are many who still avoid getting help even when their world has turned upside down. If only they would realize that going to a rehab center can save their lives, in more ways than one.

There were 11,773 drunken driving deaths in 2008. In Canada 33.8% of motor vehicle deaths were associated with alcohol use. All of these could have been prevented if a rehabilitation center would have been utilized. Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of death around the world.

Deaths caused by cirrhosis of the liver and other ailments due to alcoholism increase every year. Pancreatitis is also a contributing factor in many alcohol related deaths. Repression of the respiratory system is a major cause of death for drug addicts, especially those who use drugs such as Oxycontin and Oxycodone. These deaths also can be prevented by seeking help from a rehabilitation center.

In the United States alone, prescription drugs cause most of the more than 26,000 fatal overdoses each year. Add that to the number of illicit drug users overdose statistics and you up to nearly 60,000 a year. Those are 60,000 people that could have lived had they gone to a drug rehabilitation center.

Pregnancies of drug and alcohol users many times end in spontaneous abortions or serious, life threatening illnesses to the fetus or newly born child. Innocent lives have been taken as a result of drugs and alcohol.

Rehabilitation centers not only prevent actual lives from being taken, but they also can affect the quality of lives people live. A person does not have to die to have the essence of their lives taken away. Drug and alcohol addiction causes people to lose their jobs, families, friends, and much more. In a sense, there are many people still living who have no lives due to addiction. Rehabilitation centers can help them to get their lives back. They can help addicts learn to resist the temptations and use techniques to live life without drugs and/or alcohol.

Rehabilitation centers such as those in the Narconon network help to save lives not only in the literal sense, but by saving the quality of lives too. The time to get help is now. It could save your life and it could save the lives of many others. Rehabilitation can improve your quality of life and the number of years you may have left on this earth.

Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada – “Awesome to see those who got me through my own program, and congrats to those there now facing their issues. Happy Holidays Narconon!” commented a viewer of the Narconon Holiday Extravaganza.  With a full audience and people watching over the internet, this particular holiday special turned out to be quite the event.  It had a very festive opening with French Canadian singer Lea Morganne singing, Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree, while being backed up by the Narconon choir.  “The talent that young lady has is incredible and she really started the show off right,” said Marc Bernard the executive director of Narconon Trois-Rivieres.

These live graduations hosted by this Narconon in Canada are done no where else throughout the Narconon network.  “It was great to be able to provide an exciting way for graduates and students of the program to pass along holiday wishes to their loved ones who were watching at home,” commented Bernard.  The holiday season can be tough for individuals who are battling drug and alcohol addiction, and many addicts never really see any hope that sobriety is possible.  The Narconon drug rehab program in Canada plans to continue to broadcast special live graduations a few times a year.

“It was an absolute pleasure to MC the event and be part of a special holiday gift for everybody,” said Marc.  The show ended off quite emotionally with Lea Morganne singing a beautiful rendition of Halleluiah.  The musical talent combined with the inspirational speeches, and of course the graduates, which are the real reason Narconon host graduations, all made this holiday extravaganza something to remember.  To watch the recorded live graduation you can visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRXDTkTCIJ8
