"Traditional" drug rehab programs are not getting the results society is desperately looking for. This is because these programs treat the symptoms rather than the cause. Our treatment program is based on the understanding that an individual is responsible for his own condition and that anyone can improve his condition if he is given a workable program to do so. This program is based on the understanding that man is basically good. It is pain, suffering, and loss that led him astray. The addicted person is trapped. Whatever problem he was initially trying to solve by using drugs or alcohols has faded from his memory. He lost the ability to control his usage and he ignores the consequences of his actions. Drugs have become the most important thing in his life. The addict is stuck in a vicious descending spiral. He is trapped in an endless cycle of trying to quit, craving, and fear of withdrawal.
The first step in the program is a Withdrawal Program. This is done under 24 hour supervision. Vitamin supplements and special procedures are used to minimize the pain and discomforts experienced during withdrawal. Doctors are available if needed.
Next is the Purification Program. A sauna program combined with vitamin supplements and exercise takes 2 to 3 weeks to complete. This program will "sweat out" the drug and alcohol residuals that have accumulated in the body. These residuals, if left in the body, can trigger the physical cravings. These toxins as well as other toxins and radiation are flushed out of the body. Those completing this program report that they have found a "new life."
Next we do Basic Communication Drills. A person's ability to confront and handle life can be greatly improved through a series of exact drills. These drills get the person into better communication with others and his environment.
Then we do Advanced Communication Drills which are tougher. These drills teach a person to calmly take charge of situations which could be potentially disastrous or dangerous.
Next: Perception Drills. Drugs inhibit one's ability to perceive life as it actually is. The person is often "stuck" in moments from the past. Here we have exercises which get a person's attention into the present. The benefit is that the person can now see the present with increased awareness and perception of his environment. This helps him gain the ability to control his own life and his environment.
Next: How to Choose One's Friends. Drug/alcohol users often make the wrong choices in their friendships. This part of the program educates the individual so that he can actually choose friends that are positive influences on his life. If a person doesn't learn this, he can go back home, go back to his old "friendships" which can threaten his future stability.
Integrity and Honesty. Next the person is ready to take responsibility for any past unethical conduct. People are ethical only when they are strong. A person will feel great relief when cleaning up the past. Now he can formulate guidelines and new solutions for future behavior. This greatly enhances the person's ability to face the future with certainty and trust in himself.
Finally, the Drug Rundown. A "rundown" is a series of steps designed to handle a specific aspect of a person's life or difficulties and which has a known end result. This private one-on-one "Dianetics" procedure is delivered by a highly trained practitioner. Complete freedom from drugs requires that the person address his mental pictures that are connected with having taken drugs. This activity removes the painful emotion from the traumatic experiences of the past, which are drug related. These experiences are directly addressed so that the person is no longer adversely affected by them. This rundown gets to the core of the matter. It locates the basic reasons a person took drugs. One finds out what was actually wrong BEFORE drugs became his solution. If this original reason is not addressed, the desire to take the drugs remains. The person discovers the causes which led him to take drugs/alcohol in the first place, thereby completely eliminating any desire to use or depend on them in the future.

"I started the Purification Program very recently. I was willing to do anything to free myself from all the toxins I had been putting in my body. I knew this was a vital first step to my new life. The first day I could actually taste the alcohol and smell it coming out of my pores. I felt a little woozy in the sauna, but made it through. About 30 minutes later I got very nauseous, dizzy, and had a horrible headache. I couldn't figure out what was going on, then I realized I had re-enacted a hangover! I couldn't believe how realistic it felt! Well, after the next couple of days in the sauna, I felt much better. This program requires taking niacin which helps push out the toxins. I didn't realize this also pushes out old or past illnesses that are still stuck in your body. After I took it one day, while I was on the treadmill (which you do before you get into the sauna every day), my ears were ringing very loudly. I then remembered a horrible ear infection I had one year earlier. After the ringing stopped, and I was out of the sauna, ALL of my senses seemed a million times sharper. My eyesight was clearer, my hearing was sharper, and my sinuses seemed to clear! As the days went on I had my ups and downs with the program as I ran toxins out. Then one day something felt different. I was sitting in the sauna a lot longer. Time was just cruising by. It didn't seem like anything was re-enacting at all. I even turned the temperature up a couple of degrees to really get a sweat going, and still nothing. This was it! I had run all the toxins out of my body! I had completed the Purification Program. I feel so "in focus" with life now, not foggy. I can see my future as bright, with a clear body and mind. Thanks to the Purification Program, I am now truly hopeful that my life took a major turn in the right direction. KH"
"Just before I came here, I was feeling as low as low could get. I COULD NOT stop drinking and I hit bottom. I needed and WANTED help so badly, I felt it in every fiber of my body. So that is when I met Anita and Les. I was willing to do anything they told me to help me get better. My first communication drill I had no idea what I was doing, but went along with instructions. My drilling partner, Pat, has worked with Les and Anita before. I had never met her but found our stories to be similar. The drill for the day was "confronting." The drill is to sit three feet away from each other with your eyes closed, but still very aware of the person in front of you. Easy enough. But then the next part was to do the same drill, but with your eyes open. I started to think, 'I can't do this! I can't even look people straight in the eye when I talk to them, let alone sit across from someone I don't know and stare at them!' But I trusted Les and went on with the drill. The first couple of minutes I had the giggles because it was so awkward for me. But then I started to relax and just focused on Pat. Then something amazing happened. I went to a place in my mind I had never been. I heard nothing, saw nothing, but Pat. I was in the zone! After about ten minutes I felt this overwhelming joy come over me, and I couldn't help but smile. Pat said I had "a win." At that moment, I felt I could skip across the lake, I felt so overjoyed. I had blown off something big. I felt amazing! I will never doubt myself or these communication drills again! KH"
"I never knew what communication drills were before I started working with Les and Anita on them. I never realized how important GOOD communication is in our everyday life, and how much good communication is lacking now-a-days. Also, I learned you don't have to respond in a harsh manner, even if someone said something really awful to you. You can just acknowledge you heard them and go on with your day! Amazing! The main thing I learned is I'm in control of how I react, confront, acknowledge, and communicate with people. I choose what or how I will respond. These drills have made me brighter, more aware of my thoughts, and a great communicator. I didn't realize how well these drills incorporated in my life until recently I was faced (on the telephone) with a very tough situation. If I never learned these drills I would have flown off the handle. But I confronted it, analyzed it, and put it into good communication with the person I was dealing with. AND I felt fantastic after! KH"
"My Advanced Communication Drills were fantastic. I learned how to manage people and situations no matter how difficult. I realized how strong your intention can be if you really put your mind to it. If your intention is to get home safely, a bomb can go off next to you, but you will get home safely because you intended to. Nothing or no one can or will stop you! You can manage and direct people and situations the way YOU want them to go, as long as you have strong intention. Nothing can stop me! KH"
"My experience with doing these processes was like no other. Besides doing my communication drills, I have never been more "in the present." I have never looked more forward to my future. I learned I have all control over my life, who is in it, and how I direct it. No one else can. I realized there is nothing in the universe I can't have. I'm the only one who is stopping me. This world is mine for the taking. I now have the confidence to go out and get it! KH"
"In my 'Drug Rundown,' I experienced some amazing realizations. I was guided by Les through past times that I have used drugs, and also the people involved. It's really hard work! I'm asked to recall the incident over and over until I have an 'OH, my God!' moment when I realize what my thought was, at that very moment, that made me take the drug in the first place! Most of the choices that seemed so right to me then, are so silly to me now! The realizations I had from this auditing were extremely intense. For the first time since I can remember, my attitude is completely even and calm. There is no conflict going on in my head at all, whereas before, it was constant. I truly feel like I'm looking through a new pair of eyes. I love that I now have awareness of truth, and have gotten back my personal freedom! I love life! KH"
"When I first arrived here, I was a broken spirit. I had lost the trust of my family. If I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I would cringe. I despised who I had become because of my drinking. Then came my angels, Les and Anita. I started to have a little glimmer of hope as they told me about the program and how they were going to help me every step of the way. Anita really "loved" me through the first week. It was terribly rough for me. As I went through my Purification Program, I started to feel brighter and happier. Doing my Communication Drills and my Perception Drills was a life changing process. I'm so grateful for my drilling partner, Pat. We had a great energy flow. By the time I got to my Drug Rundown, I was ready! I had some intense major wins, as I did with my previous steps. I love my life today. I am a beautiful, confident, new woman. The world is mine for the taking. I'm going to be a huge contribution to society. I'm now able to be a great mom, wife, and productive family member. Les, Anita, and Pat are my friends for life. I can look in the mirror and LOVE the wonderful being looking back. I love who I really am and look forward to living the rest of my life--happy, healthy, and sober. KH"
