NARCONON HELPS ADDICTS END ABUSE

Thank you for taking the time to do your part in helping to fight one
of our society's greatest problems. The people reading this article
most likely know someone dealing with addiction issues this very second.

Did you know that there are more than 23 million Americans considered
to have substance abuse problems right now? Did you know that there
are over 1 million people in this country receiving substance abuse
treatment right now? Did you know that the United States has the
highest jail/prison population in the world and that roughly 80
percent of that population is incarcerated either directly or
indirectly for issues involving substance abuse?

My name is Emily Milburn, I am 19, and I used to be a statistic. I
was 13 years old when I first started using drugs. My substance abuse
problems finally landed me in jail.

My family was devastated. They did not understand why I was making
such poor choices. They did not know what to do or where to turn.
They were confused, they were disappointed, but more than anything,
they just wanted to get me some help!

Fortunately for my family and ultimately for me, there are avenues
readily available for people to get help in our great country.
Newspapers, television stations, radio broadcasts, the Internet, all
of these outlets made it possible for my family to do their research
and find the right program for me. And it worked!

I graduated from the Narconon program and have been doing great
since. My family chose this specific program because of its unique
and non-traditional approach that specialized in my type of addiction
and because it has a success rate of more than 70 percent.

I want your readers to know that there is always hope, and there is
always something that can be done about addiction issues. If you are
tired of watching someone you love lose everything in life that
matters, then do something about it now!

Narconon provides free addiction counseling, local referrals, and
residential treatment, and can be reached at 1-800-468-6933.

Thank you for this opportunity, and together we can make the world a
better place.
