Narconon activities, from free-standing residential treatment centers to
drug education, receive support in many ways, varying with the country
and community.
Direct Government Funding
In parts of Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Switzerland,
once the Narconon method received official recognition as a drug
rehabilitation program, it became eligible for government funding, as
prescribed by local laws, distributed from the Social Boards of each
country. The Ministry of Health in England has also directly funded
Narconon residential rehabilitation. Narconon Colombia has received
funding for services to youth. The State of Utah in the United States
has funded Narconon non-residential services for juveniles on probation
for misdemeanor drug charges who are then court-ordered to the program.
Additionally, Narconon drug education has received federal, state and
local funding assistance in many countries.
Narconon drug education programs in the U.S. have been supported for
over 30 years with contributions from corporations and foundations
interested in the long-term value of this work.
In Sweden, where drug education has been delivered in great quantity
across the whole country, the Narconon staff have received repeated
grants not just from the government for support of administrative
expenses, but from the business community as well, directly toward the
cost of school lectures.
Other Benefactors and Volunteers
As with other charities, non-profit associations and
corporations around the world, many Narconon centers are fortunate to
receive support in different forms from volunteer agencies, churches,
civic volunteer organizations, etc. This has included, to give only a
few examples:
Police and other social agencies giving close support and working hand
in hand with drug education teams in Sweden, Norway and other countries.
A Taiwanese Buddhist social betterment group significantly funding and
promoting the use of Narconon rehabilitation services for adults and
juveniles.
Catholic sisters in Holland fundraising to help provide student
scholarships at Narconon Zutphen.
Indigenous Maori organizations in New Zealand donating land, facilities
and operating expenses.
Celebrities and other notables giving their names and public drawing
power to aid in Narconon fundraising events, as with the many "Narconon
All-Stars" softball games in Hollywood, stunt shows, etc.
Fee-For-Service and Insurance
Many Narconon centers maintain their viability and
continued production by charging fees for service. In the United States,
where this is the norm, Narconon centers have been largely
self-supporting for 25 years.
U.S. insurance companies are increasingly coming to recognize the
Narconon program for its long-term success rate or, to state it more
according to the "bottom line," for the low recidivism and drug
reversion rate achieved by Narconon graduates. Because of this, health
care funders are covering the unique Narconon program in steadily
growing numbers.
The Association for Better Living and Education (ABLE)
ABLE is an international non-profit, public benefit
corporation, established in 1988, which licenses groups using L. Ron
Hubbard's technologies in purely secular charitable programs.
ABLE licenses Narconon International to use Mr. Hubbard's drug
rehabilitation and prevention methods. It also ensures that this
technology is made available to anyone who needs it and that the
programs delivered under the Narconon trademark are delivered in
accordance with Mr. Hubbard's specifications. ABLE provides the needed
guidance and technical assistance to Narconon through its international
and continental offices. More information can be found about the
Assocation For Better Living and Education by visiting their website at
www.able.org.
From time to time, Narconon centers and Narconon International itself
have requested grants from the International Association of
Scientologists (IAS) for specific Narconon needs. The IAS has provided
grants to the Narconon organization for such important projects as the
pilot installation of the Narconon program inside Ensenada State Prison
in Baja California, Mexico, and the purchase by Narconon International
of the beautiful quarters of Narconon Mediterraneo outside of Seville,
Spain.
Individual churches of Scientology have also occasionally held
fundraising benefits for local Narconon centers. One such recent benefit
was a charity concert held at L. Ron Hubbard's former home at Saint Hill
in Sussex, England which raised donations for Narconon United Kingdom
and two other charities - The Royal National Lifeboat Institution and
the Youth Trust.
The Church of Scientology, the IAS, and individual Scientologists are
among many other benefactors, individual and corporate, who have
supported Narconon drug rehabilitation or prevention activities.
