Narconon Africa - Pioneering Effective Solutions and Instilling Hope Across an Entire Continent

Forging a Path to Drug-Free Living Through a Comprehensive Approach

Grand Opening of Narconon Africa

Narconon International proudly inaugurates a new substance abuse rehabilitation center in Rustenburg, North West, with active participation from community members and officials. The community warmly embraced this drug-free rehabilitation program as a crucial alternative amidst the escalating challenge of addiction in the country.

Drug addiction is a pervasive issue globally, and South Africa is no exception. With the opening of Narconon Africa, there's renewed hope for individuals struggling with addiction to find a path towards recovery and a brighter future.

Distinguished Guests

The grand opening witnessed a packed house, with over 1,600 guests and dignitaries gracing the occasion. Attendees included representatives from BRICS nations, religious leaders, local luminaries, officials from the North West local government, as well as representatives from the Department of Education, the Department of Health, and the Department of Social Development. These individuals celebrated the advent of this new center and commended its drug-free program model, which has a proven track record in addressing the vicious cycle of drug consumption and abuse.

The Narconon program extends beyond mere short-term rehabilitation. In addition to tackling the residues of drugs that trigger cravings through the Narconon New Life Detoxification, the program offers life skills development classes aimed at empowering participants to chart a course toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Participants are equipped with practical tools to confront the root causes of their drug abuse and navigate past negative influences and triggers in their surroundings. By addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, Narconon Africa aims to provide holistic support for individuals seeking recovery.

The Urgency of the Issue

Drug consumption in South Africa stands at double the global average, with 15 percent of the population directly affected by abuse. SAPS figures indicate that 60 percent of national crimes are linked to substance abuse.

South Africa has earned the dubious distinction of being labeled one of the drug capitals of the world by the United Nations. Establishing the Narconon center in Rustenburg marks a crucial step towards mitigating this life-threatening issue plaguing our nation.

In 2021, the former head of National Disaster Management classified the drug crisis in South Africa as a National Disaster. Millions of South African youth are ensnared by drugs, battling addiction on a daily basis, with far too many losing their lives.

A Beacon of Hope

Ms. Busisiwe Totsie Memela, CEO of SASSA and one of the guest speakers, expressed her elation at the center's opening. Drawing from her firsthand experiences with the devastating consequences of drugs, she emphasized the significance of effective, practical solutions in combating addiction.

"I am deeply committed to finding viable solutions to tackle drug addiction. Having witnessed the destructive impact of drugs on families, I am determined to prevent any family from enduring such suffering. This center embodies hope for the countless families grappling with this nationwide epidemic."
