Fighting an addiction is extremely difficult and something typically frowned upon by society. To restate that, society doesn't frown on fighting addiction, but they frown on addiction itself. That stigma makes it difficult for people to come forward that have a problem and need help.

Its even harder for people to continue with that help if they have a difficult time connecting with the people, facilitators, counselors or medical staff trying to help them. Our sponsors at narconon work very hard to make people fighting addiction comfortable and feel accepted so that they can clear their minds of the social issues and focus first on fighting their addiction at a chemical level and at a personal mental level. These things have to be tackled in a balanced way to prepare a person for later going back out into the world to continue the fight under the regular day to day pressures that the world can present.
