The largest facility in the Narconon drug rehabilitation and
education network joins forces with area business and groups to create
a safer environmen.
(Canadian, OK) - Narconon Arrowhead believes that their role in fighting the drug
problem is more than just effective rehabilitation services. They also provide drug
education and prevention as well as work with other community leaders to improve
living conditions in the area.
Recently they participated in an effort to revive an old theater nearby with the
Pride in McAlester group, where several staff members assisted in cleaning it up the
OKLA Theater along with people from Westwood Construction, Hope House and Interior
Resources. It was just one of many community events the organization has
participated in this year.
In addition to providing drug prevention for tens of thousands of students
throughout the state of Oklahoma and surrounding areas, Narconon Arrowhead has also
been working with local businesses to offer drug education in the workplace, and was
named the business of the month for the McAlester Area Chamber of Commerce.
A manager at a local plant that received a workplace seminar reported, “Our staff
has learned so much more than we may have anticipated learning or had already known
about the affects of substance and alcohol use both in and out of the workplace. We
have learned to recognize key factors and circumstances that drive people to
substance abuse and why people continue of this path of destruction…I recommend the
training that Narconon provides to area businesses as a means to strengthen their
organizations.”
Additional community involvement continues throughout National Recovery month and
heading into Red Ribbon Week in October, where Narconon Arrowhead is one of the
active members in the “Take Back McAlester” campaign, culminating in a 10K run that
supports the arts and humanities. Positive activities such as these help reduce
substance abuse among youth and adults and those with the Narconon program believe they
are essential to the enrichment of a community.
The Narconon facility in Oklahoma is situated on more than 250 acres inside
Arrowhead State Park on Lake Eufaula. This facility is part of the international
network of Narconon drug rehabilitation and education programs now spanning 45
countries and over 140 centers and groups. For more information, please visit our
