Survey for Former Narconon Attendees

Have you been to Narconon? Please consider taking the Narconon Survey

The Downtown Independent Research Team is conducting an important and confidential independent survey for former clients of Narconon which is being housed at Reaching for the Tipping Point.

They want to hear about your experiences, good or bad. Your participation is important and needed.

The Downtown Independent Research Team is an anonymous volunteer effort by several individuals with knowledge of drug rehabilitation, consumer advocacy, governmental licensing agencies, sociology, psychology, and Scientology.

The Downtown Independent Research Team's first study focuses on the methods and effectiveness of the Church of Scientology's Narconon program, also known as First Step, New Life, and Sauna Detox. There are few existing independent studies on the effectiveness of and methods used in the program. While a number of complaints of misbehavior on the part of Narconon exist on the Internet, they are dispersed chaotically among various message boards, blogs, consumer complaint sites, and court records.

The Downtown Independent Research Team seeks to collate statistics based on reports from individuals who have used the Narconon program, and to determine if the alleged misbehavior is widespread and common to all branches of Narconon, or if it is limited to a select few. Additional goals are to determine how people choose the Narconon program from the many substance abuse rehabilitation programs that exist, and how people respond if they don't receive the services they paid for.
