Horrible place. Only Jesus Christ will be able to punish the horrible individuals that follow the cult of Scientology. There is zero, and I mean 0 SCIENCE in their so called "program". You are told that a bag of sugar, or any amount of caffeine during a period of detox from drugs/alcohol is the equivalent of taking a bag of heroin, cocaine etc. I was told that so many times, and of course played along, little did they know i was a "secret shopper" if you will for a watchguard group, which is self funded, non profit and isn't well none. Our goal is to get and record all footage of any Narconon facilities in the United States, I admitted myself around the year 2009-2010, had my "parents" involved, we had been doing research/surveillance on this particular facility in various methods for 9-13 months prior to me "starting" the program. Now, I'm free to speak about it and post about the entire experience. If you are looking for a treatment center for drug and alcohol abuse and you believe science, facts, etc. This is NOT a place or organization you should even look into. I'm sure the damn near $20,000 it took to stay there only 3.5 months was pocketed and blown on their personal habits, groceries cause it definitely wasn't going towards the facilities. They have a paper trail but work very hard to hide it. We uncovered multiple law infractions, and they are now under legal investigation by Oklahoma State Police, and US Marshall's office (for two different reasons) One that I can mention involves tax fraud, welfare fraud and aiding and abetting multiple convicted criminals between 2012-2016. Felony warrants were out for five felons some violent domestic charges, some also were being brought there to hide out for federal tax evasion. Honestly I could go on, but in due time this won't be a facility anymore and hopefully can be owned by a company or person that would make it into a vacation area for people looking to enjoy a beautiful area. Folks, continue looking if you care about your loved one that is struggling, I wouldn't even consider enrolling into this school of Scientology. No scientific data nor facts are used and our undercover footage that is finally going to be released to the public in May 2023, will I assume, dissolve this so called "recovery" center. Owners beware. I know you, you knew me. And you know our organization is set on closing you down. Public info shows your aiding and abbeting of a wanted person to the world now, and also if you know the owners real name, you can also see his original charge of money laundering and tax evasion. In due time all will be for the public to see. Remember that, and Scientology is something to be laughed at, and also very concerning because you're hurting people's health, not helping like you "claim" do. STAY AWAY. Our $30,000 dollar donation finally is starting to pay off and the ball is beginning to roll right off the lake. LEARN TO SWIM all associated in running or working at this facility. read more

Made my addiction worse: I am ashamed to say I did a six month "program" at Narconon Arrowhead two to three years ago. During my stay, I was forced to practice Scientology "Training Routines" and "Objective Exercises." These consisted of sitting in a chair and staring at other addicts for hours, reading lines from the book "Allison In Wonderland," repeatedly walking around a confined room and touching objects for hours and hours, and "bull-baiting" (having another addict degrade you while you maintain a consistent blank expression.) Never once did they ever address my actual drug problem. Another part of the program consists of sitting in a crowded sauna for over six hours a day, forced to swallow TONS of low grade vitamins and niacin. Other than a place to discard vitamins, the saunas were know for their grime and as hook-up spots for students. Putting the "therapy" aside, during my stay I was exposed to violence, sex, drugs and alcohol between students and staff members. I even tried Oxy, steroids, various pills I got from a staff member, and GHB for the first time during my stay. Most of the time staff members, (most are ex addicts with no prior experience) were able to stay employed because their families would pay thousands to the center after that person was caught breaking a rule, no matter how serious. They kept finding new reasons to charge my parents thousands of dollars. Worried about me, they usually paid in full, leaving their faith in the hands of Scientology businessmen. They preyed upon my parent's concern and worry and milked them a long as they could. I am clean today DESPITE this terrible place. It is dirty, the food sucks, insects are everywhere, and the untrained/ unqualified staff creates a dangerous environment. They were even in the news recently for a couple deaths which took place there. Do not believe the high rates of success they claim. Literally dozens and dozens of people were going through the program for the third or forth time or more times while I was there. read more

A Life-Changing Experience at Narconon Arrowhead My time at Narconon Arrowhead came during some of the roughest years of my life--and looking back, I now see it was the beginning of a clear and transformative path forward. Entering the program, I didn't know what to expect. I came from a traditional 12-step background and felt unsure if I had ever truly had control over my life. I wasn't even sure it was possible to feel powerful again. But what I found at Narconon was something profoundly different--and deeply effective. One of the most impactful parts of my journey was the New Life Detoxification Program. This experience stands out as one of the most powerful I've ever had. My body had carried the residues of years of compounded drug and alcohol use, along with environmental toxins. The detox process gave me the chance to clear those residues--physically, mentally, and spiritually--and with that cleansing came clarity and renewal. From the very beginning, I was encouraged--not just to recover, but to relearn how to learn. That first step sparked a major shift in my life. Through study, practical application, and the program's unique approach, I began to see myself and my surroundings more clearly. I started to understand the conditions of my life, the influences of those around me, and how to manage my own affairs in a world that doesn't always make it easy. Narconon Arrowhead offers more than just a break from addiction--it offers a real opportunity for self-mastery. But the truth is, it only works if you're ready to make a life choice--to truly shed the old and step into something new. For me, it wasn't just about sobriety--it was about becoming whole again. If you are willing and able to do the work, this program is here to help you return to a healthy, balanced, and purposeful life. read more

I recently went to this facility. This program has helped me get my life back. I was headed down a bad path where I wasn't going to be able to accomplish what I wanted to do in life so I seeked help. The staff here was very helpful and completely dedicated to improving peoples lives and showing them the way to live a drug free life. The sauna program was amazing!!!! I truly don't have the craving to use drugs anymore. It's something I have struggled with for most of my life and its completely gone. I never believed it was possible but I don't have any problems with wanting to get back on drugs. The courses that are administered here seemed silly to me at first but everyday that goes by I see them helping me in all the areas of my life more and more. I am thankful I made the decision to go here. I'm a more productive person than I have ever been. My communication skills are better than ever before. My relationships are better everyday and still improving with the information I learned here. I'm a better father and a better husband today than I was before. I contribute that to the skills I learned here. Thank you guys for all your help!!! I am not the same guy that showed up there and I couldn't have done it without this program. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that needs help and looking for a program that really works or to a person that wants their loved one back. This will bring them back and it will be successful. Best decision I've ever made in my life! I got my life back. read more

I never thought I'd be writing a review for an alcohol rehab center, but I also never thought I'd be living the life I have now--healthy, grounded, and hopeful again. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel seen, not judged. The staff here are incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and real. Many of them have been through recovery themselves, which made a huge difference in how deeply I connected to the process. The care was thorough, and I always felt safe, especially in those first difficult days. What really stood out was how holistic the program is. It wasn't just about quitting alcohol--it was about understanding myself and learning how to live fully without needing to escape. Through the program and daily routines, I was able to rebuild not just my habits but my mindset. The facility itself is peaceful and absolutely beautiful. It gave me the space I needed to disconnect from chaos and reconnect with myself. I'm now several months sober, and I still use the tools I learned here every day. They are also available to talk to and help you even after you leave the facility, which helped ease my transition back into daily life. If you or someone you love is struggling, I can't recommend this place enough. It gave me my life back. read more

I couldn't imagine getting drug free anywhere else. The program is an amazing journey of healing your mind body and soul. I was taught that a better life was available to me. I wasn't a broken meth addict, I wasn't an addict for life. I had made some disastrous decisions that brought me here but I learned so much more than just being drug free. The things that resonates with me now that I graduated are a 1. It takes as long as it takes meaning this is not some facility just out to make numbers and flip beds. If it takes 90 days ok great if you are like me it takes longer. Which by the way was worth every extra day I spent here. 2. I wasn't referred to as a patient the entire time. I was treated with dignity and respect. They called us students, learning how to be a better person and led a better life. The program was hard physically mentally and emotionally but I don't have the words to explain how worth it the experience was. I have my life back plus some. They taught me how to be the absolute best person for myself my family and my community. I have had friends in the past that have gone to other rehab centers and relapsed, now I know for certain where to recommend they go to be clean once and for all. read more

I have been at Narconon Arrowhead a few months now and before I came here I did tons of research and read review after review of this place. After reading the reviews I was more confused than before I started. They range anywhere from the place is a cult and a death trap all the way to the place is literally life-changing and they owe them their life. How confusing is that?! I was honestly so scared coming here and wasn't sure what in the world to expect. But I truly have to say this place is filled with some of the nicest people I have ever met that honestly really do care about helping people change their life. Some of the techniques are a little strange and take some getting used to but they are all intended to bring your mind into the present instead of dwelling on your past. They do use the Ron Hubbard material but no one has ever in any way tried to get me to be a scientologist or anything like that. The food here is great too! I am watching person after person change their life and it is really empowering and inspiring to see! If you are serious about getting healthy I cannot imagine a more beautiful peaceful place to do so--the views of the water here are breath-taking! read more

I was a 5 year meth addict. I came here deep in my addiction, and living day by day with no consideration for tomorrow. I knew my life wouldn't get better unless I quit using and I tried but urges and temptations were quick to follow. I was sick of myself and I wanted to be healthy. But I thought as soon as i got help it would be somebody telling me what I think and since the day I came to Narconon nobody evaluated me or invalidated me. What they did do was reassure me that i will have a future to look forward to when I ended the program. It was a huge statement to hear after the damages I had caused to myself, but having finished the program, I can say they were right. I came into this program 145 pounds, and I graduated at 175 pounds. My family is at peace with me and happy with me, Ive got a job, and the urges i once felt from past attempts to quit are not present. It is such a relief to be me and I can look people in the eyes again. When I used to live day by day, I now look forward to tomorrow. If you're tired of yourself and you are feeling hopeless. This place will set you free. read more

Narconon Arrowhead saved my daughters life! My daughter had been to treatment 2 or 3 times before attending Narconon Arrowhead. I was worried about some of the reviews but quickly realized much of this was propaganda once my daughter started doing so well. My daughter came from a good home and had no reason to choose the life she was living other than the hold addiction had on her and our inability to know how to really understand and help. We called Narconon Arrowhead and they helped us to get her off the street, in detox and begin a life of sobriety and of her choice . They helped her face her unwanted Demons and learn not to hide from them but gave her the tools to deal and cope with them so she could forgive herself and others . She has been sober 2 1/2 years and doing very well. Sometimes I still pinch myself because she has changed so much . I love my daughter and am grateful to Narconon Arrowhead for helping her to come back to the family and to LIFE! read more

This place help me get my life back. They 1st detox your body and your brain. The detoxification program is the best program in the world I would recommend this place to anyone with a drug addiction who don't ever want to use drugs again in their life, who don't ever want the desire to use drugs again in their life and whoever wants the thoughts of using to go away. They then put you inside a classroom and reboot your brain to make sure that you think right and that you feel right. This is the best program in the world today in my opinion. I can't thank the staff down at Narconon enough for how they handle the students. They are the nicest staff at a rehabilitation center I have ever been at. They truly do work Wonders on people and they truly truly care about you. Like I said I got my life back from these people here at Narconon. I would just say if you are a person who wants help and he needs help please call Narconon. They will turn your life right around. read more

Narconon Arrowhead is the best rehab center in the country!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have the best staff and do always have medical nurses on hand 24/7. They believe in holistic practices that will forever keep with you and help through other things that happen in life after the drug addiction is vanished. Drug addicts no longer think of doing drugs and actually live beautiful, rewarding, productive lives after this program. This program truly works and you will not need a sponser for the rest of your life as a matter of fact you will not even consider drugs as an option. I would recommend this program and have several times as I graduated 11 years ago and have gone on to owning 2 businesses and having a beautiful family. Forget about any other programs THIS IS THE ONE! At one point in my life I thought drugs were it and nothing could help! I was desperate and had given up. After this program you will not believe the new you! read more

If not for Narconon I wouldn't be the person I am today. When I went to Narconon I had decided I would be a drug addict the rest of my life. The only reason I went was because my mother begged me to. I went in with an open mind and gave it a real chance. It was a long, slow journey, but in the end it was well worth it. Not only did I realize that drug abuse was not a disease that I had to be medicated for, but I realized that my problem wasn't just with drugs. I did not know how communicate with people, how to live an honest life, how to control my own decisions and be responsible for them, and how to be happy. With the tools they use, Narconon helped me pull myself up and start living a productive happy life. I've been clean for over 15 years now. No one can learn what I have about themselves and not have hope for the future. Thank you Narconon. read more

I attended this facility 15 years ago. My life had become unmanagable and I really didn't know where to turn. When I arrived there I immediately felt at home. The counselors were very caring and professional and help me get through difficult days (and I had a lot of them at that time). I was very young at the time I attended this center and it taught me so many things about life. I was able to get healthy, detoxify my body, start exercising and eating right. And I learned life skills that really help me to gain stability. Fifteen years later I'm a successful business owner and a parent. This program helped me to mature into that person and I am very thankful for them. This technology truly saved my life. read more

I was very impressed by the sincerity, patience, knowledge and professionalism that the entire staff continuously displayed during my entire 6-month rehabilitation program. I NEVER felt judged or disrespected, but was welcomed with acceptance, care and understanding of my personal needs and was shown the guidance and given the tools that allowed me to flourish and prosper and live a sober life... PERMANENTLY! THANK YOU NARCONON FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK. I'm grateful and ecstatic with joy to be standing on my own two feet again. Much love and thanks to Narconon and it's staff for guiding me to a better life and a brighter future and showing me the Way to Happiness. Keep producing amazing results. read more

Narconon Arrowhead is great place to go for getting off drugs. Based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard, it's not the funnest place around, yet, it really does work. The staff, food and facilities is great and even has front loading washers. Come here and you'll ultimately be drug free. The center rests on the beautiful lake with a awesome view and tons of wild life, plenty of deer and a really cool raccoon to feed. I'd absolutely remember Narconon Arrowhead to others, just get here. read more

This place saved my life, it took me from a broken man who doubted himself through life and it changed me and taught me how to love myself again. Now that I'm drug free, I'm ready to take on the world! The most absolute best part of the program is the New Life Detox as it got rid of ALL of my cravings. Yes, I sweated my ass off, but, now I'm confident that all the drug residues are gone. I would recommend anyone to come to Narconon Arrowhead. Just get here! read more
