Narconon Trois-Rivieres: Scientology Connection - Part One

Aug. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Perhaps a dangerous cult of dichotomies would explain some of the puzzling contradictions at this Canadian Rehab treatment facility. The ongoing controversy over the Narconon Rehab being secular, religious, or holistic, may continue on for decades, but the Scientology staff’s actions, point a clear assist finger at being a “Religious” entity. Although we must be cautious in judging ones actions before we know their motives; Hubbard has exposed motive in his writings, leaving “cautious” a moot point.

The words secular, religious, and holistic, are used at random to further the greatest good for their own Religious Group Doctrines and Therapies. In L. Ron Hubbard’s, own words, he states, “The only way you can control people, is to lie to them.” In a Policy Letter from 1972, Scientology Founder, Hubbard states, “Make Money. Make More Money. Make Other People Produce So As To Make More Money."

His motives are exposed in his decades of quotes: “"I'd like to start a religion. That's where the money is" and “"Let's sell these people a piece of blue sky." And these people pay and pay and pay.

Narconon uses the word secular to distance itself from the connection to Scientology controversies and the fear of losing profits should it become common knowledge to the public seeking help for desperate loved ones. When a vulnerable patient enters the Narconon facility under their care and control, speaking about or discussing Scientology is forbidden. In early December 2008, a staff member in the Withdrawal Unit quickly hushed up a few patients who were mumbling on about Narconon being Scientology. The patient who initiated the conversation had been in the Narconon program on a previous occasion and knew well that Narconon was Scientology.

Later on that same day, I inquired why a patient was not permitted to speak about a religion. After all, the Director did state to the Media that they do not discriminate against any religion – “all are welcome”, he said. I was amazed at the answer received from the Narconon staff member. “Well David” he said, “We are concerned that when a patient contacts their family at home, that they will continue speaking about Narconon being Scientology, and it may create an atmosphere of fear, and the family might pull the patient out of Narconon and place them in another treatment center.”

Even though I prodded for more information about why, there were no further answers at that time.

Let’s Do Some Scientology Religious Therapies:

Every step of the Narconon program is Scientology, in every aspect and Religious Doctrine as set forth by Scientology Founder, L. Ron Hubbard. These Doctrines and Therapies begin the day a patient arrives at Narconon Trois-Rivieres, in the form of Assists, Auditing Techniques, and Scientology Training Routines. For a patient detoxing from alcohol or drugs, with no doctor, nurse, or any other professional, qualified medical staff monitoring symptoms, Narconon can be a dangerous, life threatening experience. It was not uncommon for an ambulance or staff member to be seen rushing a patient off to hospital emergency in Trois-Rivieres. Indeed, a disturbing scene.

This Scientology program continues on for three to five months. Many hours, weeks, and months of Scientology Training Routines, Scientology Sauna Purification Rundown, and many weeks in Scientology Auditing Sessions. The patient is brain washed, coerced into writing success stories, and put through Auditing Sessions until what the Course Room Supervisor explained to me was a state of “cracked” obtained from the patient. Later I viewed a small Scientology hand book that was stored in the locked file cabinet where the Patient Case Files were stored in the Objectives Auditing Room. This book indicated what to look for in a Patient being in a Scientology Auditing Session at Narconon.
