EXPERIMENTAL DRUG REHABILITATION PROGRAM, BASED ON L. RON HUBBARD'S PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENTOLOGY, APPLIED TO YOUTHFUL OFFENDERS IN A CALIFORNIA CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION.

Abstract

PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WERE COMPARED TO A CONTROL GROUP OF RESIDENTS ON SCALES OF MISBEHAVIOR AND PROGRESS IN THE INSTITUTIONAL SCHOOL. RESULTS INDICATED THAT NARCONON HAD A POSITIVE AND BENEFICIAL EFFECT IN INCREASING THE SOCIALLY DESIRABLE BEHAVIOR OF ITS PARTICIPANTS, BOTH IN TRADE CLASSES AND IN THE LIVING UNITS.
