Vad är NARCONON? : Synen på behandling inom ramen för en religiös ideologi

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this essay was to describe the opinions of different religious and non-religious ideologies and aspects of treatment, concerning use of drugs and drugsaddiction, and with a special focus at Narconon. We also wanted to try to understand the connection between professionalism and ideology in their treatment. Our central questions where; · How does the treatment Narconon's provides, look like? · What is Narconon's opinion on use of drugs and drugaddiction? · What is Narconon's connection to the Scientology? · Is there any scientific proof that Narconon's treatment is functioning? · How can we understand the connection between professionalism and ideology in treatment? We made intervjues with six social workers and six intervjues with staff at Narconon. Added to the intervjues, we studied articles and Internet research. From our work and through information we have got from Narconon, we have discovered the need of further research concerning their treatment. Narconon does continuous following-ups when the treatment is finished. To get insurance from different authorities, results must be evaluated by uninitiated judges, who are not bounded up with Narconon.
