I’m sure there has to be one or something like a support group that you can go to. Try calling your towns social services department and they should be able to help you. Support groups can be very helpful because everyone is on the same boat.

Michigan Corrections Department psychologist John Hand called Narconon “so misleading as to be termed a ‘con.’” Hand said, “They are phony, a front for the ‘Church’ of Scientology. We found out in Michigan that most of the money that we were paying Narconon was laundered back into the ‘Church’ of Scientology.” In the wake of the revelations, a 1980 prison study concluded that “graduates of the Narconon program do not do as well as our [prison] population in general.” Funding for the Narconon program in the prison system was terminated.
