Warning! No Insurance Reimbursement for Narconon

Narconon is not accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). Therefore, no health insurance provider will reimburse the $20,000 cost of a Narconon stay. This includes Blue Cross. If you paid this fee in advance based on Narconon's assurance that reimbursement can be obtained later, contact an attorney.


Narconon Harassing Its Neighbors:

Legal threats against Dr. Linda Orozco, a neighbor who has complained about Narconon's ongoing zoning violations and nuisance behavior:

These threats appear to violate the California anti-SLAPP law.

The Rich vs. the Addicts, Orange County Weekly (Dec. 10, 2004), includes a picture of Linda Orozco and details of the troubles Narconon is causing for the neighborhood.

Narconon Sending Ex-Drug Addicts into the Schools:

Narconon of Southern California (Newport Beach) sent ex-drug addict Gerry Marshall into public schools to give kids L. Ron Hubbard's ideas about drugs.

Narconon collected letters from teachers where Marhsall spoke, and webbed them. Now they're trying to cover their tracks by expurgating the letters. They've replaced most names by initials, and removed some school names and dates. See for yourself:

Another interesting change they made was to replace the business name "Theta Art" with "Beautiful Artwork". (See the two versions of the June 12, 2002 letter from Wilson High School in East LA.) Why did they do this? "Theta" is a Scientology term, and "Theta Art" is a Scientology-affiliated business.
