Narconon Taiwan Celebrates 10 Year Anniversary
2011-06-09
LOS ANGELES, CA, June 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) Over ten years ago Hestia Lin wanted to do something about the drug addiction problem in her country. According to the National Institute on Health there have been a prevalent number of males in the country who are struggling with heroin and methamphetamine abuse issues in Taiwan. In addition, heroin and methamphetamine are the two most commonly abused drugs in the country.

Lin had seen the devastation that drug addiction had caused her country and after searching for solutions found the Narconon drug rehabilitation program. Narconon is a non-traditional treatment center that has been helping people since the 1960s and has an over 70% success rate for permanent sobriety from addiction.

Narconon Taiwan CelebrationHestia and another staff member arrived to the Oklahoma facility to receive training on the Narconon technology and returned to Taiwan and opened the first Narconon Taiwan residential center. The center was opened in quarters shared with a Buddhist temple, in collaboration with the Chinese Youth Buddhists Association Foundation.

Over the years, Narconon Taiwan grew and they obtained new facilities outside of Ji-An Township. Hundreds of addicts have completed the program in Taiwan and hundreds of thousands of children, parents and teachers have been educated on the truth about drugs.

On May 13, 2011, Narconon Taiwan celebrated their 10th anniversary of saving lives. Hundreds of guests, staff and graduates gathered together to celebrate. Also in attendance was the local Mayor, along with numerous people from the business community, coming from cities and towns throughout the region.

Narconon Taiwan Group ShotThe event began with a dance performance, followed by the story of Narconon Taiwan's beginning and the growth of the program over the years. Graduates then spoke of their wins and successes of achieving a drug-free life through the Narconon program.

"We are very proud of Lin and our Taiwanese center," says Clark Carr, President of Narconon International. "Knowing that there is a solution for people in the country that will get them off drugs is key to handling the drug problem in Taiwan."
