Phase III
This is perhaps the
most intensive phase of the Narconon program. Here we get the client to look at
their associations, past behaviors, what they have done to address these in the
past and how to address them and repair them now in the present. There are
four stages to this phase:
A.) The Ups and
Downs In Life Course
The lifestyle of a
drug addict is filled with negative associations and influences. These
perpetuate the addicts use of drugs and alcohol. This leads the addict to live
in congruence with and to participate in antisocial behaviors. The client here
learns to identify and avoid antisocial activities and people as well as
learning to identify the social personality and attune themselves with these
associations.
B.) The Personal
Values and Integrity Course
To survive as a
recovering addict one must learn a new way of life. Whereas the recovering
addict once had depended on lies, thievery, mayhem and distrust to survive,
they must reevaluate their moral condition and make some very necessary changes
in order to continue to stay off drugs and alcohol. This course teaches the
value of honesty, integrity and the basic moral principles that perpetuate the
goodness of society and differentiates basic right and wrong. Until the addict
can learn these they will be continually plagued by an inability to cope,
unhealthy relationships, hostility, instability and repeated failures in
life.
C.) The Changing
Conditions in Life Course
After the client
has evaluated their past behaviors, during this stage they begin to repair and
improve the conditions resultant from these. The client begins to prove to
themselves and others that they have within their ability to function as a
trustworthy and contributing member of society. They learn how one behavior
effects another and how one condition creates an effect that rolls through
every facet of their life.
D.) The Way To
Happiness Course
The addict here
learns to adhere and abide by twenty-one common points of morality prevalent in
all the world. Through the fog of addiction they have ceased to see the value
in living by a simple, common moral code of conduct. These points of morality
teach the client to become productive, secure and virtuous. As the client sees
the "why" of these morals they find that it is necessary to adhere to
them as best as possible in order to live a drug-free life.
