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.
