Established in 1989, Narconon New Life Retreat is a non-profit treatment center located in Louisiana that offers a distinctive approach to addiction recovery. The center operates on the philosophy that addiction is not a lifelong disease but rather a condition that can be overcome completely. Their program features three key components: a drug-free withdrawal process, a specialized detoxification protocol called New Life Detoxification, and comprehensive life skills training designed to support long-term sobriety. The facility is licensed by Narconon International, an organization that promotes substance abuse treatment methodologies based on the teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Residents stay in shared accommodations within a spacious luxury cabin that houses up to 45 individuals, complete with large walk-in bathrooms featuring jacuzzi tubs. The campus includes numerous amenities to support recovery and wellbeing, including a recreation room with pool table and pinball machine, a fully-equipped gym with sauna and cardio equipment, an outdoor swimming pool, and comfortable outdoor gathering spaces. Narconon New Life Retreat follows a non-12-step, holistic, and religious-based treatment approach. Residents enjoy nutritious meals prepared by a private chef throughout the day. Recognizing the importance of family support in recovery, the center provides both in-person and phone counseling for family members, teaching them effective ways to support their loved one during treatment and beyond.
