Narconon is a controversial international drug rehabilitation program based on the philosophy and theories on drug addiction of L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer and founder of the Church of Scientology who appears to have been unqualified and ignorant of basic medical facts. Narconon's ties to Scientology are not readily available or disclosed to its clients who are making a decision on treatment for drug addiction at a vulnerable time in their lives. However, Scientologists are employed by the centers and its doctrines and organization are similar to Scientology.
Many critics claim that Narconon is simply a front group for Scientology with the purpose of making money and recruiting new members for Scientology and although Narconon is officially a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization it does charge for services.
