Is it linked to Scienctology? It may be called 'Narcanon'
Answers:
Narcotics Anonymous (or NA) is a 12 step program founded in 1947 and is the world's oldest and largest organization of its kind. NA is a non-profit Fellowship of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. They are not affiliated with any religion, and ask for no money. Anonymity is one of NA's most important traditions. The official NA UK website is: http://www.ukna.org/index.htm
Members of the public who are not involved with NA often refer to is as NarcAnon, but NA is not officially referred to as NarcAnon.
Due to misuse of the term NarcAnon, the Scientology Narconon program is often mistakenly confused with the real Narcotics Anonymous organization.
There is a difference between Narcotics Anonymous and Scientology's Narconon program. Among other differences, the Narcotics Anonymous program is free; the Scientology Narconon program is not. The Narconon program can be found here: http://www.narconon.org/
I have no experience of either NA or Narconon, but I have experience of AA, a 'sister' organisation of NA.
I would be weary of Narconon, if you want help with a drug addict, please get in touch with Narcotics Anonymous, either by the website: http://www.ukna.org/index.htm or by calling the helpline: 0845 3733366
