The Narconon Program

20

Fresh Start uses the the Narconon “Treatment” Program. This program consists of two

21

22

components: (1) course materials consisting of eight books based on the works of L. Ron

23

Hubbard; and (2) a sauna and vitamin program known as the “New Life Detoxification Program.”

Each patient in the Narconon program receives exactly the same written materials.

42.

The courses in the Narconon program are largely self-taught by the patients.

According to manuals for administering the Narconon program, the Narconon program is

not to be mixed with any other treatment approaches.

Patients undergoing the Narconon program read about Scientology doctrines and

Consequently, persons undergoing the Narconon treatment program are directed not to go

The Narconon program contains no trauma counseling or counseling of any other type.

In a prior lawsuit, Dr. Louis A. Casal, an expert retained by Narconon International and

Q.

12

Have you looked at the Narconon literature on what Narconon contends the

benefits from the sauna are?

13

A. [Dr. Casal] Yes, I have.

Q.

15

16

A.

True.

17

Q.

But there’s no scientific basis that you can point to to support that contention, is

there, sir?

A.

You’re correct.

Q.

So when Narconon states that the sauna program detoxifies its students, you’re not

Dr. Casal, the medical expert retained by Narconon International in another lawsuit,

Okay. What are you relying on – well, let me ask you this; do you believe that 76

percent success ratio is accurate?

5

A. [Dr. Casal]. Mr. Harris, I’ll be honest with you, that’s a big number.

6

Q.

Yeah, it’s – it’s a real big number.

7

A.

It’s a big number.

8

Q.

And it’s completely inconsistent –

9

A.

I – I hope it’s true, but, I mean, I would need some convincing.


10
11

Q.

Okay. Do you have any idea where Narconon is getting the numbers that it’s using?

12

A.

You know, in the interest of time – I just didn’t have enough time to delve deeper

13

into those studies, Mr. Harris. And I – I would be happy to, but, no, I don’t have a clear

14

understanding of where that 70 – 70-something number came from, no, sir.

Church of Scientology. For example, a Narconon document titled the “Narconon Technical Line-

24

document shows that when a patient finishes the Narconon program, the patient is to be “route[d]

At Fresh Start’s headquarters in Glendale, California, hangs a plaque received from ABLE

Hubbard and “The Bridge.” The writing on the plaque provides, in relevant part:

11

Larry and his dynamic team at Narconon Fresh Start are hereby
warmly thanked and highly commended for their dedication and
hard work. They give us tremendous back up in introducing LRH to
the world and are saving lives on a daily basis. There are thousands
of beings who have taken their first steps on The Bridge, thanks to

Scientology’s own marketing documents show that the Narconon program is part of

Scientology’s plan to “clear “civilization. (To “go clear” is the ultimate spiritual goal for a
Scientologist, achieved after one goes up the “Bridge to Total Freedom.”) The document attached
hereto as Exhibit F, shows a Church of Scientology, or an “Org” as it’s known, with an arrow
directed at the Narconon “Jumping Man” logo. The document reads:

21

25

The question is not how to clear an individual, it’s how to clear a
civilization … by making every one of our orgs a central
organization responsible for every sector of Scientology activities
across it’s [sic] entire geographic zone.
In other words, the Church of Scientology is supposed to direct Narconon to achieve Scientology’s
spiritual goal of “clearing” civilization.

Fresh Start is using the Narconon program to introduce Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard’s

“technology” to unwitting patients seeking drug rehabilitation. This is exactly as the Church of
Scientology directed as part of its “Social Coordination Strategy.” Scientology explicitly outlined
this strategy in an urgent Executive Directive from the Authorization, Verification, and Correction
Department of its Religious Technology Center. The Executive Directive outlining the “Social
Coordination Strategy” is attached hereto as Exhibit G (hereafter the “SOCO Directive”).

61.

The SOCO Directive instructed all SOCO GROUPS, which includes Narconon, as

follows:

14

YOU ARE THERE TO SELL LRH’s TECH TO THE SOCIETY
AND GET IT USED, AS THE TECH. You do this through a
SMOOTH JOB OF PROMTIONAL ORGANIZATION – FRONT
GROUPS, CORPORATIONS, FIELD WORKERS, ETC.
(emphases in original).

The SOCO Directive expressly directed using front groups to introduce L. Ron Hubbard’s

“technology,” i.e., Scientology to society.

NI, Western, and ABLE Control Narconon Fresh Start

2

63.

Plaintiffs incorporate by reference, as if fully set forth herein, each and every allegation set

3

forth in the preceding paragraphs and further alleges as follows:
4

64.

Defendant Narconon Fresh Start has all appearances of being a corporate sham illusion and

5

mere instrumentality of Defendants NI, ABLE, and Western
6

65.

ABLE, NI and Western heavily influence Narconon Fresh Start and govern and control

7

nearly every aspect of Narconon Fresh Start’s business activities.
8

66.

NI publishes manuals that individual Narconon Centers such as Fresh Start d/b/a Sunshine

9

Summit Lodge are required to follow in operating the individual Narconon center. Two of these
10

manuals are entitled “Opening A Successful Narconon Center” and “Running An Effective
11

Narconon Center.”
12

67.

These manuals indicate that an individual Narconon center can do very little without the

13

approval of NI, Western, and ABLE.
14

68.

Narconon Fresh Start cannot transfer, demote, or dismiss a permanent staff member

15

without the approval of NI.
16

69.

NI, Western, and ABLE have ultimate authority over the hiring of any Fresh Start staff

17

member. If a Narconon Fresh Start staff member does not meet the qualifications of a staff
18
19
20

member, the staff member may petition the Senior Director of Administration at NI to remain on
staff. 

21

70.

22

materials that make it hard or impossible for her to do her job, she may file a “Job Endangerment

23

Chit” with the Ethics Department at NI. NI and Western then investigate and work to resolve the

24

staff member’s issue. 

If a staff member at Narconon Fresh Start believes she has been given orders or denied

25
11

Case 2:15-cv-00872-JCM-VCF Document 1 Filed 05/08/15 Page 12 of 16
72.

The operations manuals require staff members at Narconon Fresh Start to report

1
2
3
4
5

misconduct and “nonoptimum conduct’ to the Quality Control Supervisor at NI. NI and Western
investigate misconduct at Narconon Fresh Start and may take disciplinary actions against its staff
members. 
73.

Western receives ten percent of the weekly gross income from Narconon Fresh Start. 

74.

NI requires Narconon Fresh Start to send it detailed weekly reports containing statistics of

6

more than 40 different metrics. NI and Western review these weekly reports and order changes at
7

Narconon Fresh Start based on increases or decreases in the statistics in the reports. 
8

75.

NI, Western, and ABLE require that Narconon Fresh Start receive approval on all

9

promotional materials before Fresh Start disseminates them. Further, Fresh Start must obtain
10

approval as to its Internet websites from NI, Western, and ABLE before the sites “go live.” 
11

76.

NI, Western and ABLE also assist in creating Narconon Fresh Start’s advertising

12

materials. NI, Western and ABLE dictate the contents of those advertising materials.
13

Narconon International and ABLE monitor the delivery of the “treatment” that Fresh Start
14

provides. The written materials in the Narconon program consist of the writings and works of L.
15

Ron Hubbard. Narconon and Scientology refer to these materials as “technology” or “tech.”
16

77.

NI requires that Narconon Fresh Start maintain a “building account fund” in which weekly

17

monies from the gross income are used to purchase new premises and also as a cushion to salvage
18

the organization in dire circumstances. The “building fund” is under the control of NI. 
19

78.

NI, Western and ABLE conduct “tech inspections” at Narconon Fresh Start. These

20

inspections entail NI, Western, and ABLE monitoring and correcting the manner in which
21

Narconon Fresh Start delivers the Narconon treatment program to patients at Fresh Start. NI,
22

Western, and ABLE instruct staff at Fresh Start as to the exact manner in which they are to
23

perform their services and deliver the Narconon treatment program.

25
12

Case 2:15-cv-00872-JCM-VCF Document 1 Filed 05/08/15 Page 13 of 16

79.

NI and ABLE also publish all training materials for Narconon Fresh Start. This includes

2

seven different training materials on subjects ranging from the Narconon sauna program to

3

overseeing to delivering the Narconon treatment program. 

4

80.

good photos of L. Ron Hubbard visible in every center and that materials are available to students

legal problems, including patient requests for refunds and complaints to the Better Business

NI, Western, and ABLE are intimately involved in the day-to-day operations of Narconon
