Well, I have read a lot on Narconon Stone Hawk and I thought that us Arrowhead guys and gals should have a place to share our experiences. When I was at Arrowhead, I don't even thing Stone Hawk was on the Narconon map.

So this is the place for anyone who has experienced Narconon Arrowhead to share their experience. You can rest assure that when I have more time I will do so.

I wanted everyone to know that after reading this website and several other accounts we removed our son from the Narconon Arrowhead facility after 8 days. We took him straight from the Oklahoma facility to a legitimate rehab facility. Thanks to everyone that posted here. My son had just gotten out of detox the previous night so apparently didn't witness too much of the craziness. I also noticed that most of the accounts are directed at the Michigan facility and I am very curious to know if the same types of problems occur at the Oklahoma facility. Also, is there any chance we will ever receive a refund.

I am almost certain that my Father got a refund from Narconon. The refund must be requested in writing as soon as possible. Certianly you don't have to pay for a service that you never received. If they refuse to give a refund... I would hire an attorney. Good luck with everything and trust that you made the right decision. I spent nearly a year in and out of Arrowhead... and it is the same bullshit that all the other Narconon faciliteis offer. Nothing of any real substance and no options for continuing care or support. The only reason why I stayed there was because I had no where else to go. This seems to be the case with several others. Also, there were sone hardcore criminals that were completeing the program to recieve reduced sentences. Why the courts would allow something like this to happen at a Narconon facility is beyond me. Obviously they haven't done their research.

So keep in mind not to be too hard on yourself or your child. Narconon is wrapped up in a pretty box... but the service is worthless. Just my opinion though.

As filthy as Stonehawk in Battle Creek Mi was, it had to have been there a long time. Then again, if you are putting 150 "students" into a place that should have about 40--I guess it wouldn't take to long to have it look like a slum.

I guess I was lucky because Arrowhead was a pretty nice facility. Stone Hawk sounds like a dump though.??

The only good thing about Arrowhead was the old man and wife (Scientologists) that ran the kitchen. That old man could cook some ribs!!

mr.mac

I agree that Stone Hawk sounds really bad. Arrowhead was a bit nicer. As for the food, I don't remember eating ribs, but I must have been eating pretty well because I put on 20 lbs.

My daughter was just at Arrowhead. She was "dumped" at the Tulsa airport at 11:00pm with no tickets, no money, and in the company of 2 guys who brought drugs to the facility. I have not heard from her (since June 24th, 2007)... and Arrowhead staff have "washed their hands"... Here is an editorial letter I wrote to many newspapers, hoping someone will publish it:
Dear Editor, the following is a letter or editorial that I would like to see published in order to make the public aware of the misdoings of Narconon Arrowhead, a drug rehabilitation facility that many have named as a front organization for the Church of Scientology (which they vehemently deny). My daughter is in grave danger because of the organization's careless behavior. This information must be made public!
I thank you in advance for your consideration. Please contact me if you need further information.
Where is my daughter?
The statistics on drug abuse are frightening: An estimated 19.7 million Americans are illicit drug users (SAMHSA, 2005) in the United States. My daughter is one of those who succumbed to this vicious disease.
Imagine you are presented with the hope of a permanent cure to addiction! An idyllic place located by a beautiful lake within a national park in Canadian, Oklahoma. A place where “cure” rates are above 70%, achieved by a different type of treatment involving saunas, vitamins, nutrition and life-changing courses…These are the claims made by Narconon Arrowhead. This is the place where we sent our daughter, right after celebrating her 24th birthday; a place where she could get her life back in order, finish nursing school, and become a productive member of society. What else could a parent want for their child?
But Narconon Arrowhead proved to be the opposite of what they promised to be. On Sunday, June 24th, we received a call from a “family consultant” at the facility, to inform us that our daughter was progressing wonderfully after 10 days of treatment. An hour later, we received a call from Narconon’s Ethics department (security) to inform us that our daughter had tested positive for drug use, and that she posed a “security risk” and would have to leave the facility. Since the facility provides in-house treatment, and the “students” are not allowed to leave under any circumstance, we questioned how the drugs were obtained, and were told that someone had “smuggled” them in through the mail and offered them to half-dozen people, my daughter included. Thus our ordeal began.
The admission’s representative (salesmen) whom we spoke to on numerous occasions prior to trusting our daughter to their care, promised that she would be safe, that she would get the help she needed, that she would be protected. He told us that each “student” is treated as an individual, by concerned, caring staff members. Where were those people on June 24th?
The “Ethics” department sent my daughter in a transport vehicle, late at night, accompanied by two male “students” (one of which was the person who introduced the drugs to the facility) for the one and a half hour drive to Tulsa airport while we begged and pleaded with one of the “senior counselors” to return her to the facility so that we could make travel arrangements for the morning. There were no flights out to Florida at that hour, and my daughter had no money, no phone, and no other recourses. Instead, she was left at the airport with the two men, a young girl, alone in a strange town. She promised to call when she arrived at the airport, she never did. We have not heard from her since. The Tulsa PD is investigating her disappearance, and no one knows her fate.
Now I ask the staff of Narconon Arrowhead: Where is my daughter? What have you done to her? The answers rest on your conscience.
Parents: Beware of the false promises made by institutions such as these. Our children may make mistakes, but they deserve a chance to live!

:o Wow... another case of "Narconon dumping". You know... I understand that clients who use in the facility and/or who break the rules on this level should be asked to leave (and really I'm not 100% sure that this is the best option), but this procedure that Narconon adheres to with dropping people off at the airport/bus stop is unheard of!

God bless you! Have you heard anything from your daughter?
