Oklahoma- The holidays are about help, and support; especially for those struggling with addiction. When one drug rehab opened its doors nearly forty-four years ago they carried this message, not only through rehabilitation but community prevention and action. Drug addiction affects more than 22 million people nationwide and although the key lies in rehabilitation, prevention is what will stop those from getting addicted in the first place.
On December 10th, employees from Narconon Arrowhead, one of the largest and most successful rehabilitation centers in the world went around McAlester and delivered food to those needing assistance this holiday season and showing support while delivering a drug free message.
“We were able to contribute to the well being of individual’s in our community,” said Danna Sue Pruett, Director of Field Activities at Narconon Arrowhead, “Through donations we were able to donate food, diapers, and hygiene items to the community.”
Pruett and Michael Ginsburg, from the Narconon Public Relations area, delivered twenty five bags to the McAlester Child Protective Services. These items will go to helping children who have been taken into protective custody and several foster homes in the McAlester area.
“It was so nice to be able to help others and give back to the community during the holiday season,” says Ginsburg, “That is really what Narconon is about, helping others.”
Twenty five bags were also delivered to the Deep Fork Community Action which helps families that have been turned down for food stamps, families that are struggling financially, and the elderly. In addition, Narconon also delivered contributions to The Hope House of McAlester.
“All of these centers were very appreciative for the help,” says Pruett “Narconon is always looking for an opportunity to help the families in our community.”
Narconon works not only to help the people in their community, but they also work daily to help the people around the world struggling with drug addiction through their rehabilitation program.
