And once again, to help refute the "We're secular" claim by NarCONon, and the other Cof$ front groups, from the once secret Closing Agreement with the IRS: And yes, I know this only applies in the USofA. But it's useful elsewhere to point out their duplicity in other countries where they may claim to be 'secular' and 'independent' from the Cof$, when telling the IRS the exact opposite. Or to put it another way, is it a dessert or a floor wax?? BigBeard

/\ /\ /\ /\ /\ Inpatient detoxification: The inpatient setting offers the advantages of 24-hour medical care and supervision provided by a professional staff and the easy availability of treatment for serious complications. In addition, such a setting prevents persons served access to alcohol and/or other drugs and offers separation from the substance-using environment. Inpatient detoxification is often provided to individuals with co-occurring health conditions that would be impacted by the detoxification process. It is also appropriate for individuals who need extensive medical monitoring during detoxification.

I heard the Colin Henderson is going to NN arrowhead country this weekend, and maybe visit with some Canadian, OK and McAlester, OK city officials..........
CARF lists 3 types of detox programs: outpatient, social, inpatient. Narconon must be social because it isn't outpatient and it isn't an inpatient unit with full time doctors. http://www.carf.org/Programs/ProgramDescriptions/BH-Detoxification/Detoxification Detoxification programs provide support to the persons served during withdrawal from alcohol and/or other drugs. Services may be provided in a unit of a medical facility, in a freestanding residential or community-based setting, or in the home of the person served. The following types of detoxification may be provided: Outpatient detoxification: Persons served receiving outpatient detoxification treatment usually are expected to travel to a hospital or other treatment facility daily or on a regular basis for detoxification treatment sessions. Sessions may be scheduled for daytime or evening hours. Outpatient detoxification programs may also be combined with a day program. Outpatient detoxification programs may also include provision of medically-monitored medications used in the detoxification process. Social detoxification: Social detoxification is provided in an organized, residential, non-medical setting delivered by an appropriately trained staff that provides safe, 24-hour medication monitoring, observation, and support in a supervised environment for a person served to achieve initial recovery from the effects of alcohol and/or other drugs. Social detoxification is appropriate for individuals who are able to participate in the daily residential activities and is often used as a less restrictive, nonmedical alternative to inpatient detoxification. Inpatient detoxification: The inpatient setting offers the advantages of 24-hour medical care and supervision provided by a professional staff and the easy availability of treatment for serious complications. In addition, such a setting prevents persons served access to alcohol and/or other drugs and offers separation from the substance-using environment. Inpatient detoxification is often provided to individuals with co-occurring health conditions that would be impacted by the detoxification process. It is also appropriate for individuals who need extensive medical monitoring during detoxification.

Re: www.carf.org, the certifying agency for NN Arrowhead. I went to their website and clicked on the contact us page. Sent them a comment that NN Arrowhead, a facility that they certified and list on their referral page, has had 2 deaths on the premises in the last 6 months.
Kent McGreger!!!!!!!!! Narconon Arrowhead is accredited by CARF, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, a second-rate outfit that is in no way equivalent to JCAHO. No other Narconon facility is accredited by anyone. Narconon Arrowhead's accreditation by CARF was handled by William Kent McGregor, who later joined Narconon staff, and has had some interesting legal problems. Here's the docket from that case.
I called the Sheriff Department in GA that cover the Narconon there and they had no idea of what I was talking about. The detective that handles homicides never heard of Narconon. Could someone please Dox the location, news stiries Etc? I want to forward the recent findings in Canada to him.
could it be he just does not recognize the name "Narconon"? Maybe they go by another name? If not, then it is very interesting that they have no idea what you are talking about.
I gave him the address and he said they had nothing for that location. I really need dox, news stories Etc.
I don't have time to dig right nao because I am leaving for a couple of days... but this ling http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Narconon/nn-nam.htm has lots of stuff and prolly what you are looking for Isn't this the same location that Patrick Desmond died?
ODMHSAS, continues to certify Narconon Arrowhead after you denied them back on 13 December 1991: The Oklahoma State Board of Mental Health finds that Narconon's therapy is "not effective in the treatment of chemical dependency" and "is not medically safe". Yet, after this denial by ODMHSAS in 1991,Narconon was questionably accredited by CARF. Narconon (Chilocco) Arrowhead's accreditation by CARF was handled by William Kent McGregor, whom at the time was a surveyor for CARF. Way back in October 1995, Scientology PR staffer Andrew Milne posted about "Kent McGregor, a CARF evaluator and also former Single State Director for treatment and prevention in New Mexico. McGregor directed the entire planning, research, administration, and program implementation of New Mexico's substance abuse prevention and treatment authority" He cited McGregor as saying that he had surveyed Narconon's former Chilocco facility and was "very impressed with the professionalism of the Center . The Narconon program rates as highly in physical, administrative and clinical expertise as many of the prestigious programs that I have surveyed. In terms of outcomes, I believe it is far above". William Kent McGregor later joined the Narconon staff via Narconon's Science Advisory Board, and has had some interesting legal problems. Mr. McGregor works both for Narconon and CARF, which is supposed to be providing independent assessments of Narconon; and not only that, but he is the assessor! This is, in my view, enough by itself to discredit CARF's assessments of Narconon and ODMHSAS for recognizing CARF. CARF was not an independent organization. The board was made up of representatives of institutions who were accredited by CARF. Their rationale was that the people who ran the institutions being accredited were the best people to set the standards by which to judge institutions. That sounds downright incestuous to me. To quote Mr. McGregor "I have been a surveyor for the Commission for the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for ten years and I have helped over 70 organizations prepare their facilities for CARF accreditation." .To my knowledge Mr. McGregor is no longer a member of "Narconon's Science Advisory Board" because he has developed another organization called the PITA Group Inc. The PITA Training Center is licensed by Oklahoma Board of Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselors Approved Continuing Education Courses, the course that is endorsed by the State of Oklahoma is "Ethics: How Personal and Professional Ethics Apply to Counseling in the Office and Online". Scientology's Narconon Arrowhead, the PITA Group Inc, and the PITA Training Center are one in the same. The ODMHSAS should willfully open another investigation into the Narconon Arrowhead facility before you re-certify them on or before January 31st, 2012. I will be more than happy to help in any way that I can. One of the providers of courses for the state of Oklahoma continuing education for licensed drug and alcohol counselors.
On texas-drug-rehabs.org/pitagroup.php, he's referred to as "Mac McGregor". Gee, yet another name shift to avoid an awkward past...

Keep in mind that one of the plaintiff's attorney's ( J Antonio DelCampo, was originally a judge overseeing the case when it first began. He retired and then joined the plaintiff team Harris Penn Lowry DelCampo, LLP. and started helping the lead attorney on it. That says much about the strength of the case.
