Another Stone Hawk Rip Off, Angry in Ohio

Filed under: Battle Creek, MI, Michigan, Narconon Stone Hawk, United States

Narconon Location: Narconon Stonehawk
Source: Narconon Victims Forum
Date of Complaint: June 22, 2007; July 9, 2007
Nature of Complaint: lack of adequate care and precautions, scheme to take money without providing services promised

Summary:

This person was initially overwhelmed by the cost of Narconon, but along with the promised 70% success rate, counseling, a “magic sauna treatment”, and a no drug detox, the 4-6 month stay seemed just like what the son needed. Once they agreed to have the son start the following week , they were pressured and told that if the son didn’t start immediately, he could relapse, or die. They were required to put down a $5,000 deposit to hold a bed. When they arrived at Narconon with the son, the family was taken into a locked room, shown the student rules, the contract, and informed that if the son left after 2 weeks, regardless of the reason, the cost would be $15,000, with an additional $1000 per day after the two week period. They were also required to deposit another $500 into an emergency medical account and some money in the son’s personal student account. They had a bad feeling about it at the time, but hoped that Narconon would be an answer to their prayers for the son. It only went downhill from there. Read the complaints for more.
