Complaint against Narconon Freedom Center, April 22, 2013
This 70-year old complainant was rushed and kept distracted while signing papers late at night. She found that, despite being told there was no connection to scientology, that the program did indeed consist of scientology exercises, that the staff was medically unqualified in drug rehab, and that the sauna and vitamin portion of the program had been misrepresented to her. In addition, the length of stay which would allow her to get a refund were misrepresented until after the period of time had passed. She asked the Michigan Attorney General to help her get a partial refund.
