NEWPORT'S 'DIRTY HANDS'
After hundreds of complaints and public testimony by residents citing Narconon's blatent over-occupancy in violation of their 27 occupany limit; what did Newport officials do? The DOUBLED Narconon's occupancy from 27 to 49!! YES, 49 total people in a triplex with only 3 off street parking spaces! This doubling of occupancy VIOLATED THE CITY ZONING CODE! Guess the city zoning code doesn't apply if you are RICH in Newport!
TOTAL OCCUPANCY' INSANITY
Newport 'Narconon' Occupancy = 49 persons on a 30' by 105' lot San Diego "Narconon' Occupancy = 45 persons on THIRTY ACRES!!!
Narconon in Newport is allowed 49 persons on a property 30 feet wide, and 105 feet long. This is a VERY small area, with neighbors only 6 feet away! See picture of this triplex building above. Compare that occupancy with the Narconon site in San Diego. Narconon-Warner Springs is restricted to a total of 45 persons on 30 acres of property! THIRTY ACRES!!! What is Newport thinking by allowing 49 persons in a lot only 30' by 105'?? INSANITY, you bet! Newport City corruption and 'conflict of interest"? You be the judge. Read details...
OVER-OCCUPANCY VIDEO <<click here then wait a moment
Over three dozen on the property (when the limit was 27 by the city Fire Marshall). And think of the number of people still IN the property, not on the roof!
MORE 'NON-RESIDENT' ADDICTS IN DURING THE DAY!
One of the more egregious violations by these facilities is their efforts to double, triple or even quadruple their licensed occupancy. They ‘transport’ addicts from apartments or motels in other locations, to these state-licensed rehab properties for ‘treatment’ during the day- only. See video and Read more...

NARCONON THROWN OUT OF ALL CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS! While the city of Newport DOUBLED Narconon's occupancy from 27 to 49 in 2005, Calif. State Superintendent of Public Instructions throws them out of k-12 schools. State Supt. O'Connell notified all district and county superintendents that Narconon education's program "... is often inconsistent with research-based practice" and "... does not reflect accurate, widely-accepted medical and scientific evidence." See Supt. O'Connell's letter: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/at/narcononcvrltr.asp Read full report: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/at/narcononevaluation.asp
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION has declared unanimous support for school districts that have dropped Narconon and other "factually inaccurate approaches" to antidrug instruction from their classrooms, and urged the American Medical Association to do the same!
SCIENTOLOGY HARASSES THEIR CRITICS - ABC NEWS reports how Scientologists target and harass their critics. Little wonder, Dr. Orozco received a death threat in 2004. And she has received several written threats of legal action by Narconon attorneys if she continues to exercise her legal right to speak out against Narconon and other rehab operators. ABC News verified Scientologists attack their critics. See a short but disturbing video from ABC News: http://www. youtube.com/watch?v=AdUzINnm0qA
FORMER US SURGEON GENERAL WARNS AGAINST NARCONON - "My recommendation about detoxification is to keep away from it. It's dangerous. I don't think L. Ron Hubbard has credibility in the scientific world. The author's suggestions about detoxification can be detrimental to your health."
