YWCA Hires Program
Director for Northeast
Warns
of the Dangers
Constance G. Carley has been
selected as Program Director for the
newly-opened Northeast Center of
the YWCA of Portland, Executive
Director Sheryl M. Warren has
announced.
A graduate of Washington State
of Child drug
Abuse
by Richard Marks
Gary started on drugs when he was 10 years old.
He hid his drug dependency from his parents for more than five years.
By the time he reached high school, Gary was addicted to cocaine.
His parents did not know he was hooked on drugs, but his mother was be
ginning to suspect that something was very, very wrong.
When she found out, it was almost too late.
Gary's story is not an unusual one. By current statistics, 61 percent of
all American high school seniors have tried illegal drugs. All too often, the
parents of these students are either unable to recognize their children s
drug problem or unable to do anything effective to handle it.
Gary's mother found out about his drug problem after Gary began fail
ing in high school. His grades were poor, he skipped classes and some
times never bothered to attend at all.
At home, Gary went through mood s w in g s-u p one minute, down the
next. His schedule was erratic, money disappeared from around the house
and he wrecked his car.
These were all, however, symptoms of a much larger problem. Even
before he reached his senior year, Gary had tried every kind of drug he
could —marijuana, alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, LSD, peyote and
PCP. In his late teens, he turned to cocaine.
At first, he either snorted or injected the drug, but later he took to
using crack, a concentrated and highly addictive form of coke.
The need for drugs led to a need for money and Gary dropped out of
school to take a day job while trying to continue his education through ex
tension courses.
"I had a pretty good 8-to-5 job,” he says.
I d make about $400 a
week."
Of that, $350 a week went to buy drugs.
Gary's drug problem was by now too big to hide. His parents sus
pected the problem but didn't know what to do about it.
Through a friend, Gary's mother heard about Narconon, a detoxifica
tion, rehabilitation and education program based on the research and w ri
tings of author and educator L. Ron Hubbard.
Best known for his self-help bestseller, "Dianetics: The Modern
Science of Mental Health," Hubbard developed a drug handling and detoxi
fication method that is currently one of the most successful in the world.
It is the Hubbard Method that enables Narconon to not only help drug
users but to help their families and friends as well.
When his parents finally confronted Gary with the fact that he had a
University, Carley worked for
several years at Tektronix, and more
recently served as Director of Social
Services for Highland Community
Services.

"W hat do you want me to do?" he asked. "Q uit or split? If that s the
In Celebration of
choice, I'll split."
Later, he realized that he wanted to stop using drugs, and that he was
unable to do so on his own. His life was being controlled, in his words, by
the desire to "get another bag of dope."
Instead of leaving, he decided to take his parents' advises and get help.
"When I came to Narconon, I thought it was impossible for anyone to
get me off drugs," he says. "I was very wrong about this. The program I
went through was very effective in getting me off and helping me stay off
drugs.
"They not only got me off drugs but also helped me to learn that no
problem in life is too big or too bad to handle, he concludes.
Today, Gary is going back to school and planning a new future for him
self, a future that would not have been possible without Narconon and the
Hubbard Method.
Gary's mother is quick to note that it is also vitally important for
parents to recognize the warning signs of drug abuse before it becomes too
late.

"A s painful as it was to confront Gary's actual drug problem,
says, "It was nothing compared to the pain of avoiding it.'
