“ Do drugs control your life?  Your life.  Your community. No place for drugs.” 

This is the slogan of the UN Office campaign on Drugs and Crime.  The United Nations has proclaimed  June 26th as “The International Day against Drug abuse and Illicit Trafficking.”

While Narconon Drug Rehab Centers across the world work to bring attention to the fact that 200 million persons across the world are abusing drugs, Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia is working to bring the message home to its own citizens.
