Before founding Narconon of Georgia drug and alcohol rehab in 2001 I worked as a nurse and a business consultant to corporate executives. A late night encounter with a homeless girl at a Waffle House led to a fulltime effort to stop drug abuse. I took the girl into my home, learned that she was addicted to crack cocaine and eventually took her to a drug treatment center. Through this experience, I learned that there were not enough effective long term care substance abuse rehab programs to meet the growing need. Working in tandem with a Drug Court Judge, we piloted the feasibility of providing drug treatment instead of incarceration for addicted offender. When the pilot was successful, Narconon of Georgia was fully established to provide substance abuse treatment to all types of clients.
