*'''Elevate Addiction Services''', a group of clinics formerly operating under the name Narconon of Northern California, broke away from Narconon in 2014/2015 after an arbitration where they agreed to no longer use the sauna and vitamin method or teach Narconon/Church of Scientology programs, and would no longer be licensed by Narconon. The name was changed to Halcyon Horizons and several other entities operating under the [[trade name]] of ''Elevate Addiction Services''.

Drug addicts are just one of the Scientologists' targets for recruitment. The offer of care and healing through techniques derived from [[Dianetics]] is only a come-on. The detoxification of the patient by means of "dianetics purification" is more a matter of manipulation, through the general weakening that it causes; it is a way of brainwashing the subject. Frequently convicted for illegal practice of medicine, violence, fraud and slander, the Scientologists have more and more trouble getting people to accept their techniques as effective health measures, as they like to claim. They recommend their purification processes to eliminate X-rays and nuclear radiation, and to treat goiter and warts, hypertension and psoriasis, hemorrhoids and myopia. . . why would anyone find that hard to swallow? Scientology has built a library of several hundreds of volumes of writings exalting the effects of purification, and its disciples spew propaganda based on irresponsible medical writings by doctors who are more interested in the support provided by Scientology than in their patients' well-being. On the other hand, responsible scientific reviews have long since "eliminated" dianetics and purification from the lists of therapies – relegating them to the great bazaar of medical fraud. ... Medical charlatans do not base their claims on scientific proof but, quite to the contrary, on peremptory assertions – the kind of assertions that they challenge when they come out of the mouths of those who defend "real" medicine. |url-access=registration }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Church of Scientology, Toronto|title=Scientology Anti-Drug Campaign: Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life|url=http://www.scientology.ca/community/drugs/index.html|access-date=7 October 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302065306/http://www.scientology.ca/community/drugs/index.html|archive-date=2 March 2012}}</ref>

Neither Scientology nor L Ron are mentioned. Just his Foundation for a Drug-Free World, the web address for which sits on the Scientology website. Everyone was fair game this weekend.
