A request from the Department of Mental Health of Oklahoma has been made to notify those wishing to contact them about abuses at Narconon. They would like to inform the public that while they are sympathetic to those that believe they have been abused by Narconon, they need to limit calls to those directly regarding the Oklahoma location. They have been inundated with calls regarding abuses at other Narconon locations as well as Arrowhead. We need to keep their phone lines free for those trying to get through that were in fact at Arrowhead. They encourage those that went to other locations to contact that states regulatory agencies.

Narconon CEO: Facility pays recruiters to find patients

The CEO of Narconon Arrowhead told the Tulsa World last week the facility offers a "finder's fee" to find drug rehabilitation patients, which he said is a common practice among rehab facilities.

Narconon Arrowhead CEO Gary W. Smith said the facility pays finder's fees to about a dozen interventionists or "field representatives" on a regular basis.

"We're not the only program that does this," Smith said. "It's not an uncommon practice."

Drug addiction counselors and former students of Narconon also confirmed they make tens of thousands every year from finder's fees and more from interventions. All said a finder's fee has no bearing on where they recommend a drug addict go for rehab.

The facility is under investigation following three patient deaths there in less than a year.

An investigation of Narconon by the Tulsa World also found a network of more than 200 websites.
