Renovation Underway At Chilocco Indian School
NEWKIRK, - Renovations have begun on buildings at nearby Chilocco Indian
School, according to Simon Hogarth, a representative of the Association for
Better Living and Education (ABLE
®) which owns
Narconon
®, the proposed
drug rehabilitation center to be located on the grounds.
A press release issued Monday by Hogarth said that Narconon has obtained a
Certificate of Need from the Oklahoma State Planning Commission to
establish a 75-bed facility at Chilocco for drug and alcohol abusers.
The center is currently employing 25 people and now has one local
volunteer. Edna Fulton, the Executive Director, is from Los Angeles,
California. Mr. and Mrs. Jamie Culleeney recently arrived with their two
children from Glendale, California. Mr. Jim Davidson is from Bristol,
Virginia. The volunteer was not named.
Sixteen local residents are employed on the renovation crew and five local
residents are working in the office and are beginning on the job training,
according to the release.
"We have been working closely with the Native American Leaders at the
Chilocco Development Authority," Miss Fulton said, "and look forward to
bringing back life to the Chilocco facility."
According to it's promoters, "The Narconon program, which has proven
successful throughout the world, utilizes the drug rehabilitation
technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard, philosopher, humanitarian and one
of the most acclaimed and widely read authors of all time."
The release continues, "Narconon's program is a completely drug-free method
of helping abusers to kick the habit. It combines a regimen of vitamins
with the use of sauna and exercise, which enables an individual to rid his
body of toxic drug residues. The program not only safely gets a person off
drugs, but eliminates the adverse effects of drugs that continue long after
such substances have been ingested."
Narconon's release continues, "The Chilocco program will service people
from all over the United States who wish to free themselves from the
debilitating consequences of drug and alcohol abuse."
Miss Fulton predicts the renovations will cost in excess of $1 million and
the program plans to provide more jobs for local residents. Visitors are
invited to tour the grounds during daylight hours, seven days a week.
Opening of the facility is now scheduled for September, according to
Hogarth.
