Michael from Muckrock sez, "Scientology-linked Narcanon (not to be confused with Narcotics Anonymous) has a murky history of putting vitamins and exercise over science and medical detox practices."
That prioritization might have lead to deaths of patients in Narcanon's care. At the group's Arrowhead location, in Oklahoma, when a body was found, rather than administering emergency care, "staff members would gather around the body and chant for the spirit to get back in the body."
The files on these incidents were the result of a FOIA request filed on MuckRock.
