Narconon Arrowhead – CARF Conflict of Interest – Corruption?

With the three recent Patient deaths at the Scientology Rehab center, Narconon Arrowhead in Oklahoma, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), continues to recognize Narconon Arrowhead for accredited services to the unwary and desperate public.

Following a lengthy investigation in Canada recently, the Quebec College of Physicians banned a Montreal physician from ever associating with Narconon again and the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services forced Narconon Trois-Rivieres to immediately shut down and remove all the patients – citing Narconon as a health risk and danger to patients. CARF on the other hand, even though there are three recent deaths at Narconon Arrowhead, continues to support and provide Narconon with Accreditation.

Narconon: Health Agency feared for the safety of the residents:

The subject of this complaint is how and why CARF accredited Narconon Arrowhead in the first place? On December 20, 1991, a state board denied certification for Narconon Arrowhead (formally Narconon Chilocco New Life Center), and gave the facility seven days to move out its patients. The Oklahoma Board of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services voted 6-0 to deny certification for Narconon Chilocco. Board member Stewart R. Beasley Jr. asked that 27 patients now at Narconon Chilocco be removed within seven days because the program is basically unsafe. Their well-being is at risk.



According to several credible websites, William Kent McGregor was the Surveyor employed by CARF for the Accreditation process of Narconon Arrowhead. Not only did McGregor have close family ties to Narconon Arrowhead, but following the Accreditation process, he was employed at the Scientology Rehab center.

Narconon Arrowhead’s accreditation by CARF was handled by William Kent McGregor:

When one examines the criteria set forth by CARF for a Rehab center to be accredited, it is clear that many issues have been covered over with a veil of ignorance and could easily be interrpreted as corruption or a conspiracy plot to circumvent the original and appropriate Oklahoma Board of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services denial of Government Certification. And what’s more important and of grave concern, is the recent patient deaths while in the care of Narconon Arrowhead.

FBI & Canada to Investigate Scientology Conspiracy Complaints

Scientology Under InvestigationEarly this week the FBI received a formal complaint against Scientology, citing several alleged crimes, including, but not limited to exploitation of a handicap, interstate deceptive telemarketing, misleading marketing practices, fraud, and conspiracy to commit fraud. This complaint followed on the heels of a recent report filed with the Canada Competition Bureau for similar alleged crimes over a twelve year period.

A recent FBI investigation named Operation Disconnect was a huge success, leading to over 300 arrests in the USA.

Once again, the FBI is facing an ominous adversary, the Church of Scientology and their Narconon rehab centers around the globe. Today’s complaint focussed on the USA – Canada connection and information submitted indicates how desperate and vulnerable addicts and their loved ones are scammed out of upwards of $30,000 each.

The hook in nearly every victim is the Cult’s promise of 70-90% success rate and they are convinced by a councelor over the phone that the Narconon treatment center is staffed by qualified medical professionals.

An unwary loved one searches the internet for treatment for their son or daughter and quickly finds a long list of referral websites that can offer immediate help to a center in a town or city close by. Many of these deceptive websites neglect to indicate the name of the treatment facility or the exact location. The victim is simply asked to fill in a request for help form and click send or just call the toll free number for immediate help.
A few minutes later and the desperate victims are talking to a Certified Chemical Dependency Councelor (CCDC). Little does the addict or loved one know that the person they are talking to is usually a recent Narconon Graduate who took a short Field Staff Member’s (FSM), Scientology course at Narconon and possess a Certificate printed at Narconon.
Similar to a used car salesman, the councelor “a price can’t be placed on a life” and they promise an unrealistic success rate with excellent medical care.

Narconon Trois-Rivieres in Quebec, recently closed because the Health Agency declared the patients were in imminent danger of harm or death, and the three recent patient deaths while in the care of Narconon Arrowhead, paint a clear picture that Narconon is a scam and governments from around the globe are taking notice and acting to protect their citizens from abuse and harm.



With Federal investigations in the USA and Canada concerning telemarketing and internet fraud, exploitation, deceptive marketing practices, and conspiracy to commit fraud, this criminally convicted Scientology organization could soon be facing the justice system once again.
More as the investigation unfolds.
