Narconon Macedonia Gathers Supporters and Neighbors to Celebrate Tenth Anniversary
(PRWEB) April 28, 2014 -- It was in April 2004 that Borce Mircevksi saw his hard work pay off, when the doors opened on his new Narconon drug rehabilitation facility outside Skopje, Macedonia. Now in April 2014, Mircevski gathered supporters, program graduates and friends and neighbors to celebrate ten years of offering this drug-free recovery method to those who had lost their way.
On a warm, sunny day, these Narconon friends shared stories of recovery, along with enjoying refreshments, an anniversary cake, music and, of course, speeches and recognitions.
Macedonia struggles with opiate and marijuana abuse and addiction. While Mircevski was an anti-drug agent in the city of Skopje, he wanted to help addicts by arresting drug dealers and traffickers, but finally realized that a different kind of help was also needed. It didn't help an addict just to throw him in jail.
Mircevski discovered the Narconon recovery technology in July 2003, an effective treatment method which was what he was looking for. He recognized that this program offered the improvements that would enable former addicts to build stable, sober lives. Nine months later, he opened his own drug recovery center, using the Narconon recovery model.
"Borce has shown himself to have strong conviction and the desire to help others," said Clark Carr, president of Narconon International in Los Angeles. "We are very proud of the dedication of Borce and his staff and of their expansion over the last ten years. We wish them the greatest success in future."
Mircevski has opened the only Narconon center located on the Balkan Peninsula. This area is one of the primary channels used to bring heroin and other drugs from Afghanistan and Asia to Europe. The primary drug being trafficked is heroin, which transits Turkey and then Macedonia, with the intended destination, in most cases, of Germany and the Netherlands.
Unfortunately, any time there are drugs in transit, there are always drug supplies available for local residents. Addiction statistics normally begin to rise when trafficking starts. This was the situation that Mircevski decided to help by opening Narconon Balkan.
