Claude Lapointe talks about his Cocaine problem and his solution. Claude Lapointe played for the Quebec Nordiques, Colorado Avalanche, Calgary Flames, New York Islanders, and Philadelphia Flyers. He was drafted by the Nordiques in the 12th round of the 1988 NHL Draft, he spent most of his NHL career with the New York Islanders until he got in trouble with depression and drugs. Claude is now substance abuse free and would like to carry that message throughout Canada. Claude’s solution was Narconon. Narconon founded by William Benitez who, as an inmate of Arizona State Prison in 1966, came upon a book in the prison library by American author L. Ron Hubbard, and after reading this book and applying the principles it contained on increasing one’s abilities, he and dozens of other inmates were able to permanently end their addictions to heroin. The Narconon program has evolved from that simple beginning to a worldwide network of over 120 drug prevention and drug-free social education rehabilitation centers. Through the tireless work of dedicated staff and volunteers, we have rehabilitated tens of thousands of addicts and brought the truth about drugs to millions of individuals.
