G. Patrick Thorne is built on the belief that creative success can accomplish more than creating books, art, and ideas.
It can also create resources—time, attention, influence, and financial support—that can be directed toward improving conditions in people's lives and communities.
That commitment did not begin with G. Patrick Thorne. It grows from years of personal involvement in efforts aimed at helping people overcome addiction, preventing drug abuse, strengthening communities, and supporting programs intended to improve lives.
As G. Patrick Thorne grows, so can that contribution.

A Letter From a Graduate
“At first I was skeptical, but when I arrived I was skeptical about who tied my shoelaces. One thing I knew though was I came to get back the most important part of me... ME. I wanted ME, my family wanted ME, my friends, real friends, wanted ME.
Before arriving I was mentally and physically failing. I was fighting with my wife regularly, on the verge of losing my 5th job in a year, my home was a disgrace and the funny part is that I was numb to it all. I came to Narconon Arrowhead to get ME back.
The program was no walk in the park, I won't lie, every step was effective though. I started in Withdraw with 24/7 assistance until I was able to take the next steps of the program. Next was New Life Detox and man that was something, at the end my mind and body felt CLEAN.
Then I went into some real world drills that made me aware of my environment like I have never had and finally some classes to prepare myself for going back out into life — but with a stronger back bone for handling anything I may run into.”
