"I honestly believe that I was committing slow suicide," reflects the articu- late 31-year-old New Yorker who has been enrolled for the last five months in the Habad Resi- dential Drug Rehabilitation Treatment Program in Los Angeles. Henry began taking fior- inal at the age of 28 to com- bat migraine headaches under a doctor's prescrip- tion. He had never ex- perimented with any drug before, but in the three years following his initial prescription, he was in and out of detoxification units three times. At one point Henry was seeing 10 differ- ent doctors to get prescriptions for the drug he needed. During his third time in a "detox unit" his doctor suggested a program he had heard of on the west coast — a residential treatment program run by the Habad Lubavitch organization. The Habad Center is the only residential program in the world under Jewish au- spices to combat drug abuse. Dr. Stephen Bailey is the center's director. The programs' results have been phenomenal. Nearly 60 percent of those who enter the center are cured of the drug abuse, nearly three times the na- tional average for similar programs. Dr. Bailey hesi- tates to cite figures due to the complexity of following up on those who leave the program. "The majority of the cases that walk through the door are suffering from poly- drug abuse, that is a mix- ture of prescription drug abuses generally combined with the use of cocaine," said Dr. Bailey. Clients receive inten- sive individual and voca- tional counseling. Social interaction plays a big part in the therapy. "We _Naipaul Awarded Jerusalem Prize for Literature TEL AVIV (JTA) — V. S. Naipaul, the 51-year-old writer born in Trinidad of Indian Brahmin parentage and a long-time resident of Britain, will receive the 1983 Jerusalem Prize for literature, at the Jerusalem International Book Fair April 27. Among Naipaul's best- known works are, "An Area of Darkness" (1964) about his first confrontation with the India his grandfather left; and his novels, "In a Free State" (1971), "Guer- rillas" (1975), and "A Bend in the River" (1979). His latest book, "Among the Believers" (1981), is a critical look at Khomeinism and the increasing mili- tancy of Islam in other countries. are a therapeutic com- munity and everybody has to worry about the feedback from the next guy in here," said Dr. Bailey. "We can usually tell after about the first six weeks whether a person can ac- complish what is expected of him in this program and about a quarter of the people leave before the first six weeks are up," Dr. Bailey admits. "They some- times go to other programs which are less demanding." The center is non- sectarian and there have been some success stories with gentiles who have completed the program but applicants are told at the initial interview that the group sponsoring the center is a Jewish agency and that there is an element of the program that emphasizes Jewish cultural values. "There is nothing reli- gious that is imposed on anybody here," Dr. Bailey insists, although the facility itself does observe the Jewish sabbath. There are no organized activities that violate the Sabbath but the individual clients are free to do as they please in their rooms as long as they have respect for those who wish to observe. The Habad program is restricted to males and Dr. Bailey stresses that there is a need in Los Angeles for a women's facility but thus far the funds aren't available. Clients commit to the program for a minimum of nine months and the cost is $1,800 per month. Accord- ing to Dr. Bailey, nearly 70 percent of those admitted cannot afford the payments. The deficit is made up by private donations and some grants from the National Institute for Drug Abuse and other federal programs.
