Narconon Is "The Bridge to The Bridge"
In the early days of Narconon, before Scientology became more careful
about masking its recruitment efforts, church members were told that
Narconon was "the bridge to The Bridge", the latter being
Scientology's intensely marketed and very expensive "Bridge to Total
Freedom". The flyer below, dating from circa 1974, makes this
explicit.
In recent times members are still being told that Narconon is the
bridge to The Bridge, but now the Church of Scientology is careful not
to put this in writing. There's no telling where such an admission
might end up -- someone might put it on the Internet.

The following document from 1984 shows how Narconon processing
prepares people to enter Scientology. The topmost step of the
flowchart says "route to nearest org [Scientology church] for further
services if individual so desires".
