NDAFW's mission is to enhance decision-making skills among youth, promoting healthy coping mechanisms and the normalization of seeking help for struggles with addiction. Narconon's approach emphasizes the power of education in preventing addiction by making informed choices and seeking help when required.

Narconon Suncoast focuses on a drug-free withdrawal program combined with holistic and educational strategies for a drug-free life. It aims to address addiction's root causes and equip patients with practical life skills for sustainable recovery. The organization also participates in community events and utilizes social media to spread awareness about the effects of substance abuse.
