Scientology Network Launches Drug Prevention Marathon

The marathon highlights the work of volunteers who conduct drug education programs globally, aiming to provide youth with the facts necessary to make informed health decisions. Central to the broadcast is the series Voices for Humanity, which documents the efforts of individuals like Michael DeLeon and Oreste Depaoli. Both men leverage their personal histories of addiction and near-fatal overdose to fuel large-scale prevention campaigns, including Depaoli’s 1,500-mile motorcycle rally across Italy.

In addition to individual stories, the network’s schedule features public service announcements and the documentary The Truth About Drugs. This film examines the risks associated with a range of substances, from opioids to synthetic street drugs. The broadcast originates from the Church of Scientology’s media production center in Los Angeles, starting at 8:00 a.m. ET, and is available via satellite, cable, and digital streaming platforms.
