Non 12 Step Rehab Vs. Traditional 12 Steps

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

When is a person is desperate for help, and needs to find an effective rehab program immediately, where should they turn? What type of alcohol and drug rehab should they choose? We will discuss the different types of treatment programs available for people. There are basically two different types of rehab, traditional treatment that offers the 12 steps, and an alternative treatment program called a non 12 step rehab.

Traditional treatment programs that use the 12 steps have a much lower success rate. The highest 12 step rehab is about a 5 percent success rate, in which many don’t even have a success rate because all they do is replace one drug for the other. One you replace one drug for the other the person is still addicted to drugs and then ends up becoming addicted to more. This is one of the worst things a person can do in a drug rehab center.

The non 12 step drug rehab centers offer a more common sense approach to addiction. They help a person realize why they first started abusing drugs and alcohol in the first place. Most of the non 12 step rehabs also offer a biophysical drug rehab program well. The biophysical treatment naturally detoxifies the body to remove drug residues from the tissues to eliminate cravings for the drugs. With the biophysical treatment and cognitive counseling, the non 12 step rehabs offer one of the most effective treatment programs in the nation.
