Non 12 Step Rehabs

3 Most Important Components For Successful Drug Rehab

There are a number of factors that have been proven to substantially increase the success rates of drug or alcohol rehab. While quite a bit could be written on the subject, the following three components are the most critical when researching and selecting a rehab program.

Try to Find Non Disease Model Treatment:
95% of all rehab programs in the United States use 12 step treatment; and with it the heavy indoctrination that the addiction is a lifelong, incurable disease. 12 step programs instill that the person is powerless and can only learn to 'cope' through life with their disease. None of that is true. Drug or alcohol abuse is a learned behavior and like anything else, with the right help, that can be changed. 12 step rehabs have a notoriously low success rate (less than 10%) because they tell patients that they cannot cure their addiction.

It makes little sense sending someone to a rehab that does not believe an addiction can be fully resolved. To discover recovery rates of 70% or higher, it requires finding a rehab treatment method that believes in getting to the root cause of the addiction (both physically and emotionally). Non 12 step drug rehab centers believe in true "rehabilitation" and have experience in treating the underlying reasons of addiction for a full recovery.

Steer Clear of Drug Replacement 'Therapy':
It is unfortunate, but more and more drug rehab centers have made drug replacement therapy a common part of treatment. From heroin to pain pills to alcohol to methamphetamine - it is now common to be given new drugs to replace those that the person is addicted to. The problem is that this almost never works to cure an addiction and instead, simply trades one addiction for another. Drug replacements and other medications designed to curb the urge to drink or use can be abused and have powerful side effects. Many report that coming off of them can be worse than coming off the original drug of choice.

To have an excellent quality of life post rehab it is strongly advised to find a drug rehab program that believes in getting a patient fully drug and alcohol free without replacement drugs. Nearly all non 12 step drug rehabs believe in being drug / alcohol free without drug replacement after rehab.

Long Term Rehab = Higher Success Rates:
28 day treatment is the most common schedule for rehabs in America today. This was likely adopted due to insurance companies most often paying for 'up to 30 days' of treatment. The problem is that 28 days is not nearly enough time for most to really get to the bottom of their addictions. For those coming off of drugs or alcohol, it can take weeks just to start to feel good enough to do any type of therapy and treatment. In many cases just as they are feeling well enough to really dig in and get work done the 28 days are up and they are being ushered out the door only to relapse shortly after being home again.

Non 12 step rehab programs do not use group therapy. Instead they use a one on one counseling method that requires a gradual approach to getting to the core of the addiction. This can take more time but fully resolves issues that have been causing a person to use drugs or alcohol. It's not uncommon to see 90 day drug rehab programs and even longer. Many believe long term non 12 step rehab treatment is a far better choice to get the full result from rehab - as opposed to shorter term low success rate treatment and with it a lifelong commitment to AA or NA meetings.

Additional Note Of Caution:
We strongly recommend against programs that use methods of aversion therapy (drugging or shocking someone into submission), hypnosis (which works to bypass ability to control thinking on that subject), rapid detox (coma induced detox), or 'new' chemical treatments that target brain function.
