Non 12 Step Rehabs

Achieving Higher Success With Non 12 Step Rehabs

It has become more widely known in the last 10 years that non 12 step drug rehab centers have exceptionally high success rates. The drawbacks to non 12 step rehab programs are that there are far fewer of them in the United States and that they can take longer than the traditional 28 day 12 step treatment. But regular success rates of 70% long term sobriety without relapse is common and some are even higher.

Experts believe this is due to a number of factors but the main points include:

1. Taking more time to get to underlying issues.
2. One on one approach as opposed to group therapy model.
3. Physical detox program included in some that lasts for weeks and eliminates all drug / alcohol residue to eliminate cravings.
4. Maybe the most important is that they do not instill in patient that they have a disease or are incurable in any way.

12 Step Rehabs Report Much Lower Success Rates

Depending on what you find, there are research papers, government medical sites and even rehab centers reporting success rates for 12 step treatment in the 3-10% range. This is considered the norm for 12 step rehab and it means more than 80% are not recovering.

Sadly, those listed as part of their success rates often INCLUDE those who relapse or change to another drug and sometimes will include those who still use but maybe 'not as much' as they did before. Non 12 step drug rehabs DO NOT consider that as part of a success rate at all.

For this reason many 12 step rehabs will not talk about success rates. The primary reason is that they do not believe success is attainable and the 12 steps prove this. They believe that addiction is disease based and incurable and therefore, they dismiss the idea of a success rate for long term or permanent recovery.

12 step rehabs are most commonly short term (28 days or less), include mostly if not all group therapy and have little physical care for the addiction beyond 3-5 days of medical detox. The reality is that curing any type of addiction in this manner will be unattainable for most.
