Addiction Treatment Alternatives |
|
There are addiction treatment alternatives available throughout the United States. In other words, there are traditional treatment programs based on a philosophy developed in the 30s called alcoholics anonymous and the subsequent narcotics anonymous along with the AMA rubber stamped dual diagnosis treatment of addiction whereby a person is deemed to have a dual existing condition, a mental disorder and an addiction as a result. There is also a disease model whereby the individual is locked into a deadly dwindling spiral of genetic inheritance and is and always will be an addict. With success rates of an average 1 to 10 percent recovery, these explanations and marketing of addiction and it’s treatment leave amazing amounts of options desirable.
If something works then use that; if it doesn’t seek an alternative.
This makes more sense than ever when your discussing a person’s ability
to live or die based on finding a solution.
There are alternative type drug and alcohol recovery programs available
in different parts of the country. Programs that are in some cases
nutritionally based, holistic in nature, extremely comprehensive and
which offer success rates from 40 to 80 percent. While these programs
may not be the most promoted remedies to addiction by the vested
interest of the treatment industry, they are available, certified by
state and federal agencies and can help a person recover from
addiction. The programs too vary according to size, quality, location,
staffing, overall average effectiveness and other basic decisional
criteria so it is wise to get an expert to guide you through the
choices until you are certain you have made the one choice that might
save the person you love.
If you or someone you love needs drug and alcohol rehabilitation and
would like to investigate alternatives in addiction treatment then call
us today.
