Non 12 Step Rehabs

Ninety-nine percent of all alcohol and drug treatment centers are based on the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. I see several problems with the 12 steps having such a monopoly on the rehab industry. First of all the 12 steps are an aftercare program, meaning they all about keeping people clean and sober. Even they admit they are there to "keep people sober, not get people sober". Non 12 step rehabs have evolved away into a better understanding of treatment. Treatment should be about therapy and teaching alcoholics and addicts about the problem.

Alcohol Rehabilitation Works

People often ask if alcohol rehabilitation really works. And the honest answer is yes, and no. Successful recovery from alcoholism is not easy. It requires a complete commitment to change your life around. The best way to begin the recovery process is a 30 day, or longer, stay in the best alcohol rehabilitation center you can afford. It is the easiest way to get 30 days of sobriety. And there is a lot to learn about how to live a sober lifestyle. Today, rehabs have become places to learn how to live healthier, happier lifestyles as well. Many of them now offer yoga, tai chi, exercise, art therapy, music therapy and meditation. The bottom line is an alcohol rehabilitation episode will be about as successful as the person is willing to make recovery, their number one priority.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Once a substance is used on more than regular or prescribed basis and alters a person's mood it is called substance abuse. A major public health problem of today, drug users are relying on these drugs to have "fun" and end up resulting with major medical problems. Substance abuse services are offered to help those suffering from drug abuse. Malibu Horizon offers a dual diagnosis rehab programs for those battling alcohol or substance abuse along with psychiatric condition. Co-occurring disorders are best overcome when treated together with a properly diagnosed treatment plan. The plan is tailored specific to the needs of the individual, also including a solid aftercare and relapse prevention program.
