Looking for an alternative to 12-step drug rehab programs?
The truth of the matter is that the fundamental basics of the 12 step approach is inherently good and well-meaning. The problem today is very different from 1936 though when it was founded. First of all there is a whole new array of drugs, and many addicts are poly-substance abusers, not just alcoholics. These drugs have very real physical effects on a person, including cravings and lingering residuals that can cloud the mind. Another problem is that more and more drug rehab programs are trying to treat the symptoms of addiction with more drugs by prescribing one medication or another. This is despite the irrationality of giving someone who is already dependent on a chemical to get through the day yet another chemical to try and get through the day. There is also the fact that prescription drug addiction is the highest it has ever been and that many of these medications also have a very long list of potential side effects.

How do biophysical drug rehab programs compare in terms of overall success?
A successful long-term recovery can depend on many factors. Biophysical drug rehab centers help handle one of the biggest reasons for relapses right away, which is the physical effects of the drugs and the the stored toxic residues. Immediately that gives it an edge over any 12-step program from that one factor. Another major factor is that it is drug-free, so the addict won't walk out with a prescription for more drugs. Time also plays an important role. Most traditional rehab programs are only about a month long, which has very little history of working on a large scale, while biophysical programs are open-ended and generally take about 3-4 monts to complete. The final reason is in its philosophy that addiction can be overcome. Most 12-step programs believe that alcohol and other drug addiction is an incurable brain disease, but that is actually only a theory and a statement that has never been proven. On the contrary, people can and do permanently recover every day when they can begin to accept responsibility for their condition and learn to use tools to better their handling of life's problems.
