Non 12-Step Recovery, Alternative to Twelve-Step Programs in California

Detox and Rehabilitation within Non Twelve-Step Addiction Centers in California

The state of California is one of the few states where hundreds of different drug treatment resources are provided all throughout the state. Non twelve-step centers are very plentiful within the state, and in fact; the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website do list over 200 facilities, which offer non twelve-step approaches.

Why should families choose a non twelve-step program?

Families and addicts should look at these programs as there are very specific resources available to treat all types of addiction. Non conventional approaches, meaning non twelve-step programs, do offer holistic resources, behavioral programs, cognitive treatment, and pharmacological resources within detox programs. There are more options available for addicts, and better resources to handle more severe addictions.
