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.
