Treatment Center Approach
Depending upon your insurance coverage, many of the centers in the mid and high range may become affordable. You can contact the customer service department at your insurance company and check your covered benefits. In-network benefits can be as high as 80 - 100%, out of network benefits are often 50%. Although each residential treatment center operates under different philosophies, certain general approaches are likely to be found in most. Among those are:

* Detoxification
* Use of Suboxone as treatment
* Drug and alcohol education
* Relapse prevention
* Family program
* Individual and group counseling
* Twelve-step recovery
* Anger Management
* Dual Diagnosis Education
* Self Harm Reduction
* Community Re-Integration

Alcoholism and Addiction- Is AA the Only Way?

Alcoholics Anonymous’ history began with Temperance movements in the mid-1800s. Several self-admitted drunks founded the movement in a tavern in Baltimore, Maryland. The movement for alcoholics grew in leaps and bounds. It opened to everyone to such proportions, forgetting what the original intentions were and began to disappear.

In the 1940s, AA accounted for 50% not drinking again, 25 remained sober and 25 not known. One meeting every year, no retreats, conventions or treatment centers, yet the recovery process was a fruitful one. There wasn’t even the 12 Steps until 1938.

Nowadays, online recovery resources and meetings on alcoholism, substance abuse and drinking problems are now available in the Internet. We have the Sober Sources Network that links several other recovery communities regardless of the faith and links for those that are not just faced with problems of addiction, but also other mental health disorders.
