              Individually Tailored Alcohol and Drug Treatment

              Picture
              Much of the drug and alcohol recovery community is oriented towards Alcoholics Anonymous / Narcotics Anonymous and other 12-Step programs.  Many people find the 12-step approach useful. However others find aspects of the approach unpalatable or at odds with their individual beliefs and values. If the 12 steps aren't working for you, or you find yourself unable or unwilling to adopt the 12-step philosophy as a whole, be aware that there are other scientifically validated approaches to addiction recovery.

              There is no need to adopt unwelcome philosophies or beliefs to recover from alcohol and drug addiction.  Addiction is at its heart a brain disease that can be understood and treated rationally and scientifically. If you're unsatisfied with the standard answers you've been given about addiction and recovery to date, I would be glad to speak with you about individualized approaches to overcoming problems with drugs and alcohol.
