An alcohol rehab center that uses the 12 step approach is based on the premises that there is something wrong with the individual and they have a "disease" . These places inform their guests that they will need to be "treated" for the rest of their lives, which includes going to meetings and sometimes medicating them.
An alcohol rehab that use the freedom model uses a very different approach, based on research, which shows the individuals how it was a choice they made to start abusing alcohol and how it must be a choice by them to stop as well. This approach is a relatively new idea and The Retreats is the only program in the United States to use this approach and have helped thousands of people overcoming substance use.
Did You Know?
According to a recent research performed by the Substance Abuse and Health Services Association, in the State of Oklahoma for the year 2004 there were 97,000 individuals with an Alcohol Dependency, in the state of Oklahoma, surprisingly needing but not receiving treatment for Alcohol Use the number only raises to 201,000 alcohol abusers. This number represents 1.18 % of the total population with an Alcohol dependency abuse problem in the United States.
When people look for help with Alcohol addiction, they are looking to solve a problem now and forever. The rates of admissions for Alcohol in 2014 were at 2,146 and they seem to climb every year. These numbers represent real people looking for a real, effective solution but not finding it.
Living in Oklahoma you may be wondering if there is any treatment that works for addiction. The simple answer is treatment doesn’t work. While numbers increase for Alcohol addiction in Oklahoma, helping someone overcome Alcohol is really about looking for a non 12 Step program as research shows this approach to be an effective long term solution.
If you’ve attended traditional treatment, or even just heard about 12 Step or treatment programs, you probably have been told that addiction is a life sentence to a cycle of recovery and relapse. Treatment would have you believe that so you will accept returning to treatment again and again, particularly after relapse. Treatment programs promise relapse as a certainty because their focus is abstinence alone. You are told to fear your “triggers” of use and any stress until your world is very small and centered on fighting off that inevitable relapse. Relapse is inevitable if you are relying on treatment’s limited help for change. In Oklahoma alone, of the 2,146 people seeking help for Alcohol, 56.1% or 1,204 relapse in just one year. If treatment were the only alternative this would be terrible news but luckily there is a proven effective alternative.
