Non-12 Step 1



There are two main approaches in the treatment of substance abuse. One, is a traditional 12-Step Program, and the other is a Non-12 Step Program. The Non-12 Step, applies methods which are not built around one single generic model, but rather implements various tactics, depending on each individual’s needs and circumstances, surrounding their addiction.

There are certain featured principles that a Non-12 Step Program will use, listed as follows:

Every person who enrolls in a Non-12 Step, will have their situation analyzed based on their own unique and specific needs, and then whatever approaches the counselor recommends, are disclosed to that individual.

Another tenet of  a Non-12 Step, is studying  why the addiction exists, due to underlying problems within the individual, and developing a strategy to address those issues and terminate them, thus ending the cycle.
