The “Twelve Step” programs are not for all<br />
people. If such a program just doesn’t feel<br />
right for you, there are other options which can<br />
be explored to break alcohol or drug addiction.<br />
However, unlike “Twelve Step” programs, which<br />
are usually without financial fees, other treatment<br />
programs have expenses which are sometimes<br />
covered by medical insurance. Here are four other<br />
significant ways of treating substance abuse:<br />
1. Inpatient Rehab Treatment<br />
This is inpatient treatment at a hospital or center<br />
running some 28 days or more. There are centers<br />
all over America patterned after the famous<br />
Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs, California and<br />
the Hazelton Group, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.<br />
You should check the center out first and ask<br />
about results.<br />
2. Outpatient Rehab Treatment<br />
Such treatment takes several months and is<br />
done under the supervision of medical and psychological<br />
professionals.<br />
