These non 12 step recovery programs could be considered as one of the best methods to cure most of the patients who are suffering from either drugs or alcohol addiction. For, these dozen steps in recovery programs are effective enough to deal with one of the most crucial, at the same time the most neglected, phases of recovery program: the post-treatment period.
It is a common knowledge for anyone who has direct experiences with drug addicts, be they the addicts themselves or having family suffering from addiction, that there is this one big problem those drug addicts constantly struggling even after they finish following the rehabilitation program. And that problem is the urge of coming back, that is to say, to use the drugs again. It has to be made clear therefore that the best treatments of addictive patients should not only cover the ‘in-addiction’ period, but also the post-addiction period. Indeed, it is practically easy to make some patient stop using the drugs. However, it is absolutely difficult to make them stop using the drugs again exactly after they have been declared clean.
In this light of such important notion, it is of your utmost responsibility to look for the programs that will not just cure the patient, but also prevent them from getting addicted again. Luckily, you have such programs with you in this institution. It would be a great unfortunate and loss if you miss notifying such effective programs to cure the suffering members of your family from their own addiction. For, such programs present the best opportunity you could get to help treating the addicted members of your family to have their own future back with them. And what is the better future for them rather than one that could make them stay out of the drugs forever?
