The only thing I know is that so many of these rehab centers use religion to create a bunch of very stressed out addicts who become fanatical about Jesus in attempts to overcome physical and mental addiction. |

OK 12 step treatment for alcohol and drug addictions. I would like to hear what peoples opinions are on this, from people with personal experience with it, possibly being themselves, a family member,or a friend, to people with no experience with it, maybe just from what you might have heard. Do you feel that it is a positive treatment for people struggling with addiction, does it work, could it possibly be harmfully, are there better ways for a person to overcome an addiction, in what ways do you feel a person should try to overcome an addiction. Do you feel addiction is a disease like the 12 treatment industry suggest? I would like to hear intelligent opinion from people whatever your stance might be on this issue. What I don't want to hear is stupid things like "rehab is for quitters" or other such nonsense. I have my own opinions on this that I will hold back on until I get some feedback from other people so as to not persuade or discourage anyone's opinions |

The people I have seen have the best outcome with 12 step programs are not the people who became so much involved in literal religion. It's the ones who make a religion out of their program. I used to know people in COPAC and AA who treated those programs as if they were religions, and those are the only serious drug addicts I have ever seen stay sober. I never heard them talking about Jesus or Allah. I just heard a bunch of, "Completed the steps... my sponsor... I'm not supposed to that.... go to a meeting..." I saw one of them start balling one time because she went against one of the rules. The stuff works on those people. |
