What does Non 12 step rehab mean? Rehab in California.
Non 12 step rehab programs are not faith based and are not based on the beliefs and have the same methods as standardized 12 step programs. The philosophy of 12 step programs can be rigid and can be contrary to evidence. Here are some of the major differences:
12 step programs believe you are powerless over your addiction. You need a higher power (religion, God) to overcome addiction is also a cornerstone of 12 step programs. These are the most glaring differences and cause the most issues with the general public.
Anything that isn’t a 12 step program is a non 12 step program. Non 12 step programs focus on your free will to overcome addiction, this gives you the power to overcome addiction and stay sober through the course of your lifetime, putting the responsibility of sobriety squarely on the individual.
Is there a better choice between 12 step or Non 12 Step Rehab?
Success rates are near identical between these types of programs. 12 step programs can be good for some as thousands of people have had success with them. The same can be said about non 12 step programs as thousands have also had success with these types of programs. Personal choice, religious belief, and your own philosophy is the major difference.
How do I know if a 12 step program or a Non 12 Step Rehab is right for me? Non 12 Step Programs in California
You have to make your choice between the 2 types of programs based on your personal beliefs, one is not necessarily better than the other, it is personal choice.
Both types of rehab have the same types of therapy, 1 on 1, group therapy, activities, and MAT, or medication assisted treatment is available across the board. Philosophy and religious beliefs are the main difference and you must decide what you believe. The other being whether you hae control, or whether this is left up to your God. Non 12 step gives you free will, and agency over the addiction. A good example is therapists in non 12 step programs will talk about you taking back control of your life where as in a 12 step program you must give up control to a higher power.
