	Drug & alcohol rehab alternatives and how to find right treatment program

Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers come in all shapes, sizes and flavors!

oday's drug or alcohol rehab centers offer a wide variety of addiction treatment options. No longer are programs based solely on the "12-step" model developed by Alcoholics Anonymous.

If the addict is a good student who learns quickly in classroom situations, a program that contains many lectures might be appropriate. An athletic outdoors type would probably have the most success with one of the adventure-based programs.

A person with strong religious beliefs might benefit most from one of the religion-based programs, and there still are other treatment centers that specialize in "dual-diagnosis" situations in which the addict also has known psychological issues or disorders.

On the most basic level, we classify centers as follows:

Community-based programs:
- Support groups & Counselling
- Out-patient services
- In-patient programs
Residential drug or alcohol rehab centers in which the addict lives for anywhere from 28 days to several months:
- 12-step-based programs
- Religious-based centers
- Alternative treatment programs based on modern "new age" philosophies.
Alternative treatment programs
- Outdoor adventure programs
- Programs based on modern "new-age" philosophies and treatment models
