Most of these types of holistic drug rehabs, drug-free, alternative, and cognitive based. Replacement drugs only set a person addicted to drugs up for failure. You must get to the underlying issues of why a person started to abuse alcohol or drugs in the first place. Non-12 step rehabs do this. Traditional programs believe addiction is an incurable disease and only provide group counseling.

Individualized counseling and with an addiction specialist is very effective in figuring out why a person used drugs. Also finding the right type of detox program is also important. A medical detox gently tapers a person off of drugs or alcohol so that they don’t have any seizures. Remember that sometimes you cant just cold turkey off of certain prescription medications, and you need the help of a medical professional to detox you off of them.

Lets get back to why the state of California has the best drug rehab centers in the country. The main reason is they have more alternative treatment programs that do not use the 12 steps. Holistic and non-12 step drug rehabs are the best program and offer the highest success rate as well.

The reason is that in a traditional drug treatment center, the 12 steps are used. The 12-step treatment program teaches a person that their addiction is an incurable disease and that relapse is part of recovery. They also preach that the patient is powerless and has no control. This lowers a persons self esteem and confidence. The problem is when people first enter rehab, they have already “beat” themselves up enough. This also victimizes a person and does not allow for them to take responsibility and gives them an excuse to continue to relapse.

Rehab is not the only holistic form treatment available. Detox is also very important for a person looking for a comprehensive treatment center. An effective oxycontin detox should provide a medical tapering process, which gently takes a person off of the opiate. In conjunction, a nutritional program, which uses vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and a well balanced diet, will speed up the recovery process. Drugs and alcohol burn up essential vitamins and minerals in the body and replacing these is key.

Once the person has been properly detoxed, now rehabilitation can take place. Cognitive counseling and life skills therapy are the most effective forms of treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. This alternative form of rehab can be found in most non-12 step drug rehabs.
