Non Religious Rehab Comes in Many Styles
Many substance abuse rehab programs are based on specific religious beliefs. Indeed, the original 1935 Alcoholics Anonymous 12 Steps included several appeals to God or a higher power.
Even though some atheists and agnostics have recovered using AA's 12 Steps, and even though AA insists its 12 step method is not religious, many non religious people are uncomfortable with this spiritual approach to recovery.
And modern science has come a long way since 1935 in dealing with substance abuse and drug addiction. Many people have recovered using only medical and psychological therapies. And a host of alternative rehab approaches are also available today.
Non Faith Based Rehab Is Based on Scientific and Holistic Approaches
No matter whether you choose a faith based or non religious rehab, a medically supervised detox is paramount. Drug addiction causes changes in the brain and the body that make detoxification potentially life-threatening for all addicts and alcoholics.
After detox, the many competing methods toward recovery can seem confusing and daunting. But all of these non religious rehab methods can be successful for the right people.
Pharmaceutical Therapy
Some find it ironic to treat drug addiction with more drugs, but many recovering substance abusers find that drug therapy works for them. It is certainly among the least expensive rehab methods in terms of money and time. All you need is a prescription from your doctor.
Drugs are available to:
- Reduce cravings for drugs or alcohol
- Lessen the effects of drugs or alcohol
- Make you ill if you take drugs or drink
Pharmaceutical therapy allows people to avoid long stays in residential rehab centers. Also, some non religious rehab centers use a combination of drug and behavioral therapy to get results.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a general term for a wide range of psychological therapies that emphasize the idea that people have the power to change negative behavior, an idea that is contrary to one of the pillars of the 12 step approach, that people are powerless to change themselves.
Most CBTs are talking therapies that may require a lot of time to get the full effects. CBT rehab seeks to address holistically the causes of addiction as well, not just the addictive behavior, using the latest in methods in psychology.
Holistic Rehab
Many substance abuse rehab programs use alternative and sometimes controversial techniques to promote recovery. By applying many different nontraditional therapies, holistic rehab appeals to many patients. Some of the nontraditional elements in holistic rehab include:
- Massage therapy
- Acupuncture
- Herbal therapy
- Nutritional therapy
- Hypnotherapy
- Yoga
- Tai-chi and other Asian disciplines
- Stress management
- Recreational therapy
- Art therapy
- Guided imagery therapy
- Breathwork therapy
Secular Support Groups
Most addicts recover better when they have support groups to lean on after rehab. AA relies heavily on regular attendance at meetings. But those looking for non religious rehab often have trouble finding support groups not involved with 12 step programs.
These secular support groups exist, but finding them can be challenging. Like short-term and long-term rehab centers, most donŐt advertise their spiritual affiliations.
