If you are dealing with addiction, what sort of help should
you be seeking out?
I love science. And one of the things that science has done
for us is that it has shown us what addiction recovery programs work and which
don’t. Check out this research from Behavior Therapy Associates: http://www.behaviortherapy.com/ResearchDiv/whatworks.aspx
One of the things you will notice is that acupuncture has a
better success rate for addicts than Alcohol Anonymous does. But what really seems to work is brief
interventions and self-help of the sort geared towards helping people establish
new habits through motivational enhancements.
Programs that require you to be in therapy for a really long
time and basically transfer your addiction from alcohol to treatment aren’t
that effective.
What you want is a targeted approach that will help you
establish new ways of behaving and interacting with the addiction you no longer
want to have. There are several resources listed at the website and the do have
online programs of the sort that seem to work best. So if you are struggling with addiction,
check them out.
