Drug Rehab - 12 Steps or Less?
Drug Rehab - 12 Steps or Less?
The 12 step rehab program is infamous. It was originally formed
by Alcoholics Anonymous, but has since been successfully adapted
and applied to many drug rehab programs. Narcotics Anonymous was
the first drug 'support group' to adopt the 12 step program.
Essential to the 12 step programs, both Alcoholic's Anonymous
and Narcotic's Anonymous is spirituality. This doesn't mean one
is required to believe in Allah, Jesus or be of any pre-existing
faith. Instead, each member is encouraged to simply put their
faith in a 'higher power', and this can be of any design they
choose.
Both the AA and NA consist entirely of addicts and ex-addicts,
or recovering addicts, as they refer to themselves. They are a
self-sustaining group. They are both non-profit organisations
and don't employ professional therapists or counsellors. Nor do
they operate any residential alcohol or drug rehab centers.
Although both the AA and NA have operated successfully
for many,
many years, they nevertheless have their critics. Many of who
argue the 12 step system is outdated, and question its
effectiveness in modern times. Also by encouraging people to put
their faith in a 'higher power' which is the core train of
thought for the 12 step program followers, many critics feel
this takes away from the individuals own achievements and
efforts and hands their process-of-recovery into the hands of an
outward-power. Many believe the key to cracking addiction lies
in believing more in ones self than in a higher power.
The question is which is more effective? Encouraging the
individual to empower themselves and believe in themselves, or
encouraging them to believe in a higher power and put all
failure and achievement in that?
The answer is, perhaps, whoever you believe in most, a higher
power or yourself.
