Recovery

Home Treatment Self Help

 

It is our philosophy that any and all recovery programs that help you to recover from addiction are legitimate.  We focus on 12 Step programs because of their known efficacy and wide availability.  Also research (e.g. PROJECT MATCH  ) has shown 12 Step facilitation compares favorably with other approaches.

Upon starting in recovery a physician should be consulted as withdrawal can be life threatening.  See the page on treatment for links to sites which may be helpful in finding a physician or treatment center.
