Alcohol Rehab - What is it and Who Really Needs it... Conventional Alcohol Rehab Treatment Centers Information Conventional, 12-step based alcohol treatment focuses on the premise that alcohol abuse is an uncontrollable disease. In those programs people are taught that they are powerless to overcome their alcohol abuse and that they will receive a “spiritual awakening” if they work their steps correctly. If they do not receive this “awakening” then they are told they have not worked all of the steps correctly and they will have to start over. Most 12-step based programs are 28 days long for insurance billing purposes only and will refer the “patient” to meetings once they have completed the program. The success rates of these programs are very low (5-20%). Also, according to the 12-step philosophy, the person is never fully recovered and is forever in recovery. They are taught that relapse is inevitable and recovery is based on fear. The St. Jude Thaddeus Program is completely different from conventional “treatment”. We are not “treatment” because you are not sick or diseased. We are a social/educational program that helps you to look into the future to come, instead of the past behind. As a human being YOU have the ability to achieve whatever goals you set in life, but in order to do so you need the correct information, and of course a plan to get there. Only YOU can choose what path your life will take. You can recover fully and permanently and your recovery can be based on happiness not fear. Alcohol Detox- Do I need it? Those who have had a problem with alcohol abuse and have stopped drinking already do not need medical detox. However, a small percentage of people do need assistance from a medical facility to detox from alcohol depending on the severity of their drinking. Alcohol withdrawal can be life threatening for some if medical assistance is not sought. Alcohol detox can last anywhere from 3 to 6 days and most insurance companies will pay for this service. Please seek your physician’s advice to see if you need alcohol detox. Detox is just the beginning of a new life, alcohol free. If detox is followed up with motivational enhancements and social skills training, you are sure to improve your quality of life. Here at the St. Jude Retreat House, we can help.
