Non 12-Step Drug Rehab

Traditional 12-step drug rehab programs provide a style of treatment for drug addiction that assumes that everyone's experience with drugs, both physical and psychological, are equal and that the medical treatment that will best break that addiction and prepare them for a lifetime without drugs is the same for everyone.

Non 12-step drug rehabs like The Canyon assume the exact opposite. At The Canyon, we believe that every person who comes to us for treatment has a unique story that has spawned unique drug rehab needs and treatment goals. We are here to help you define your treatment goals, explore your story and provide you with the tools you need to succeed without drugs and alcohol when you return home. For that, we offer the option for 12-step treatment while providing you with a wide range of therapeutic options to create your own personalized rehab experience.

Non 12-Step Drug Rehab: Alternative Therapies

Alternative therapies in drug rehab are only "alternative" in that they are not the traditional 12-step treatment that most drug rehabs base their programs upon. At The Canyon, every alternative treatment we employ is evidence-based, which means that it has been clinically tested and shown to be effective in drug addiction treatment. The alternative therapies that you can expect to find at The Canyon include:

• Art therapy
• Equine-assisted therapy
• Ropes and adventure therapy
• EMDR/ Hypnotherapy
• Psychodrama
• Expressive therapy
• Structured metaphor and experiential groups

Non 12-Step Drug Rehab: Personalized Treatment

Personalized treatment is also something that you'll only find at a non 12-step drug rehab. With all of the alternative therapies available to you, you have the option to choose new treatments that intrigue you, expand your time in a therapy that genuinely speaks to you, and drop from your schedule any treatment that doesn't seem to be helping. A personalized treatment program is just that: a day-to-day schedule that you have control over in consort with your personal therapist with whom you meet weekly to update and revise your treatment plan.

Non 12-Step Drug Rehab: Support Group Without Judgment

A big part of 12-step drug rehab programs are the 12-step support group meetings that take place. Similar support group sessions are a big part of non 12-step drug rehab programs as well. By meeting with others who have the same issues with drugs and alcohol, you begin to build a community, learn how to interact with others without using drugs and alcohol as a crutch and feel less isolated. Drug addiction is extremely isolating and by talking openly about your past and speaking your goals out loud, others can help you let go of any self-blame or shame surrounding and hold you accountable for the bright future you want for yourself.
