Question by dalmatianguy2002: Good inpatient rehab centers??
I have a friend who has agreed to enter rehab for a long battle with alcohol, the only problem is deciding what kind of program to go to. He has tried AA several times and an outpatient facility here in MO with little success. He does not want to go to a AA or 12 step based program. I have found many such as Passages in Malibu, CA, and others as well that offer what’s called a “holistic” approach. Does anyone have any advice and know if these sort of places can work??

Just answered a similar question to this. I have a couple of friends who went through rehab (one for drug/alcohol addiction and the other for a mental illness). They used Recovery Connection and they seemed to have a lot of success with it and I’ve noticed a significant change with them as well.

I agree that the best approach is an inpatient rehab center as they seem to be a lot more successful than AA or an outpatient facility.

As a good friend of former addicts, I know how much this means to you so I would definitely recommend checking Recovery Connection out. I found their “alcohol rehab program” section online so I’ll leave a link for it in the source section. I wish your friend good luck and hope he gets the help he needs.
