California Behavioral Health is a renowned treatment center providing proven addiction therapy approaches to make your treatment process as comprehensive as possible. We have a unique and innovative approach to caring for our residents as we believe that with the correct support and aftercare, we can help every individual overcome their addiction.
Our experience shows that recovery is not a "One size fits all" process. While 12-step programs work for some, they do not work for everyone and often we find that people will go as far as they can in a 12-step program, but they are still not well or fully in recovery. Very often they will find themselves in the cycle of relapse or sometimes, they simply reach the point where they need to go to the next level to achieve true sobriety.
Being a Non 12-step addiction treatment center does not mean we are anti 12-step. On the contrary, we endorse whatever support system will help a person to recover and then stay recovered. Support groups provide community and fellowship. We help our clients to find the ongoing support that will best suit their needs. The 12-step program is based on the belief that a person cannot recover from an addiction, codependency or other co-occurring disorders, while we believe that they can.
The distinction here is that the 12 steps are based on powerlessness over a person, place or thing which creates fear of taking the first drink/drug. Fear may be a motivator in early recovery, but it often proves to be ineffective in the long term. Fear and powerlessness are limiting and constricted alienating mental states, and neuroscience supports that prolonged fear and stress hinder recovery and limit human potential. Also, wording contained within the 12 Steps refers to God, and this can be alienating for individuals who are secular, or whose sense of faith has been weakened.
