There’s no single “right” way to treat alcohol or drug problems. After 50 years in addiction medicine, the truth is clear: recovery must be personalized.

If you’ve struggled with approaches that didn’t feel like they fit, you’re not alone. There are many paths to recovery, and the best one is the one that works for you.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and help is available.
