Sunshine Coast Health Centre is a best-in-class alcohol treatment for men in Powell River, British Columbia, Canada. The Centre is proud to announce a new post explaining the basic differences between 12 step and non 12 step treatment methodologies.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, November 25, 2020 (Newswire.com) - Sunshine Coast Health Centre (https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/), a top-rated program in British Columbia for alcohol treatment, is excited to announce a new post explaining key aspects that differentiate 12 step vs. non 12 step programs. The Centre uses a meaning-based approach to deal with alcoholism and other forms of addiction, and many clients are excited to find a non 12 step program as an alternative to the more common approach of Alcoholics Anonymous.
“Many potential clients come to us because they are searching for a treatment methodology that is non-religious and more empowering than the 12 step approach,” explained Casey Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer. “Many also have questions about the basics of a non 12 step program and may be unfamiliar with the work of either Viktor Frankl or Dr. Paul P.T. Wong. Our new post is a good starting point to understanding the basic differences. ”
The post can be read in its entirety at https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/our-methodology-of-alcohol-treatment-compared-with-alcoholics-anonymous/. It explains the basic differences between the 12 step and non 12 step programs. For example, it explains that the Centre's meaning-centered methodology treats clients as "whole human beings," not an addict or an addiction. It does not pigeonhole the person with an addiction by reducing him to mere thoughts, feelings or behaviours. Finally, while many clients come to a non 12 step methodology because they want a secular, or non-religious approach, others are religious and still want a more human-centric, or meaning-centered methodology. Either way, the goal of the blog post and the goal of the Centre is to identify the best approach for each client that is most likely to lead to success. Persons who want to learn more about the Centre's approach can visit https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/our-approach/ or reach out for a consultation.
