The articles on rehab-wiki differ from those in wikipedia mainly because every article here is related to rehab in some way - topics like the human brain and family elements are all geared towards their relationship with the rehab process. Additionally, the articles here are not encyclopedia articles - feel free to add your own personal experiences and knowledge to all of the articles - this is a much less formal community than Wikipedia (which this page is in no way affiliated with) so spread the knowledge!

Featured Article: How to find a rehab program
|
| Finding the right rehab program can be a very difficult process: usually it must be done quickly because addiction is a serious problem. Additionally there are often concerns about paying for rehab and whether or not staging an intervention will be necessary. There is also the question of detox, which is often necessary to undergo before entering a rehab program.
The biggest favor you can do for yourself, whether you're looking for a program for yourself or for a friend or family member - is to talk to a professional. This is usually incredibly simple - all you need to do is call a rehab facility and ask to talk to a counselor. A certified rehab counselor can answer any question you might have and will let you know exactly what steps must be taken in your situation. This consultation is quick, easy and free.
You can also research the process of rehab through this website or by doing a simple web search - there are a lot of free resources for you.
It's important to start rehab as soon as possible, but it's just as important to make sure you've found the right program and determined exactly how much time is needed in the program itself.

Featured Article: 12 step vs. alternative programs
|
|
The most popular support groups are 12 step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, these have been shown to help individuals maintain sobriety and conduct numerous meetings around the world. There are alternatives to the 12 step programs as well, these programs often differ in the sense that they do not incorporate a spiritual element into the recovery; support groups like Moderation Management even allow for moderation rather than outright abstinence.
There's no clearcut answer to what program is best as it varies depending on the circumstances. It's also possible to attend more than one support group concurrently.
The benefit of 12 step programs is that they are very popular and can be located just about anywhere. They all advocate complete sobriety and often incorporate the use of sponsors to further reinforce sobriety. The 12 step programs maintain that addiction is a life long affliction, and some opponents of these programs claim that this stigmatizes the individual.
Individuals who are not religious or spiritual also tend to oppose the fact that 12 step programs are oriented in a religious manner due to the fact that some of the 12 steps involve a 'higher power' which is interpreted as God, but not of any particular religion.
