12 Step Programs are powerful in the treatment of addictions.
Most of our clients enjoy participating, and getting acquainted with the 12 step programs while attending Treatment Alternatives Center. It is an opportunity for those in recovery to engage with like minded people who are also interested in living a happy and contented sober life.

The 12 step philosophy has been effective in helping million get and stay sober, and meetings offer an added layer of sobriety protection. As our clients in treatment transition from a life when they drank alcohol and used substances as recreation, they will find that they now need something to fill that time space with. Many replace the time with 12 step meetings, and what some now call their "positive addiction". 12 step meetings are available for every addiction; from Alcoholics Anonymous to Narcotics Anonymous in addition to 12 Step support groups for the family members of the addict called Al Anon.

Some of our clients may prefer to not attend 12 step meetings which we thoroughly support and understand. It is not a mandatory part of our treatment program, just one more "Treatment Alternative". By the time our clients have finished recovery at Treatment Alternatives Center, they have been exposed to many ways to achieve and maintain a happy, productive and sober life.

Admissions for Treatment Alternatives Center starts with a phone call. We offer a variety of addiction treatment programs that can accommodate any budget, and we accept most health insurance policies for admission into treatment. Unfortunately we do not accept Medicare or Medicaid at this time. Not all insurance programs cover addiction treatment, however please call us so that we can confidentially confirm your treatment coverage if applicable.

Self pay and credit cards are also accepted and in some cases partial scholarships and payment arrangements can be made.

Once you decide that you or a loved one will be participating in one of our addiction treatment programs, we will assist you in making the best travel arrangements, and providing a sober companion to accompany the client if necessary. We will make every effort to insure that the admissions process is stress free, and as easy as possible.
