Synopsis

Many mental health professionals and people in recovery have long felt uncomfortable with the 12-step programme's spiritual emphasis. Doug Althauser has developed an alternative approach that removes the traditional reliance on a higher power. This ten-goal programme respects the individual beliefs of addicts and alcoholics while still requiring them to change their lifestyle from one of dependence to recovery.

Therapists who use this process have found it helpful. This process will address the needs of patients who want a different approach to recovery.
