Alternatives Addiction Treatment

One Size Never Fits All

Alternatives Addiction Treatment offers Non-12-Step based addiction treatment that utilizes the latest evidence-based approaches. Alternative’s non-traditional approach allows clients to play an active role in their own treatment, which includes having a voice in setting their treatment goals: whether that be abstinence or moderation. Alternatives stands by the belief that individuals struggling with drug or alcohol use should not be bound by the “addict” label; the expectation to remain abstinent for life in this way can be unrealistic and damaging to millions of people who struggle with drug or alcohol use.

The vision at Alternatives is that a single system of treatment, no matter how effective, will never be able to address every individual. At Alternatives, they believe there is another way.
