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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A therapeutic approach to recovery that really works!,
By A Customer
This review is from: You Can Free Yourself from Alcohol and Drugs; How to Work a Program That Keeps You in Charge (Paperback)
As a chemical dependency therapist in a residential treatment program, I have been using the method outlined in Mr. Althauser's book for the past two years. Clients love the "therapeutic goals" approach because it's personal, meaningful, empowering, simple and (best of all) it really works! If you are working with, affected by, or interested in chemical dependency, do yourself a favor and read this book.

Not worth my time!,
By "lory22" (Rainier, Oregon USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You Can Free Yourself from Alcohol and Drugs; How to Work a Program That Keeps You in Charge (Paperback)
As a recovering addict, I feel this approach to be a quater messure at best and only treating a part of the disease. Unless I treat all the disease I can not recover. If I could give this book no stars I would.
