Alternative to 12-Step Programs for Addiction Treatment in San Clemente

  • SMART Recovery: SMART Recovery is an acronym for self-management and recovery training. This is a recovery program that aims to empower individuals with the skills required to maintain and thrive in sobriety while they reenter society. In SMART recovery, substance abuse is viewed as a dysfunctional habit that people can take personal control over rather than something out of their hands.

            This program is based on a 4-Point Program:

  1. Building and maintaining the motivation to change.
  2. Coping with urges to use.
  3. Managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in an effective way without addictive behaviors.
  4. Living a balanced, positive, and healthy life.
  • Women for Sobriety: This program helps women recover through addressing and providing alternatives for negative thoughts and behaviors. It helps addicts to create new patterns and establish a new, healthy life. It is a secular recovery group that works specifically for women, giving them a safe space to change their lives.
  • Refuge Recovery: Based on Buddhist philosophy, Refuge Recovery follows the belief that the root cause of suffering is people’s need to dispel pain while attempting to fulfill an incessant thirst for pleasure. It follows the line of thought that drinking and alcohol hold addicts hostage and stuck in suffering, while the Buddhist practices teach compassion for oneself and healthy ways to cope with feelings, urges, and pain.
  • S.O.S.: SOS is an acronym for Secular Organizations for Sobriety, created by James Christopher, who created the program for non-religious addicts. This program follows the belief that people have the ability to stay sober based on personal integrity, values, and beliefs, prioritizing sobriety over all else. It holds the individual responsible for preventing relapse and expects them to do whatever it takes to keep from using drugs and alcohol.
