Some people have successfully overcome their addiction without attending a residential Rehab programme. Various methods exist, like joining a support group like NA, AA, CA etc.,  attending an outpatient rehab programme, having sessions with a therapist/ counsellor regularly  and several others, all of which offer support in one way or another. While they all operate in good faith, and the people who represent them do their utmost to help others, Let's call a spade a spade. Any one of these methods on its own  is extremely unlikely to provide any real benefit in the short term.

Utilising several of the above methods together, could possibly create a combination that would work (and has) for some people, though this will almost always involve a period of trial and error until the components from each of them that resonate with you are identified, allowing you to create the right system for you. While time is not on your side, you have to understand that throughout the entire process, there is a force residing within you whose only objective is to try and make you fail at every opportunity.. It's possible, yes... Do-able, yes.. And you will learn that there is documented proof that there are many people who have succeeded going down this route... However, what you won't find out, is any real information as to what the success vs failure percentage is.

While it is a method that can , and has, worked for several, the risks associated with this system have derailed substantially more people than those who succeeded. Trying to establish this method, while still living in the same environment you became an addict in, with a subconscious mind that is determined to make you fail, makes success an incredibly hard objective to achieve.

We believe that going to rehab is the best option because it gets you out of the environment that had become toxic to you, instantly provides all the information you will need on hand, requiring no effort to search for it, compressing and organising your experience into one intense experience,  all while being monitored by trained professionals who are there to help guide and advise you. 

However, the biggest benefit, whose value you will not be able to truly appreciate till much later, is having a group of peers around you who are having the same human experience as you, yet with completely different background stories. Its from hearing the stories from these peers, that from within each, tiny nuggets of information stand out and make sense to you,  which eventually merge together to create 'your method'.

Nobody else's will ever work for you, you have to find your own.
