Addition Recovery Programmes – Addict Group Therapy, The 12 Steps and a Healthy Lifestyle

There are many addiction recovery programmes available to suffering addicts who are in need of in-patient rehabilitation. The most successful rehabilitation methods involve addict group therapy, a Twelve Step Programme and a healthy lifestyle. The combination of these three therapeutic tools establishes a healthy physical, emotional and spiritual basis to begin a life of recovery with a stable foundation upon which to grow.
