For many people, the 12-step program is the turning point of their life. However, for some, it unfortunately did not help them achieve sobriety. If you or your loved ones are part of the latter group, don’t give up on recovery. You simply have to find an alternative that works, such as the 5i curriculum that this article focuses on.
Why the 12-Step Program Might Not Work for You
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) created and implemented the 12-step program, which is a strategy for conquering urges and addictions. This model’s central idea is that individuals can support one another in achieving and maintaining sobriety.
The program helps individuals who are dealing with alcohol addiction learn new coping mechanisms and experience the acceptance and support of a caring community. It also supports long-term addiction recovery and the transition of recovering alcoholics into sobriety. Even so, it’s still not the best tool for everyone.
For most people, relying too much on spirituality is a big no-no. The 12-step program is rooted in the principle that surrendering to a higher power is the only way for victims to be sober. This would immediately turn off or isolate atheists and agnostics.
Admitting your helplessness over your addiction is another one of the steps that many people find hard to consider, especially if their addiction has already caused them to have low self-esteem. For some, it immediately appears counterintuitive, which makes them hesitate to enter the program.
The 12-step program can also be too rigid at times, not leaving room for some members with more uncommon circumstances. For instance, 79% of AA members prefer in-person meetings, making it a hassle for those living away from AA meeting locations to attend. Some people aren’t too keen on talking in groups about these personal problems either.
The 5i Curriculum as a Better Alternative
The 5i curriculum is another program that helps alcoholics recover and can be an effective and sustainable alternative to the 12-step program by AA. It relies on science rather than faith in a higher power. Specially developed by Hills & Ranges Private Rehabilitation Centre’s team of qualified counsellors and experts, the 5i curriculum has already helped many struggling alcoholics achieve sobriety and get back control over their lives.
Over the years, we have tested and refined our 5i recovery process to make it the most successful approach to addiction recovery. Our 5i program integrates the widely accepted concepts of cognitive behavioural therapy and the finest abstinence-based programs into a five-module procedure. Anybody with an alcohol addiction, regardless of severity, can benefit from the process.
Testimonials of Success With the 5i Curriculum
Our addiction programs address the psychological and emotional components. This holistic approach enables people to overcome past traumas and create healthy coping strategies. It also helps them develop an optimistic outlook that promotes resilience and personal development.
Additionally, the staff members who provide assistance are or have been in recovery. This guarantees they are empathic and compassionate enough to fully comprehend the clients’ difficulties.
“Everybody understands you. Everybody is in the same shoes. There are no judgments. They deal with you with such compassion, empathy, and acceptance that I’ve never once felt uncomfortable. I feel like every base is covered,” said a former client who completed the 28-day program.
At Hills and Ranges Private, we use a novel, multifaceted, and holistic approach to treatment following the principles of our patented 5i curriculum. This helps us deal with any severity of alcohol addiction. One of our clients is living proof of that. She shares, “I went into Hills and Ranges Private a very, very broken woman with no faith – completely alone and isolated. And I was a different person when I completed the program.”
HARP is also ideal for working professionals with substance abuse disorders and related conditions. We understand the grind and busy schedules. According to a study on the barriers to addiction treatment, 12.5% of respondents stated they don’t have time for treatment because they have tasks to do at work or home. That’s why we rise to the occasion instead.
We provide discreet private jet transfers from any location in Australia and internationally as part of our commitment to providing our clients with high-standard services. “I didn’t feel well. I didn’t want to go to the airport in the situation that I was in. Then Ed messaged me, I think, an hour later and said he could organize a private jet. It’s an option for me if I didn’t want to go through the airport and I didn’t feel well. I took that and ran with it,” one of our clients recounted.
We know your desire to reclaim your life, wake up guilt-free, and become the person you truly desire to be. You might, however, feel as though there is no hope for the future in your present situation. Fortunately, HARP’s addiction recovery program is made to instil confidence in you and your ability to recover. We provide essential, continuous aftercare support after the residential recovery program, which is individualised to meet your needs and help you get back on the right track.
“What they offered me was an opportunity to take a break. To actually figure out what was wrong, what the potential is for the future, and find a pathway to get there,” shared a former client who is happy to pass on the message that there is a possibility for change, no matter the extent of one’s addiction.
