OK so its not a song, but it is an intro to what I hope is a growing concept. The concept that the one size fits all ideal of the 12 step program is failing a great percentage of people seeking recovery. I have found a great variance of numbers dealing with the success rate of current groups available and the average seems to run at 6%. UNACCEPTABLE!!! Just like antibiotics treatment for addictions needs to be nurtured and grown, it must be adaptable to the current society it must reach.
My intent with your help is to break down current stepper program find what is working for people and what is not, Gather data from recovered addicts find what worked for them and why, find out what did not work and find out why, Speak to current addicts thinking about coming to the side of sanity currently unknown to them, dig into their thoughts, find what road blocks they feel are standing before them.
I'm not picking on N/A the 6%+_ they help is better than no %, but a program to work hand in hand along side of N/A with the goal of reaching those that N/A cannot make a connection with. and if this new program only reaches another 2% to start, would 8% still be better than the 6%? I know as a community of concerned caring persons this concept can grow and will to greater levels than previously achieved.
Like N/A this is not a for profit endeavor, the goal is to reach as many as possible, and free of charges other than donations to support local groups, if a true therapeutically effective outreach is developed a fee schedule for actually going through a system created will, well that will be addressed if that day ever comes. For now my main concern is to reach the masses not just the masses with money, so don't expect a profit base from this. the only profit base will be the knowledge that you helped create an effective program to help persons in need. Thank You Rik
