Outpatient care ranges from free of charge, meaning self-help groups like SMART Recovery, Moderation Management, but there’s also some other ones like SOS, Women for Sobriety and Recovery Incorporated. These are all out-patient, free, self-help groups that are available via the internet. Not every single town has one, but please look at the internet, and you’ll see if there’s a meeting by you. Each of the philosophies are somewhat different, but they’re free of charge. Now the price goes up from there, of course. You know, an individual therapist can range from, you know, $75 an hour to $350 an hour. You could go once a week, you could go twice a week, you could go three times a week, ’cause that could be quite expensive. Outpatient structured, outpatient is generally somewhere between the $3,000 and $5,000 range for three months. For more information visit http://www.aaalternatives.com

The unfortunate thing is that in this country there are very few treatment resources for behavioral addiction. There are some, but there are not a lot. If you had a chemical addiction you’d find a treatment resource, probably, on every corner. However, for behavior addictions, they’re quite difficult to find. If you’re going to go about finding a recovery program and a more cognitive behavioral one, probably the easiest one to identify is a private clinician, private psychologist, social worker, or mental health professional in your community. The best place to find that is in your phone book or information. You call up and you ask your local psychological association as well as call up the National Organization of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists or go online and look for a professional within your community. Beyond doing private one on one or private group, there are a few inpatient facilities (not a lot) around the country. There are some outpatient facilities; that means that you don’t go in, you don’t check yourself in, and you don’t sleep there. There are support groups, although not a lot. There’s smart recovery, where the individual wants an abstinence goal. There’s moderation management, which is for harm reduction goal, but there are not a lot of support groups on that level. However, there are Internet chat rooms and there are Internet resources that aren’t exactly formalized support groups but you can get some accurate and solid information on approaching it from a cognitive behavioral standpoint.

Outpatient services are quite a bit broader than inpatient services. If you’re looking for a particular orientation, be it more eastern, more cognitive behavioral for that matter, the choices are much broader than residential. The choices, therefore, lie everything from one on one individual therapy to group therapies that meet once a week, to support groups such as Smart Recovery or Moderation Management or, you know, the twelve step approach. Or there are very formalized outpatient programs, we go one, two, three hours a day, three, four days a week for 3 to 6 months. So the range is quite large and it is very helpful to stay involved. These addictions are not cured with a shot or any medication, they’re cured through practice of doing things, doing life another way. For more information visit http://www.aaalternatives.com

Moderation Management is a 51C national self-help support group primarily dealing with alcohol problems. But the principles of moderation management can be applied to any behavioral problem and any behavioral addiction. There is an internet chat room and internet support and tools and strategies that are available for someone to look up online. It’s free of charge. It’s a new paradigm in the self-help movement and the only one I know of that approaches it from a harm reduction standpoint. For more information visit http://aaalternatives.com
