1. 12 Step Recovery
This is the default solution for the majority of
people, and it is also what gets pushed on the
vast majority of people in drug rehabs and
treatment centers.  Now there is not necessarily
anything wrong with 12 step recovery, so long as
it works for you.  But the fact is that the
success rates with 12 step programs are not all
that outstanding, and some people can certainly
benefit from finding an alternate path.

2. Religion
This is definitely not for everyone.  Some people
do very well in religious based recovery
programs, and still other addicts do well simply
by getting involved with their church again now
that they have stopped using drugs and alcohol.
 It is a solution, though it is not for everyone.
 Again, if it works for you, great.  If not, seek
an alternative.  Pretty simple.

3. Counseling or Therapy
There are some addicts and alcoholics who manage
to stay clean and sober just by seeing a
counselor or therapist once or twice a week.  But
not for all. Because it is not disruptive
enough for most people to break free from drug or
alcohol addiction. Now with that said, an
addict might go to short term rehab, get clean
and sober, and then use counseling as a means to
grow in their recovery and thus maintain their
sobriety.  But I would not rely on counseling as
a way to actually GET clean and sober.  It is not
disruptive enough.

4. Fitness and Exercise
Again, this is more of a long term recovery
technique.  Exercise can be enough to keep
someone sober all by itself, depending on the
dedication and intensity of the exercise.  Most
people will not really get into fitness enough
for it to become their recovery solution, but
some people have done exactly that, and this
serves as a powerful lesson for the rest of us.

5. Holistic Approach
This is the ultimate, in my opinion.  Why use one
strategy for recovery when you can benefit from
them all?  Holistic just means that you are
treating the addict as a whole person in their
recovery.  Thus, exercise does become important.
 So does nutrition, spirituality, emotional
health, and so on.
