Hazelden's Addiction Treatment and Education

Women for Sobriety
Gender-specific self-help support program. Based on a Thirteen Statement Program of positivity that encourages emotional and spiritual growth.

Rational Recovery
An approach for self-recovery that can be learned only through printed materials or from the web site. Opposes recovery groups of any kind. Teaches a lifetime commitment to abstinence.

SMART Recovery (Self Management and Recovery Training)
Uses congnitive-behavioral principles to help members recognize environmental and emotional triggers for addictive behaviors. Offers face-to-face and online mutual help groups. (Launched by people who were originally part of Rational Recovery.)

Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS) -- also known as "Save Our Selves"
Alternative recovery program for those who are uncomfortable with the spiritual content of 12-step. Abstinence is the first priority.

LifeRing Secular Recovery (LSR)
Secular program similar to SOS. Based on abstinence and peer group support. Includes both alcoholics and addicts.

Moderation Management
National nonprofit self-help group for people who want to quit or cut down on their drinking before they experience serious consequences. Not designed for alcohol-dependent people, formerly dependent people who are now abstaining, or for drug or food problems.
