1. Counselor or Therapist
This would be when an addict or alcoholic meets
with a counselor or therapist like once or twice
a week and talks about their problems and their
progress in recovery.  The therapist can help
guide the addict in recovery and make suggestions
to help encourage the addict to take positive
action.

3. AA or NA
Twelve step meetings like those of Alcoholics
Anonymous are a form of group therapy but are a
bit more specialized and specific.  These
programs might also include other forms of
therapy, such as sponsorship and various AA
functions such as retreats, dances, or get
together.

Some people rely heavily on medication to
overcome addiction, such as opiate addicts who
take methadone or even an alcoholic who takes
Campral to reduce cravings.

1. Protected and Controlled
In rehab, the clients are in a very well
controlled space, where people are searched for
drugs and alcohol before they come in.  This
offers a huge advantage over other forms of
treatment, because a huge part of the battle in
early recovery is simply about self control.  If
the drug is not available then people will not
relapse as easily.

5. Flexible Options
Inpatient rehab  can draw from many possible
recovery techniques.  For example, most inpatient
programs will expose clients to a number of
different therapies, including counseling, 12
step meetings, group therapy, and peer support
groups.  Most other options do not offer this
level of variety and flexibility.  They are not
as powerful because their options are more
limited.
