Is Alcoholics Anonymous More Effective Than Cognitve Behavioral Therapy?
Question by abnjim5: Is Alcoholics Anonymous more effective than Cognitve Behavioral Therapy?
Much debate exists about which model is more effective in treating the problem of drug addiction. Some say AA is the only treatment that “works” while others choose the more human friendly non-religious CBT. AA uses rigid spiritual concepts based on their 12 steps and conducts their AA meetings on strict formats that were written seven decades ago. In AA “labels” like alcoholic are used which still holds a high degree of social stigmatism. Cognitive Behaviour programs like SMART (self-management and rehab treatment) sees substance abuse as a behaviour that can be changed, not a disease. CBT self-help methods are solidly based in comtemporary science and open discussions are encouraged. AA tells it members and “newcomers” that they need to find a higher power or god and relying on “self will” is bad and will lead to relapse.

Health problems, especially ones that cause the patient to be chronically ill. There’s a connotations that I know a lot of people hold that young immediately equates healthy, which makes it difficult for a ill teen to be understood and integrate with others. There’s also an emotional aspect with being ill that is important is addressed. I really think ill teens and children are an overlooked issue.
What Are Some Kinds of Illegal Texts?
Question by Larry Stylinson: What are some kinds of illegal texts?
Let me explain.
We had something called DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and they tell us not to use drugs, abuse alcohol that stuff. Our last day of DARE was a couple of days ago and the officer was telling us about how cyberbullying is wrong, and when some people commit suicide from lets say, nasty text messages, some of it can be used against the bully because some of it was illegal.
Now my question, what kinds of texts are illegal?
