[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 552438, member: 11791"] Like so many other areas... SA treatment and what works/doesn't work seems to be, to a large extent, dependent on several factors: 1) personality 2) history 3) co-morbid conditions Unless you can find a method that covers all three of those for a particular person, it probably isn't going to work. I can't handle group-work. Period. I know others who are the same. That really kills options like AA. My GFGbro, due to the way he was brought up, couldn't deal with the "higher-power" driven AA approach. He ended up with a therapist who was also an addictions counsellor... and that worked for him. And I have friends who still haven't found answers, because the therapies that seem to work for their addiction, work against their other issues. If a particular therapy doesn't work... it's important (but not always possible) to figure out WHY it doesn't work. If you can figure that out, then it is more obvious if the therapy needs more time, or if something different is needed. [/QUOTE]
