I've dealt with substance abuse a lot. I still sometimes over medicate when I'm depressed. Having been to rehab a few times and detox more than 6 times, I will say that AA and NA was initially presented as the only solution, and after a few years of giving both a fair shake, I dislike 12 step programs very much. There are many options if you really want to quit; don't lose hope and have faith that there's no single solution. I eventually got well on my own and by working with a pdoc who was not adamant about AA being the only answer.

Good luck...
